His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama and 7 Years in Tibet

I for the first time today watched Seven years in Tibet (IMDB) - I know, I know, late or what considering the movie is over a decade old, but I remember trying many years ago with seeing this movie and Brad Pitts poor acting and extremely dodgy and ever evolving accent put me right off the sense. This outing I managed to put that to one side and concentrate on the story of the young Dalai Lama which I found was nothing short of amazing.

I have read a lot of material about Tibet and the Dalai Lama but it was quite sensational to see many things that I have read acted out in such away. Buddhism and in particular the Dalai Lama's words mean a lot to me, they have helped a lot in recent times and to get this kind of insight helps bring me closer to understanding what an incredible human being the Dalai Lama is.

I'll leave you with this quote ...
