Spirit of Tibet
There are times in life when asking sincerely for direction in a severely directionless world gets amazing answers in form of so-called coincidences. All we need is to open our hearts and inner eyes to see miracles happen and to understand them as gifts to … pass on.
“Spirit of Tibet” is a unique, sensitive and inspirational portrait by French Photographer Matthieu Ricard spanning the life, death and rebirth of one of Tibet’s most respected 20th Century teachers and meditation masters: Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche (1920-1991). As one of his students, His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama candidly and humorously shares his own spiritual views and values and it is wonderful to see this mirrored by a whole nation, old and especially young. This is today’s Tibet, bending only to its Spirituality… to Peace, to Tolerance and to respecting the Environment.
This gem of a DVD – superbly narrated by Richard Gere – was just one of the current ‘coincidences’ that re-confirmed a deep feeling of Wholeness within me; may it do the same for you.
Spirit of Tibet – the DVD
“Spirit of Tibet” – the DVD is in itself a meditation of fascinating images captured by someone who had rare insights and where you feel the closeness and love for every detail, each moment, each sound… the light, the depth, the symbol, the laughter… filmed in remote areas like Bhutan, Tibet and Nepal – where I had the chance to spend some time in the mid-eighties, a time that seems unreal … and yet it comes alive in this precious movie, this catalyst; we ourselves are the transformers.
One doesn’t need to be a Buddhist to appreciate true Values.
One doesn’t need to believe in Reincarnation to care for our Environment and what we leave for future generations, however, imagine more people would! IMAGINE. . .
The fact is, so many want to change the world instead of looking inside and starting right there: “Unless the inner forces of negative emotions are conquered, strife with outer enemies will never end.”
“Spirit of Tibet” took 10 years to make… how long will it take us to transform ourselves and live according to the basic principles of its contents?
