"Subordinates Western-style filmmaking to Eastern Wisdom with modest
unforced charm and narrative thrift" -The New York Sun

"An intriguing mixture of spiritual didacticism and old-school
historical entertainment" -New York Magazine

"Rugged backdrops that John Ford would have killed for" -The New Yorker

Together with a small group of monks and dharma friends Neten Chokling
Rinpoche has made a bold, first feature film—Milarepa: Magician,
Murderer, Saint—his rendition of the life story of Milarepa, Tibet's
most beloved spiritual figure. A skillfully crafted revenge drama

Please forward this message to anyone who may be interested in this
film. As we begin to see Tibetans and Buddhists telling their own
stories for the first time on film, it is critical that we turn out to
see the film to show support for Buddhist filmmaking and the
preservation of Tibet's rich cultural history.

"May those who practice the Dharma through asceticism
Harvest immeasurable merits.
To those who encourage others to follow this path,
Immeasurable gratitude is due.
May those who hear my story receive immeasurable blessings.
Through these three immeasurable blessings,
May those who only hear my story achieve liberation,
May those who meditate upon it fulfill their aim."

Milarepa 11th century
