This special dramatic presentation was inspired by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso and his teachings, and visually captures the essence of Buddha Shakyamuni's life. Based on the twelve principal deeds of Buddha, it reveals in a clear, entertaining and moving way the essential characteristics of a spiritual life.
It was performed over various years by Kadampa Buddhist students at the NKT-IKBU International Summer Festival in the Kadampa World Peace Temple at Manjushri KMC, UK. This screening also features a recording of a talk by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso at the Kadampa World Peace Temple, England.
"We should not think that Buddha helps only those who follow him. Buddha attained enlightenment to benefit all living beings. He manifests in many different forms, sometimes even as non-Buddhist teachers, to help others. There is no living being who has not benefited from the kindness of Buddha."
- Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche -
