Dalai Lama

In an era when many religious and political leaders are viewed with suspicion, and when cynical agendas rule both government and clergy, the Dalai Lama is undeniably authentic. Along with Martin Luthe...( read more  read more... )r King, Gandhi and Jesus, this great leader inspires millions and has influenced the world in so many ways. This is his story, as told and filmed by Rick Ray during a private visit to his monastery in Dharamsala, India over the course of several months. Also included is rare historical footage as well as footage supplied by individuals who at great personal risk, filmed with hidden cameras within Tibet. Part biography, part philosophy, part adventure and part politics, "10 Questions for the Dalai Lama" conveys more than history and more than answers--it opens a window into the heart of a great man.

    If I had the chance, I don't think I could narrow it down to only 10! he asked some really GOOD ones though...

    I really learned a lot about the Dalai Lama as well as the adversities faced by the Tibetans from the hands of the Chinese. This film has great educational value, and would do really well on the travel channel. However, as a film, this was a little under budget. The value of this...( read more) movie really lies in the background and story about the history of the Lama, and, of course, listening to the Dalai Lama give enlightening answers to somewhat stock questions.

    Very good, and with a beautiful landscape and score. I could never ask the Dalai Lama only 10 questions. The things the director asked...I already knew the answer to...so...my questions would be quite different.
    By watching this I learned things about Tibet and China that I ...( read more)didn't know. I would absolutely love to visit Tibet...spend time with its wonderful people and quiet monastaries.
    I have to agree on what the Dalai Lama said about where he wanted to be and what he wanted to do there...to be as a wounded animal, on its own in the wild, living in deep spirituality.

    The content of this film is outstanding. I have a few reservations about the fellow who made it, but otherwise I highly recommend it. This movie really made me think. It entertained me and taught me at the same time. Worth seeing on the big screen just for the spectacular landsca...( read more)pe shots of Tibet.

One comes away from 10 Questions emboldened, energized, and sadder -- aware that peace remains so radical a concept that most of us aren't yet worthy of it. full review
