Precious Guru

*Please read our important information about our Covid-19 safety precautions before visiting.*

Take a beauty-filled journey through the story of Guru Rinpoche, the 8th century Indian yogi who carried Buddhism over the Himalayas into Tibet.

Guru Rinpoche, or Padmasambhava, is not an ascetic monk. He is a wild man who had many lovers. He is a magician who had a miraculous birth, who subdued demons and bound them to the dharma – the Buddhist teachings. This most extraordinary and least well-known story of the great religions also reveals a radically relevant truth – the darker the times, the greater the potential for transformation.

Precious Guru features stunning cinematography and a beautiful soundscape. The compelling voices that tell his story include Tibetan monastics and lay people encountered by the production team on their Himalayan travels, as well as accomplished lamas like Mingyur Rinpoche, western Buddhist teachers like Lama Tsultrim Allione, Lama Glenn Mullin and Professor Robert Thurman.

Filmed in Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal, India, Mongolia and the United States.
