VAJRA SKY OVER TIBET Trailer

(Central Tibet - Sacred Journey 3 - The Yatra Trilogy) Narrated by Tenzin L Choegyal, Dadon and John Bush. 89 Min.

Vajra is a Sanskrit word signifying the thunderbolt of illumination.

VAJRA SKY is a cinematic pilgrimage to central Tibet, bearing witness to the indomitable faith of its endangered Buddhist community and the imminent threat to its very survival.

Traveling through breathtaking Himalayan terrain, VAJRA SKY visits extraordinary temples, monasteries and festivals, while revealing a covert policy of Chinese authorities to destroy this ancient wisdom tradition from within.

The enduring power of Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism resonates in all of its sacred shrines. It echoes within the bustling Jokhang Temple and the empty Potala Palace, home of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

"It is not only the year's best documentary, but it is also among the finest films ever made about religion." -Phil Hall, Film Threat

"An illuminating meditation on that deepest of Buddhist philosophical concerns -- impermanence. Study of a threatened culture and people is beautifully shot inside Tibet's most sacred sites and arrives with the blessing of the Dalai Lama."
-Richard Kuipers, Variety

To you young, foul-mouthed Chinese commenting here on Youtube. Time to grow up.

Many of you here are spoiled, angry, misled children unable to debate or dialog. Products of pure propaganda.

Your CCP govt has been feeding you lies about Tibet and China (Tiananmen 1989, and the Cultural Revolution, etc..) for decades.

Since China's illegal invasion of Tibet in 1949, over 1.2 million Tibetans have been killed, 6000 monasteries have been destroyed, and thousands of Tibetans imprisoned.

Chinese barbarians had already destroyed the spiritual culture of Tibet. As nothing is permanent there will be a reversal watch and see ...........

@paulho8 what does it feel like to be brainwashed???

[silverwindspirit]

Does Itunes (or any music stores) sell the soundtrack only to this documentary?

[CHI2GUEVARA]

晕死，咋不配上哀乐呢！太她妈恶心了！

[silverwindspirit]

where can I find the soundtrack for this movie? I would totally buy it if I can find it

[mikerblais]

seems you are a bit pro-China perhaps? Questions you ask seem to be a little biased towards Tibet not self-existing as a country or culture?

Looks like beautiful cinimatography, but comments here are filled with false facts. Facts can be proved, or disproved , with evidence.

What do you mean by "Tibet." What are the boundaries of Tibet?

When did people first migrate into Tibet? Where did they come from?

What was the original religeon(s) of the first people of Tibet?

Where was the "capital" of Tibet?

Who was the first "king" of Tibet?

Did Tibetans practice regicide? When did this "tradition" end, and how?

FREE TIBET

just saw it on TV ch 5 public channel.

it was beautiful

I saw this film on the big screen in the cinema, and it was breathtaking. If you can, try to get it on DVD so you can watch it in the high quality that the cinematography deserves. There is no comparable film anywhere (having said that, I do recommend Kundun and Tibet: A Buddhist Trilogy, but Kundun could not be filmed in Tibet and the Trilogy is set in Dharamsala ) Vajra Sky is a completely unique and precious glimpse of a culture verging on extinction.
