Description: Tantra of Gyuto--Sacred Rituals of Tibet is the account of the secret Tibetan Buddhist ceremonies by monks of Gyuto Tantric College. Through ritual and mantric power, the Gyuto monks use sound to effect a specific change in the individual and his environment. By their sheer inherent potency and disciplined execution, these concentrated essential energies bring about direct spiritual phenomenon. It is only in this exceptional time, an age of massive world changes, that the lamas have reversed their traditional practice of secrecy and have allowed certain chants to be heard. Their rituals were filmed by authorization of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, who introduces the ceremonies. The film is prefaced by an account of Tibetan history, narrated by Francis Huxley, that incorporates rare historical footage from the 1920's until the Chinese takeover in 1959 including scenes filmed during the 1933 German expedition to Tibet. -- from box
