Hello and welcome! Thanks for coming by today. So, I have an idea for a movie that will be unlike anything you have ever heard of, thought of, or have seen. One of the best things about this pitch you’re going to hear is that it is for an animated film project, which allows us to save some costs and yet be even more adventurous.

The tulku system will probably not survive because the Dalai Lama has far less influence than he used to have. This is primarily the result of the People’s Republic of China’s aggressive political maneuverings in Tibet and the resulting weakened state of Tibetan Buddhist culture.

Marquart uses past experiences to describe how the midwest often gets over looked.…

By the age of six Thondup was recognized as the reincarnation of the 13th Dalai Lama after passing a series of test that included sectioning a series of person items once owned by the 13th Dalai Lama (“Brief Biography”).
