The basic aspiration is to create a portrait of the Vidyadhara that reflects his unique genius and the major role he played in bringing Tibetan Buddhist teachings to the west. This portrait will include a look at his life in Tibet, an exploration of his “crazy wisdom†teaching approach, his vision of creating an enlightened society through the Shambhala teachings and Dharma Art, and his own unwavering commitment to being a full human being with a completely open heart and mind. The film is intended for world-wide distribution and community use.
