Tibet: The Path to Wisdom

Ani Rigsang has chosen a nomadic lifestyle in the land of white clouds. The Buddhist nun felt confined in Lhasa, and so today she has taken to the road to reconnect with her country’s spiritual traditions, which are now threatened by rapid modernisation and the reinforcement of Chinese control over the region.

From snowy mountains to green valleys, from monastery to monastery, this documentary accompanies Ani as she makes her way through Tibet. A moving testimony that brings together age-old traditions and legends, this film takes us through stunning landscapes, revealing to us a contrasting Tibet, jostled by modernisation and the upheavals of its holy geography.

Achieving the rainbow body of light is seen to be the ultimate way to alleviate the suffering of other living beings.

Reminders

• See all beings as your children
• Understand your mind
• If you understand . . .
• Learn to tame your inner energies, and you will understand everything
• The only thing beyond thought is love
• The purpose of life is to ease the suffering of others
• Abandon all effort. Find the silence beyond thought. Simply remain. The rest happens naturally ~ and the body dissolves into light.
