Synopsis:
CLICK TO VIEW THE TRAILER
PAL UK/European format. A reissue of this seminal trilogy of films on Tibet all on one DVD. Four years in the making Tibet: a Buddhist Trilogy played to international acclaim following its release in 1979. Now digitally remastered, it includes additional materials and a new commentary. Hailed as a masterpiece, the trilogy brings you face to face with the unbroken continuity of Tibet's ancient culture. In 1977, when the film was made, the Tibetan way of life was still resonant with its ancient past and the Dalai Lama relatively unknown on the world stage. From a portrait of the Dalai Lama to an unprecedented revelation of the mystical world of monastic life this film takes you on an intimate journey deep into the heart of an ancient Buddhist culture.
Part One: The Dalai Lama, the Monasteries and the People is filmed in the Dalai Lama's residence in Dharamsala and in Sera monastery and explores the ways in which the inner knowledge of Tibetan Buddhist culture is developed and refined and communicated out to the lay community. Part Two: Radiating the Fruit of the Truth reveals the essence of the mystical philosophy of Tibetan Buddhism. The film follows the lamas of the Sakya monastery in Boudha, Nepal as they prepare to perform an ancient protective ritual associated with Tara known as a "Beautiful Ornament". Part Three: The Field of the Senses is set in the majestic mountain landscape of Ladakh. It follows the monks and farmers through a day, ending with an unflinching depiction of the monastery's moving ritual response to a death in the community. As in the Tibetan Book of the Dead, the departed is guided through the dream-like intermediate state between death and birth. Commentary read by Thubten Jinpa. Written and directed by Graham Coleman, produced and photographed by David Lascelles.
In Tibetan language with English commentary and subtitles. DVD Extras include a complete stereo recording of "a Beautiful Ornament", the protective ritual associated with the meditational deity Tara, which forms the heart of part 2 of the trilogy.
"One of the most singular films in years, a very special and demanding masterpiece." The Village Voice.
"Quietly powerful, an astonishing achievement." The Times.
"An extraordinary testament - simple and very compelling." Los Angeles Times. |
