So far, the updates: Lama Ringzing (Teacher) is in good health, back in Ladakh. Rinpoche (Pema) is in a monastery in Shimla, continuing his studies. He seems to have grown into a capable monk. Many donations have come through and keep coming through for the monk and his student.

This documentary is truly underrated and deserves a much wider audience. I've seen several documentaries about lama reincarnation, but this one feels so authentic, despite being produced on a very low budget. The deep bond between the tulku and his uncle, a Tibetan doctor, really touched me. Many believe tulkus have only privileges, yet some endure great suffering in their lives.<br><br>I would love to know where he is now and if his uncle is still alive. Please, episode 2!

This is one of the most beautiful documentaries I have ever watched. It shows the devotion of uncle towards rinpoche despite not being blood related. Monk uncle was trying to be strong for rinpoche la but him crying at the end broke me. He was so selfless through this whole journey, even though he, himself was cold but bought gloves only for rinpoche la and not for himself. This documentary taught me a lot of things. Thank you very much. May monk uncle and rinpoche both live a long healthy and a happy life.

Such a sad story but what a beautiful ending. <br>I will always admire the Tibetans for their resilience and positivity.

There’s a gentleness and purity to this film that flows at a pace that we seem to have lost in the modern world. No sign modern communication technology that often interferes with the everyday conversations that are slowly becoming less frequent. It would be lovely to know how Rinpoche was getting on 9 years later. I hope Uncle is still well and gets to see Rinpoches complete his education.

That uncle is probably the greatest human I have ever seen what an amazing person he is

EXCELLENT film making. It's like watching art. The one who captured/directed this should win an award for doing it so beautifully!

I am a Black man from South Africa, I have a 3 year old son who displays many behaviors and abilities that we can't understand, for example he knows French but there's no one who speaks it in the household so recently I've been really searching for answers and I came across this - I literally cried throughout the documentary <br>Sending love to the Rinpoche , Uncle and everyone that contributed in this creation
