Films

In 2005, Rinpoche led a film expedition to the Nangchen region of Eastern Tibet. For the first time, footage of the Tsoknyi Lineage Nangchen Nuns was filmed, which led to an inspiring 28-minute DVD, Journey to Nangchen.   Blessings ~ a feature-length documentary on the Nangchen Nuns of Eastern Tibet by the Pundarika Film Project and Chariot Videos was released in 2009 and is available through Chariot.  In 2012, the new film, When the Iron Bird Flies: Tibetan Buddhism Arrives in the West, was released and has enjoyed a welcome reception at film festivals and other locations around the world.
