E. Gene Smith was the founder of the Ti betan Buddhist Resource Center (TBRC) and a pioneer in Tibetan Studies who dedicated his life to finding, preserving and disseminating the rich literary heritage of Tibet. An evening of remembrance on December 15th will begin with an intimate commemoration from TBRC followed by a private preview screening by Lunchbox Communications of the feature-length HD documentary about Gene's life's work. Digital Dharma uncovers Gene's epic 50-year journey with renowned scholars, lamas and laypeople as they struggle to find, preserve and digitize more than 20,000 volumes of ancient Ti betan text. Crossing multiple borders - geographic, olitical and philosophical - Digital Dharma is an epic story f a cultural rescue and how one man's mission became the catalyst for an international movement to provide free access to the story of a people.
