The event marks one of the first Tour Stops on the Compassion Rising World Tour — a global movement launched by the International Campaign for Tibet to celebrate the Dalai Lama’s 90th birthday. In celebration of the occasion, the Central Tibetan Administration has declared 2025 the Year of Compassion.
The Compassion Rising campaign seeks to ignite a worldwide wave of compassion, courage and conscience, inviting individuals, communities and partners worldwide to create a series of tour stops that embody the Dalai Lama’s enduring vision of a more compassionate world.
This screening of Kundun, marks a special place in the hearts of Tibetans. The film will be introduced by Mr. Scorsese. The Tibetan community is gathering to join this special screening with joy and festivities.
“As the Dalai Lama approaches his 90th birthday, we are not just celebrating a life — we are celebrating a force of compassion that has touched every corner of the world. His message is a call to awaken the best in humanity: courage without anger, strength without violence, and love without limits. This global tribute is our collective effort to carry that light forward.” said Tencho Gyatso, President of the International Campaign for Tibet.
