Four years in the making, this film was hailed as a cinematic masterpiece following its release in 1979. Unseen for over 20 years, this new release has been digitally re-mastered with new material and a new commentary. Part 1 of the film is an intimate portrait of the Dalai Lama as a spiritual and temporal leader. Part 2 journeys deep into the mystical inner world of monastic life and presents an authentic revelation of tantric Buddhism, with commentaries by the great 20th century master Dudjom Rinpoche. Part 3, photographed in the awesome landscapes of Ladakh, is a meditation on impermanence and the depiction of the monastery's moving ritual response to a death in the community.
