Unmistaken Child old trailer english

[Hustonal]

The special rituals and tests done to determine which of the children is in fact the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama are really interesting. In My Reincarnation, a documentary I just watched, the reincarnation is noted upon birth. We watch Yeshi struggle with his Western and Tibetan spiritual identities. Yeshi has dreams from his past life that reassure him of his place as a reincarnation. This trailer shows more about the struggle and realization bit . ly/s5zUze

I just finished watching this film, and it was an amazing experience........highly recommended ;)

[sidrabid]

Why are most reincarnations male??? Probably because a it is easier to remember a previous birth if you are the same sex... It would be strange for one to remember a previous life as a male if one was female no? and vice versa... There are quite a female reincarnations though...

[EasternMerchant]

I believe that life is like an ocean of matter which flows through every facet of the universe, it disperses and coalesces into a new life form. Whether good or bad is only relative, and that the next lifeform would be a intermixed with previous lives even in the plural sense.

3 people die>>>>becomes flowers in garden>>>>>some flowers die>>>>becomes single bird>>>>bird and a cat dies>>>>>becomes one child>>>> wherever life force flows will be it's next life cycle.

that guy is a stupid fuck

@dymco

at least he doesn't frap on his computer all day until it breaks

[goranvrcel]

Whether one believes in reincarnation or not, it does not matter. This movie is more than that, it's about principle, honor, respect, love, and last but not least, tradition, and even self control. Most people yearn for something great, a greater power. Traditions vary, beliefs vary, but the yearning is the same. Yearning for that god. How you define that god is up to you or the culture you are in. People with these values lead a healthier life than those who pass judgments to feed their ego.

@goranvrcel

Speak for yourself. I've never felt anything but unmitigated disgust towards the concept of 'Gods'

[statemindful]

Saw it 3 times and was moved each time.

[crackercookies]

@statemindful I have a question about Unmistaken Child. I saw the movie without subtitles so I do not know if the child choosing the items on the table were all correct. What did they say? Did the kid choose the correct items? All of them?

[kookoomay97051]

@crackercookies yes he chose all the correct items. or else he would not have been chosen.

[dharmaista]

How can it be there is always a reencarnation in a boy? Why is never a girl for centuries and centuries? Now yoga meditations and practices has reach all people in society. Why the tibetan wise men makes reencarnate over and over in a man, why they never choose a woman?????? Why there is not tibetan nuns????

[WierdAAR]

The actually are a lot a tibetian nuns. The are entire monostaryes devoted to female religous practice. That most of the reencarnations are boy, comes from the fact that most of the lamas (The old ones at any rate, hense those who die) are men.

[dharmaista]

So, because they are men, they reencarnate as men too? That doesnt make any sense. I thought it didnt matter the gender in reencarnation, just mainly the lesson one is supposed to have in that very lifetime.

[WierdAAR]

You could say that since they were men, they would be more likly to reincarnate as men. But I don't understand you're point, there are a lot og women in buddhism, but of course a religion were there are most men, will tend to favor finding what they think is the reencarnated masters in male children.

[goranvrcel]

@dharmaista There are Tibetan nuns, there are reincarnations of girls. Even "Buddha" according to Buddhism was a woman in one of his previous lifes. The Dalai Lama's sister was reincarnated as well.

[Annkimdallas]

It is poweful emotional. How one can't believe in reincarnation of the divine Lama.

My heart goes out to them. Nano Bhuddaya, Namodharmaya, Namosanghaya!

[EarlRDunbar]

Flockofseagulls: I'm afraid I cannot answer your second question completely.

[EarlRDunbar]

Flockofseagulls: Sorry for the slow reply. I am honoured that you think I can reply ... I am just a beginner, so I'm afraid any answer I may have is simply a novice and perhaps incorrect understanding.

The self, as I understand it, means the "true self". In an unenlightened state our perception of our self is deluded; we think of the stream of thoughts ABOUT our self to actually BE our self, but it is not. And our self is never static or constant; it is always changing.

[crackyhoss]

Tom, when you say it like that, it makes it no more unbelievable than a guy living inside of a fish, or man walking on water. Don't want to start a flame war over religion, but let's try and keep things in perspective. This isn't a movie made to convince you of reincarnation.

[TomLeykisClips]

This version of reincarnation is way too out there. POSSIBLY it's understandable that one's consciousness disperses after death and then PARTLY embeds into a newly forming conscience, but an 'entire consciousness' transplanting into a child?

[kvn024]

oh my buddah i saw the Unmistaken Child!!

[antiquecraft]

Hi Nati, I really enjoyed the trailer.

I am also from Tsum valley, a village called Gok which lies before Chekangparo.

Its interesting since i always wanted to make a short documentary about tsum and i started self learning and doing apprenticeship right now.

And hopefully when you come to Nepal i would like to meet you.

[squiddiez]

It looks like a wonderful movie, I can't wait to see it.

[EnlightenedWings]

It is hard for anyone to understand that which is not a part of their upbringing.

Those who have not embraced western religion would think that it is ridiculous to believe in heaven or hell. Yet most of us accept this without fail.

What makes the beliefs of another culture all that much different? You don't have to accept this belief as your own.

Try and understand that the mission of this disciple is of uttermost importance to him.

[iamlumin]

One cannot comprehend what they have yet to realize themselves. The depth of Tibetan Buddhism is grasped through individual realization. Each of us really represents the whole yet clinging to human sense it seems people get lost in separation. Knowing the whole is always whole and complete who then is really lost? What is now has always been and will always be, as it is always now.

[dakz50]

The Buddhist concept of reincarnation, while both mysterious and enchanting, is hard for most westerners to grasp.

[goranvrcel]

True, yet it is very obvious in the west. Look at Christianity. Even Jesus, according to the Gospels, came back to life after death, in human form, and not only as a spirit. Later he entered heaven. Buddhists believe in reincarnation, another life after death, and try to live according to the teachings. The same goes for many Christians. They await another life after death. The concept is almost the same, yet the labels differ. So westerners got a pretty good idea of what it is.

[ottopotomas]

Does anyone else find this disturbing?

A man so deluded he is actually convinced he has to search the world to find the reincarnated version of his master and that upon simply seeing this child he will intrincsicly know it is his master?

Thats not heartwarming - that's sick. Think of the poor child who this delusional monk decides to choose. Think of the shoes he's meant to fill, and of the life that he will have to lead, because of some bullshit made up belief of reincarnation.

[hhhat928]

Why is he "deluded"? Are you so delusional to believe that your dogma is more realistic than his?

[ottopotomas]

He's deluded because he actually believes he will find the reincarnated version of his master in a child and simply 'know' it is he. What a ridiculous concept. Such fiction. Such nonsense.

It's like searching for a needle in a haystack; only there is no needle.

[alamarinara]

I feel sorry for you, ottopotomas Your world is so limited and your mind is so rigid and your existence is so spiritually impoverished.

Yours are the ramblings of a deluded and self-righteous ego. I hope that one day you're able to see your self-opinionated posturing for the prison that it is.

[ottopotomas]

Again, not even the sligthest attempt at any form of dissent toward my argument. Always some kind of semi-poetic attack on my spritual character.

I care little for your analysis of my spiritual credibility. I do not post opinions for that reason - I beckon rational thought and logical reasoning. You have presented to me that your reply hosts neither of these virtues, and as such, I have no qualms dismissing it.

[kookoomay97051]

@alamarinara well as long as young can fuck your self with your pornography and dilude your self with drugs, then you can teach your children to do the same.

[kookoomay97051]

@alamarinara also you can shit on the earth and not recycle and treat the world as if you stand upon it rather then holding it up like hercules would or these people do.

[BongoBunny]

Could you possibly be more ethnocentric?

[ottopotomas]

You haven't actually attempted any form of dissent to what I've said - just attempted to defame my character a little as to make my argunt weaker. Unsuccessfully I might add.

Furthermore, it has nothing to do with this. If someone from America or Australia or Britain was partaking in a similar sort of silly find-the-rincarnated-form-of-m­y-master I would feel exactly the same way.

[BongoBunny]

Your statement is nothing more that ethnicity based bias. You claim I make no point but never examine your own statement from a wider perspective. Your obvious disbelief in reincarnation causes you to brand anyone who does believe in it delusional. It is the gross intolerance reflected in your statement that drives people into moral wars, that causes groups to feel superior to others, that brings hate and discontent to the world.

[Vertsk8er419]

ottomapotomus, you sound like your writing a 9th grade essay...obviously a victim of societies conditioning..he may one day realize this

[ottopotomas]

You stand as testament to societys departure from a holistic education to a narrow minded illogical and irrational one. How can someone be so unbelievably foolish as to spell someones name wrong when it is right in front of their face?

Imbecile.

[EarlRDunbar]

How holistic is it to completely dismiss a spiritual point of view/belief with which you simply disagree? How holistic is it to circumscribe beliefs as only that which is "rational"? Things that were irrational a century ago is are now completely common, not just rational?

BTW, I was trained in hard sciences (biology & chemistry), am now a network engineer, and am also a Zen Buddhist. I do not know a lot about reincarnation, but I don't lash out at others who believe it.

[flockofseagulls87]

But I thought Bhuddists are emphatic about the anattman concept. My question is this, if Bhuddists deny a self ever existed in the first place, than how can a nonexistant self reincarnate?

[SuperiorShore]

"I thought" ... there you go again! :)

Seriously, I don't deny A SELF exists, and I don't think Buddhism "believes" that. The self exists AND does not exist as we perceive it ... the self you perceive this moment is illusory.

[flockofseagulls87]

Several questions immediately spring to mind. (I hope you don't mind if I ask). When a Bhuddist speaks of "self", what does he mean? Ego, persona? Or does the self refer to all awareness and the totality of being? And how can an illusory self, (wether it's existence being dependent on our perception or not) reincarnate? Does it only "appear" to be reborn? With no causal connection to any past life or lives? Or is there some kind of continuity?

[Herooftimex]

its youtube...fuck off and let the baby have his bottle

[Ganeschar]

He has big bottle ;)

[wavemechanism]

The strange thing actually is why did you take the time out of your day to comment on a movie that you think is based on a false reality? Obviously, this subject is very dear to your heart, otherwise you would not have commented on it. Perhaps you are a tulku or a high-level bodhisattva come back to educate us on reincarnation! Many blessings to you.

[ottopotomas]

I think the reason I took the time out to comment on this movie is because I find it highly disturbing, not because of some ridiculous fantasy of yours.

[wavemechanism]

Your compassionate concern for the welfare of the child is to be commended! As for my "ridiculous fantasy," I see you as a great bodhisattva because of your great compassion. Is that so wrong? My only intent is to praise your strengths and not to be offensive in any manner. Again, many blessings to you for sparking such a wonderful discourse and discussion.

[NamkaiTrinley]

Have you even seen the movie?

[xalmgais]

thank you for posting! very interesting.

[losangchokyi]

Í have seen the reincarnation of Lama Konchog, a lovely boy

[BFDK]

Just saw it today, amazing journey ! :-)

Also very heartwarming to see this sweet child :)

[BeKyatso18]

It is a 'MUST-SEE" the relics of Geshe Lama Konchog (the Master) & the 'Golden Unmistaken Child' found in Gorkha District, Nepal. Its a boy now about 6 yrs old. Visit Kopan!

[jinpala]

Congratulations Nati-la !!!!Can't wait to see it.

Very very best wishes

[datinfei]

finally its up in youtube.

It's so warm and touching.

Om ah hum.

[lupolina]

I saw the movie on the Berlinale Film-Festival and I am still deeply moved! What an incredible documentary! I really hope that it will be released in the cinemas and lots and lots of people will be able to witness the amazing quest of the wonderful, warm-hearted Tenzin Zopa for thereincarnation of his beloved teacher.

[gewomen10k]

Beautiful & artistic shoot.

[ocreview]

Saw yesterday, beautifully done movie.

Even a Buddhist monk must struggle with his emotions.
