This one time only screening, joins the ongoing series at IBFF’s home venue, the Smith Rafael Film Center.

Wisdom of Happiness is an unforgettable meditative experience for today that not only unlocks a door to genuine, lasting happiness, but also reveals that each and every one of Earth’s eight billion beings holds their very own key to it in the palms of their hands. While happiness is born in each of us, only the cultivation of unconditional compassion for one another will transform the world.

In what is likely to be the last great filmed testimony of the 14th Dalai Lama, this film captures him speaking through the camera directly to viewers, creating a sense of a private audience.
