À propos de cet audio
The world of the 14th Dalai Lama has been alive with major developments and vibrant public appearances over the past few days. Most notably, legendary actor Richard Gere just unveiled his highly anticipated documentary titled Wisdom of Happiness, a hybrid film that immerses viewers in the Dalai Lama’s teachings on inner peace and resilience in the chaos of the modern world. This celebratory piece, due for release across North American theaters on October 17 and streaming on platforms like Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video, also marks the Dalai Lama’s landmark 90th birthday earlier this year. According to Richard Gere, the film not only spotlights the Dalai Lama’s extraordinary journey — including exile after the Chinese invasion of Tibet in 1959 — but aspires to inspire audiences with the spiritual leader’s timeless message of authentic compassion and wisdom. Gere captured attention during his recent appearance on the TODAY show, emphasizing the project's transformative hopes for a global audience, and the documentary has already seen successful screenings in New York City, drawing both public and critical applause.
Moving to the Dalai Lama’s own recent activities, he remains front and center in his Himalayan base. Just days ago, on October 16, the Dalai Lama granted a packed public audience at his residence in Dharamsala, where he was serenaded with a heartfelt song of praise from devotees hailing all the way from Bhutan. Hundreds dressed in traditional attire lined up for his blessings, and a group of Bhutanese artists composed a new traditional song to honor the encounter. This was actually his third such public engagement this month: earlier, on October 4, he delivered religious teachings to Taiwanese and other international followers; on October 8, he accepted a long-life prayer from a coalition of Tibetan groups from Australia and Europe, confirming ongoing robust global reverence for his leadership.
Beyond the spiritual sphere, the Dalai Lama’s influence continues to permeate contemporary culture and technology. Threads, the fast-growing social media platform, just made headlines by confirming the Dalai Lama as one of its celebrity early adopters, alongside the likes of Kim Kardashian. While the Dalai Lama himself tends to keep his messages focused on compassion and mindfulness rather than trending topics, his presence signals his enduring influence across cultural divides and media landscapes.
Meanwhile, Tibetan settlements continue to honor His Holiness with acts of compassion — this week, the Kamrao settlement celebrated the ongoing Year of Compassion with a bird release, symbolically marking his 90th birthday and ongoing inspiration within the Tibetan exile community.
No major health news or political controversies have emerged in the past 24 hours. For now, the focus remains firmly on his spiritual outreach, the celebratory tone of recent events, and the surging anticipation around the new documentary.
