3.5/5
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. Go to Full Review Susan Walker Toronto Star 05/19/2006

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. Go to Full Review Jeff Shannon Seattle Times 04/14/2006
2.5/4
A rigorous, labor-intensive viewing experience, but there's something to be said for its unadorned purity. Go to Full Review Maria Garcia Film Journal International 03/01/2007
Coleman's ethnographic style resembles the American masters and provides a startling insider's view of the selfless devotion of the monks. Go to Full Review Jim Slotek Jam! Movies 05/19/2006
3/5
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. Go to Full Review Bill White Seattle Post-Intelligencer 04/13/2006

07/10/2012 A detailed account of what the men of this faith are like, and the life they lead.. See more 06/17/2007 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. See more Read all reviews
