DVD Reviews of Mystic Tibet: An Outer, Inner and Secret Pilgrimage
DVD Review: Not my cup of tea
Summary: 2 Stars
This documentary of a pilgrimage to holy sites of Central Tibet in 2002 with Lama Zopa and 50 (!) of his Western students could have made for an interesting story, but it turns out it will probably appeal mainly to people from that group (and the wider FPMT family). Tibet is a wonderful land - a mix of tough, strong and simple landscapes, peoples and religious devotions, and it has an interesting and engaging history. Unfortunately this film never gets much beyond the surface drama of this group of modern devotees. The filming is okay, but a bit amateurish, and the pilgrimage looks to be rather tame as well - no feeling for the kind of spiritual challenges a pilgrim often has (my pilgrimage experiences have always involved some form of death-rebirth, and not remained all idealistic and romantic like this one does). There is a lot of idealized projection onto Tibet these days (well, for the past century or so, by both Westerners and Tibetans), but I find this "Magic and Mystery" view of Tibet tiresome and superficial. Below the surface of Tibet's simple and austere land and culture is a rich and complex history - it is, like anywhere, a mix of good and bad, silly and sublime. This documentary conveys none of this complexity and ambiguity.
