Blue Mountain Dharma Educational Film Series:

Join us Tuesday, February 18th.

Tukdam: Between Worlds

Winner of:

Galway Film Fleadh | Official Selection
International Buddhist Film Festival | Official Selection
Helsinki International Film Festival | Official Selection
Mill Valley Film Festival | Official Selection
Dharamshala International Film Festival | Official Selection
 DocPoint Tallinn | Official Selection

From Journeyman Pictures:

A journey through life and death

This feature documentary explores a phenomenon that blurs life and death to an unprecedented degree. In what Tibetan Buddhists call ‘tukdam’, advanced meditators die in a consciously controlled manner. Though dead according to our biomedical standards, they often stay sitting upright in meditation. Remarkably, their bodies remain fresh and lifelike, without signs of decay for days, sometimes weeks after clinical death. Following ground-breaking scientific research into tukdam and taking us into intimate death stories of Tibetan meditators, the film juxtaposes scientific and Tibetan perspectives as it tries to unravel the mystery of ‘tukdam’.

Watch the Trailer

Blue Mountain Dharma continues its educational film series, screening at 7:00 p.m. on the evening of Tuesday, February 18th. (The doors open at 6:30 p.m.) The event is free, and it will be held at The Gryphon above Mudhouse on the Downtown Mall at 213 West Main St in Charlottesville.
