Director Martin Scorsese, writer Melissa Mathison and her then husband Harrison Ford were added to the list of over 50 people banned from entering Tibet because of this film.
The Dalai Lama and his family were portrayed by actual relatives of the Dalai Lama himself, now living in refugee in Dharamsala as well as abroad. Tenzin Thuthob Tsarong who played the adult Dalai Lama is his grand nephew.
Filming in Tibet was not possible; Morocco was used instead.
Martin Scorsese dedicated this film to his mother Catherine Scorsese who had died during the pre-production of this film, because "the Dalai Lama represents unconditional love, and to me my mother was the closest person with that kind of love".
Cinematographer Roger Deakins believed that Martin Scorsese hired him for the documentary experience; given that they were working with a cast of non-actors, he had the ability to naturally sense when the scenes would be properly executed when the actors finished a take.
"Indian: Are you the Lord Buddha? Dalai Lama: I believe I am a reflection, like the moon on water. When you see me, and I try to be a good man, you see yourself."
"Dalai Lama: I see a safe journey, I see a safe return."
