EnglishHow to Watch Live Webcasts and Videos of the Dalai Lama on dalailama.com
Updated
To watch live webcasts or recorded videos of the Dalai Lama, go to dalailama.com and use the LIVE Webcasts and Videos entries in the site's top navigation. The site identifies itself as the official website of The Office of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. For upcoming events, check the Schedule section first, then return to the webcast page at the listed time.
Where the viewing options sit on the site
The site's navigation groups the main media and scheduling pages together. Based on the site's menu, the relevant entries are:
| Menu entry | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Schedule | Upcoming and recent engagements, useful for knowing when an event is due to take place |
| LIVE Webcasts | The entry point for live streaming of events |
| Videos | Recorded video material, including event footage |
| In Pictures | Photo coverage of events, useful when no video is available |
The homepage also carries a Latest News feed. Event reports there often describe what took place and link to related photos or video, so it is a practical second route to footage of a specific event.
A practical way to catch a live event
- Open dalailama.com.
- Select Schedule and find the event you want to watch. Note the date and location, since teachings and public audiences are usually listed with their venue (commonly in Dharamsala, India).
- On the day of the event, open LIVE Webcasts from the menu. If a stream is running, it appears on that page.
- If you miss the live stream, open Videos or the Latest News item for that event to find recorded coverage.
For example, if you want to follow a scheduled public teaching, the Schedule page tells you when it happens, and the webcast page is where you go at that time. The site does not publish a separate streaming platform in the material available, so treat the site's own pages as the primary destination.
What to expect and common snags
- Timing follows the event, not the site. A webcast page may be empty outside broadcast hours. If nothing plays, check the Schedule for the correct date and local start time.
- Time zones matter. Events are listed with their location, usually in India. Convert to your own time before waiting on a stream.
- Not every event is streamed. Some engagements are covered only through news reports or the In Pictures gallery. If no video appears after an event, the photo gallery and news item are the likely record.
- Language. The site is in English and includes a language menu; the available material is presented in English.
Related pages worth knowing
The menu also includes Teachings, with sub-pages such as Practical Advice for Attending the Teachings in India and Training the Mind. These are useful if you plan to attend an event in person rather than watch online. Messages, News, and Articles, Transcripts and Interviews provide text versions of addresses and interviews when video is not available.
