Wisdom of Happiness
An intimate and very beautiful documentary about the Dalai Lama, who – now in his nineties – offers practical advice on how we should navigate the challenges of the modern world.
The Dalai Lama reflects on the balance between Tibetan Buddhist traditions and contemporary values in the globalized society we live in. How do we deal with all the violence and wars, and standing on the brink of an environmental catastrophe?
This is an unforgettable and meditative film for our time about finding lasting happiness in the face of all the challenges around us.
