Film Series Night: Fire Under the Snow - Directed by Makoto Sasa

Blue Mountain Dharma Educational Film Series:

Fire Under the Snow

Directed by Makoto Sasa

Featuring Music by Ryuichi Sakamoto.

“Palden Gyatso, a Tibetan Buddhist monk since childhood, was arrested by the Chinese communist army in 1959. He spent the next 33 years in prison for the “crimes” of demonstrating peacefully and refusing to falsely denounce his teacher as an Indian spy. He was tortured, starved and forced to perform hard labor. He watched his nation and culture destroyed, his teachers, friends and family displaced, jailed or killed by the Chinese occupiers. Despite this, he remained unbroken, keeping the flame of his spirit ablaze. Fire Under the Snow reveals the contours of a stunningly dramatic and inspirational story: the survival of a mind and soul under unthinkable duress.”

-Argot Pictures

Blue Mountain Dharma continues its educational film series, screening at 7 p.m. on the evening of Tuesday, January 16th. (The doors open at 6:30 p.m.) The event is free, and it will be held at the Gryphon (213 West Main St., Charlottesville above Mudhouse Coffee on the historic Downtown Mall). All with an interest in Tibetan culture and Buddhism are welcome to attend. The film will be followed by a lively seminar-style discussion. 

The Blue Mountain Dharma Film Series (BMD Film Series) is a monthly educational seminar on Tibetan Buddhism. Meeting on the 3rd Tuesday of each month to view and discuss films illustrating Tibetan

Buddhist practice, the seminar features documentaries and biographical films focusing on the

lives of notable Tibetan lineage

Film Series Night: The Lion’s Roar: The Classic Portrait of the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa

Blue Mountain Dharma Educational Film Series:

The Lion’s Roar: The Classic Portrait of the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa

Directed by Mark Elliott 

2006 (50 min.)


“This is the masterful portrait of the late 16th Gyalwa Karmapa, the great Tibetan Buddhist master known as the Black Hat Lama. The Karmapa is the head of the Karma Kagyu lineage, one of the four great lineages of Tibetan Buddhism. His line of successive reincarnations has its origins in the 13th century when it was the first to identify tulkus, reincarnations of Buddhist teachers. He is recognized as the embodiment of the teachings of his lineage, one that traces its source from teacher to disciple through Tibet’s great teachers Milarepa and Marpa to India’s Naropa and Tilopa all the way back to the Shakyamuni Buddha.”

-The Buddhist Film Foundation

Blue Mountain Dharma continues its educational film series, screening at 7 p.m. on the evening of Tuesday, January 16th. (The doors open at 6:30 p.m.) The event is free, and it will be held at the Gryphon (213 West Main St., Charlottesville above Mudhouse Coffee on the historic Downtown Mall). All with an interest in Tibetan culture and Buddhism are welcome to attend. The film will be followed by a lively seminar-style discussion. 


The Blue Mountain Dharma Film Series (BMD Film Series) is a monthly educational seminar on

Tibetan Buddhism. Meeting on the 3rd Tuesday of each month to view and discuss films illustrating Tibetan

Buddhist practice, the seminar features documentaries and biographical films focusing on the

lives of notable Tibetan lineage
