In 1963, for the first time, the Dalai Lama allowed a Westerner, Desjardins, to film the heart of the Tibetan tradition. These two films, each 52 minutes long, were originally shown on French television in the 1960's and are a wonderful testimony, revealing some of Tibet's foremost masters as they were then. It includes footage of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, the Sixteenth Karmapa, Dudjom Rinpoche, Ling Rinpoche, Chatral Rinpoche, Sakya Trizin, and the yogis Abo Rinpoche and Lopon Sonam Zangpo. The original sixties commentaries have been retained, even though it may sound a bit dated in places. "These portraits of the legendary Tibetan masters are not simply a unique historical record, not only a stunning and moving inspiration for now and for the future, but an extraordinary testimony, a treasure." Sogyal Rinpoche.

  • The Shamanist mongol wants to say: Yuan Dynasty was just pro forma Mongol but the Tibetan Lama had the moral authority over the Khans. Yeap !

  • Someone is jealous :-)

  • Google: Mongol-Tibetan relations in the 13th and 14th centuries

    (Never expected to deal with this distorted mindset of a Mongol, but since he is Shaman he should get in trance and ask the Khans ?!

  • Guess someone has got completely twisted history, I did not get exactly what that guy meant ?

    

    Who invaded brutally the half of the world ?

  • Thanks for uploading this old film !
