WISDOM OF HAPPINESS is a touching, cinematic portrait of the Dalai Lama's world of thought for our times. In one of his last appearances on the big screen, the tireless ambassador of compassion addresses the audience directly and takes them on a journey to the source of happiness.

After a long and eventful life caught between millennia-old Tibetan Buddhist traditions and Western, globalized society, the Dalai Lama looks at today's modern world with its technological and social achievements, struggling to end violence and war on the brink of imminent climate collapse.

With his experiences, his alert mind and his humor, the soon-to-be 90-year-old outlines paths to a hopeful and contented life and inspires us to go beyond personal development and contribute to a peaceful, ecologically meaningful future for our planet: Happiness begins with unconditional compassion and is in our hands.
