Compassion in Emptiness (DVD)

Each year, His Holiness the Dalai Lama travels the world offering teachings and public talks to individuals from many different faiths and backgrounds. In 2010, His Holiness traveled to New York City to teach A Commentary on Bodhicitta by Nagarjuna and A Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life by Shantideva.

Following the teachings, His Holiness the Dalai Lama went on to address a sold-out crowd at Radio City Music Hall with Awakening the Heart of Selflessness, a public talk followed by a candid question and answer session. In this talk, His Holiness discusses ways in which one can achieve the realization of selflessness and ultimately achieve inner peace, which in turn generates a genuine sense of responsibility for the happiness of others and eventually creates a more compassionate world for everyone.

Hosted by The Gere Foundation and The Tibet Center and brought to you by Oscilloscope Laboratories, Compassion In Emptiness presents two historic records of one of the world’s most important spiritual leaders and his unique message of wisdom and compassion.
