Unmistaken Child Page #2

Synopsis: In Nepal, a venerable monk, Geshe Lama Konchog, dies and one of his disciples, a youthful monk named Tenzin Zopa, searches for his master's reincarnation. The film follows his search to the Tsum Valley where he finds a young boy of the right age who uncannily responds to Konchog's possessions. Is this the reincarnation of the master? After the boy passes several tests, Tenzin takes him to meet the Dalai Lama. Will the parents agree to let the boy go to the monastery, and, if so, how will the child respond? Central to the film is the relationship the child develops with Tenzin.

- Chulae. I see.

In Chulae, are there any children

aged one to one and a half?

There are many children,

but I don't know.

However, nowadays people are...

you know...

You'll have to

see for yourself, brother.

OK, thank you.

Child. Come, come.

Here's a toffee.

What's your name?

Tsering Dhondup.

What's your father's name?

- Choepel.

- Choepel, OK.

Give one to your brother.

- Do you recognize this rosary?

- Yes.

Is it yours?

- Yes?

- A rosary.

Um... Is this Uncle's or yours?

- Uncle's.

- Uncle's? OK.

Touch your forehead.

Hello. How do you do?

Brother, come inside.

Nyima Tseten.

Are you Nyima Tseten?

For long life.

Want a balloon?

Oh, he isn't moving.

Like a yogi!

Do you recognize this?

He's smiling.

See you again, OK?

Touch your forehead.

Do you want?

I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know.

Don't know. Don't know.

He has long ears

and a wide forehead too.

He looks very fortunate and lucky.

What a cute boy!

May my venerable

Lama's life be firm,

Dispelling the darkness

of all beings in the three realms.

In all my future lives,

never separated from perfect gurus.

May I enjoy

the magnificent teachings.

Do you recognize it?

Between one and one and a half?

Tsering Paljor has a son of that age.

- I see.

- He's one.

- One and a half?

- No, he's not yet one.

- Not yet one?

- Right.

Hello, come in.

Son, sit up there. - It's OK here.

He is truly very good and obedient.

When her daughter was born,

several people helped.

But when this boy was born,

only her husband was there.

I see.

- An easy delivery, no?

- I see.

Before his birth,

I dreamt that I was herding cows

near Geshe-La's retreat.

The dream was very clear.

She was pregnant

when she had this dream.

OK, come.

You want to go?

Hey, he said no.

Such attitude.

What is this?

Do you recognize it?

In summer time, there will be a very,

very beautiful blue flower.

Blue, and the entire area will be

covered with flowers, even this.

All these are actually flower trees.

White, green, blue, yellow...

all different types.

And even these bamboo trees

will be more green,

and like, then windy...

And after that everything,

everyone is dancing.

Everybody will dance.

Every nature tree will dance.

The waterfall will dance,

trees will dance, you see here?

Dancing, dancing.

This is dancing.
