SUNRISE/SUNSET a film

SUNRISE/SUNSET

A wonderful documentary which gives audiences the rare opportunity to experience 24 hours in the life of His Holiness the 14TH Dalai Lama.

Directed by Russian filmmaker Vitali Manski, the film follows His Holiness the Dalai Lama at his residence in Dharamsala, India, from his early morning prayers at three in the morning to his bedtime at dusk.

The exiled spiritual leader of the Tibetan people has said of himself: “Sometimes people call me a living Buddha or a God King, but I always say this is nonsense. I am a simple Buddhist monk. Through this film you will realize, I am a normal human being, nothing special. Just a normal Buddhist monk.”

Featuring an introduction by Lynn Bain – Director of Dalai In Australia Ltd, plus a talk and slide show by Mr Tenzin Norbu, Director of the Environment Desk, Tibetan Government-in-exile, India.
