99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of Eastern Tibet, was once a huge forest.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Full of trees so large that took 
several men with outstretched arms

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to circle them.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
- What happen to the trees?
- In my childwood there was a

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
dense forest here; but during the last

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
decades all the forests 
have been cut down.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
One mountain after another has been
stripped. Here there are only tree stumps.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is all we have left. The trees all 
have been floated to China.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now nothing grows here. 
It's terrible.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[ Tibetan Male Voice explains...]

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This little tree was planted by Karmapa

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
shortly before he entered Tsurphu.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The spring here had almost
completely dried up. And we

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
didn't have water left for 
ourselves and our heards.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now it's bubbling again; 
Karmapa conducted a ceremony

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in front of his freshly planted tree.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If he had't saved the spring
the summer pasture up here would have

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
been lost and we would have to
move down to river to find water

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for our animals. But there the grasses
have all been eaten away...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[ Sounds fro teacher and pupil ]

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[ Fem Narrator ] - Umzé was in 
close contact with the 16th Karmapa

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
throughout his life.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He went into exile with him
in Sikkim and now at the age

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of 72 he has returned to Tsurphu.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[ Karmapa reading the texts aloud...
the birds singing in background. ]

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[ Fem. Narrator ] - Karmapa 
does often feel like school.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But there are some texts which he 
knows by heart after only one reading.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[ Karmapa reading the texts aloud...
the birds singing in background. ]

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[ Melodious flute in the background ]

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[ Male Narrator ] - It was June the 15th;
the day Karmapa arrived as our abbot

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Drupon Déchen, told me, I was to
teach Karmapa. Traditionally one

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
starts with the alphabet; but he 
learned all that at 12 already.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When he wants to he can learn
well and fast. He is very much

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
like the 16th Karmapa. He loves birds.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He likes to play. His mentality is 
like that of his predecessor.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Later he will study metaphysics at
the very highest level. And some day he

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
will have some monks to educate
so he must become a great master himself.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He will be a leader who frees people
from their suffering, and brings

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
them great happiness. He is the living Buddha. He embodies Buddha's teachings,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and will disseminate them on all rounds

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of existence. He will achieve great things.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
At the moment he is a child. And so
there are still things that I can teach him.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Later this will no longer be the case.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I will serve him as long as I am too.
I am not a master myself, so there


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
isn't much I can give him. Besides
I am old and frail, I could be dead

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in a month or in one or two 
years, one doesn't know.


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
To the future he'll determine
his own activities. They will depend

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on the power of his spirit and

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the greatness of his compassion,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and on the degree of his enlightenment.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[ Fem. Narrator ] - Enlightenment is 
neither a present nor an accident.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In his former life Karmapa 
achieved this fro selflessness.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[ Male Narrator ] - It is sad that 
the 16th Karmapa accepted is cancer

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
out of love for the people of the west.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He spent his last days in
this american hospital.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
- Watching, as a physician... 
an unstoppable disease

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
ravage his body, and yet, there
was kindness that never stopped.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[ Doctor ] - Every morning I 
would go in an ask him:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
- Are you having pain? And he would


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
smile at me and say: 
No. - No pain. No pain.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It was very confusing for the staff.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
