Benefit Film Screening: "For the Benefit of All Beings" - The extraordinary life of H.E.Garchen Rinpoche June 2, 2011

Imagine if every thought, word, and action was only… For the Benefit of All Beings. ** A documentary by award winning film maker Christina Lundberg, producer of Mystic Tibet, Discovering Buddhism, and On the Road Home.

Garchen Rinpoche’s life presents tragic events from the light of transcendent experience. After the Chinese invasion of Tibet, Rinpoche joined the Tibetan resistance fighters and was subsequently imprisoned for more than 20 years, enduring horrifying conditions. He practiced the Buddha’s teachings in secret and emerged a Realized Being; then risked his life to preserve the living tradition of the path to enlightenment. Now a renowned teacher worldwide and an important figure in Tibetan Buddhism, Rinpoche’s life exemplifies love as the way of being that transforms suffering into a glorious result.

On Thursday, June 2nd, RigDzin Dharma Foundation will host a benefit screening of this magnificent film by award winning director Christina Lundberg at The South Broadway Cultural Center. ** Garchen Rinpoche and Ms. Lundberg will offer introductory remarks prior to the screening, and be in the audience through the run of the film.

All ticket purchases are considered donations to the film project. Proceeds will help complete the creation of the documentary DVD with bonus features in three languages. In addition, funds will help complete a 75-hour video archive of Garchen Rinpoche's teachings, also in three languages.

***Screening begins at 6:30pm. Doors open at 5:30pm.***
**Ticket prices begin at $10. All seating is general admission.**
