BRILLIANT MOON (2011)
A film by Neten Chokling
BRILLIANT MOON: GLIMPSES OF DILGO KHYENTSE
RINPOCHE chronicles the life of writer, poet, and meditation master
Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, one of Tibet's most revered 20th-century
Buddhist teachers. He was an inspiration to all who encountered
him, and his many students throughout the world included the Dalai
Lama and the King of Bhutan. 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.
Written and Directed by Neten Chokling, director of MILAREPA
and a close student of Khyentse Rinpoche, and filmed in Tibet,
India, Bhutan, the United States and Nepal, BRILLIANT
MOON uses animation, unseen archival footage and photos along
with new interviews of Tibet's great teachers, to tell Khyentse
Rinpoche's moving life story, from birth to death to rebirth.
Featuring: His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche, Matthieu Ricard, Orgyen
Topgyal Rinpoche, Rabjam Rinpoche, and Sogyal Rinpoche
"Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche was among the most accomplished Buddhist masters I
have met, yet at the same time he radiated all the warm, uplifting qualities of a genuine
and thoroughly good human being."
