Unmistaken Child Page #4

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.

Go that way.

Hello.

- What is the boy's name?

- Tsering Bhuti.

- His father's name?

- Yes?

Father's name?

- Ngodrup Gyaltsen.

- I see. Thank you.

Hello.

Where is Ahpe's house?

- Ahpe's house?

- There.

Over there?

Here, here. OK, take it.

Give me, give me.

Give me the rosary.

Is this yours?

Don't.

Give it to me.

In all my lives,

never separated from perfect gurus,

May I enjoy the magnificent teachings.

By completing the qualities

of the stages and paths,

May I quickly attain the state

of Vajradhara Buddha.

Finally, I left without

getting the rosary back.

He kept it.

- What did Geshe-La use his rosary for?

- For his morning ritual.

- I see. A crystal one?

- Yes.

Also, there was an apple tree

which was planted by Geshe-La,

it's now huge and bears fruit.

He has been watering it

every morning for the last year.

Oh yeah.

Seems like quite a unique child.

Since you were very close

to Geshe-La

and well acquainted

with his nature,

your inquiries

are very meaningful.

Tell both Rinpoches

about this, OK?

And we will come

and do more checks.

For now,

the boy should be kept clean.

Please keep him clean.

If we get more assurance,

then we will inform

His Holiness, the Dalai Lama.

Right?

To find the unmistaken

reincarnation of Lama Konchog,

this is my life's responsibility.

It's not just a responsibility

of just being an attendant,

it's a responsibility for

a very, very important person,

who is going to benefit

numberless beings.

Just, just, just...

Just having him itself,

just able to bring,

even if he is a baby,

I can bring him

and I can show to you.

I can show to people.

Just that itself, already is enough.

It's very important.

It's thousands and thousands

of times more important

than my own life.

Who is this?

A child.

A child. Who is he?

Yes?

Do you recognize him?

Tell me. Who is he?

- Is it you?

- Who is he?

Is it Big Uncle?

- Yes, it is Big Uncle.

- Is this Tenzin Ngodup?

Yes, this is Tenzin Ngodup.

Who is that?

It's Grandma...

Is that her?

Yes, it is Grandma.

I'll spray you.

Wait, wait...

Tenzin Zopa, you are called.

Come. Come.

Here. Prostrate like me.

Little boy, come here.

Let us begin.

Tell him to choose the bell

he used in his previous life.

Do you want to pick up your bell?

Yes?

Tell him to take the one

that he used before.

Ahpe, you tell him.

Tell him in his mother tongue.

Take the one you used before.

My little boy,

you are very obedient, right?

This one.

Right, that is the one.

Then? Next.

Which one?

This one.

Yes, that's right.

Now the rosary.

Which one?

This, this or this?

- Pick the one you used before.

- In your past life.
