The movie, "BLESSINGS," narrated by Richard Gere and just named an Official Selection for the 2010 International Buddhist Film Festival, tells the story of the Nangchen Nuns of Tibet. During the Cultural Revolution, all 40 nunneries of this thriving tradition were destroyed, and the nuns scattered. Some returned to their nomadic homes, some were sent to work camps. Many didn’t survive. But a few retreated into caves to practice and wait. Twenty years later, this handful of remaining nuns emerged and began to rebuild.This movie tracks Tsoknyi Rinpoche’s journey to Tibet with a group of his western students, and offers a rare and privileged insight into the rich spiritual tradition upheld by the Tsoknyi nuns of Nangchen. It is a story that can help to inspire us all to overcome the limitations of our fears and hesitations -- and to open ourselves to the blessings of a full and authentic life.The movie is being shown FREE of charge at the Omni Shoreham Hotel at 8 pm on Saturday, October 10. The hotel is a block-and-a-half from the Woodley Park/Zoo stop on the Red Line.Tsoknyi Rinpoche III will introduce the film, and a there will be a question-and-answer session at the end.
