In the last little while I have been doing research on western and traditional buddhism and it’s teachings. The Dalai Lama is seen as a spirtual leader for the exiled people of Tibet as well as a global spokesperson for spreading Buddhism across the world. Some call it a religion but I wouldn’t be so mean. I find it more of a way of life and a step that everyone should take atleast once in their life to determine if it is right for them. Here is a documentary about his holiness the Dalai Lama.

From a childhood in “Shangri-La” to a life in exile, BIOGRAPHY presents the riveting, life-affirming journey of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

One of the world’s most admired men, he is the spiritual and secular leader of a nation that exists only as a “Lost Kingdom.” Born Tenzin Gyatso, he is the 14th man recognized by his people as Buddha’s reincarnation and honored with the title he is known by worldwide: His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Yet, for a man so widely respected, His Holiness has been living in exile since 1959, after a failed rebellion against the occupying Chinese forced him to flee his nation.

Highlighting key footage from the Dalai Lama’s life–including his acceptance of the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize–this enlightening program features interviews with Chinese scholars, Tibet activists such as actor Richard Gere, and His Holiness himself to chronicle in great detail the ongoing struggle to free Tibet.
