Ma réincarnation

So much media, so little time. I will submit to you that this end of a horrible year is possibly one of the best movie runs in a long long time. And to kick things off, you could do yourself a favor by watching this remarkable documentary about the complex relationship between exiled Tibetan spiritual master Cheogyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche and his Italian-born son. The incredible things about documentaries is that they get made at all. And when a film opens you up to a whole world, thousands of years of tradition and practices, and a remarkable family struggle, all at the same time, then watch and pray this happens more often. So in a real sense, this film is beyond criticism, ratings and all the rest. The fact that it exists, and that you, living your hum drum life might get to see it, and that it shows a real life drama so much more moving and important that any other film or TV show or Internet blabber that you might waste your time with is enough said. Watch this, open your mind, and experience what can only be said to be a tale for our time. For the fact that the cruelty and hatred that spawned all of it is still there, and that maybe, just maybe, by watching this we might be inspired to do some small thing to assist those who suffer,is all that really matters. Enough said.
