The Preserving Tibetan Culture Series
Monday, August 14, 2023 at 11:38AM The Preserving Tibetan Culture Three Hour Series
This three hour series of exquisite films was produced and directed by Roger Charret, a long time traveler to Nepal and the Tibetian enclaves created and protected by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.
Dalai Lama is a title given by the Tibetan people to the foremost spiritual leader of the Gelug or "Yellow Hat" school of Tibetan Buddhism, the newest and most dominant of the four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism.[3] The 14th and incumbent Dalai Lama is Tenzin Gyatso, who lives in exile as a refugee in India. The Dalai Lama is also considered to be the successor in a line of tulkus who are believed[2] to be incarnations of Avalokiteśvara,[1] the Bodhisattva of Compassion.[4][5]
The Films...
1. Masters of the Mind
In Dharamsala, in northwestern India, there is an important Tibetan community in exile, and there are dozens of others throughout the country, following the invasion of Tibet by China in 1950. It is the capital and heart of Tibet in the land of welcome, because it is here that lives the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of 7 million Tibetans. Under his enlightened leadership, the main institutions destroyed in Tibet have been restored, and continue to thrive...world-wide.

2. Ladakh...On the Road to Progress
Ladakh, often called little Tibet, is in northwestern India. An ancient independent kingdom of Tibetan origin, it is isolated in the middle of the Himalayas, on the borders of Pakistan, China and Tibet. In 1960, it took the creation of one of the highest highways in the world to open Ladakh. In 1974 the highway was opened to tourists. Today, Ladakh has now gone from the age of yak caravans to that of 4X4 convoys!
