<p>Tibet: A Buddhist Trilogy is one of the very highly accomplished films to be made about our culture &#8230; The film also captures the sense of inner peace and light-heartedness in the face of adversity, which many have remarked is a compelling quality of the Tibetan character. &#8211;His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama New direct-to-digital transfer and remaster from original 16mm film Bonus Features Include: Interview with the Producer and Director and the complete sound recording from a tantric Buddhist ritual Stunning cinematography, unprecedented access and informed direction take us on an intimate journey deep into the heart of the ancient Buddhist culture of Tibet. This is a classic work filmed in 16mm on location in India, Nepal and Ladakh during 1977. Hailed as a masterpiece, this is a spellbinding exploration of Tibetan Buddhism. Written and directed by Graham Coleman (editor of the recently released first complete translation of the Tibetan Book of the Dead) and produced and photographed by David Lascelles, the film features an intimate portrait of the Dalai Lama, a rare look at an ancient tantric ritual associated with the female deity Tara, commentary based on the teachings of the great 20th century Tibetan master Dudjom Rinpoche, and the moving response of a monastery to a death in the community. In making the Trilogy, we were searching for an immediacy, intimacy and unobtrusiveness, which had been so masterfully achieved in such classic documentaries as Robert <b>&#8230;</b></p>

<p>Tārā is a female Bodhisattva typically associated with Tibetan Buddhism. She is one of the more popular figures in the Tibetan pantheon of deities. Tārā (pronounced tah&#8217; rah), whose name in means Star, originated in Indian Hinduism as the Mother Creator, and her many representations spread from Ireland to Indonesia under many different names. As White Tara, she rose from a lotus blooming in the lake that formed from the first tear of compassion of great bodhisattva Avalokiteswara (whose human incarnation is the Dalai Lama), and is considered his consort The White Tārā is the personification of compassion, long life, healing and serenity. The followers of the White Tārā believe that the gift of longevity is granted for the practice of compassion and service to others. The words to the White Tārā Mantra are: Oṃ Tāre Tuttāre Ture Mama Ayuḥ Punya Jñānā Puṣtiṃ Kuru Svāhā Humanity Healing is proud to share with you this sacred meditation mantra for the White Tārā. The Humanity Healing Network is producing a series of meditation mantras and videos in conjunction with Isabella Rajotte and Webs of Sound Production, Canada; and will be shortly opening up a Meditation Room on our main website: www.humanityhealing.net This page will include downloadable meditation instructions.
