The Dalai Lama's Gift

Captured on film, then locked away in Smithsonian vaults for over forty years, this long-lost footage resurfaces to reveal a story of transformation to buddhahood, and a moment when time, space and a sacred initiation converged in the unlikeliest of places. This story of the 1981 Kalachakra is told through the voices of distinguished scholars and the initiates who participated in the event, and through personal interviews with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, filmed in 1981 throughout the preparation and the ceremony. We invite you to learn more at DalaiLamaGift.org and to support this project.

Directed and produced by Edward Bastian with co-producer Sharpa Tulku. Music by Nawang Khechog and Kalachakra Guide/Losang Samten. Executive production by Catherine Wyler with co-producer and editor Jennifer Bemen.
