Wisdom of Happiness

Wisdom of Happiness is an intimate documentary featuring the 90-year-old Dalai Lama, who shares his vision on the major challenges of the 21st century and how we can face them. In the film, he speaks directly to the viewer, reflecting on how to find inner peace and universal happiness. Through moving archival footage, he looks back on his childhood, education, and escape from Tibet during the Chinese occupation. He invites viewers to take a deep breath, look inward, and explore the ancient concept of mindfulness as a path toward a better world. The documentary was made by Barbara Miller and Philip Delaquis and had its world premiere last year at the Zurich Film Festival. Richard Gere is one of the producers.
