The Story of the 14th Dalai Lama
Compassion In Exile is an intimate portrait of Tenzin Gyatso, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet. Inherent in the life story of this Nobel Peace Prize laureate is the saga of the suffering of the Tibetan people under Chinese occupation.

For over forty years the Dalai Lama has waged a non-violent struggle in exile to bring attention to the plight of his people and save their unique culture and religion. He is the embodiment of the ideal of his Buddhist heritage and practice, and his life story is an inspiring lesson in compassion and peace.

For this film, the Dalai Lama personally granted director Mickey Lemle unprecedented access and cooperation. With candor and humor, he describes his upbringing and key moments in his life, detailing historic events including his becoming head of state at the age of sixteen, journeying to Beijing at nineteen to confront Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai, and fleeing to India at twenty.

Using historic and some never-before-seen footage, his remarkable story is also remembered by the people closest to him, including his older brother, his sister, and Heinrich Harrer (his childhood tutor and the author of Seven Years In Tibet). Tibetan exiles are interviewed for direct testimony about conditions in Tibet under the Chinese, and the Dalai Lama himself voices his concerns for Tibet, his lack of hatred of the Chinese, and his hopes for a peaceful future.

Produced by Lemle Pictures, Inc. in association with Central Productions Ltd., UK

  • 中国人民对领土分裂分子一贯是同仇敌忾,无论哪个政党当政,都会­对分裂分子毫不手软!在美国人眼里,本拉登是恐怖分子;在中国人­眼里,这个和尚就和本拉登一个级别。美国人就喜欢做两面派,早晚­会点火自焚、搬起石头砸自己的脚。哪一天这些分裂分子展开对西方­的圣战,你就知道这个人的真正面目了。

  • be a terrorist to attract world's attention;to incite Tibetan people to kill Han people in China so that China has to send army there and then we see those pics;be a poor instrument used by U.S and other western countries as anti-China political diplomacy; be a feudalism advocator while declaring he fights for freedom;be a holy religious leader, a great thinker, and a enlightened philosopher...THIS IS THE REAL AND TRUE Dalai Lama. I stand neutral, coz no one is perfect. Machinations is a must..

  • Great footage. I'd love to have a copy of this documentary. Will the Tibetans every have their country back? Honestly, I doubt. It is sad to see that the Tibetans has "no home" but the Tibetan Buddhism has found homes in many hearts throughout the world within a span of 50 years.

Tibetans are not chinese....is another culture,language and so on......go way with your propaganda ............stop violence,lies......

  • To All That It May Concern: Please perform Long Life Offerings and Mantras for His Holiness the Dalai Lama, as he is currently suffering from exhaustion.

    "In That Pure Land Surrounded By Snowy Mountains, You Are The Source Of All Benefit And Happiness. All-Powerful Avalokiteshvara, Tenzin Gyatso, May You Stay Until Samsara's End"

    Tibetan:

    "Gong Rira Way Kor Way Shing Kam Dare, Pen Dong Day Wama Loo Joong Way Nay Chenrezig wong Tenzin Gyatso yi, Shop Baysee Tay Bardu Dengyur Cheek"

    Best Wishes
