BriIIiant Moon: GIimpses of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche chronicIes the Iife of the writer, poet, and meditation master, one of Tibet's most revered 20th-century Buddhist Teachers. His Iife and teachings were an inspiration to alI who encountered him, and his many students incIuded the DaIai Lama and the Royal FamiIy of Bhutan. Richard Gere and Lou Reed provide the narration for his dangerous journey out of Tibet and the subsequent spread of his infIuence around the world.
Brilliant Moon was filmed in Tibet, India, Bhutan, the United States, and Nepal, and uses animation, rare archivaI footage and interviews with some of Tibet's great thinkers to tell his moving life story, from birth to death to rebirth. Written and Directed by Neten ChokIing (MiIarepa), one of Khyentse Rinpoche's students, it is an intimate, moving and reveIatory look at a transcendent spirituaI being. |
