Thank you for your interest in "Dalai Lama Renaissance."   * PROFITS FROM "DALAI LAMA RENAISSANCE" WILL SUPPORT THE PRESERVATION OF TIBETAN CULTURE We are deeply concerned about the troubling situation in Tibet, which is a result of the deep frustration, unhappiness and desperation of the Tibetan People, fundamentally caused by the Chinese government systematically importing millions of Chinese immigrants into Tibet, and implementing laws and policies that minimize and repress Tibetan language, arts and culture in favor of implementing Chinese language and culture. The Chinese Government's intention is to overwhelm Tibetan culture in Tibet with Chinese culture. We agree with the Dalai Lama that these Chinese Government policies amount to a Cultural Genocide of the Tibetan People and culture. We know that people want a way to help and do something positive for the Tibetan People and Culture. We want to take positive steps to compassionately counteract the genocide of Tibetan culture in Tibet. The filmmakers of "Dalai Lama Renaissance" want to do our part in taking positive steps to help preserve and save Tibetan Culture, arts, and Tibetan Buddhism, all of which have benefited and enriched the world. Thirty-three percent (33%)  of all of the net profits from DVD sales of "Dalai Lama Renaissance" will be given to the Tibetan organization of the Dalai Lama's choice, such as two Tibetan organizations that were established by the Dalai Lama to help preserve Tibetan arts and culture: 1) the Norbulingka Institute ( http://www.norbulingka.org and http://www.tibet.org/norling ), and 2) the Tibetan Institute for Performing Arts (TIPA) ( http://www.tibetanarts.org/index.html ). "Dalai Lama Renaissance" was filmed at the Norbulingka Institute, and includes dance and music from the Tibetan Institute for Performing Arts, and it feels special to us that we can give back to help support the Dalai Lama and Tibetan culture and show our support. By purchasing the DVD of "Dalai Lama Renaissance," not only will you be able to watch and share a film with your friends that has inspired and moved audiences around the world, but you will also be helping to preserve Tibetan Arts and culture, which is being assaulted by Chinese Government policies.  Khashyar Darvich; Producer-Director; "Dalai Lama Renaissance"
