Synopsis:
PAL UK/European format. Telo Rinpoche, a.k.a. Eddie Ombadykow, is a 21 year-old American whose favourite band is the Smashing Pumpkins. He is also a Buddhist monk who was brought up in a Tibetan monastery in India and recognzied as a high reincarnate lama. Now, he finds himself in his ancestral homeland, Kalmykia, a remote Mongolian Buddhist republic in southern Russia, where he is revered by the people as their spiritual leader and charged with the responsibility of reviving Buddhism.
The Trials of Telo Rinpoche is the poignant story of his efforts to come to terms with his own unusual destiny while struggling to fulfill the expectations thrust upon him by his family and by the people of Kalmykia who see him as their great hope.
"A fascinating study of Tibetan Buddhism in the post-modern world. Telo Rinpoche's candid description of his hopes and frustrations provides a powerful and human portrait that will raise important questions." Donald Lopez. |
