Milarepa (90 min; 2006; English)
Director: Neten Chokling

The film traces the arduous journey of Tibet’s greatest yogi and saint, Milarepa. Navigating a world of betrayal, the young Milarepa’s quest for revenge ultimately confronts him with the consequences of karma, exemplifying the idea that the material world’s cycle of suffering can be broken through spiritual transformation and becoming a student of Dharma
