Editor's note: Laurence Brahm first came to China as a university exchange student from the US in 1981 and has spent much of the past three and a half decades living and working in China. He is a lawyer, an economist and founding chairman of the Himalayan Consensus. He is also an award-winning documentary film director specializing in extreme Himalayan expeditions. His latest film Searching for the Lotus-Born Master (2018) has received a dozen international film festival awards and accolades.
Starting Nov 14, China Daily has published behind-the-scenes stories about the documentary, with nine episodes total.
In the eighth manifestation, the Lotus-Born Master took the form of Dorje Drolo, the most fierce manifestation of them all, who holds the ritual dagger and flies on a tigress (his consort), across the Himalayas. As Dorje Drolo, the Lotus-Born Master was hiding secret teachings in caves to be revealed hundreds of years later, for the benefit of today. The most famous cave is the Bhutan, called Tiger's Nest. We went there, looking for the teachings. Can you guess what we found?
在第八次化現中，蓮師取多杰卓洛的形相，是所有化身的最威猛身相，他手執普巴桿，騎在雌虎 (明妃化現)上，飛越喜瑪拉雅群山。身為多杰卓洛，蓮師將秘密教法隱藏在洞穴中，并于數百年后，為了現世利益而被取出。最著名的山洞是不丹的虎穴寺。我們去了那里尋找秘密教法。猜猜我們找到了什么？
