It was an exciting 10 days in Los Angeles, filming the Gaden Shartse Monastery Tour, and His Holiness the Dalai Lama at both the Long Beach Convention Center, and University of California at Irvine.
All the approvals, all the state department reviews, all the driving were worth this one moment of His Holiness coming on stage at UCI while the Gaden Monks provided an introduction purification ceremony. Look for more in the upcoming feature documentary “For All Sentient Beings”
The Bluedot team has been having a lot of fun working on some promotional films for the Gaden Shartse Monastic Tour; a fund raising and outreach program from the tibetan buddhist monastery located in the refugee area of southern India. The footage in this 7:00 introduction was collected from old archival pieces from the monastery, and when we toured with the monks to Aspen Colorado in 2008.
Enjoy!
