The Power of Grace: A Tribute to Ram Dass
Krishna Das says, “If we know anything about a path at all, it’s only because of the great ones that have gone before us. Out of their love and kindness, they have left some footprints to follow.” In this talk and special musical performance, available to all, Krishna Das pays tribute to one of the great ones from our own era, Ram Dass, a seminal figure in the modern consciousness movement, sparking spiritual journeys for many with his generation-defining book, Be Here Now. Ram Dass is also the subject of the newest film at the Tricycle | BuddhaFest Online Film Festival, Ram Dass: Fierce Grace, which started yesterday.

Tricycle Talk: Victress Hitchcock, Director of When the Iron Bird Flies
This year's Tricycle | Buddhafest Online Film Festival features two films by wonderwoman director Victress Hitchcock: Blessings: The Tsoknyi Nangchen Nuns of Tibet and When the Iron Bird Flies. The first opened the film festival by highlighting the practice of the Nangchen nuns within the largely male-dominated history of Buddhism in Tibet. With When the Iron Bird Flies, Hitchcock expands her lens, following the journey of Tibetan Buddhism from its past seclusion in the Land of Snows to its current (almost) mainstream status in the West, focusing especially on the effects of the Dalai Lama's escape from Tibet in 1959.
