Journey Into Tibet


I'm creating this blog so people can get a copy of my documentary Journey Into Tibet with Robert Thurman.

Journey Into Tibet
Robert took 25 people on a trip to Tibet a few years back, we began in Lhasa, visited Samye monastery, the main monasteries of Lhasa including Drepung and Nechung, we visit the Barkor and the statue of Buddha that was made in his lifetime in the Jokhang.  Robert narrates the trip along the way - as we visit the Potala Palace and other sites in Lhasa.  

In Lhasa
From there we pack up our gear and travel to Gyantse, site of the Kumbum, and Shigatse with the monastery of the Panchen Lama Tashilumpo - from there we go across Tibet to Mt. Kailash, and circumnavigate the sacred mountain and eventually wind up camping by sacred Lake Mansarovar.

Atop the pass next to Kailash
If you've ever wanted to travel to Tibet from the comfort of your couch, this is the opportunity to do so.  You can find the documentary for sale here: https://www.createspace.com/254088
