I just found out about this movie but have been told that the director will remove it from Youtube (and presumably other outlets) shortly as it is a commercial film.The history books fail to truly represent what happened in Tibet during 1959 as the illegal occupation of Tibet by China got underway. To really capture and preserve that moment of history we have to go to the source, the people who were there.A brand new film, Drensol (‘memory’ in Tibetan) by Sonam Nawang N. Anja-Tsang, director of Little Tibet and Little Tibet 2, aims to capture the fascinating oral history of eyewitnesses before it is too late. We are very proud to have part funded this film which documents the eyewitness accounts of 23 elderly Tibetans who lived in a pre-occupied Tibet, through the uprising and eventually escaped to Nepal and India. Drensol will let you share their stories about life in Tibet, life in exile and their dreams for the future of their country.

“Where do atomic bombs come from?”
Zen Master Seung Sahn said, “That’s simple. Atomic bombs come from the mind that likes this and doesn’t like that.”
"Even if you practice only for an hour a day with faith and inspiration, good qualities will steadily increase. Regular practice makes it easy to transform your mind. From seeing only relative truth, you will eventually reach a profound certainty in the meaning of absolute truth."
Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche.

Thank you for sharing this.

Very interesting.
When facing a single tree, if you look at a single one of its red leaves, you will not see all the others. When the eye is not set on any one leaf, and you face the tree with nothing at all in mind, any number of leaves are visible to the eye without limit. But if a single leaf holds the eye, it will be as if the remaining leaves were not there. One who has understood this is no different from Kannon with a thousand arms and a thousand eyes.
