The Path of the Dalai Lama - Explora Live Show

Description

Explora Live Show by Manuel Bauer Since 1990, Manuel Bauer has accompanied the Dalai Lama in his private life and on over 50 journeys around the globe. The Swiss photographer was also present when the doors were closed to others. A comprehensive and deeply touching portrait of the Dalai Lama, his escape from Tibet, his secular ethics and compassion, as well as Tibetan Buddhism and current political challenges in exile, has emerged.
In his lecture, Manuel Bauer tells the story of the Tibet region, its occupation by the People's Republic of China, and the Dalai Lama's escape to India. The photographer accompanies the Nobel Peace Prize laureate to Tibetan refugee camps and remote valleys of the Himalayas. He is present when the Dalai Lama begins meditation early in the morning in his private rooms, when he explains Tibetan Buddhism to Japanese people, when he calls for interreligious dialogue in Peru, when he advocates for more engagement for Tibet before the European Parliament, and when he speaks to tens of thousands of people in Central Park, New York. Visually powerful, Manuel Bauer presents complex tantric rituals that guide believers to enlightenment. But the true heart of the lecture is the messages of the Dalai Lama, which describe the path to inner peace and world peace. The Dalai Lama says about Manuel Bauer: "I not only admire his profession, photography, but also him as a person. He is a very nice man, sincere and modest. I think he has a very pure state of mind. This is my personal opinion, my personal feeling. I have known him for many years, and he has shown me a great, deeply felt closeness over all these years. He is a true friend to me."
