Rehoboth Beach Film Society will screen “10 Questions for the Dalai Lama” at 7 p.m., Thursday, March 27, in the upstairs screening room at the Movies at Midway.
Against the backdrop of an exotic land, filmmaker Rick Ray is granted one hour to ask 10 questions of the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet. This is the Dalai Lama’s story, as told and filmed by Ray during a private visit to his monastery in Dharamsala, India. The film contains rare historical footage as well as footage supplied by individuals who, at great personal risk, filmed with hidden cameras within Tibet.
The result is a story woven between a journeyman’s personal observations, the troubled history of a government-in-exile, and the life and wisdom of one of the premiere spiritual leaders of our time. [2006, Runtime: 85 min., Not rated, but recommended for mature audiences]
Dr. Joerg Tuske, professor of philosophy at Salisbury University, will lead a discussion following the screening. Tuske specializes in Indian philosophy and has studied in India for several years. Tuske has also spent time in Dharamsala and Tibet.
Monthly screenings are free for card-carrying film society members.
A suggested donation of $3 is requested from nonmembers to help cover film rental fees.
