Independent Film Series: The Great 14th: Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama in His Own Words (2022)

Held in the Meeting Room

A screening and discussion of the film that captures the essence of the 14th Dalai Lama - a man whose life has been filled with extraordinary loss, resilience, and achievement—and whose philosophy of kindness continues to inspire millions of people around the world, regardless of faith or political persuasion.

"The Great 14th: Tenzin Gyatso, The 14th Dalai Lama In His Own Words uniquely and exclusively features Tenzin Gyatso as both subject and narrator as he presents the full arc of his epic and very public life as the 14th Dalai Lama. Through intimate conversation and previously unreleased archival footage and images, the Dalai Lama reveals his story and experience of the personal, political, spiritual, and historical events that shaped his life. From childhood to adulthood, in his quest for democracy, The Great 14th offers an extraordinary, unprecedented insight into the complexities of his life-from past lives of the 5th and 13th Dalai Lamas to his current life as the spiritual and former political leader of Tibet and as a tireless Nobel Peace Laureate. This is a story-and a documentary-for the ages, revealing the soul of the simple monk who aspires every day to show us the true nature of power and the nobility of our humanity."
