Dharamshala: His Holiness the Dalai Lama has consented to support the international media project, “Stories of Faith”.
The project will bring out a variety of films and books about the five major world religions in order to promote mutual tolerance amongst the different world religions.
The project was initiated by German film producers, who conceived and developed the concept of five large-format feature films on Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist and Hindu encounters as well as a full length feature film.
The 100 million dollar project, which will be produced in Ireland, aims to promote inter-religious understanding and tolerance.
The Stories of Faith project is to commence in spring 2007. Films and books will be released from 2009 onwards.
