Victor Chan His Holiness, The Dalai Lama

Stories of Remarkable Encounters and Timeless Insights

From small interactions with a sick child to a lofty philosophical discussion with a preeminent group of global thinkers, the Dalai Lama approaches the world with delight, hope, and compassion. The unprecedented access of Victor Chan gives an intimate view of His Holiness and the tools and insights that he utilizes to achieve more forgiveness, understanding, and peace.
Victor Chan has travelled the world with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, witnessing innumerable intimate moments and remarkable revelations with the spiritual leader. Untitled on Buddhism is a private look at how the Dalai Lama turns his personal compassion into concrete expression as he interacts with old friends and fellow Nobel Prize winners to school children and survivors of violence. This is the Dalai Lama at his most human, and most humane – a portrait of both a man who is sometimes confused, frustrated, tired, and a spiritual leader who provides inspiration for thousands across the globe.

The unprecedented access of Untitled on Buddhism gives an intimate view of His Holiness and the tools and insights that he utilizes to achieve more compassion, understanding, and peace. No one is too anonymous, lowly, and unimportant for his notice. No one is too untouchable, rich, or famous to not feel humbled in his presence. Everyone can be touched, taught, and moved by these conversations with the Dalai Lama.
