- Kenrap is eight years old. He is a Buddhist monk and lives in the Phuktal monastery on the peaks of the Himalayan mountains of Zanskar.
Kenrap chose his life away from his family: when he was five, he remembered he was the reincarnation of a 68 year-old monk, and then decided to return to the monastery where he belonged.
Filmed from the point of view of a subjective camera by a young ethnologist, this award-winning film follows this attaching little monk with whom we share moments of intimacy, and gives us a rare glance at Buddhist monastic life.

When asked "You don't want to go anywhere else?". The little kid says,
"We can see everything well from here!"
Its astonishing how they don't desire anything at all even at that tender age.
The language is very similar to our language.we are Himalayan of Nepal 🇳🇵.we haven't luxury facility but we are peace and happy because it's the blessing of Buddha's teaching.
Mustang? I love Mustang
This language is having its root from Tibetan language which is Sino-Tibetan But Nepali language belongs to Indo-European language just like Hindi
Tashi delek Tsering la! 🙏
@@stanzinangmo7012 there r many language in Nepal though Nepali is the official language
Yeah
''If you think you'll fall, you will fall.
If you think you won't fall, then you won't fall.
Everyone has to make their heart strong''
Wow! What an advice from the young monk.
Bizim memlekette biri köprüde selfy çekmek istedi.düşeceğini hiç düşünmedi fakat nehre düştü ve boğuldu.
Pretty cool, yeah.
He's not young. He's old. 68.
@@MSLIB Watch it again 😉
Yes that is absolutly true,🎸
This little monk has more wisdom that today's most educated and intellectuals. I heart fall for these beautiful souls. Imagine if the world is filled with such beautiful, wonderful souls.
Those monk babies literally took my heart away. So pure.
I know nright????? Those Ángels so truth
All babies are so pure
I have watched this masterpiece 07 times. This documentary film is a stress buster and therapeutic.May all beings be free of suffering. As HHThe Dalai Lama said “my religion is simple, my religion is kindness"
Exactly documentaries especially filmed in Tibet are major stress buster and therapeutic.......
Totally agreee. Watched it 4 times here so far
As The Budda said, "Life is suffering, get used to it". If you are an activist fighting for a life free of suffering, you will be fighting a meaningless war and never ending war. May I ask you what Western country you were brought up in please, if you don't mind. If you do, good luck to you and yours. All the best.
Mis mejores deseos para ti hermano i para todos los seres benditos de la madre tierra
ironically,most hypocritically, your dalailama is a serf owner,CIA puppy,political tool, bloody rioter and defector
I’m looking in the teary eyes of the little boy monk with the bump on his cheek and heart breaks for his pain. Such tough life these monks live yet they don’t complain one bit. I wish them all good health and happiness. Always.
A child is a child no matter what, the young monk for moment was a child through his tears I thought please if his mother couldn’t give him the hug he needed I pray someone did because all I saw was the pain of no affection, I wished I could have put arms around him to soothe him and wipe away his tears, such a hard thing to see him try to be brave..it’s almost to harsh a life for someone so young. Sending many prayers to all the children 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️☘️☘️☘️
@@evelynmcconnell6833 I felt the same. I wanted to hug him...
@@evelynmcconnell6833 Stop applying your snowflake culture to others. Western kids are spoilt and became soft. In their harsh isolated environment, one need a tough psychological upbringing.
If you watch again this documentary you'll be surprised of how many smiles are there. So I guess wishing them happiness is not needed. If you watch more closely you'll see that they are very fit and strong. So I guess whishing them health is not needed. I think we should wish for us happiness and health because we have lost our ways in decaying cities from all the stand points. If you disagree is not the time for you to understand it
@@evelynmcconnell6833
I totally agree how we feel however buddhism revolves around the belief that all emotions and everything in fact is just temporary
,'Change-the only constant '.. is one of the core principles taught by Buddha himself.. as everything else just leads to more ignorance🙏🏻🙏🏻
Salute to the photographer and the team who has offered me such a fascinating documentary, hats off to the little boy.
Think u won't fall and you won't fall. Wow !! What an advice from a little child 👍🏻👍🏻
I don't know why, every time I watch a documentary about Zanskar people I always cry. Strong people. Beautiful soul, beautiful mind. May they always be healthy and happy.
Greetings from Indonesia🇮🇩
@Langit Biru Maybe a connection to a past life for you 🙏🌟💜
Visit zanskar i from here
Even I was crying while looking ds video
people who feel others pain is because you are an empath with a heart and soul, and cos you are them too, bothers and sisters, thats is our connection 🙏🙏🙏🌈🌈🌈💎💎💎
Tears wash the soul ...it is hard to realise we are a collection of atoms vibrating ...when we are mindful of this and deny ego ,even momenterly ...in that momrnt we are free .
As a mother, I just wanted to give the little boy with mumps such a big hug. It seems such a harsh life, and the boys are so stoic. It's all they have known, but a little more affection for these children wouldn't go amiss. I appreciate documentaries such as this, which show the less romanticised side of Buddhism.
Seems pretty romantic to me
Incredible film. It touched my heart so deeply...the first time I cried watching a documentary film. Kenrap is definitely a reincarnated old monk, his character and wisdom at such a young age, beautiful soul...and a role model for me who is old enough to be his grandma.
This gives a lot of hope to the world.
Tibet and India are both seeking God in a very peaceful manner and effective way too.
The dedication of these very young children as a monk to live at the monastery and their self discipline is so amazing
Non possono scegliere.
They don’t really have a choice, it’s ordained by their place in the family.
@@tanjaosilic6641
❤Yes,my thoughts also
The tears in the boy's eyes,speaks alot.God bless all those beautiful heart...
Exactly😥🤬
No complaining.
I'm form Bhutan
I'm really happy seeing this video
Would love to visit Bhutan and Tibet. Tashi deleg.
Humbling, the petty cares go out the window, the needs become obsolete, what is important is doing prayers & remembering there are Souls suffering in this world who need understanding. I kept thinking how western children are very spoiled & way more than they need yet nowhere near as happy as these young Monks, those smiles & giggles are Heart warming. Respect 🙏
"Make your heart strong! Think that you won't fall, and you won't fall. If you think you'll fall, then you will fall." So smart and inteligent boy.
Love you all little brothers in Samsara. You're so pure in your hearts and souls. You'll become stronger and be great spiritual leaders in the future.
I remember my childhood I was Monk and I know that's time very suffering but I was very happy and peaceful love from Nepal 🇳🇵
Live is suffering
Beautiful film. Is the little monk singing? Beautiful voice, beautiful song. I love this type of films, so relaxing and peaceful to watch
Such a strong boy!I am Soo proud of you lil boy!May you always rise and shine❤️
When u cried at ur home,it says that ur cheeks aren’t paining but actually you aren’t happy going away from ur family !
Anyhow u made it n happily went back to monastery!
Sending you Lots of love lil one!🤗❤️❤️❤️
I used to work in a Forest Kindergarten in Germany and there was a kid, which was exactly like him..
I think about him a lot.
He was very free of everyone and enjoyed Life by himself like no other.
He really changed something inside of me and the more I write the more I am about to cry. I really miss this kid.
So grateful these beings coexist somewhere on this planet... For the time I was given with him.
I deeply wish, that you will encounter a kid like this one in your life too.
I have seen many videos of Buddhist monasteries but while looking ds documentary I prayed nd wished my next birth in nd around ds monastery... Felt blessed...
Idk what it is, I have such a spiritual connection with these people. I am a plain, Caucasian girl from NY in the USA and live off watching these amazing docs! I have studied their religion as best I can with the resources available. Their strength and connection with the earth and elements is not super human, but what ever human should have. It never leaves me, on a harsh cold day here I literally have visions I am in Sanzkar or Tibet in the Himalayas fighting a storm to get to my destination and I swear my soul leaves my body every time.
Great to see some of the old faces from your previous documentary "Himalaya, Land of women". Always a delight to watch your documentaries Marianne Chaud. You are a fantastic director and I like the way you live like you're one of them. I hope to visit Zanskar some day.
This documentary will break your heart but then melt it back together…….such beautiful people….if only the rest of the world were like these extraordinary people ♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏
Impossible. 8 BILLION humans is about 6.5 BILLION too many.
@@earthangel8730 eco-fascism really isn't the way. the earth has enough to feed and clothe us all, it's capitalism and consumerism and colonialism that twist human nature to make us seem bad.
This is one one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen, so beautiful, loving, unassuming -- with such maternal love. You just love this boy, don't you?
I think this is the French ethnologist who lived in Zanskar for 3 years amongst the villagers, and learned the language.
Thank you SLICE for sharing this beautiful video on the simplicity of these tibetian monks ... Life for them is still fun and daily routines which they do not grumble and are happy to do what they have to do in this isolation ... Amazing bunch of kids and the leaders who try to groom them to be good monks ...
Life of these monks is so beautifully captured, not much remains to be said. The little old monk always smiling and so playfull. I am in love with the video and the place.
Monk Children,..pure joy,..absolute Soul Beaming Joy.
what a beautiful simple life.. God bless them all
Do you fancy that life for you and yours? Just curious my friend.
I'm not sure what to make of this
Brainwashing takes many forms... and this world is cruel everywhere
He"s little teary eyes speaks a lot and broke my heart, because I think that he is not happy going away from his Family😔
This is absolutely fascinating...I found myself not able to break away one min. My heart was sad for the little monk with tears in his eyes. I will be watching again most definitely. Beautiful documentary.
Brilliant documentary, it is good to see how the monks live and also the young boys learn from the older monks.
Stark, threadbare beauty, courageous open heartedness...a life worth living!
This documentary is out of this world! The harshness of the environment builds resilience, endurance and self-confidence. The people there are truly remarkable! Thank you for sharing it.
My heart aches with his tears. What a life for the young boy.
Awe this was so beautiful to witness. Just love the soul shine of Grandpa Monk. His inborn qualities & shing shing are of most high vibrations resonance. An old sage of a soul wise full of life & compassion.💗
Loved every single thing about this documentary
A masterpiece of a documentary 👌👌👌👌
I am from a village in the Karakoram mountains in Pakistan. I love the videos of SLICE. We speak the Balti language which is the nearest relative of Ladakhi language.
How many people does live in your village?
Wow you must have an interesting life! 🥰
@@nonstopenglish , there are around 1500 people in my village. My whole district consists of villages.
@@starryeyes2810 , on one side our lives are interesting but it is hard too. Specially the winters are extremely harsh due to the extreme cold.
@@FarmanAli-mq4qq how do you speak so good english? can I come to visit 🙌
I hope we can follow this boy throughout his journey as a monk in this monastery.
Warm and comfortable are relative terms. Kudos to the film maker. What a people!
That little boy is amazing! What a beautiful little soul 💕
May God keep all these pure souls safe from all the obstacles and always filled their mind with positivity and eternal bliss which they have right now for forever. Thank you slice for such a beautiful heart touching documentary.
People can come to India these places are reachable nearby our capital NewDelhi,We have safe and secure atmosphere for our Guests.This Ladhak region, Dalai Lama is also in India his great great teacher.
My Lama is in India. I miss him. 🙏❤🙏
This video remind me of my old days ,when i used to be a little boy.my village,my region in those old days and all those playing with mud ,cold ❄️ winter ,all these .i watched 3times repeatedly
i love his voice when he sings... so nice
what a beautiful life, beautiful hearts, true examples of how we should all be.❤️❤️❤️
What a beautiful documentary, Love from the valley itself(Ladakh)❤️
This Lil Himalayan monk has my whole heart 💗 v thoughtful at this age, loved it so much, thank you so much for shooting and sharing this documentary... Lots of love ❤️✨
Fascinating doc. I visited Tibet in 1998 and love the people. While China modernizes it to exploit the resources, I hope they can hold on to their traditions. I have seen firsthand how they are treated as inferior by the Chinese. Om mani padme hum
FREE TIBET!
This is India not Tibet
An absolute Masterpiece.. Tears came flowing as i watched the young monk and he was so strong in his will and determination. Learnt a lot from this amazing documentary.
Thank you for this outstanding documentary
Great to learn about the diversity of cultures.
People constantly complaining about little things need to watch this
I wish we could have the little song towards the end .... so soothing in itself just like the whole episode.
This is an outstanding masterpiece of a documentary!!! I LOVE THIS CHANNEL SO MUCH…..BEST ON U TUBE!!! I totally get lost watching these documentaries!! You never fail to deliver! Love a binge watch now and then. Thank you🙏🏻🥰❤️💜💙💜💞💕❤️💕💞💜💙
If there are any peace of the earth like to heaven it’s ZANSKAR .love it❤️🌺🙏🏻
I've been to Tibet 5 times in the last 30 years and each time I am still so fascinated with the simple & humble attitude of these people. They accept their life and idealistic of being on born to try achieve enlightement ... I believe 99% of Tibetians don't have greed and will just carry on till its time for them to go and hope for better reincarnation ...
It's the power of Buddha teaching.
Otherwise they'll also greedy like cities people over the worlds.
@@tseringkaljan8791 I am a Buddist myself ... Yes - I see my circle of friends and even ppl I meet in the temple are helpful and generally kind but I doubt many amongst us can practise and consistently be as humble and accept what they have AS IT IS ... We keep striving for better and try to achieve more success so we can enjoy material stuffs - you know to have more comfort, bigger house, holidays in comfort & the list can go on ... etc etc
Even as I get older and if after the pandemic and I wish to visit Tibet & Bhuttan again it will be tough now as to climb those rough temple stairs and even their grounds is an achievement not to mention to eat the local food ... I've been to Tibet so many times and until today I cannot get used to eating their local staple of wheat floor with milk ..
Tibetians are really an amazing bunch - God Bless them
@@michelleooi8386 wow sounds good.
I am from Himalaya of 🇳🇵 Nepal,near to upper Tibet.in my village no 🛣️, no vehicle 🚜,no electricity 🔌,no modern technology effects.totally weak facility but villagers are living within very peace and happy more than cities lifestyle.i became Buddhist monk at 20 age.studies so harder about Buddhism because it's not easy to understand because Buddhism very profound even my age is also not perfect because I never been studies anything until 20 age.but by the great blessing of Buddha, dharma and Sangh community my realization about Buddhism is pretty good but never ever enough.i want practice continuously until last breath of mine.yes Tibet is beautiful country and Tibetan are nice human being,it's all the blessings of Buddha and his teaching because you know and I know because there has authentic or real histories.before Buddhism spread in Tibet they were also too rude people but after many great masters include many great kings tried harder to invited the Buddha's teaching in Tibet as translated then Tibet gradually be more peace and happiness prevailed around.from 🇳🇵 kathmandu.take care.
@@michelleooi8386 sorry,my English isn't good.maybe people can be misunderstanding.
@@tseringkaljan8791 Thank you very much for sharing your experiences with me dear Tsering Kaljan. I wish you all good blessings and I do hope you'll achieve your deep understanding of Buddhism and also your practise a a good monk. The 5 times I've been to Tibet and was briefed each time on your country history, I still find that I not not familar and need to read more - BUT for me, I don't like to read too much and prefer to watch any videos I can find that share the culture, the country and its people in Tibet. Those that I like, I can watch and rewatch many times.
The first time I visited Kathmandhu, I had a very good tour guide - Dawa Tsering Sherpa and since then, I will usually just call him to arrange the land tours for me & my friends. Even Kathmandhu - I've visited like 6 times and been to Kalimpong, Darjeeling, Shikkim, Gantok but still very fascinated with overall Tibet.
But as compared to the 1st time I step foot in Llhasa city and the Potala Palace 25 years ago - there is such a drastic change since China took over ... I miss the old Potala Palace with the lake but now all cement and commercial shops ... the plus point of China take over is when I had the 4-wheel drive across Tibet - WE had mobile signal all the way during our 14 days tour even at the three highest passes we crossed.
Guess in Tibet, most of you are not affect by the Covid-19 pandemic : As for the rest of the world, it was tough and even affected the whole Country economy and made many sick, die and even poor - As business & shops have to shut down and the country do so many times of LOCKDOWN.
But how time flies and its been two years so its become a lifestyle for many of us to adapt to the situation. My only stress is now I am unable to travel for the last two years ... and I do hope all will be back to normal soon ... U Take Care Stay Safe
The cultures of the Subcontinent and Beyond, so beautiful, so diverse, so unique, yet we all live together harmoniously.
Me being a Bengali hindu, finally finding myself in a Tibetan Buddhist Monastery, shows the kind of diversity and societal integration that we have in this land!
Brothers from the Himalayan sky~
we Macedonians from the Great Lightness of Heaven have been hearing the same bells for thousands of years. Mother Macedonia is praying for you brothers ~
I've cried watching this. This is so striking beautiful. Loved theses people with all my heart. I really would like to die in a place like this monastery. Thank you, and greetings from Brazil.
That little boy its been forced to go back to the monastery, you can tell in his tears and expression..
What a sweet movie! Om Mani Padme Hum!
OMG. Amazing brilliant kid. What special extraordinary people.
Thank you for such wondefful documentary. Life is SIMPLE and beautiful thru the eyes of a child.
He says: "Tell your heart you won't fall" and will listen... Wisdom on every word❤
So intense and powerful film, Kenrap is unbelievable. ♥️🇳🇵💯
These Tibetan were so nice and kind to us . God bless them
Tough life tough people mentaly strong
How is it to walk for days in a dangerous trail and yet feeling so excited and happy! Mystical...
Tears in my face. Thanks for sharing.
I really enjoyed this but there was an underlying issue nagging at me. The "young ethnologist" makes inexcusable errors throughout. The biggest problem was asking the mother about not being around her son and if it made her sad. She did that in front of the child. Then she did it again. She also did it to the boy several times, as if she wanted them to feel the pain of their separation. The next thing you know the kid is crying and blaming it on the mumps, but it was the "young ethnologist" that instigated those tears. Why? It was uncool for sure. She asked him again from couple of different angles when they left the house to return to the monastery Finally, when the kid is walkiing on tricky terrian she starts talking to him about falling.
I think the "young ethnologist " needs therapy.
Typical stupid western behaviour 🤮🤮 YOU HAVE TO BE ........ YOU HAVE TO BE .......... Always looking and creating problems !
I felt the same. She did not connect to the honesty in which the young monk really pursued and loved the monastic life. instead, she was digging with questions of a "western mind" - to search for drama and painful emotions. "are you not going to leave the monastery"? no. "forever?". she was really searching for the cracks in happiness the child clearly showed.
it's actually not a "western mind" per se, just a very afflicted mind, who was never trained in what brings lasting happiness and what is non beneficial for one's life. So she attaches value to painful emotions as if they were real, and thinks that if she manages to revive them then "the truth is revealed".
otherwise, i did enjoyed the movie. their difficult yet obviously happy and satisfying life is admirable. their basic kind heart and is obvious.
Heart cracked wide open by this beautiful film and stunning photography. Thank you for the insight and wisdom to document this brief look at the lives of these young men.
This is called life THE LIFE 🖤🖤🖤🚩🚩🚩🚩🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
I love my Ladakh, and I proud , I am a BUDDHIST
Just so this beautiful documentary. I’m without words. Today 2022, and in this same planet,people live with so litle.
The sick litle boy ,had me in tears . I was a lucky kid, and a fortunate person. God protect all. 💕💕💕💕🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
i am never disappointed with slice docs. superior!!
That beautiful masterpiece at 41:22 in the background is soo soothing and the documentry is beyond the word offcourse.
The young monk is such a wise and brave soul.
I really felt for the little boy at 40:48. What a horrible place to have Mumps. NOBODY should tk life for granted. Especially life in America where you have access to everything. These people are way more stronger than most.
They had medicine. Don’t be condescending.
❤Again I am watching this history.I can watch it endless...Thank so much from Russia 🇷🇺❤️
Our world is really an amazing place.
Yes……but it is a shame about some of the people that live in it! 🥰
Absolute masterpiece ...I really appreciate Angmo ly for such an overwhelming video ...every moment is special in this video
What an amazing video those young monks what a life they lead have strong faith no easy lifestyle we take for granted 🙏
They white teeth n sweet smile tell everything......
Another beautiful film from Slice thank you!
Тибетцы они-кремни!, живут в жестких условиях ,которых современному человеку не выжить,они такие искренние белозубые улыбки!,они знают смысл жизни ,владеют многими знаниями и всю жизнь посвящают себя учениям.
Super ❤️ also the background song " too too too tootoo too" ❤️
Dank voor de mooie documentaire, God bless them all .
Glad to see familiar faces from the "Himalayas land of Women." Your amazing content keeps me coming back for more.. Power on Marianne Chaud! 🇵🇭
Amazing!! Thank you so much for making this masterpiece
Awesome,Beautiful beyond words.
The film's greatness lies in it's SIMPLICITY.
Absolute masterpiece of film making.
tears in little monk kenrap made my heart cry
magical is the only word I can express.......
