From the World Cup in Germany to the remote Buddhist kingdom of Bhutan, three students are on a quest they hope will lead to wisdom. The catch is . . . the teacher. Soccer obsessed, charismatic filmmaker, and citizen of the world, Khyentse Norbu may be one of the world’s most eminent Tibetan Buddhist teachers, but it’s a job description he slyly seems to reject at every turn.
Unofficial news titbit: Dzongsar Khyentse may be visiting South Africa during the World Cup 2010!
No obsession, no fear, no inhibition . . . what more enlightenment do you want? – Dzongsar Khyentse, from the film.
Warm and funny . . . beautifully shot and beautifully pieced together. – Halifax Daily News
