In a world dominated by suffering and violence, how can we create Peace in our lives?
This award-winning film embarks on an extraordinary journey with one of the most celebrated humanitarians of all time, the Dalai Lama of Tibet.
The Nobel Peace Prize winner offers a radical vision of how we can create lasting peace within ourselves and on a global level.
Complete with rare behind the scenes access and a candid personal interview, the fly-on-the-wall documentary is as close to a flesh-and-blood encounter with the Dalai Lama as you can get.
As we follow His Holiness on the road around Britain during his last UK visit before stepping down as the exiled Political Leader of Tibet, the film offers an intimate portrait of the man behind the myth with his remarkable warmth, integrity, humility and playful sense of humour, and his unique gift for connecting with people on a personal level.
Offering a compelling insight into the Dalai Lama’s daily life, his escape into exile, and the political situation in Tibet, the film is lightly interwoven with historical context, Buddhist ceremonials and sweeping panoramas of Tibet and the Himalayas, capturing both the essence of the ancient, sacred realm from which His Holiness hails and his rise to prominence on the modern global stage as a powerful emissary of Peace.
“To meet the challenges of our times, I believe humanity must develop a greater sense of Universal Responsibility. Each of us must learn to work not just for our own individual self, family or nation, but for the benefit of mankind.” The Dalai Lama
“The Dalai Lama expresses that we are going to face many problems in the 21st century, with climate change, population increase, but because “these problems are essentially our own creation, we have the ability to solve these problems”.
“It was fascinating to watch the Dalai Lama travelling between British cities and drawing large crowds in order to impart his highly spiritual and pragmatic principles in a meaningful and humorous way.
Sometimes just by using a few carefully chosen words the Dalai Lama is able to express his simple but profound message for humanity at this time in human spiritual evolution.
The film was truly an inspiration, and an enlightening experience into the life and philosophy of Tibet’s well respected spiritual leader.”
