1 The DALAI LAMA: SCIENTIST A FILM BY DAWN ENGLE AND IVAN SUVANJIEFF PRESS KIT NOBEL LEGACY FILM SERIES 1
2 ABOUT HIS HOLINESS THE 14th DALAI LAMA In 1935, a little boy named Lhamo Thondub was born to a peasant family in Takstar, a small village in Tibet, high in the Himalayan Mountains. Lhamo had one older sister and three older brothers. Lhamo grew up as an ordinary Tibetan boy. He enjoyed ice skating in the winter and helping his mother around the farm. He would also often make believe that he was going on a trip to Lhasa, the capitol city of Tibet that was a several months journey from his home. His parents thought this was very strange because they were not sure how Lhamo even knew that Lhasa existed. The Dalia Lama, leader of one of the main branches of Tibetan Buddhism, and head of the Tibetan government, had died. Now this team was looking for his reincarnation, the young child in which the old Dalai Lama s soul had been reborn. In their dreams and visions the monks had seen a home with turquoise gutters -- just like Lhamo s house. They suspected that Lhamo was the reincarnation of the thirteenth Dalai Lama. But they had to test him first. They set several pairs of objects in front of the boy, such as eye glasses, canes, and prayer beads. One of each object had belonged to the thirteenth Dalai Lama and the other had not. When Lhamo chose the objects that belonged to the previous Dalai Lama the monks were convinced that they had found the next Dalai Lama. Lhamo was going to Lhasa after all. Lhamo and his family packed their bags and traveled to Lhasa where Lhamo began his studies with other monks. He learned about Tibetan art and culture, logic, and meditation in preparation to be the official leader of Tibet on his 21st birthday. Lhamo was taught to strive for compassion and sympathy for all living beings, without exception. In October 1950, when the Dalai Lama was just fifteen years old, 80,000 soldiers from China invaded Tibet. Thousands of Tibetan people were killed in the invasion. The people of Tibet needed a strong leader to stand up to the Chinese and to bring peace back to their country. They could not wait for the new Dalai Lama to turn 21. So at the age of fifteen, the boy who had been named Lhamo Thondup found himself the spiritual and political leader of over six million Tibetans. The Dalai Lama worked for nine long years to find a peaceful solution to the conflict with China. But the situation grew worse. On March 10, 1959, thousands of Tibetans demonstrated in Lhasa, demanding an independent Tibet. Chinese soldiers fired on the protesters and thousands of Tibetans were killed. Tibet was no longer safe for him and the Dalai Lama had to flee his country. The Dalai Lama traveled for many weeks over the Himalayas-- the highest mountains in the world into India. His parents and siblings went with him, as did many of his teachers and other Tibetan government officials. They made their way to Dharamsala, now known as Little Lhasa, where they set up the Tibetan Government in exile. The Dalai Lama started over 50 large settlements for Tibetan refugees in India and created a Tibetan school system to teach refugee children Tibetan language, history, religion, and culture. He founded several cultural institutes to preserve 2,000 years of Tibet s arts and sciences and helped reestablish more than 200 monasteries to keep Buddhist teachings alive. In 1989, on the 30th anniversary of China s invasion of Tibet, the Dalai Lama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to find a non-violent solution to the conflict with China. He continues to travel the globe speaking to world leaders and with ordinary people, spreading his message of peace and urging all people to live their lives with compassion for others and the earth. The Dalai Lama often says, I am just a simple Buddhist monk -- no more, no less. Living in a small cottage in Dharamsala, he rises at 4 AM each morning to meditate, attend meetings, and conduct religious teachings and ceremonies. He concludes each day with more prayers. The Dalai Lama has worked hard over the years to bring compassion and loving kindness to the world -- even to the Chinese government after all they have done to his people. For him, this is the only way to bring peace to Tibet and to the world. 2
3 SYNOPSIS For more than 30 years, I have spent much time with these Western Scientists. When I think about myself now, sometimes I think that I am only one-half Buddhist monk. The other half -- Scientist. Around the world, one of the most recognized leaders on our planet today is The Dalai Lama. Everyone knows him as a man of peace, a great Buddhist teacher, an advocate for humanity. The Dalai Lama: Scientist tells the story of the man you do not know; the Dalai Lama that very few people have seen. For the past thirty-five years, The Dalai Lama has been engaged in an ongoing series of dialogues with groups of Scientists. Organized in part by the Mind & Life Institute, they have covered subjects ranging from quantum physics and cosmology to compassion and destructive emotions. The Dalai Lama: Scientist immerses the viewer into these profound dialogues; explores the correlations between science and Buddhism; and shares personal life experiences from The Dalai Lama that have had a deep impact on his development as a truly one-of-a-kind world leader. As The Dalai Lama says, while Scientific findings offer a deeper understanding of such fields of knowledge as cosmology, it seems that Buddhist explanations can sometimes give Scientists a new way to look into their own field of study. 3
