The Path of the Dalai Lama with Photographer Manuel Bauer

A live photographic talk about Tibet, Tibetan Buddhism and compassion, drawn from Manuel Bauer’s decades accompanying the Dalai Lama.

Why it caught our eye

Bauer’s sustained access gives the images a personal thread. The talk places private moments beside the wider history and ideas that shape them.

About this experience

See public journeys and quieter moments through the eyes of someone who has photographed the Dalai Lama since 1990. Manuel Bauer brings images and personal accounts together to explore Tibetan history, life in exile and the Dalai Lama’s messages about compassion and peace.

What you can expect

Follow stories of the flight from Tibet to India, visits to refugee communities and encounters around the world. Photographs also offer glimpses of private meditation and Tibetan Buddhist rituals. Bauer presents the talk live; the Dalai Lama is its subject, not an advertised participant.

The show takes place at the Verkehrshaus Filmtheater. Ticket categories include reduced-price seating, regular seating and best seats; the listed prices include 10% ticket tax.
