Buddha House will celebrate the Dalai Lama's birthday with a screening of the new documentary from Victress Hitchcock "When The Iron Bird Flies - Tibetan Buddhism Arrives in The West". This inspirational documentary includes some wonderful old footage of Lama Yeshe, Lama Zopa Rinpoche, and the early days of Kopan Monastery.

Buddha House will participate in the Australian screening tour of ‘When the Iron Bird Flies’, a film Inspired by the intriguing prediction of the 8th century sage, Padmasambhava.

'When the iron bird flies and horses run on wheels, the Tibetan people will be scattered like ants across the face of the earth.'

 I invite you to be a part of this timely exploration of how Tibetan Buddhism has spread from the seclusion and isolation of Tibet to reach out and enrich the lives of many in the West.
