Abstract:

An overview of the life of His Holiness, the 15th Dalai Lama with an explanation of how Tibetan Buddhism is both a religion and a "science of the mind." The Dalai Lama shares his crystallized understanding of the nature of mind, and its part in the creation and alleviation of all of our suffering. He discusses how the first step in dealing with emotions is to recognize the patterns, triggers and responses to them. The film also takes a fresh look at what is truly important for the 14th Dalai Lama as he turns 80: The ongoing confrontation between Tibetans and China; His Holiness's influence in political and spiritual spheres; his work with educators and neuropsychologists; and his personal feelings on aging, dying and the question: Will there be a fifteenth Dalai Lama, or will he be the last Dalai Lama?
