Synopsis:
Reincarnation is just the beginning...Filmed over 14 years, with unprecedented access, Yangsi tells an intimate story of the early life and training of the renowned Tibetan master Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche's recognized reincarnation, or Yangsi.
"Khyentse Rinpoche handed me the torch when I was born. Now is my time to take it." Dilgo Khyentse Yangsi.
Jigme Lhundrup is the “Yangsi”, the reincarnation of a greatly revered Tibetan Buddhist meditation master. He must train to uphold this legacy from the age of four. Even with the loving support of his teachers and family the way forward is not always clear. Questions begin to arise about the place of his tradition in the modern world. Director Mark Elliott's (The Lion's Roar) extraordinary documentary film culminates in the Yangsi's introduction to the world as a young man, when he must fully assume the mantle of his predecessor. It explores everyday life within a mystical tradition and reveals the unusual spirit of the boy at its center.
