Dalai Lama Renaissance
Sponsored by KCBX Public Radio
Sunday, March 9 — 2:00pm Palm Theatre
When some of the greatest minds of the Western World get together to solve the world’s problems, egos and reason clash.
At the edge of the Millennium, The Dalai Lama of Tibet invited 40 of the West’s leading, most innovative thinkers in their respective fields to his residence tucked away in the Himalayan mountains of Northern India to discuss the world’s problems and how we can solve them. What transpired was unexpected and powerful as the team wrestled not only with the world’s condition but their own egos as well. The Wakan Foundation for the Arts took its 18-person crew to India and shot more than 140 hours of video footage during the weeklong meeting and exploration of the future of mankind. The resulting feature-length documentary, gives us a delightful glimpse into the childlike heart of this international spiritual leader who refers to himself as “a simple Buddhist monk”. The film is narrated by actor Harrison Ford, and features stars from the hit theatrical documentary film, “What the Bleep Do We Know” (Quantum physicists Fred Alan Wolfe and Amit Goswami). The original music was composed by Roop Verma, a master sitar player and a protégé of the legendary Ravi Shankar. Director/producer Khashyar Darvich and Co-producer, David Mueller will be in attendance. Documentary. USA/India. 1 hr. 20 m. Screens with Awakening Fire.
