The Dalai Lama’s Path — Live Photography Lecture by Manuel Bauer — Jona

The Jona lecture combines rare personal access with the discipline of long-form photojournalism, moving beyond a biographical talk to address Tibet, exile and compassion.

Swiss photojournalist Manuel Bauer has accompanied the Dalai Lama since 1990, including on more than 50 journeys. In this live illustrated lecture, he follows the story from Tibet and exile in India to refugee communities, Himalayan valleys and international appearances. The programme also considers Tibetan Buddhism, ritual, secular ethics, compassion and present-day political questions. Bauer’s sustained access gives the evening the perspective of a long-form photographic record rather than a general spiritual workshop. This Jona performance is presented in German by Explora Events AG.

At Kreuz, Bauer presents photographs and stories from Tibet, Himalayan valleys, refugee communities and the Dalai Lama’s international engagements. The illustrated lecture lasts 2 hours 15 minutes including an interval; doors open at 18:45.
