Editorial Review:
In 2007, His Holiness the Dalai Lama appeared to a sold-out crowd at Radio City Music Hall to discuss the ways that individuals can best cultivate virtuous qualities within themselves to bring about peace and prosperity in today's world. National Geographic filmed this public talk imbued with the basic tenets of Buddhism and with an introduction by Richard Gere. In his address, His Holiness the Dalai Lama further expands upon his desire to promote religious harmony and tolerance among all the countries and peoples of the world. The film includes a question and answer session with candid responses from His Holiness on such topics as achieving inner peace in the chaotic environs of New York City, the difficulty of converting the practice of patience from a theoretical teaching to an everyday reality and the challenges of remaining hopeful in a violent world.
His Holiness the Dalai Lama: Peace and Prosperity offers insight for those seeking peace and inner harmony in their everyday lives and is a unique record of the message of this important spiritual leader.
His Holiness the Dalai Lama Speaks: Peace and Prosperity Reviews:
The Dalai Lama Speaks 
2009-09-16 - A powerful DVD that suggests the incredible presence that his Holiness brings to live appearances. The bonus material from Richard Gere and Nicholas Vreeland is also wonderful.
2007 lecture with excellent audio, video, and subtitles
2009-03-16 - This is a 103-minute video recording of the Dalai Lama giving a lecture in 2007. He speaks in his own voice, and you can select Engish subtitles to grasp fully his English, which is sometimes difficult to understand. I think this is a consideration when selecting a DVD with the Dalai Lama lecturing. The audio is in Dolby Digital 2.0, and the video, which appeared to be shot in HD, is enhanced for widescreen TVs (1.33:1 ratio). He speaks about how inner peace and compassion can lead to prosperity and peace in the world. His words from 2007 foreshadow the current economic downturn. He does wear an eye shade to shield his eyes from the bright stage lights, but you can see his eyes, which well up from time to time as he speaks. He responds to 6 questions at the end. There is a bonus section with short commentaries from Richard Gere and Nicholas Vreeland and other items.
