“Sometimes people call me a Living Buddha or a God King, but I always say this is nonsense. I am a simple Buddhist monk.” From sunrise to sunset, immerse yourself in a day in the life of the Dalai Lamai. Granted total access for 24 hours, this intimate film follows the Tibetan spiritual leader and Nobel laureate in his daily routine, from when he wakes up at 3am through to his morning exercise routine and daily blessings. With his duties complete, His Holiness sits down with filmmaker Vitali Manski for a wide-ranging interview that illuminates his thoughts on the essence of the universe, the gap between rich and poor, and the role we as individuals can play in religion and contemporary society.

The film will be available for 48 hours from when you start the stream. Please note streaming is only possible from inside Canada. For additional assistance, visit our FAQ page or email us at streamingsupport@hotdocs.ca.
