Join us for a screening, in partnership with the Sawtooth Botanical Garden, of Compassion in Exile: The Life of the 14th Dalai Lama. This 1992 film is an intimate portrait of Tenzin Gyatso, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet. Inherent in the life story of this Nobel Peace Prize laureate is the saga of the suffering of the Tibetan people under Chinese occupation. For over forty years the Dalai Lama has waged a non-violent struggle in exile to bring attention to the plight of his people and save their unique culture and religion. He is the embodiment of the ideal of his Buddhist heritage and practice, and his life story is an inspiring lesson in compassion and peace.

Produced and Directed by Mickey Lemle. Music Composed by Philip Glass. Cinematographer: Buddy Squires. The film runs 1 hour and will be followed by a moderated discussion.

Registration recommended to join us in person.
