Overview

Digitally re-mastered with new material and an updated commentary, Tibet: A Buddhist Trilogy is the acclaimed classic documentary now available on DVD for the first time. This extraordinary film, which debuted in 1979 and has since received international acclaim, takes you on an intimate journey into Tibet's ancient Buddhist culture. It presents an unprecedented portrait of the Dalai Lama as both a spiritual and temporal leader, offers a rare glimpse inside monastic life, and sensitively captures the communal response to loss. Accompanied by an exclusive extra—a complete stereo recording of “A Beautiful Ornament,” the protective ritual associated with the meditational deity TARA—the DVD enriches your viewing experience with both historical context and spiritual insight.
