As part of the Vesak 2025 celebrations organized by the Italian Buddhist Union in honor of the Dalai Lama's 90th birthday, the film Wisdom of Happiness will be screened for the first time in Italy.

The screening will be followed by a special conversation featuring producer Richard Gere and the Dalai Lama’s sister, Jetsun Pema, moderated by Piero Verni, author of the soon-to-be-released updated biography The Smile and the Wisdom.
