Looking for interesting documentaries
    #10891113 -

Along the lines of travel, sociology, psychology, nature, science, etc. Suggestions?

I saw this one doc. about a monastery somewhere (maybe Japan) that looked really cool, but I can't remember the name of it. Any idea what that would be?

Haha geez, thanks. It looks like a lot of those are conspiratorial though and I'm not really into that genre. Can you recommend any good ones you saw that were relatively unbiased, or down to earth?

Rongbuk Monastery was founded in 1902 in an area of meditation huts that had been in use by nuns and hermits for over 400 years. Hermitage meditation caves dot the cliff walls all around the monastery complex and up and down the valley. Mani walls and stones, carved with sacred syllables and prayers, line the paths. The founding Rongbuk Lama, also known as the Zatul Rinpoche, had a reputation of being a remarkable individual, very wise and intelligent and much respected by the Tibetans. Even though the Rongbuk Lama viewed the early climbers as "heretics," he gave them his protection and supplied them with meat and tea while also praying for their conversion.

At Rongbuk, there is a beautiful, large, round chorten, a reliquary with religious significance embedded in its terraced structure and crown of emblems of the sun and moon, symbolizing the light of Buddha's teaching. The chorten dramatically marks this last human dwelling place before one heads up the stark valley to Base Camp. In previous times, the Rongbuk Monastery became very active with the teachings at certain times of the year. It was a site of special pilgrimage during the annual ceremonies with masked dancers. Throngs of the faithful would come from far and wide—some from Nepal and Mongolia—and sit on every level of all the many-tiered flat roofs of the monastery to watch the masked dancers in the great open courtyard. Cymbals clanged amid the ceaselessly overlapping thunder of the long Tibetan trumpets played in relay to accompany the monk dancers in their ritual. These ceremonies were shared with the satellite monasteries across the Himalaya also founded by the Rongbuk Lama. The ceremonies survive to this day, notably at the Sherpa monastery at Tengboche. Rongbuk's vast treasury of books and costumes, which had been taken for safekeeping to Tengboche, were tragically lost in a 1989 fire.

The Rongbuk monastery, situated half-way up the mile-wide, 20-mile long valley at 16,500 feet, is accessible today by vehicle over an obscure, rough track that crosses frozen streams and deep dry washes. In the days of Mallory and Irvine, it took a five-week walk from Darjeeling, in the Indian foothills of the Himalaya, to arrive at this spot. One gradually gains altitude on the high Tibetan plain and, on crossing the last pass, one's entire view is filled with a panorama of the mythically charged horizon: Shishipangma, Mount Everest, and Cho Oyu are among the great peaks that lie ahead.

I saw What The Bleep Do We Know. It was good for entertainment, but they mostly just make stuff up.

i'm not entirely sure about that man...

clearly some of this shit is made up, or at the very least taken out of context.

however, the main points (in my eyes) remain, essentially, true.

that dna and individual biology are changed by emotion, that cymatics is real and works, the you can't observe photons, the structure of our emotional cortex etc etc is all true.

it's like esoteric agenda really, there's a lot of crap mixed up with some very interesting facts, shaken up and re-alligned. just because the message is wrong doesn't make the facts wrong. trust me. i like researching this stuff :laugh:
