A Heart-To-Heart with the Dalai Lama
''WISDOM OF HAPPINESS'' is a profound, new cinematic exploration of the innermost world of the Dalai Lama, perfectly attuned to our times. In an intimate heart-to-heart, the world’s greatest ambassador of compassion invites everyone along for a journey to the source of happiness.
In what is likely to be the Dalai Lama’s last appearance in a film, might be the last great testimony of the 14th Dalai Lama.
Dalai Lama reflects on balancing millennia-old Tibetan Buddhist traditions with contemporary values of our globalized society.
Thanks to his expansive mind and disarming wit, the Dalai Lama’s incredibly complex path to a healthy, happy life is finely distilled and inspires us to see how simple it could be to build to a peaceful, prosperous society for all to thrive. While happiness is born in each of us, only the cultivation of unconditional compassion for one another will transform the world.
The filmmakers weave captivating access with contemplative visuals and never-before-seen archival film to take viewers on a generous meditative climb- from the base of suffering to the peak of human intelligence where the view is simply transformational.
''WISDOM OF HAPPINESS'' is an unforgettable, meditative experience for the 21st Century that not only unlocks a door to genuine, lasting happiness but reveals that each and every one of Earth’s 8 billion beings holds their very own key to it in the palm of their hand.
''WISDOM OF HAPPINESS'' is a very special film that we hope will have a profound effect on how we think and feel about ourselves and others with whom we share this beautiful planet.'' (Richard Gere)
