A Prophecy and the Fields of the Senses

A Prophecy
A graceful documentary on the Dalai Lama and the changing structure of his theocracy today. Filmed in Sera - the second largest monastery of the old Tibet - and in Dharamsala, the present headquarters of the Dalai Lama's administration in exile, the film portrays the devotional and working life of the monks and the lay people. It examines the nature of the Dalai Lama's political and spiritual vision and displays the marriage initiated by him between Gandhian, socialist, and democratic ideologies.
