Lord of the Dance/Destroyer of Illusion

In the West, we think of magic as the art of creating illusions. For Tibetans, destroying illusions is the highest form of magic.

The documentary focuses on the annual Mani Rimdu festival of Tibet and Nepal, an event which encapsulates the Himalayan Buddhist experience.
