Description
"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." The daily life of the Dalai Lama is brought home with incredible intimacy in Sunrise/Sunset. We are granted total access to His Holiness for twenty four hours. This DVD depicts a day in the life of the Dalai Lama from when he rises at 3AM until his bedtime at dusk. Starting with his morning fitness routine and continuing on through the private audiences, press conferences, and blessings he imparts every day, it is a compassionate and comprehensive document of his everyday habits. Sunrise / Sunset covers a wide ranging interview including topics related to the essence of the Universe, the gap between rich and poor, and the role an individual has to play in religion and contemporary society.
