00:01:20 Sonam!
00:01:44 Oh no, not again!
00:02:44 Ladakh, India.
00:02:46 Altitude: 4500m and more...
00:06:13 How long?
00:06:16 Three years, three months,
00:07:38 Tashi,
00:07:40 we are taking you back.
00:08:17 Tashi,
00:08:19 it is time.
00:12:02 Tashi, you pushed it too far.
00:12:41 "How can one prevent a drop of water
00:13:22 Apo is back...
00:13:38 Kala!
00:15:38 - Now, I must leave.
00:15:42 No! I want to go home!
00:15:54 Tashi...
00:15:57 did you cry
00:16:39 Le head lama,
00:16:43 will be performing a
00:16:51 He asks that you attend.
00:18:59 So prince Siddhartha
00:19:05 and luxurious life...
00:19:08 And from his golden chariot...
00:19:11 saw suffering
00:19:21 Thus one night,
00:19:24 prince Siddhartha
00:19:26 decided to leave
00:19:30 Princesse Yashodhara,
00:19:32 and his son, Rahul, and go away.
00:19:37 He left his son?
00:19:40 Well, yes.
00:19:42 Because he wanted to find out
00:19:57 I want to go home!
00:20:28 Tashi, Rinpochey is here!
00:21:25 After twenty years studying
00:21:27 Lama Tashi completed
00:21:31 three years of meditation,
00:21:35 Truly this is the
00:21:52 His Holiness Dhyan Rinpochey
00:21:56 has therefore awarded
00:22:01 the precious Khenpo degree
00:22:05 He's a very good monk!
00:22:43 Kala, you monkey!
00:22:44 Tashi... You spoke!
00:22:48 It was him!
00:23:01 Kala, do you hear me?
00:23:06 Long live Rinpochey!
00:23:10 For Tashi the precious degree of Khenpo...
00:23:15 but for Kala... nothing!
00:23:18 Jhulley! Tashi Delek!
00:24:07 Hail!
00:24:09 Hail!
00:24:12 to the Four Noble Truths!
00:25:46 Who is he?
00:25:47 Tashi.
00:26:14 Hurry up!
00:27:17 Can you tell me what's going on?
00:27:23 Apo, bring Lama Tashi with you
00:27:28 He needs some fresh air.
00:27:41 Tashi, next time you wish to modify a performance,
00:28:49 Welcome!
00:29:16 Jhuley.
00:29:21 Where is Tenzin Thorgay's house?
00:29:23 Right there.
00:29:26 Come, I'll take you there.
00:29:35 Tashi Delek, jhulley, welcome.
00:34:58 Apo?
00:35:03 My head...
00:35:07 Last night I have...
00:35:12 Yes, I know.
00:37:52 So is Tashi still dreaming?
00:38:53 You see, even you can be angry.
00:39:38 Here, the map.
00:39:42 It is time to choose.
00:39:55 Kala!
00:40:30 Kala!
00:42:10 When did you
00:42:40 Jhulley, Tashi Delek!
00:42:44 Jhulley, I am Tashi.
00:42:48 The venerable Khenpo Apo sends me.
00:42:52 No speech?
00:42:54 Understood.
00:43:17 Thank you.
00:46:54 Every experience helps
00:47:57 Where is Apo?
00:48:36 Even He was allowed
00:48:40 until he was 29!
00:48:52 But since the age of five,
00:48:56 I've been living like Buddha
00:49:01 How do we know
00:49:05 that His Enlightenment
00:49:07 was not a direct result of
00:49:13 Apo!
00:49:15 What about the promised freedom
00:49:18 And where is the promised satisfaction
00:49:24 "You should not accept
00:49:29 "unless and until
00:49:32 "from your own point of view",
00:49:43 There are things
00:49:46 in order to learn them.
00:49:51 And there are things
00:49:55 we must own
00:50:42 Your dream back in the village
00:51:00 But...
00:55:37 Kala! It's me!
00:56:28 Come see me tomorrow.
00:57:01 Dolma,
00:57:04 we have another mouth to feed.
00:57:06 A nomad.
00:57:09 until the harvest was done.
00:57:11 That way, I'll have less work.
00:57:14 And of course,
00:57:48 Sujata, here.
00:57:50 Oh mother,
00:57:51 I need some more.
00:57:56 Pema...
00:57:59 Go bring some food
00:58:05 And tell him he can even
00:58:16 Enough, father!
00:59:05 Hey Mister!
00:59:06 Take a little rest,
00:59:08 make a little break for lunch.
00:59:41 Pema!
00:59:43 Pema, wait!
00:59:45 Don't tell me you
00:59:49 No, I did it for myself as well.
00:59:52 But why?
00:59:55 I am sorry
00:59:57 Shhh... Pema please.
01:00:01 Maybe I was wrong
01:00:03 but all I wanted to do was
01:00:06 to comfort you for a moment.
01:00:13 And look now!
01:00:21 Are you sure that it was
01:00:26 If it is so,
01:00:28 then I'll be gone
01:00:31 before the sun rises.
01:06:32 From now on you will go out wearing this!
01:07:08 I gave you a job and this is
01:07:14 Oh, is it you!? Forgive me!
01:07:19 Why are you asking for forgiveness?
01:07:21 He used to be a Lama,
01:07:39 Mum...
01:07:41 Slowly...
01:08:35 Pema,
01:08:38 what are we going to do?
01:08:41 You family has already accepted
01:08:50 I know.
01:08:56 I have nothing else but you.
01:09:03 An astrologer will come tomorrow,
01:09:19 Pema, but why an astrologer?
00:00:12 So fix it for that day.
00:00:31 Please tell me,
00:00:33 whom the wedding is with?
00:00:36 With whom?
00:00:44 Jamayang came to see me
00:00:52 and requested me to come here
00:00:54 to fix the wedding date
00:00:57 of Pema and Tashi.
00:01:23 Why?
00:01:28 Jamayang?
00:01:33 Even if the decision was
00:01:38 you wouldn't have married me anyway!
00:01:41 Would you?
00:02:12 The woman will dominate!
00:02:14 The woman will dominate!
00:04:48 Hey, stop, eat now!
00:06:06 Something is wrong.
00:06:13 Who is he?
00:06:14 My husband!
00:06:27 What's going on?
00:06:30 After all the years
00:06:32 Tenzin, you allow him
00:06:37 Now you can cry, my son.
00:06:46 You better start building
00:06:48 You're going to need a lot
00:07:08 Tashi, we're satisfied
00:07:13 Besides, you have to sell it to him.
00:07:15 No one else comes to this valley!
00:07:18 Let me take the harvest to town!
00:07:22 We'll teach Dawa a lesson!
00:07:31 And what makes you think
00:08:16 What is that?
00:08:18 For a safe journey.
00:09:09 One ticket, five Rupees.
00:09:13 Two tickets, ten Rupees.
00:10:17 You see, even notes don't
00:10:26 Wow, incredible!
00:10:55 Guess what?
00:10:58 Now the bank-notes
00:11:25 Your father's gone with Tashi.
00:11:27 I know.
00:11:35 Don't you understand!
00:11:38 Why change a traditional practice?
00:11:41 Dawa always bought
00:11:44 It's dangerous to oppose him.
00:11:50 Jamayang. Go fetch my mother!
00:11:55 Quick!
00:12:37 Now who would this be?
00:12:41 It's me!
00:12:45 So it seems you've been to town?
00:12:47 We've been working.
00:12:49 I can see that.
00:12:50 Hiding your grain?
00:12:53 That's easy.
00:12:56 You better remember that.
00:13:00 Besides, what did I tell you?
00:13:03 He's ruining the whole valley!
00:13:07 Look at you!
00:13:09 Bastards.
00:13:24 It's Pema! The baby's coming!
00:13:32 No! Women only!
00:13:46 I see...
00:14:47 What a beautiful boy!
00:14:52 Are you a Tulku, Karma?
00:15:39 So it's settled?
00:15:42 Sujata's next.
00:15:44 No!
00:15:46 Keep all the money!
00:15:47 Just keep passing it on to me!
00:15:50 Pema knows what to do.
00:15:51 She always pays me
00:15:54 And how long has that been?
00:15:57 I am nineteen...
00:16:01 Figure out the rest!
00:16:38 Your money!
00:16:41 I wish you a safe return.
00:16:44 See you next year!
00:18:17 Karma, that's very good.
00:18:37 This wood is so heavy...
00:18:43 Oh, you're still carrying it!
00:19:05 What's inside, Apa?
00:19:07 - Meat.
00:19:10 From a goat.
00:19:12 Did you have to kill the goat
00:19:14 Yes.
00:19:16 But mother says
00:19:19 not even an insect!
00:19:20 We didn't kill the goat.
00:19:31 Why didn't we kill the
00:19:37 Stop talking and eat, Karma.
00:19:45 Stop! Wear something warm.
00:19:47 Let him go.
00:19:48 But it's freezing outside!
00:19:51 Let him find that out.
00:19:55 It is freezing!
00:20:20 So you see,
00:23:01 Is everything all right?
00:23:06 It's just... the migrant workers.
00:23:09 Maybe we don't need
00:23:13 I sometimes wonder if
00:23:17 They cost so much money!
00:23:21 I want you to tell me
00:23:25 what will happen to that stick.
00:23:30 It will drown!
00:23:34 Suppose it doesn't.
00:23:44 It will get stuck...
00:23:47 in the rocks!
00:23:50 Suppose it doesn't get stuck.
00:23:51 We don't really need
00:23:56 What is it you suddenly have
00:23:58 against our poor workers?
00:24:03 It'll stay in the water and rot!
00:24:05 No.
00:24:08 It will get stuck
00:24:10 ...or it can go down
00:24:12 and break.
00:24:15 Suppose even that doesn't happen.
00:24:19 What then?
00:24:24 Do you give up?
00:24:30 The answer's simple.
00:24:32 The stick will reach the sea!
00:24:34 We're all like this stick.
00:24:41 Our world is like a river.
00:24:59 Jamayang, congratulations!
00:25:01 I heard you are soon
00:25:08 By the way...
00:25:12 we're taking our harvest
00:25:14 into town.
00:25:16 Don't you think it's time
00:25:21 I only sell to Dawa,
00:25:24 Think a little,
00:25:26 you know Dawa cheats you.
00:25:29 After all these years...
00:25:32 you still don't know
00:25:34 do you?
00:26:00 We're back! And look!
00:26:15 Apa!
00:26:16 What did you do
00:26:21 He always made his own toys.
00:26:25 Go now!
00:27:08 Jamayang,
00:27:10 Please, you don't need him any more.
00:27:12 Hey stop!
00:27:23 I don't even know why
00:27:30 Jamayang, let him go. Listen...
00:27:32 And prepare yourselves to
00:27:34 Believe me!
00:27:37 You can sell it in
00:27:40 That's the best way.
00:27:41 You chased him away!
00:27:47 Everything you touch,
00:27:50 Dawa!
00:27:53 Jamayang is hot-headed.
00:27:55 He'll calm down once he's married.
00:28:00 and follow his own way.
00:28:22 Ama!
00:28:24 Karma, stay outside please.
00:28:27 Karma, you can come in now.
00:30:10 What's the matter with him?
00:30:11 I told you we shouldn't
00:32:40 Apa says we save
00:32:43 Everyone came to help us.
00:32:48 The whole valley.
00:33:03 It's you, isn't it?
00:33:07 Why would I do a thing like that?
00:33:09 It wasn't me.
00:33:10 Then who?
00:33:12 Take a guess!
00:35:40 You fool,
00:35:44 why don't you try
00:35:47 You think I burnt your field?
00:35:52 No one does suuch things here.
00:35:54 Grow up!
00:36:03 And you guys,
00:36:07 Now why don't you
00:37:37 Are you sure you're old enough
00:37:41 I'm a man now!
00:37:47 For a safe journey.
00:38:15 - Is Pema in?
00:38:17 We leave...
00:38:20 Can I have my money?
00:38:23 Okay.
00:38:43 How old are you?
00:38:47 You ask me that every year!
00:40:14 Be careful, it is fragile.
00:41:31 - I hear something!
00:42:01 Hurry! Pema's coming!
00:42:08 My sari, you tore it!
00:42:11 You must leave now.
00:42:14 Hurry up! Leave.
00:42:16 What are you still doing here?
00:42:21 Calm down.
00:42:22 Why are you so worried?
00:42:58 Look Apa, a pony just like yours!
00:43:03 That's good.
00:43:09 This is for you.
00:43:12 Very nice. Thanks.
00:43:14 Aren't you going to...
00:43:15 Later, I have some work.
00:43:18 ...try it on?
00:44:29 Tashi!
00:44:31 Sonam!
00:44:50 It's about Apo?
00:44:55 When apo knew it was time,
00:45:03 he went to prepare himself
00:45:10 He asked that I accompany him.
00:45:17 We both meditated together
00:45:24 He asked that
00:45:29 I give you this.
00:45:53 I realized now that my
00:45:59 and so I will be
00:46:07 I know that we shall meet again.
00:46:14 Perhaps when we do...
00:46:18 ...you'll be able to tell me
00:46:22 satisfying one thousand desires
00:46:27 Yours, Apo.
00:47:53 I've heard so much about
00:47:56 wild-weddings in your region!
00:47:59 And for your marriage,
00:48:02 but you know
00:48:09 It feels so strange knowing
00:48:16 I won't be coming back
00:48:22 Look after yourself.
00:54:34 Yashodhara...
00:54:43 Do you know that name?
00:54:46 Prince Siddhartha, Gautama,
00:54:52 Everybody knows these names
00:54:55 but "Yashodhara"?
00:55:11 Yashodhara was married to Siddhartha.
00:55:16 She loved him dearly.
00:55:20 One night, Siddhartha left her
00:55:25 and their son, Rahul,
00:55:29 to seek Enlightenment
00:55:39 He did not even say
00:55:49 Yashodhara has shown compassion
00:55:51 for the sick and ailing
00:55:54 long before Siddhartha
00:56:07 Who can say if he owed
00:56:13 Pema...
00:56:25 Perhaps Yashodhara wanted
00:56:39 How can we ever know
00:56:44 if Yashodhara fell victim to anger,
00:56:47 loneliness or bitterness
00:56:52 after Siddhartha left her?
00:57:07 Who even thought about her?
00:57:28 What must she have said
00:57:33 asked the eternal question:
00:57:37 "Where is my father?"
00:57:40 What must she have told him?
00:57:58 How could a mother leave
00:58:00 in the middle of the night?
00:58:03 It is only possible
00:58:09 Tashi... Only for a man.
00:58:20 Yashodhara had no choice
00:58:25 but to lead a life of renunciation.
00:58:34 She cut off her hair
00:58:38 and lived like an ascetic.
00:59:07 Oh Tashi...
00:59:10 If your thoughts towards Dharma
00:59:15 as the love and passion
00:59:20 you would have become a Buddha
00:59:25 in this very life.
00:59:33 Pema,
00:59:37 forgive me.
00:59:40 I am going back with you.
00:59:41 Back where I belong.
