- Based on the book "Seven Years in Tibet" by Heinrich Harrer
You all should read the book. It's one of the best books I've read in my life. This video is so weak in comparison. Buy the book at amzn.to/3REoJJZ. Or get it from your local library or something. Just read it! You won't regret it.
This is a miracle to see!. I know now I am blessed to be able to see this film and find it on you tube. Thank you for posting it for those of us fortunate enough to find it! His Holiness has been on my mind allot this past year. I pray more these days and wish him health , peace and safety now and everlasting. Many blessings to all beings. Enlightenment for all.
I agree.
May the Dreams and Aspiration of Tibetans come True ✨️
As an American who became a monk in a Tibetan lineage, I can assure you that they do not think of the Dalai Lama as a god. Buddhas are not gods. The Dalai Lama is considered to be an emanation of the Buddha of Compassion, Chenrezig. Their music sounds nothing like it is depicted here. However, it is amazing to watch images from so long ago. And, it is fascinating to watch a Westerner interact with and interpret their ancient culture.
Heinrich Harrer himself was literally friends with the Dalai Lama, and the Dalai Lama wrote a forward to the book Seven Years in Tibet. So when the book Seven Years in Tibet repeatedly says that the locals literally believed that the Dalai Lama is god, I'll take it seriously. Perhaps the teachings of the Tibetan lineage have changed since the fifties?
No. I would consider that a lack of good translation and depth of understanding. No harm. If what you say is true, God is the word that was agreed upon. Maybe that was the best they could do for that moment. I have never met a lama who would consider any Buddha to be a god or God, especially the Dalai Lama. HHDL has accidentally laughed in peoples' faces for making that kind of mistake in more recent decades. He did that once accidentally on purpose to Pope John Paul. A creator god, to the Dalai Lama, is a preposterous and silly idea which makes him laugh vociferously quite frequently. He's a giggler, that one.
I am a Hindu. We believe the Dalai Lama to be an avatar, the Buddha of Compassion. To me he is a reflection of God, perfect and wise. A friend accidentally met him in a hotel lift. Her husband was the general manager. She was compelled by his presence and reached out and touched his cheek. She told me images of her family flashed before her eyes and she felt a sense of his peace and compassion. He simply smiled at her.
I have no doubt about Him. He is what we try to attain…
..... perhaps he would suck on your tongue if you asked him....
@@pigwilliam.....👍 his holiness
I can't believe I'm seeing this. This movie has been on my amazon shopping list for several months and I will still buy the DVD. This is my favorite book, I've read it 3 times and I also love the 1997 movie. Thanks for posting
I also love the book, I've read it about 5 times. I am fascinated by the Himalayas,the snowy peaks, high altitude, silence, lakes, plateau, wildlife, flora, people, cultures, monasteries with beautiful paintings, sculptures and ancient manuscripts.
Another excellent example of CZcams platform utilization.
I've read this book and seen both movies. This book and others awakened me to other views. I'm Christian with a Zen practice. I've traveled a little. To the younger watchers give your dreams value and honor them when you can. Listen;) ! Sward

I am fascinated by zen and its influence on japanese aesthetics,art,garden design,calligraphy,poetry,black ink paintings,statues. Love asian art in general,specially buddhist Thangka paintings, hindu and buddhist sculptures in stone,metals,wood and butter, indian,afghan,tibetan and bhutanese music
I also read this book about 55 years ago. Still remember it very well, but why buy the DVD? I make videos of my own and upload them. Some people like them and watch them for free which doesn't bother me. Just happy that someone appreciates them as I have appreciated seeing this video.
I read this wonderful book many years ago in college.
Ordinary citizens of enemy nations should be returned to their countries.
Tibet must be freed from CCP.
The US must be freed from the Mexicans.
I came here straight away after watching Nomadic Indian's channel. before this i never knew that a movie existed by the name of "seven years in Tibet".thanks Nomadic Indian for this amazing and fantastic film.

many thanks for sharing
I lived curious about the Monk or Buddha life, and has throughout the years passed searched and found enlightenment, on the practices of life as a Monk, or a Buddha.
Thanks to CZcams.
Not afraid of death , in no hurry, at peace with life. How can corporate exploit that ?
Remarkable video.
Great video
gracias un viaje
35:36 beautiful falls ! It's Krimmler Wasserfälle, Austria 😂😂
Because of gold now china is rich now.1950 china was poor. They took our gold.about gold their is many geographic about tibetan history
The benign demons were overcome by the malicious demons of materialism in the form of communism. It is heartbreaking.
China did take Tibet out of the darkness of religion into a world of light- materialisme is bad but
a life ass slaves of the religion and those it feed is worse. Call it communism, I do not care about the name of the system but cares about what it brings to the people.
@@yusufbych6308 Religion isn't darkness, totalitarianism is. Tibetans love their religion, it is central to their lives and culture. Killing thousands of people, gulags, concentration camps and torture does not lead to liberation. Justifying this in the name of a soulless doctrine is a crime.
@@yusufbych6308 I wondered how long it would take for one of these apologists for crimes against humanity in the name of doctrinaire socialism or communism to show up. You people just can't let it go even after being proved to not work over and over.
Thank you. Sooo interesting.
Quite an unique film
Wow escaping into that mountain. Stages type scenario.
Well. I'll be jiggered. Not the Brad Pitt version. I had no idea this existed.
I had trekked this route in 1982 until the indo Tibet border. It was a very difficult route
But did you have the British government on your back, as an additional challenge?
G ,if you're not quick n the blank of an eye one would normally miss these gem's 👍
Chinese government banned the movie with this name, because they don’t recognize that Tibet is an independent country.
Seven Years in Western China...
I watched this Seven Years in Tibet where the actor was brad pitt
That movie is based on this one.
Wao
See any chynese around?
Tibet is too peacefull and that is their downfall, but they believe they can overcome with these peacefull principals

I really like these old movies, but the background music can be really annoying , I have noticed in a lot of films from this era, all the dissonant chords.
You're absolutely right about that. I've enjoyed a lot of old films from the early 1930's where there was no background music and barely any even in the opening and closing credits.
@Caroline Barnes the dissonant chords of Hollywood in the forties and fifties have an interesting backstory. In fact, the classical composers who survived world war one decided that music was partly to blame for the chaos of 1914 - 18. Crazy, huh. People trying to find answers to the inexplicable can come up with surprising conclusions. Their conclusion: get rid of all the ''old precepts' of classical music and bring in atonal music. Thats the awful sound we heard on a lot of movie soundtracks of the era, from many European emigre composers who subscribed to the atonal revolution. Trying to change the world through music, by turning everything upside down. Weird but true.
@@pipfox7834 Thank you for that explanation, I had no idea. Only people cut off from their roots, their own hearts and feelings trying to control everything through the intellect could come up with such a bizarre idea!
Don’t watch them then. Have some respect for the things that came before you.
@@coimbralaw It is not disrespectful to state a preference, I am sure you. like everybody else has them.
It is not movie

I listened to a Tibetan hermit who said the reason Nepal and Tibet have so many holy men and women is that these countries are poor, and by encouraging abstinence and chastity, and poverty as ''a path to a higher plain of existence'' they keep the population from growing.
He went on to say that choosing not to procreate, is neither holy, nor profane but an act of kindness, allowing others to find the joys of family.
I thought: FINALLY, someone who explains the need for churches and clergy and so called ''holy people.'' They are people who take themselves out of the gene pool, and help to maintain a population within reason in a world that (until recently) had no effective methods of birth control.😉
The human race has absolutely zero need for any type of birth control, in fact we are in desperate need for things to shift in the other direction. Anyone, and I mean anyone who thinks the world is "overpopulated" is an absolute ignorant baboon who hasn't the slightest idea how big this planet trully is, and how easy it would actually be to feed and house each and every human being on this rock. The problem is not space, nor resources, we have both in extreme abundance. The problem, as always, is people in power who are unwilling to give up that power.

Crappy sound track.
This is out of the 50s
While dotted with Christian-centric inaccuracies and exaggerations, this is gem of a film.
what a weird soundtrack, the opening credits! sort of offkey honky tonk piano backed by dramatic western orchestra. Strangest sound ever heard...far stranger than anything in Tibet, maybe!
They were trying to convey "the mysterious, enigmatic East," as Westerners thought of it. As they had no idea what that might be, they plumbed that shallows of their own imaginations. To me it looks and sounds like it could be the opening credits to "Genghis Khan," starring John Wayne.
Chinese government is an embarrassment to mankind.

Фильмец не понравился, кроме документальных кадров мура мурой, смотрите лучше художественный фильм с Брэдом Питтом, там может и присочинили что то, но фильм отличный. Не тратьте время на этот так называемый документальный
