Dalai Lama Renaissance” is an 80 minute documentary film about forty of the world’s most innovative thinkers who travel to India in the Himalayan Mountains to meet with the Dalai Lama to solve many of the world’s problems. What happened was surprising and unexpected.

Narrated by actor Harrison Ford, the film also features Quantum Physicists Fred Alan Wolf and Amit Gowami from “What the Bleep Do We Know,” and Michel Beckwith and Fred Alan Wolf from “the Secret,” Social Scientist Jean Houston, and New Thought minister Harry Morgan Moses. The film also includes other New Thought authors and thinkers who were also a part of these "Synthesis Dialogs" with the Dalai Lama.
