A journey into the heart of the Zanskar valley, following two travellers who are returning after 30 years. A region lost in time with centuries old monasteries built into rock faces and caves. This film looks at the unique Tibetan Buddhist culture of Zanskar and how the local people are dealing with change following road construction into their once isolated valley.
We end up at one of the most stunning Monasteries on the Zanskar river, Phuktal Monastary, sometimes spelled Phugtal Monastary, where we saw a unique prayer ceremony and spoke to monks who have lived there for decades.

I spent a month in the Zanskar just before the covid years. Ten days of that time was spent at Phuktal Monastery. I taught the young monks English and was asked to stay through the winter. But I knew it would be too cold for me and we would have to break the ice on the Tsarap to get water and carry it up to the cave monastery which was far above the river. Sometimes I wish I had stayed. But seeing your film brought back the beauty of the monastery, its location, and the monks. I felt like maybe I had met some of them when they were a bit younger, when I was there. I knew the road was being bored through the landscape and knew what it would mean for such a fragile isolated and self sufficient culture, a fragment of the Buddhist Pureland that had survived for millennia. Glad you had the courage to return to see how they are faring in this strange new world that humanity cannot contain. The ancient world is rapidly disappearing and it holds such precious teachings. I hope Phuktal can survive what is coming, but of coarse, there is the law of impermanence...

...I wish I could have been visiting there in earlier years... it somehow touches my heart deeply... but impermanence is merciless, and yet merciful as well... in this world nothing is meant to stay and last... and we are all visitors only for a short while... letting go is one of the most important lessons... the rivers also don't stop at the most beautiful bend... they keep on flowing, until they merge again with the sea... 🙏😇🌈

@@lanceuppercut8220 yes, its disrespecting the ones affected by it. Here, where I live (in Scotland) there are examples of the inhabitants refusing the offers of the government to connect them better - in one case building a bridge to an island (so they still have only a ferry, which sometimes doesn't go, when its too windy); in the other case its an peninsula community without a road leading to it. They have to walk off or go by boat. In both cases the vote of the people got respected, and no further action was taken. 💖

As I watch this beautiful and yet sad documentary, I have to remember that Tibet was completely closed off to the rest of the world for many hundreds of years. When the Dalai Lama was forced to flee Lhasa and go to India, it seemed a tragedy. However, his effect on the rest of the world and the influence of Buddhism has expanded and become a practice in almost every country. Change is a gift, even though it doesn't appear to be at first. I do not believe that Buddhism will ever disappear. Nothing valuable is ever lost.

Buddha Dharma will always stay relevant. The younger generation may turn toward English, Sciences, and the Internet age. They may leave the valley of their ancestors. Wherever they go they will find suffering, and whatever their karma may be, eventually they will seek freedom from suffering. Even if their new life is in the west, they will find teachers sharing the true Dharma. Thank you for sharing this wonderful journey with us. All the best. Om Guru Om

Danny thanks so much for making this wonderful documentary. Through this film I was reunited with the Chilling copper smith Phuntsog and his son Ishey. In 1984 my wife and I were taken in by villagers near Alchi and later led over immense, barren mountains and a cliff hanging trail above the Zanskar chu to Chilling. Phuntsog was already in his sixties then. With the simplest of tools he made the most elaborate jugs, I bought some ladles and teaspoons which I still have. Ishey is a traditional healer. Fantastic to see them.

Thank you. Seeing the reactions when they recognized you and remembered the scenes in the photos is fascinating, very powerful. Their concern about the future is palpable. Well done, when the old ways are no longer practiced here people will have this and others' records of at least some of what used to be. But being Buddhist they know change happens, that everything changes, change is universal and ongoing. The quickly changing climate we've created would bring rapid change to their lifestyle even without the road and the intrusion of modern life. Watching this it occurred to me we are all facing radical change because of our overuse of the world, global warming, more radical destructive weather, mass extinctions and shrinking supplies of fuel, clean water and food. Ultimately we're all in the same boat, the Great Waves of Change are here.

I can very much relate to your comment, and as a Westerner living a comfortable lifestyle now, but having experienced the devastation of World War 2, having limited fresh water, and having only one bath a week through a heated big pot on a fired stove, and so on, l know what live is like with lots of improvisations. I did not have a home with a bathroom till l was 30 y old, nor a car. l do not want to miss this experience, but l also embrace modernity, having a modest house with abundant clean water, easy cooking stove, etc. but the challenges have just shifted from having to improvise with little food supply, not much water, no car, no telephone, no computers, no TV, only radio to how not waste water, restrain oneself to not overindulge in using too much energy, not too much plastic packages, to having a small car with not using too much fuel, cleaning the environment, keeping the streets and beaches litter free. Luckily in my small community and with our backgrounds we do care about each other, and the environment, and we choose our way of life. Thank you for this with love made video about an ancient people and culture. I am convinced the road will bring relief, will make travelling, and transport easier, connect villages more. I just can’t see building a road negatively. Sorry. The young children must have opportunities to learn in schools. Education is important. My experience is that some young adults from villages, who have experienced the modern lifestyle in cities, do go back into their villages, towns, for a more relaxed life, and the love of nature, and helping to pass on, what they have learned. All the best for this Monastery, and village life, relief from extreme hardships, and gaining prosperity. Greetings from 🌏🦘🐨🕊from a German

When you come from a Western culture and are used to the considerate to extreme narcissism that is the norm there, coming to places like this, where the people are still pure, opens your eyes to the true nature of humanity and how far 'modern man' has strayed off the path, igniting a spark in your soul of wanting to return to that pure place inside, individually and collectively. It's a transcendental, beautiful, humbling and inspiring experience. These people are the most powerful teachers there are, simply by their authentic way of being, that they radiate constantly, leading one back to Source.

What a beautiful thing you did, going back after 30 years. I can feel the emotions it must have brought to you and to them!!! What a contrast between their lives and ours......but despite that, the Budah is inside us. We are all one and the same!

Very gracious and dignified documentary-making. It is intimate yet doesn’t impose on the villagers. All the more dramatic and moving for that. Thankyou.

wow!! I am researching my first trek to Ladakh, and was trying to decide between Zanskar and Nubra. I stumbled across this video and it made me quite emotional. I think Zanskar is where I am now going to go!!!

Wonderful, I also visited here 20 years ago, also by walking. Amazing that in such a remote place the people are so well versed in scriptures and faithfully embody its values.

@dannyabull This is so beautiful ❣️ thank you, watching this documentary I was in tears by the sheer simplicity of life. They are such beautiful and trusting people and my heart aches to think what that road might bring to this pristine spiritual place. I do hope it's a road less traveled.

Thanks for having such a wonderful documentary. Yes, i would say that we are on tracks of modernisation and loosing the old beautiful cultural parts. Now its connected to the Leh-Ladakh main city via different routes and Manali Himachal Pradesh. by the name of development play with the nature and destroyed the wild area. Since agro-pastorial community Earlier we depends on livestock and human beings from the beginning of sowing seeds to threshing of crops. For Now everything is relying on machine. Its changing but very rapidly. Congratulations you meet your kind person after 30years. You had a great composition of pictures in zanskar. Feeling proud of you and being zanskari youth don't want to see too much changes in terms of nature exploitation and culture changes.
