Synopsis
The Dalai Lama points out that medicine is not magical, but "thoroughly scientific," developed over 2,000 years, and proven successful in many areas of chronic illness, where Western medicine is not. Not an ideologue, he suggests that Tibetan and Western medicine compliment one another with different strengths. The Swiss-made documentary visits with the Dalai Lama and his physician in his home-in-exile in the foothills of northern India, and then with Tibetan doctor Chimit-Dorzhi Dugarov in Buryatia (eastern Siberia). It moves from these Shangri-La-like settings to the high-tech laboratories of Switzerland, Austria and Israel where scientists are busy analyzing the healing properties of herbs, roots and minerals that are the basis of this extraordinary, yet little known medical system.
