Synopsis
Each year, hundreds of thousands of pilgrims go to Bhod Gaya in India to be taught by the Dalai Lama during the Kalachakra Initiation, one of the most important rites of the Buddhist religion. Some pilgrims travel thousands of kilometres on foot, perform various stages of prostrations on their spiritual journey to Tibet's breathtaking holy Mount Kailash.
The film includes interviews with the Dalai Lama as well as unprecedented access to secret rituals and ceremonies.
