Description

It is not all sweetness and honey however as tensions soar high when Tibetan monks hold demonstrations to cancel the New Year holidays in protest at recent Chinese atrocities in Tibet. For Tibetans in exile in India, the days are spent maintaining the Buddhist culture while praying for the family they left behind in Tibet. One of the most recent and well known refugees His Holiness the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa offers us guidance on keeping a family together and on his close relationship with His Holiness 14th Dalai Lama. The most remarkable interviews are with Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo, a leading Buddhist nun who was herself the subject of the award winning book, A Cave in the Snow. Her insight into the 'quick-fix' society we live in, will hit you like a baseball bat.

Filmed on location in some of the largest Tibetan monasteries, you will witness close up, some very intense and stirring prayers and Buddhist chants that serve as an emotional soundtrack. The backdrop are the Himalaya mountains and the photography, filmed in HD, is stunning. English language and Tibetan with English sub titles. Directed by Jon Braeley. Run time length is 95 minutes.
