00:01:37 Now, then, what does this
00:01:41 [ Together ]
00:01:44 must ever be sacrificed.
00:01:50 What happened to--
00:01:52 Ah, yes, the goat.
00:01:55 Mmm. The goat had many, many lives
00:02:01 until one day he turned
00:02:05 very strange indeed.

00:06:31 - [ Lama Norbu ] Yes, a little tired.
00:06:49 Tell me again
00:06:52 My dreams began about a month

00:07:00 - The empty site.
00:07:02 Lama Dorje was walking
00:07:05 He was pointing to
00:07:08 but there was nothing there.
00:07:10 And then I found the site...
00:07:12 quite by chance
00:07:15 just as it was in the dreams.
00:07:18 I saw they had started
00:07:21 I discovered that it belonged
00:07:24 with a small boy called Jesse,

00:07:40 Lama Dorje
00:07:42 Oh, yes.
00:07:45 because in life,
00:07:51 Of course, I felt very shy
00:07:55 but then I was lucky.

00:18:54 his mother, Queen Maya, was returning
00:18:59 for the birth of her child.

00:19:06 so, on the way,
00:19:11 by the edge
00:19:19 [ Singing ]
00:19:32 As the Queen

00:22:54 I wouldn't mind
00:22:56 visiting the places I like again
00:23:00 Suppose you come back
00:23:03 So, what's wrong
00:23:05 Lots of group activity
00:23:09 You can get squished.
00:23:13 People get squished too.

00:25:49 who knows that
00:25:52 to learn from
00:25:54 Will he be a great king?
00:25:57 He'll be the master
00:26:00 Or its redeemer.
00:26:02 When he grows older, Siddhartha can
00:26:06 but first of all
00:26:10 - and be a king.
00:26:12 but the gods often betray

00:28:59 But how can you find him
00:29:02 It's very difficult to explain,
00:29:07 - Like a ghost, you mean?
00:29:10 - As a child.
00:29:15 You could be, yes.
00:29:19 I think I am.

00:46:33 Here the ashes are given
00:46:57 [ Men Weeping ]
00:47:15 Death is the moment
00:47:18 which comes to every person
00:47:21 When a body grows cold
00:47:25 it has to be burned
00:48:20 [ Lama Norbu Narrating ]
00:48:23 from this fire,
00:48:26 that Siddhartha
00:48:29 and discovered compassion.
00:48:33 They were him,
00:48:52 - Dad.
00:48:54 Of course not.
00:48:59 - Look! It's human bone.
00:49:03 Spooky, huh?
00:49:06 Jesse, I need to talk
00:49:09 Okay, Dad.
00:49:11 Come. I'll show you
00:49:17 I was just telling Jesse
00:49:21 That's
00:49:23 A beautiful... myth.
00:49:25 It is one way of telling the truth,
00:49:31 Lama Norbu, I have a great respect
00:49:34 and your religion,
00:49:38 and I know about
00:49:41 and the tragedies
00:49:44 but I don't believe in reincarnation,
00:49:47 Why should you?
00:49:52 In Tibet, we think of
00:49:56 as the contents
00:50:04 Now the cup
00:50:07 But what is the tea?
00:50:09 - Still tea.
00:50:13 In the cup, on the table,
00:50:17 it moves from one container
00:50:21 but it's still tea.
00:50:24 Like the mind after death,
00:50:26 it moves from one body
00:50:30 but it is still mind.
00:50:35 Even in the towel,
00:50:39 The same tea.
00:50:41 - None for me, thanks.
00:50:43 Once we're certain
00:50:46 the child would receive
00:50:50 He could become a very powerful figure
00:50:54 a spiritual leader.
00:50:56 Even if
00:50:58 I mean, what, you're offering Jesse
00:51:02 - Is that it?
00:51:04 If he wanted it.
00:51:06 Or he could go on with his life here
00:51:11 But first, to be sure
00:51:15 we will take Jesse
00:51:18 consult the Abbot
00:51:20 and all the experts.
00:51:23 Now you look angry.
00:51:25 I am. To take a child away
00:51:28 - in this country, we call kidnapping.
00:51:31 Vroom!
00:51:33 - Special delivery for Lama Norbu!
00:51:36 - Vroom!
00:51:40 would come with him.
00:51:42 - To Bhutan?
00:51:44 It's a very beautiful
00:51:46 Well, well. It seems
00:51:50 for the reincarnation
00:51:53 A little boy
00:51:56 Are there a lot of us? How many
00:51:59 Come on, let's go.
00:52:01 Come on.
00:52:03 This has gone too far.
00:52:06 - Jesse. Jesse.
00:52:08 - Lama!
00:52:10 - Don't forget your book,
00:52:15 Lama Norbu!
00:52:25 [ Siddhartha ]
00:52:27 why have you hidden the truth
00:52:31 Why have you lied to me
00:52:34 sickness, poverty,
00:52:37 old age and death?
00:52:42 If I've lied to you, Siddhartha,
00:52:46 Your love
00:52:50 How can I live here
00:52:52 when so many
00:52:56 You never wanted
00:52:59 - Father.
00:53:01 I must find an answer
00:53:05 Even if you betray me,
00:53:07 have you no pity for the wife you leave,
00:53:12 My... child is born?
00:53:14 Born this very evening.
00:53:18 Think of them, Siddhartha.
00:53:20 You too are a father.
00:53:24 You cannot leave now.
00:53:28 Even my love
00:53:32 and my son...
00:53:35 cannot remove
00:53:40 For I know that they too
00:53:44 grow old...
00:53:47 and die.
00:53:52 Like you, like me,
00:53:58 like us all.
00:54:07 Yes.
00:54:09 We must all die...
00:54:12 and be reborn...
00:54:14 and die again,
00:54:16 and be reborn and die,
00:54:21 No man can ever
00:54:24 Then that...
00:54:26 is my task.
00:54:29 I...
00:54:31 will lift that curse.

00:55:34 In San Francisco.
00:55:38 I'll try to get
00:55:47 What happened to Evan?

01:10:31 Were you sleeping,
01:10:33 No, I was meditating.
01:10:35 What's meditating?
01:10:37 It is being
01:10:42 separating yourself
01:10:46 setting your mind free
01:10:48 And you can then see

01:11:42 by making their minds
01:11:44 they would forget
01:11:48 Then, one day...
01:11:51 Siddhartha heard
01:11:54 from a passing boat

01:12:04 And if you leave it
01:12:10 [ Lama Norbu Narrating ]
01:12:13 that these simple words
01:12:17 and that in all these years

01:14:06 But when the ascetics
01:14:09 bathing and eating

01:14:15 as if Siddhartha had given up
01:14:19 Come...
01:14:23 - and eat with me.
01:14:27 - You have given up the search.
01:14:31 - We can no longer learn from you.

01:41:04 is an effect
01:41:08 He knew there was
01:41:11 without compassion
01:41:16 From that moment on,
01:41:18 Siddhartha was called
01:41:22 the Awakened One.

01:44:31 They began making this mandala
01:44:36 And now it is
01:44:39 [ Dean ] It's beautiful.
01:44:42 [ Lama Norbu ] To show the impermanence
01:44:47 So when
01:44:50 it'll be destroyed
01:44:53 Like that.
01:44:58 [ Lama Norbu ]
01:45:01 All three children
01:46:53 Then we must ask
01:46:58 Though in the end,
01:47:01 [ Children Shouting ]
01:47:04 [ Drums, Cymbals ]
01:47:12 [ Moaning ]

01:49:31 [ Singing Continues ]
01:49:42 My teacher,
01:49:45 I'm so happy
01:49:48 at last.
01:50:07 Perhaps one day,
01:50:25 I am truly happy,
01:50:28 three times happy.
01:50:30 But how can we all
01:50:33 [ Singing Continues ]
01:50:36 [ Singing Stops ]
01:50:38 It is very rare,
01:50:42 Separate manifestations...
01:50:44 of the body, the speech
01:50:48 None of these three
01:50:53 All of us
01:50:55 like the world
01:50:58 But remember this:
01:51:01 The most important
01:51:04 is to feel compassion
01:51:08 to give of oneself,
01:51:11 and above all,
01:51:14 like the Buddha.
01:51:16 [ Whip Cracks ]
01:51:18 [ Chattering in Tibetan ]
01:51:24 Jesse! Jesse!
01:51:37 - You all right?
01:51:41 thank you.
01:51:43 A little overcome,
01:51:47 - [ Sighs ]
01:51:51 I'm afraid... I'm not
01:51:55 of Buddhist detachment.
01:51:58 Children.
01:52:03 Um...
01:52:08 the bowl
01:52:12 And, uh,
01:52:15 this is for you.
01:52:18 My work is done.
01:52:21 Now I can rest.
01:52:24 I can go back
01:52:29 to the place
01:52:33 [ Chuckling ]
01:52:35 You still don't believe
01:52:39 do you?

01:57:35 Yesterday, he talked about
01:57:38 He must have meant
01:57:42 Someone like Lama Norbu
01:57:46 for ten days...
01:57:49 or even more.
01:57:51 He can sit like a mountain,
01:57:56 And he can meditate
01:58:00 And then, smoothly,
01:58:02 while doing meditation,
01:58:06 with his own will.
01:58:09 - He's dying.
01:58:14 Death is a big part
01:58:17 Every breath that
01:58:21 What about
01:58:24 What about the people
01:58:26 He will come back.
01:58:28 I don't know if I believe it,
01:58:33 [ Drumming, Chanting ]
01:58:56 [ Drumming,
02:00:58 - Lama Norbu passed away.
02:01:24 [ Chanting Continues ]
02:01:31 [ Lama Norbu's Voice ]
02:01:35 Jesse! Gita!
02:01:39 They are chanting
02:01:42 The beautiful prayer.
02:01:45 Keep it with you
02:01:48 [ Chanting ]
02:01:52 Form is empty.
02:01:55 Emptiness is form.
02:01:57 No eye, ear, nose,
02:02:02 tongue,
02:02:05 body, mind.
02:02:08 No color, sound,
02:02:11 smell, taste,
02:02:15 touch, existing thing.
02:02:48 [ Chuckling Quietly ]
02:02:58 Lama Norbu just said:
02:03:00 No eye, no ear, no nose.
02:03:03 No Jesse, no Lama!
02:03:08 No you!
02:03:10 No death and no fear!
02:03:41 [ Lama Norbu ]
02:03:47 No end to old age
02:03:53 No suffering.
02:03:55 No "cause of"...
02:03:57 or "end to"... suffering.
02:04:02 No path.
02:04:04 No wisdom.
02:04:07 And no gain.
02:04:10 No gain.
02:04:13 Thus bodhisattvas lived...
02:04:16 in perfect understanding
02:04:21 No hindrance,
02:04:23 therefore, no fear.
02:04:26 Far beyond deluded thoughts.
02:04:31 This is Nirvana.
02:05:03 - I can't get it open.
02:05:08 This is
02:05:12 This is Lama Norbu.
02:05:21 [ Dean ]
02:05:34 Come on, Lisa.
02:05:36 Okay, I'm coming!
02:05:39 I only wish we had
02:06:53 I can hear him kicking!
02:06:56 Or her.
02:07:00 Hey, Jesse.
02:07:04 Yes.
