Ossian: American Boy/Tibetan Monk

This international award-winning documentary is the story of a 12-year-old boy who has been living as a monk in a Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Kathmandu, Nepal, from the age of four. Ossian is recognized as a reincarnation of a High Tibetan Lama (a tulku)-the first Western child ever to be so recognized. His is a fascinating story of West meeting East; of a culture that remains mysterious to most Westerners.
