The short film shows Ringu Tulku* not only as a Buddhist master and teacher – it also offers a personal, humorous and honest insight into his family and working life. It shows Ringu Tulku preparing four students for a retreat which lasts three years, three months and three days, in Sikkim, North India. Spending time with the Lazy Lama gives the audience the opportunity to reflect on their own lives, and find ways to create more room for spirituality, meditation, empathy and the right kind of “laziness”.
*Ringu Tulku is teaching live at Rigpa’s National Retreat in January 2023.
Pad Yatra: A Green Odyssey weaves ancient Buddhist spiritual traditions, global environmentalism and Tibetan and Himalayan culture into an award-winning documentary led by His Holiness Gyalwang Drukpa. The movie gives unprecedented access into religious communities rarely seen on film.
An inspiring model of personal and collective responsibility for our planet. Shot by solar power by a Himalayan monk, Ngawang Sodpa.
