This is the story of the long and difficult journey that followed. Told through the lens of one Bon teacher born in exile -- Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche -- this film reveals something very precious and very old: a rich spiritual heritage, hidden for millennia, whose secret teachings are only now becoming known to the world.

Yet this tradition today may be facing its greatest challenge thus far: to preserve its rich heritage beyond the land of its birth. Written by Anonymous See less
