“The experience in India was really good and so I appreciate it,” Ösel says. “It was hard being treated differently and feeling apart. Now I am very grateful for the very difficult decision that many people made for me, because thanks to that I have a big opportunity today to help many people. I’m always going to be available and at the service of people – that’s my job.”
Ösel apprenticed under Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Matteo Passigato in Bologna, Italy, for two years. Then, Ösel moved back to Spain to study film. He spent two years at the NIC school in Madrid getting his director of cinema diploma followed by another year for director of photography. After that he did a Masters in Documentary Films at EIMA, International School for Audio Visual Media which took one more year.
In 2012, Ösel and Matteo co-directed his first short film, Being Your True Nature, filmed during the 2011 FPMT Universal Wisdom Education gathering in the south of France. Being Your True Nature introduces a new form of education pioneered by Lama Yeshe — “Universal Wisdom Education”. The purpose is to help modern people access ancient psychological tools to help them lead happier, more meaningful lives — “the language that speaks to universal human experience at its simplest and most profound,” says Ösel. |

“We are all a family, and we are brothers and sisters,” says Ösel. “You are your own best friend. Don't be hard on yourself. Be easy-going. Love yourself. Take care of yourself. Enjoy your own company without depending on external agents like intoxicants. Be present and don't be unsatisfied, because the main cause of unsatisfaction means you are not living the moment. So live the moment, this moment. It is always the same moment. Okay?”
