- Renowned as one of Tibetan Buddhism's great spiritual masters, Bokar Rimpoche devoted his life to the practice of meditation while living in exile in the isolation of a small mountain monastery. As the spiritual son of Kalou Rimpoche, Bokar Rimpoche was close to the Dalaï-lama and became the meditation master of the 17th Karmapa. He was both the inheritor and the representative of an ancient wisdom, passed down from generation to generation, that awakens us to a unique reflection on the meaning of life, love and death.
By way of a great journey through the landscapes of the Indian Himalaya, the film invites us to discover the everyday life of a grand spiritual Master. Through his teachings, Bokar Rimpoche proposes a real introduction to Tibetan Buddhism that, far from resembling an esoteric and inaccessible philosophy, is presented as a universal approach to the elementary mechanisms of happiness and suffering. For true and lasting happiness emanate from an inner peace that can only be found by cultivating altruism, love and compassion, instead of selfishness, hate and greed.
Bokar Rimpoche left our world on the 17th of August 2005, a few months after the shooting of the last sequences of this film. For many people Bokar Rimpoche's life served as a powerful inspiration and as an example of kindness, of compassion and of universal love.
With his disappearance, a source of ancestral wisdom flows no longer. But through this film he offers us a real testimonial of love, wholeness and hope.
