Unmistaken Child Page #3

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.

Free dance.

Like this flower.

So beautiful, happy and free.

But sorry anyway, I...

I took permission from the tree.

So that's why I'm taking it.

Actually now it's not free,

before it was free.

I remember that

since the age of 3,

I used to run up to

Geshe Lama Konchog's cave up there.

So I usually run from

that juniper tree, up to...

Like this.

Day after day

and month after month,

even when it was snowing

I came up.

And my family put a full effort.

They tried separating me

from Geshe La.

They want me to be a householder,

they want me to get married.

This is at the age of 6 and 7,

they had already found

a girl for me.

I am totally not interested in this.

So then, one day I really

screamed at my father:

"Just let me see him, and I will

ask one last question:

'Geshe-La, can you accept me?

'Can you let me follow you? '

"If Geshe-La says 'no',

"I would never ever ask again...

...and I will follow Papa...

...but if Geshe-La says 'yes',

no one can stop me."

Nothing, nothing.

Nothing left but still,

I don't know,

due to Geshe-La's prayer,

he loved flowers so much,

rose flowers are left.

So many, you know,

so many about to come.

It will be beautiful.

Definitely that is the same flower.

It's 100% of...

I always plucked a flower

and quietly put on his ear.

Just like before, pluck flower,

and Geshe-La was meditating,

so I slowly put on his ear

and he doesn't bother.

Later on, when I sleep,

sometimes he slowly

put on my ear, like that.

It used to be beautiful.

I mean, the outward appearance

used to be beautiful,

but now everything is gone.

It's like...

Last time...

He insists to become a monk

and doesn't want to go to school.

Do you want to become a monk?

No.

Do you want to become a monk?

Do you want to become a monk?

What should I say?

Maybe, from Phurpae up to Nyiloe...

Did you hear of any unusual children?

I have not heard about anyone

with unusual signs.

You don't know any?

I haven't met any child

with an interest in the teachings.

Haven't seen... I see.

Hello. How are you?

Are you from Laeru or Ngagyu?

- You mean us?

- Yes.

We are from Choekhang.

- From Choekhang, I see.

- Grandpa Wangchuk...

I see. That's right...

- Is your farm over here?

- We are relatives, right?

I was away for a long time,

I slightly recognize Auntie's face.

In Ngagyu, do you know any kids

aged one to one and a half?

Maybe Ahpe.

- Ahpe...

- Ahpe has.

- Small kids, right?

- Yes, small.

- Over there is...

- There?

- Behind that one.

- I see.

Yes, behind that.

Is his son one or two?

He has two sons.

- One is not yet one.

- About one.

I see.

- Is there a way out from there?

- Yes.
