Brilliant Moon: Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

[Muzz]

Hi folks

Brilliant Moon: Glimpses of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche chronicles the life of the writer, poet, and meditation master Khyentse Rinpoche, one of Tibet’s most revered 20th-century Buddhist teachers. Known as the instructor of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the Royal Family of Bhutan, his life and teachings were an inspiration to all who encountered him. Two of his admirers are Richard Gere and Lou Reed, who provide the narration for his dangerous journey out of China and the subsequent spread of his influence around the world. Brilliant Moon was filmed in Tibet, India, Bhutan, the United States and Nepal, and uses animation, rare archival 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 Chokling (Milarepa), one of Khyentse Rinpoche’s students, it is an intimate, moving and revelatory look at a transcendent spiritual being.

We go on retreat every year to Crestone, Colorado, for 7-8 weeks. Most of the time we meditate privately, but in the mornings we go for teachings in a large Tibetan Yurt, very authentic! One morning he arrived, to give a short teaching in very good English. We sang a devotional song to him and gave scarves and received a traditional bonk on the head!

We actually met him when he was only six years old in Nepal... and got a bonk on the head then... lucky us!

( A bonk on the head, is just receiving a touch on the forehead with a blessed object. Traditionally when meeting one bonks forehead together.)

May we one day bonk heads Muzz!
