This beautiful story is a testament of all the good that can come when people are treated with respect and appreciate all they can learn from each other and of the desire of parents to give their children a better life. On the invitation and prayers of tribal leaders, the Dalai Lama travels to a poor and remote Muslim village at the India Pakistan border. More than a symbolic gesture, the visit results in an invitation by the Dalai Lama to provided a modern education to children from the village while insuring their religious and cultural heritage. The trust and love between the two groups is a lesson on how so little can mean so much. Without this film, this amazing story would never be known or seen. |
