Bhutanese writer/director (and Buddhist monk) Neten Chokling Rinpoche’s new film Milarepa, a biopic of the Tibetan mahasiddha who lived and taught during the eleventh and twelfth centuries of the common era, is currently being screened around the world.

Although I have not yet seen the film, I have come away from my exploration of the production’s website with the impression that it might be a tremendous piece of work.

You can view the film’s trailer here. You can also make a reservation for one of the film’s benefit screenings in the United States here.

For more about the life and teachings of Jetsun Milarepa, I recommend this exquisite teaching by the Venerable Bardor Tulku Rinpoche, as well as Lobsang P. Lhalungpa’s sublime translation of The Life of Milarepa.
