"The Comedy sensation of the summer is coming soon to a theater near you and the latest laughers from Ben Stiller, Anna Faris or Brad Pitt can't even begin to hold a candle to it. The movie's star? The Dalai Lama."
"I can't remember the last time a movie made me laugh so hard."

- Stan Robinson - Screen Scene/Arizona Weekly (review)
***
"Dalai Lama Renaissance is an interesting portrayal of human ego pitted against compassion and altruism, exemplifying the very essence of the issues facing the world today."
