slow unfolding of intricate ceremony's... great i think!, 28 February 2007
7/10
Author: natjohnsmyth from Australia

I just walked out of this movie and i cant escape the feeling that this was a little tedious to say the least but upon reflection i do genuinely feel as though i got a lot out of this film. Be sure not to misunderstand what this film is, it is not by any means a documentary per say, but a fly on the wall doco about what it takes to be a Buddhist monk living in Tibet. Lots of chanting and ceremonial duties along with lots of arts and crafts! From my perspective i walked into this filming not really knowing a hell of a lot about Buddhism but have since gained maybe not a understanding but certainly a appreciation of what these monks can do mentally. Such amazing focus and a ability to send there mind to places that me or you cant even comprehend. Be warned though this movie absolutely isn't for everybody but if you want to have a experience that might provoke a little left of centre thinking then give Tibet. a Buddhist trilogy a go.
