Circa 1391 western Tibet: Bandits raid a nomadic family. The mother hides her newborn baby under a rock to protect him. When two hungry foxes come to prey on the baby a huge raven appears and saves the child. That is Nagpapo, the protector deity.

This is the beginning of the lineage and birth of the first Dalai Lama. 

So we begin the series documentary covering the entire Dalai Lama lineage in re-enactments. We then mix it with the interview of H.H the Dalai Lama conducted by two prominent scholars.  Questions such as, your holiness, please tell us the connection between the Dalai Lamas and Avalokiteshvara, Buddha of compassion. Then more scholars, experts, politicians, etc. comment on their experience about Tibet, current Dalai Lama and his succession. In six episodes we cover the spiritual, political and social rise of the Dalai Lama institution whose sole creation was to spread peace and compassion in Tibet and now the world. 

The series will document one of the most important institution of the world, and show us why the Dalai Lama matters. It is not only a lineage of Tibetan Buddhism but also Tibet’s soul. In the current hate filled world the Dalai Lama is a moral giant. China’s intention and their supporters strength can tell their narrative but they will never be able to change history. The past, present and future of the Dalai Lama institution is glorious, and will remain so.

Bhod Gyal lo!
