This clip has been edited, unfortunately. There are a few key moments that have been cut out, such as the Indian guard's questioning of the Dalai Lama at the Indian border, "Are you the Lord Buddha?"
At 5:43, there's a circle that forms. I'm Native American and this is seen all throughout our culture. My girlfriend, who is Tibetan, showed me this video and it really made me think. Does anyone know the significance behind it in Tibetan culture?
The circle is part of the mandala, which is the literal abode of a Buddha. The circle can signify a lot of things; the cycle of rebirth, the shape of the universe, or the cyclical nature of existence
@ShahoftheShahs That is not a very peaceful thing to wish on anyone. May China become enlightened and help all suffering beings, bless Tibet and China and all beings in the universe.
Great Video, very well put together.

I love this scene in the movie. I just wish the sound was a little louder. Would love to have this movie on my I POD.

You should all make certain you read commentaries from the Dalai Lama. Be well.

May the Government of the Chinamen be damned for destroying the Kingdom of Peace. May they never realise Peace.

Nah, even though it feels like justice is due, we don't really have the right to impose hell on another.

@zafada I suppose you are Correct. It should be ironic if for Peace we were to wish some One 'Hell'.

Thank you for uploading this. This is such an underrated movie, and Philip Glass's haunting score only helps.
