Swiss filmmakers Philip Delaquis and Barbara Miller share an intimate audience with his Holiness, the Dalai Lama, in this wide-ranging documentary. Tenzin Gyatso has been the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism since he was five years old. Now, at 90, he talks with characteristic humility and humour about his memories of his loving, empathetic mother and stern father, his unusual upbringing, forced exile from Tibet, and Buddhist philosophy in regards to politics, science, and the environment. The goal, he stresses, is to share practical wisdom on navigating the challenges of our time with peace of mind. At a time when so much discourse is toxic, the Dalai Lama’s emphasis on simplicity and compassion is a breath of fresh air.
