It is an intimate and unique documentary in which the Dalai Lama speaks directly to the camera about what he calls the source of happiness – inner peace, and shares practical wisdom for dealing with the challenges of this century and the controversy surrounding the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama. The documentary also shows the Dalai Lamas early life, including rare archival material documenting his journey as Tenzin Gyatso.

American actor Richard Gere, a long-time follower of the Dalai Lama, served as executive producer and said it was a blessing to be involved in this documentary about love and compassion. With the support of private Swiss funds, Wisdom of Happiness was shot by photographer Manuel Bauer. Austrian sales company Autlook Filmsales is responsible for global sales. The film premiered at the Zurich Film Festival in October 2024 and was selected for the Dharamshala International Film Festival in India and the DocPoint Documentary Film Festival in Helsinki, Finland.
