Yogis of Tibet

yogis_tibet

A fascinating documentary film focusing on the great yogis of Tibet, and their lives in retreat practicing secret self-transforming physical and mental exercises. Through these techniques they have developed extraordinary control over both mind and body. Normally these yogis are vowed to extreme secrecy to maintain the purity of their practices, but agreed to be interviewed, including one rare demonstration of yogic exercise and ability, to help preserve their fast vanishing culture.

This film includes an interview with the Dalai Lama and scenes from a meditation retreat by two yogis in caves at Lapchi, a place made famous by Milarepa. There are also interviews with many yogis, especially from the Drikung Kagyu lineage. These include the great master Drubwang Konchok Norbu Rinpoche, Chetsang Rinpoche
