" 697 01:32:07,219 --> 01:32:09,153 It is incredible. 698 01:32:12,191 --> 01:32:14,125 Thank you for saving my life. 699 01:32:24,470 --> 01:32:27,234 ... must be liberated from religious oppressors. 700 01:32:27,306 --> 01:32:29,240 Tibetans must be reunited... 701 01:32:29,308 --> 01:32:31,105 - with their brothers and sisters... - Turn that off. 702 01:32:31,177 --> 01:32:34,476 - of the great family of new China. - I'm very sorry. 703 01:32:34,547 --> 01:32:37,516 Foreigners control Tibet's corrupt government. 704 01:32:37,583 --> 01:32:41,986 Our Tibetan comrades must be liberated from foreign imperialists. 705 01:32:42,054 --> 01:32:45,080 Tibet's million serfs must be freed. 706 01:32:45,157 --> 01:32:48,251 How many foreigners are there in Tibet? 707 01:32:48,327 --> 01:32:50,852 You, Heinrich. 708 01:32:50,930 --> 01:32:52,591 Tibet will be liberated. 709 01:33:55,961 --> 01:33:59,021 He asked for you, Mr. Harrer. 710 01:34:13,045 --> 01:34:18,244 They were destroying the village I was born in, Takster in Amdo. 711 01:34:18,317 --> 01:34:20,649 It was terrible. 712 01:34:20,719 --> 01:34:24,314 It was just a dream. You had a bad dream. That's all. 713 01:34:24,390 --> 01:34:28,326 But it was so real. Where did it come from? 714 01:34:29,595 --> 01:34:33,656 My mind could never imagine such terrible things. 715 01:35:16,542 --> 01:35:21,411 I can't sleep. I'm afraid the dream will come back. 716 01:35:24,149 --> 01:35:26,743 A couple of insomniacs. 717 01:35:29,655 --> 01:35:31,247 Tell me a story. 718 01:35:34,193 --> 01:35:36,491 Tell me a story about climbing mountains. 719 01:35:36,562 --> 01:35:41,727 That's one way to fall asleep. Those stories bore even me. 720 01:35:41,800 --> 01:35:44,064 Then tell me what you love about it. 721 01:35:44,136 --> 01:35:45,569 What... 722 01:35:48,841 --> 01:35:52,777 The absolute simplicity. That's what I love. 723 01:35:53,979 --> 01:35:57,506 When you're climbing, your mind is clear... 724 01:35:57,583 --> 01:35:59,915 freed of all confusions. 725 01:35:59,985 --> 01:36:01,782 You have focus. 726 01:36:03,289 --> 01:36:06,952 And suddenly the light becomes sharper... 727 01:36:07,026 --> 01:36:09,654 sounds are richer... 728 01:36:09,728 --> 01:36:12,288 and you are filled with... 729 01:36:12,364 --> 01:36:15,925 the deep, powerful presence of life. 730 01:36:21,240 --> 01:36:24,903 I've only felt that way one other time. 731 01:36:24,977 --> 01:36:26,808 When? 732 01:36:31,517 --> 01:36:33,576 In your presence, Ku-Dun. 733 01:36:36,055 --> 01:36:38,020 The Chinese have already secured much of the northern border regions. 734 01:36:38,055 --> 01:36:39,986 The Chinese have already secured much of the northern border regions. 735 01:36:40,059 --> 01:36:43,392 They have ransacked a village, destroyed the monasteries... 736 01:36:43,462 --> 01:36:46,226 burnt scriptures and defaced holy relics. 737 01:36:46,298 --> 01:36:48,357 We've been told they've even killed some monks... 738 01:36:48,434 --> 01:36:51,665 - Which village? - Takster in Amdo. 739 01:36:51,737 --> 01:36:54,763 It's where His Holiness was born. 740 01:37:05,784 --> 01:37:07,217 Go ahead. 741 01:37:09,622 --> 01:37:12,557 When you were defense minister to the previous Dalai Lama... 742 01:37:12,625 --> 01:37:15,116 then you wanted to reorganize the army. 743 01:37:15,194 --> 01:37:17,128 Can you do it now? 744 01:37:17,196 --> 01:37:21,690 The People's Liberation Army is one million troops strong. 745 01:37:21,767 --> 01:37:25,294 We have 8,000 men with 50 pieces of artillery... 746 01:37:25,371 --> 01:37:27,862 and a few hundred mortars and machine guns. 747 01:37:27,940 --> 01:37:29,601 The task is hopeless. 748 01:37:29,675 --> 01:37:32,166 Then you refuse the appointment, do you? 749 01:37:34,913 --> 01:37:37,347 No. I accept it with honor. 750 01:37:38,550 --> 01:37:41,246 You two gentlemen know about wars. 751 01:37:41,320 --> 01:37:43,720 What type of weapon do you recommend? 752 01:37:57,770 --> 01:38:00,330 It seems the Chinese troops are advancing toward our northern borders. 753 01:38:00,406 --> 01:38:02,931 Where's His Holiness? 754 01:38:03,008 --> 01:38:05,033 The glory of a British coronation. 755 01:38:05,110 --> 01:38:08,136 Nowhere in the world is there anything half so wonderful. 756 01:38:08,213 --> 01:38:11,376 Only once or twice in the life of each one of us comes such a day as this... 757 01:38:11,450 --> 01:38:14,112 when we know that we are watching history in the making... 758 01:38:14,186 --> 01:38:18,054 when we know that generations to come will look back on this day... 759 01:38:18,123 --> 01:38:21,320 for May 12, 1937, will be one of the dates in history... 760 01:38:21,393 --> 01:38:24,954 that schoolchildren will learn about maybe a thousand years from now. 761 01:38:25,030 --> 01:38:26,622 Every moment the thrill of excitement... 762 01:38:26,699 --> 01:38:31,227 Do you think someday people will look at Tibet on the movie screen... 763 01:38:31,303 --> 01:38:33,294 and wonder what happened to us? 764 01:38:33,372 --> 01:38:35,135 The coronation coach moves forward. 765 01:38:35,207 --> 01:38:37,675 I don't know. 766 01:38:37,743 --> 01:38:39,836 Don't you have all the answers? 767 01:38:43,982 --> 01:38:45,950 I don't. 768 01:38:53,258 --> 01:38:56,921 On the same field where Tibetans traditionally gathered for picnics... 769 01:38:56,995 --> 01:38:58,963 ground was cleared to build an airstrip... 770 01:38:59,031 --> 01:39:02,523 so that the plane carrying three Chinese generals could land. 771 01:39:02,601 --> 01:39:06,196 Nearby, the Tibetan army practiced its maneuvers. 772 01:39:06,271 --> 01:39:09,001 Some of the soldiers wear ancient mesh armor. 773 01:39:09,074 --> 01:39:12,510 They bring old muskets and spears as artillery. 774 01:39:12,578 --> 01:39:18,175 The spectacle of a peace-loving nation, vainly attempting to create a military. 775 01:39:18,250 --> 01:39:21,413 The fears of war on my friends' faces... 776 01:39:21,487 --> 01:39:26,083 strike a deeply buried personal chord. 777 01:39:26,158 --> 01:39:28,854 Echoes of the aggressions of my own country... 778 01:39:28,927 --> 01:39:31,919 the will to overpower weaker peoples... 779 01:39:31,997 --> 01:39:35,091 bring shame to me. 780 01:39:35,167 --> 01:39:39,627 I shudder to recall how once long ago I embraced the same beliefs... 781 01:39:39,705 --> 01:39:41,764 how at one time I was, in fact... 782 01:39:41,840 --> 01:39:46,072 no different from these intolerant Chinese. 783 01:39:47,813 --> 01:39:50,304 The Tibetans say an enemy is the greatest teacher... 784 01:39:50,382 --> 01:39:53,510 because only an enemy can help develop patience and compassion. 785 01:39:54,620 --> 01:39:57,487 They believe with rock-like faith that the power of their religion... 786 01:39:57,556 --> 01:40:00,116 will protect them against these Chinese. 787 01:40:01,827 --> 01:40:03,954 In preparation for the generals' visit... 788 01:40:04,029 --> 01:40:07,123 sacred ceremonies are performed throughout Lhasa. 789 01:40:07,199 --> 01:40:12,398 Sculptures of deities have been carved with great care in butter. 790 01:40:12,471 --> 01:40:17,170 As the sun melts them, they become a reminder that nothing lasts. 791 01:40:30,556 --> 01:40:34,287 The rising star of the cabinet, Minister Ngawang Jigme... 792 01:40:34,359 --> 01:40:36,953 made an offering of his own to greet the Chinese generals... 793 01:40:37,029 --> 01:40:39,020 and lead them through Lhasa. 794 01:40:42,167 --> 01:40:45,102 Raising their flag is an honor the Chinese don't deserve. 795 01:40:45,170 --> 01:40:48,697 When you are not strong enough to fight, you should embrace your enemy. 796 01:40:48,774 --> 01:40:51,971 With both arms around you, he cannot point a gun at you. 797 01:40:52,044 --> 01:40:55,536 Nothing in politics is a matter of honor, my friend. 798 01:42:00,913 --> 01:42:05,543 History repeats itself, even in paradise. 799 01:42:07,019 --> 01:42:10,477 General, we shall have our audience with His... 800 01:42:35,814 --> 01:42:40,274 General, the monks have been making this mandala of sand for many days. 801 01:42:41,320 --> 01:42:44,118 It is a symbol of enlightenment and peace. 802 01:42:44,189 --> 01:42:45,520 General! 803 01:42:57,869 --> 01:43:01,532 We do not sit lower than he does. 804 01:43:01,606 --> 01:43:03,767 But, General, it is our custom. 805 01:43:04,376 --> 01:43:06,310 I can sit down there. 806 01:43:23,195 --> 01:43:25,925 Your Holiness, this is General Chang Jing Wu... 807 01:43:25,998 --> 01:43:29,331 General Than Gua, General Than Gua San. 808 01:43:29,401 --> 01:43:32,234 They wish to have an audience with you. 809 01:43:33,672 --> 01:43:36,971 May you have happiness and prosperity. 810 01:43:38,477 --> 01:43:43,176 They are promising regional autonomy and religious freedom... 811 01:43:43,248 --> 01:43:48,185 if Tibet accepts that China be its political master. 812 01:43:50,489 --> 01:43:56,121 Until I attain my majority, the regent is the political leader of Tibet. 813 01:43:56,194 --> 01:43:58,628 You should have requested an audience with him... 814 01:43:58,697 --> 01:44:00,722 to discuss these important matters of the world. 815 01:44:02,567 --> 01:44:06,003 My experience of such things is limited. 816 01:44:07,572 --> 01:44:10,166 I am a simple Buddhist monk. 817 01:44:10,242 --> 01:44:14,872 All I know is the scripture and the words of Lord Buddha. 818 01:44:14,946 --> 01:44:20,111 He said, "All beings tremble before danger and death. 819 01:44:20,185 --> 01:44:22,153 Life is dear to all. 820 01:44:22,220 --> 01:44:27,157 When a man considers this, he does not kill or cause to kill." 821 01:44:27,225 --> 01:44:28,817 You must understand. 822 01:44:28,894 --> 01:44:33,661 These words are ingrained in the heart of every Tibetan. 823 01:44:33,732 --> 01:44:39,170 It is why we are a peaceful people who reject violence on principle. 824 01:44:40,772 --> 01:44:45,209 I pray you will see this is our greatest strength... 825 01:44:45,277 --> 01:44:47,575 not our weakness. 826 01:44:48,647 --> 01:44:51,115 I thank you for your visit. 827 01:44:53,952 --> 01:44:57,115 An offering to the Enlightened Ones. 828 01:45:12,104 --> 01:45:15,073 Religion is poison. 829 01:46:22,507 --> 01:46:25,874 The Chinese have attacked the Tibetan frontier near Den-Go. 830 01:46:38,557 --> 01:46:42,721 "Today at the dawn, 84,000 troops of the 1st and 2nd Field Armies... 831 01:46:42,794 --> 01:46:47,231 under the overall command of General Chang Jing Wu... 832 01:46:47,299 --> 01:46:50,928 attacked the Tibetan frontier near Den-Go. 833 01:46:51,002 --> 01:46:54,961 The Tibetan army believes an attack on Chamdo is imminent. 834 01:46:55,040 --> 01:46:58,009 Ngawang Jigme, our newly appointed governor... 835 01:46:58,076 --> 01:47:00,340 is preparing to send troops toward the Chinese column... 836 01:47:00,412 --> 01:47:03,279 in order to stop their progression. " 837 01:47:04,449 --> 01:47:08,180 As you know, Chamdo is the gateway to Tibet. 838 01:47:08,253 --> 01:47:11,051 If Chamdo falls, the whole of Tibet will fall. 839 01:47:11,122 --> 01:47:14,387 If I did not know that, I would not have been appointed governor. 840 01:47:14,459 --> 01:47:19,988 You do realize our troops are committed to fighting the Chinese to the last man. 841 01:47:20,065 --> 01:47:22,158 They would rather die than surrender. 842 01:47:24,002 --> 01:47:28,666 Rest assured, there will be no surrender as long as I am in Chamdo. 843 01:50:51,709 --> 01:50:54,109 Radio Lhasa. 844 01:50:55,180 --> 01:50:57,341 Now. 845 01:50:57,415 --> 01:51:00,248 We request permission to surrender. 846 01:51:00,318 --> 01:51:03,253 - But there will be no surrender... - I said, "Radio Lhasa." 847 01:51:03,321 --> 01:51:06,051 Permission to surrender now. 848 01:51:52,537 --> 01:51:56,166 We lost the war in 11 days, Heinrich. 849 01:51:56,241 --> 01:51:58,903 This surrender is our death sentence. 850 01:52:00,245 --> 01:52:05,740 And I'm afraid our friend Ngawang Jigme has issued it. 851 01:52:05,817 --> 01:52:11,187 He abandoned Chamdo and then destroyed the ammunition dumps. 852 01:52:12,457 --> 01:52:15,756 Without weapons and ammunition... 853 01:52:15,827 --> 01:52:18,762 there was no hope for the troops who wanted to fight. 854 01:52:20,098 --> 01:52:23,431 Our guerrillas could have held the mountain passes for months... 855 01:52:24,335 --> 01:52:26,200 even years. 856 01:52:26,271 --> 01:52:31,265 It would have bought us time to make appeals for help to other nations. 857 01:52:31,342 --> 01:52:33,708 Now it's lost. 858 01:52:33,778 --> 01:52:35,973 They broke down the gates. 859 01:53:24,362 --> 01:53:26,455 Hello, my friend. 860 01:53:33,371 --> 01:53:35,305 We did what was the best for our country... 861 01:53:36,407 --> 01:53:38,341 for Tibet. 862 01:53:39,577 --> 01:53:43,980 On the way to Lhasa, I would see Tibetans wearing these jackets. 863 01:53:44,048 --> 01:53:46,209 "Chinese soldiers.
