Research into Earth Charter archives revealed the supporting involvement of His Holiness the XIVth Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, in the Earth Charter drafting process. In a letter to Steven Rockefeller, who at the time chaired the international Earth Charter drafting committee, the Dalai Lama blessed the international initiative with the following words:

"Compassion and love should be the guiding light for humans to live harmoniously with nature. Genuine motivation with a warm heart will make the conservation of the environment
more effective. It should be treated as the life-giving water that nourishes the roots of the Earth Charter."

The Earth Charter Program on Religion and Sustainability seeks to share and spread the light of respect and care for the whole creation, and encourages religious and spiritual communities to collaborate in the creation of just, peaceful and sustainable societies.
