We finally rejoice with him as his freedom and tireless teaching from his American base enable him to share his extraordinary loving wisdom with people all over the world. It is a huge blessing just to see the existence of such a great being, and this lovely film shares that with us. It is what the Tibetans call a tongdrol, something that liberates just by being seen!” —Dr. Robert Thurman $15, tickets available online now from the SIFF box office online.
