Description: "Teach the Tibetan women sacred dance." His eminence Jamgon Kongtrul asked his student, Prema Dasara. "Bring a group of western women to India to dance for the Tibetans. Inspire them so that they will want to learn."

Prema had been teaching the Mandala Dance of the 21 Praises of Tara to women all over the world. 1998, 50 dancers, musicians and videographers from eleven countries of origin traveled to Indai and Nepal in fulfillment of that request.

Led by Prema Dasara and Anahata Iradah they danced for H.S the Dalai Lama and the entire Tibetan Community in Dharmsala, Indai.

They danced at the Central Insititute of Higher Tibetan Studies in Sarnath and in Bodhgaya where Buddha attained his enlightenment. They danced for the small tulku of HE Jamgon Kongtrul in Nepal. Tibetan women were inspired and joined the dance.

Contents: Also includes the documentary Others Before Self with Jetsuna Prema, director of Tibetan Children's Village. 30 min.
