Brilliant Moon ... Life of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche



"Like the earth and the pervading elements,
Enduring like the sky itself endures,
For boundless multitudes of living beings,
may I be their ground and sustenance..."


"Being present in the moment may initially trigger fear.
But by welcoming the sensation of fear with complete openness,
we cut through the barriers created by habitual emotional patterns."


Glimpses of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche chronicles the life of the writer, poet, and meditation master Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, one of Tibet's most revered 20th-century Buddhist teachers. Known as the teacher 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 way 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 photos, along with new interviews with some of Tibet's great teachers, to tell Khyentse Rinpoche's moving life story, from birth to death to rebirth.
