WHAT WE DO - Seva Shows

Seva Canada has developed four multimedia shows (three for general audiences and one specifically for children) which are used to raise awareness of Seva’s work and to raise funds for Seva’s sight projects.

The Three Questions:

The Three Questions, a multimedia show presented and adapted by Paula Ford and illustrated by Jacqueline Wang, is based on Leo Tolstoy’s story of kindness and compassion.

Aimed at children in Grades 1 through 5, it tells the story of a young, thoughtful prince who must find the answers to three fundamental questions:

• What is the most important time?
• Who is the most important person?
• What is the most important thing to do?

Saving Sight on the Roof of the World: Eye Camps in Tibet

In the summer of 2007, Seva Canada board member, Susan Erdmann, spent three months in Tibet at her own expense. Susan photographed two mobile eye camps in a remote area of eastern Tibet and has created a moving and beautiful 20-minute slide show on Seva's there. Susan is happy to present it to groups. Please contact 604-713-6622 for more information.

Beauty and Transformation:

Beauty and Transformation is the most recent multimedia show for Seva by photographer Brian Harris. Brian traveled to India in early 2005 photographing in Chitrakoot in the north central plains, West Bengal and Ladakh. This 90-minute show presents over 500 still photographs, video footage, music and environmental sound recordings.

Himalayan Visions & Tibetan Voices:

This incredibly successful multimedia show by acclaimed photographer Brian Harris was the culmination of 15 years of documenting Himalayan Buddhist culture. Himalayan Visions & Tibetan Voices is a 90-minute digital multimedia show consisting of over 225 of Brian Harris's award-winning images and photographs of Seva's sight restoration work in Asia.

Within this show, the audience is taken on a journey of the heart into another culture and beyond, into a world of compassion, humanity and service. Accompanying the compelling images are specially composed music, environmental sounds, sacred music and prayer, recorded narration by Zasep Tulku Rinpoche and Harris's live commentary.
