      Toddy Burton Austin Chronicle You don't have to be a student of Buddhism to be entranced by the dreamlike images that form Coleman's intimate portrait of Tibetan monks. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 7, 2006 Full Review Susan Walker Toronto Star Long before the two-hour mark, Coleman's documentary begins to more resemble a photographic tour through a museum than an exploration of a living religion. Rated: 2/4 May 19, 2006 Full Review Jeff Shannon Seattle Times A rigorous, labor-intensive viewing experience, but there's something to be said for its unadorned purity. Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 14, 2006 Full Review Maria Garcia Film Journal International Coleman's ethnographic style resembles the American masters and provides a startling insider's view of the selfless devotion of the monks. Mar 1, 2007 Full Review Jim Slotek Jam! Movies A challenge, so dense is it in the philosphical arcana of Tibetan Buddhism. But the images are amazing and intimate, particularly those involving the Dalai Lama as he greets his flock with ease and good humour. Rated: 3/5 May 19, 2006 Full Review Bill White Seattle Post-Intelligencer Captures both the spirituality and humanity of monastic life. Rated: B+ Apr 13, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member A detailed account of what the men of this faith are like, and the life they lead.. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Obscure documentary on the topic of Tibetan Buddhism shot in the 1970's. Very interesting to those familiar with the subject matter. Great footage of His Holiness the Dalai Lama leading tantric invocation to senior students in India. Longer duration than this listing states; it is actually about 2 hours and 13 minutes long. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
