A fairly intimate one on one with the Dalai Lama.

The Dalai Lama's messages about peace and love are admirable, but this mishandled documentary presents those messages as a rambling, extremely repetitive Dalai Lama monologue, with many visual images that belong in an infomercial.

He says all respond to “warmheartedness”and love. The time is right given the stressors of the world which he acknowledges but does not name. Highly recommended.

3/5

It is a film that, more than a portrait, aims to be a self-help manual for facing the uncertainties and challenges of the 21st century with optimism and hope. [Full review in Spanish]

Deeply spiritual but extremely practical, this man is a gifted teacher and spiritual leader. I would like to watch this movie at least once a week.

This was a powerful movie in its simplicity. If you want to know more about the Dalai Lama this is the movie for you. It is very well done in presenting the Dalai Lamas message of compassion for our fellow man. It was indeed a heart-to-heart talk.
