Kick the ball properly, Tashi.

- Your turn. - Move back.

Take that!

- You are losing. - You are kicking too hard.

Wait, brother.

Enough, it's so tiring.

How does it look?

Go back, Gyembo. I'm not done.

Wait.

- How long? - One sec.

I missed the tip.

Come, Tashi.

Look at them, Gyembo. That is how you will look soon.

My sister, you are so cool, as cool as a flower from the Himalayas.

Let's go home, it's cold.

Today I feel so happy without any reason...

Open the monastery door. I'll score a goal.

Sister, open the door.

I will score a goal.

Come, Gyembo! Kick here!

Hello there.

Are you here again filming?

You didn't bring your wife along?

You shouldn't leave her alone at home, because someone might take her.

Thank you very much.

So, this is my real face.

I make vulgar jokes while wearing this Achara mask,

but you shouldn't get upset.

I might be a Bhutanese, or someone else...

but everybody loves this Buddhist figure.

The Achara is above all animals, gods, humans

because the moment you see the Achara, all your negative emotions go away.

He is the symbol of crazy wisdom,

and the essence of our lives.

In the valley of Bumthang

We have the best food to eat

We have the best dress to wear

We have the best Traditional shoes to wear...

Father, do you need water?

I have oil in my hand, I don't need water.

I don't want to do this messy work.

This is also work. You should try it, daughter.

I don't like this girlish work.

It's going to be very tasty, if you squeeze it properly.

You mean, "very" tasty?

In the olden days, girls did this kind of household work but look at yourself.

This food is unique to our village,

you should show interest.

Daughter, put this slice on the altar.

Okay.

I cannot do that.

Keep going.

This exercise is for the legs.

Can you see his skills?

Let's try.

Okay.

It's your turn now.

It's really difficult.

Place the ball properly.

Touch the ball, do it again.

Try again, sister.

Careful, you'll break the walls of the monastery.

Don't do that.

Be careful with the wall, you will destroy it.

Tashi, come and clean the altar!

No, Mum, I'm tired. Tell Gyembo to do it.

Your husband is so precise, but look at your kids.

She just can't behave like a girl.

Children have different colours and characters.

It's hard to understand them.

Try and catch the ball.

Look, look! They hit the wall again!

I will take your ball away and never give it back!

Oh, my god. I don't know what to do now.

Give it to me. You must do this.

Never blow it with your breath.

It's a sin.

Where is the spray?

This water will cleanse the invisible impurities.

You have to do it three times.

Sometimes, we do it like this.

Now you can try it, son.

You shouldn't be wearing these pants and shirts here.

Wear a Gho like me.

This dress is blessed by our great Guru Rinpoche.

It protects us from all the evil spirits,

and gives us Bhutanese, a great identity.

If you are lazy

and don't do the offerings properly,

it'll accumulate negative karma.

It'll harm you in this life and after death, you'll be reborn in hell.

Always do the offerings from the bottom of your heart.

Even if you cannot serve the king directly,

you should serve him

by being here in our monastery.

I want to be that character.

- Please don't do that. - I want to be that character.

You're cheating.

I'm not cheating.

Now, it's going.

It's going, it's going.

Okay.

The children broke you as if you were not needed anymore.

I made you very handsome.

You will present our group work to the class.

I will read one paragraph, you read the next...

Well done!

Keep looking at the girls.

In the class, she is so serious.

She is silent and never talks to any boys in the class.

But, oh, my god! On Facebook, she is so flirty.

She flirts with me so much.

I also met a girl on Facebook with whom I got very close.

But when we met, she didn't even want to talk.

I will try for all these girls during the vacation.

I won't meditate and stay at home like you.

- What will you be doing? - I won't stay at home.

I will sleep during the day and roam during the night.

Who will take care of the monastery if I die?

Girls can't even enter the altar.

We have to send Gyembo to become a monk.

If Gyembo doesn't become a monk,

he won't know how to take care of the monastery.

What if our son doesn't have the knowledge

to inherit the monastery?

Let him complete at least tenth grade, then we'll enrol him as a monk.

- It's important to know English, nowadays. - But we can't wait more.

If he studies for two more years in school then another ten years in the monastery,

I will be 70 years old.

I might die, then.

He will be able to complete within a shorter time.

Even if he knows how to do the offerings, he won't know the big rituals.

It's a problem if he doesn't know English,

foreigners will ask about the monastery,

what if he cannot explain in English?

Look at yourself. Do you speak English?

You know the history, but can't say a word to foreigners.

He is not interested to learn,

and it can create problems to preserve our heritage.

Our culture is the most important.

It is the key to happiness.

This looks new.

I think the monks live there.

What if father puts me here?

I would just stay and practice football instead of praying.

Instead of studying? You don't want to become a head Lama?

Some of our neighbours have become monks.

They look so funny now with the monk dress.

Like old men.

Don't judge it so fast, it is deep inside.

No, I don't mean the depth. See the speed of the water?

Look, how the water flows.

It's scary.

I think it's deeper there.

We may see fish if we look carefully.

He always says, "You are useless".

- "Did you light the butter lamp, kids?" - "Pray properly, kids."

I'll tell father, "Gyembo didn't study the scriptures",

then he will scold you.

He is always muttering, "Om, ah, hum. Om, ah, hum".

He told me to memorize some scriptures, too.

"From beginning to end."

He asked me to memorize an entire religious text from beginning to end.

But by the time I memorize the ending, I forget the beginning.

Shit, I forgot to do the evening offerings at the monastery.

- How come? - I just forgot.

You should have asked uncle to do it.

- Can he do it? - Sure.

Don't wake me up in the morning, I'm not going to help.

Don't wake me up. I'm not going to the monastery.

I'm also not going.

I'll do it in a rush.

You didn't even hit the target. Why should I sleep with you?

That woman is really irritating.

Why do you have such a stylish hair?

Should I keep like yours?

You can wear my clothes and I can wear yours.

- Are you a boy or a girl? - Why?

- Are you a girl? - No!

- Why? - You two have weird conversations.

We were just talking.

It's none of your business.

It's cold. Let's go home.

Tashi, is this good for you?

No, I want a simple one.

What about this?

I just don't want the pink one.

- What's wrong with pink? - Pink itself is wrong.

- Take this one. - I will never take that.

Please find me another colour.

Maybe, I can take it and give it to another girl.

Take this. I am tired of you.

Here.

This will protect the bags from the dust.

The kids these days don't know the traditional way of packing.

This is the traditional way.

This is how we used to pack in the olden days.

This method works better.

- This is the football coach. - He is the football selector.

- I have seen him before. - He is the Tashiyangtse coach.

He is the Tashigang-- Oh no, he is the Samtse coach.

I wish I could also go to the football selection.

Yes.

But father would never let me go.

They look so serious. This one.

The coach looks funny.

You are going away but don't forget that you'll return.

You might get lots of friends, but never forget that you are a girl.

Don't try to go to the river side to swim. The river might take you away.

Be careful of bad company.

Don't go out during the dark.

Don't go alone.

The snow is getting heavier. I feel dizzy.

I am getting dizzy.

The snow sparkles in the light.

Please, also take this.

You are in seat number three.

The seat is on this side.

Today, I feel so happy without any reason

I never knew a feeling like this

Great Master, please introduce the monastery to us.

Sure.

You should teach our children

to take good care of our culture.

Are you the descendent of the ancient King who built this monastery?

We can't say yes, or no. But we have been living here forever.

- Then, you're the King's descendent. - We can't say yes, or no.

We inherited this monastery from our forefathers.

You have been serving so well.

May your body be as strong as a mountain, may your life be as long as a river.

May your son succeed more than you.

The monastery and the relics here are all sacred.

Tashi, you look so cool, just like a boy.

Hello.

Did you find the opponents for the next match?

There are some monks in the nearby monastery

who might want to play.

The monks said they want to play against our team.

I think they can form a team, although it might be too weak.

I'm not free today but we can have the match in a few days.

Okay, let me know when you are free for the match.

- I will cut it from here. - You don't know how to make it.

Common, I am just practicing.

Then, we will draw the picture of the soap here.

- Come on, don't put it on me - Chula, you look beautiful!

Don't destroy our friendship by flirting with me.

- Look here, Chula. You look beautiful. - Give it to your girlfriends.

Okay, let me show you the chords.

My fingers hurt, because I am not used to it.

Wherever I look, I see you

I miss you from the bottom of my heart

My heart is restless

Since you went away

I wish I appear in your dreams

On rainy nights

I want you to take over this monastery in the future.

But, what do you think?

I don't know how you'll do it...

Can you become a monk if I send you?

Yes, if you want, father.

If you don't feel like doing it,

you should read the great stories of the Lamas.

The scriptures will tell you why you should become a monk.

If you don't understand the scriptures, you won't want to become a monk.

To change your mindset, you should listen to the words of Great Buddhist Masters.

You should know what are the bad deeds.

If you engage in gossiping, playing,

you lose connection with your parents

and Great Masters,

that means your life will be in vain.

So, you have to read religious books.

If you become a monk, you'll understand the teachings

and you'll find real happiness.

Otherwise, when you get married and have children,

it creates a lot of problems

and leads to suffering.

Everyone, do this!

After we die, we wander in samsara

Having material wealth

Doesn't have meaning

I'm not going to stay at home

I'm going to practice dharma

One, two.

This is the yearly re-selection camp.

Unfortunately, some of you will not get selected for the team.

Shake your hands and hug each other.

Tashi, why don't you run faster?

Tashi, run!

What are you doing?

Goal, now!

Tashi!

I don't know what she is doing.

Tashi spoiled the game for us.

I passed the ball to Tashi, but she couldn't score.

Coach, Tashi missed so many chances.

Those who are not selected for the national team, don't be sad.

You are still young, and your life is in front of you.

Please, don't be sad.

The ones who got selected look so happy.

I never thought that I will be out of the team.

I don't know what happened.

I promised to my brother that I would get selected.

- You really played well. - No, I didn't.

In fact...

She has had the soul of a boy from a young age.

She does everything like a boy.

She has carried her soul

from her previous life into this one.

But now she is sad that she has been born

into a girl's body in this life.

She found refuge in football

but now that she is out,

she will have a difficult future.

Let's see that post.

How is that?

Look, she wrote, "I'm a love guru".

- Love master? - Yep.

- Is she really beautiful? - Yes, she is.

She is also beautiful.

- My friends are all beautiful. - She is also beautiful.

- Does your heart ache for them? - No way.

- Are you going to receive Domba? - What does Domba mean?

Monks promise to not have sex for a lifetime.

I know you can't seek Domba, because you cannot live without girls.

If you were in my shoes, would you seek Domba?

Domba? Yes, I can.

I don't think so.

Gyembo, she is telling you...

I already have a girlfriend.

A girlfriend is made to pass time.

I think she doesn't love you.

These days, love is only temporary.

I've got sunburn. We should go inside the house.

Need to go inside. I've got a headache.

When you stay long under the sun, you'll get headache.

- I'm getting headache. - Let's go.

I left my hat inside.

Cover your head with that shirt.

You have to do this.

Look here, you have to do this.

You already have a hat, your coat-hat.

Oh, I've a headache.

Oh, my god.

Mom.

I'm burning.

Dirty...

Stop!

Your nose is running. Go to sister and blow your nose.

- What? - Go to your sister and blow your nose.

Tell her to put on your pants. Run.

Go quickly and wear your underwear.

Go fast, run.

- Don't go further! - Wow!

Let's look down from here.

Oh, my god. Look here.

The snow in the mountain

Like the snow in the mountain

...my heart is going to melt

Oh, Gyembo, I miss swimming so much.

When I see you...

I used to swim even in seven feet deep water at the academy.

Even now, I dream that I'm playing football in the academy.

- Let's go. - It's so cold.

Don't shake it.

Don't.

Let me do it. You'll see, it's fun.

What?

So good!

I'm old now, but my thirst to dance has not ended.

I want to perform in every type of mask,

but now it's my children's turn to do the honours.

Even after I complete my journey on this earth,

I will leave behind a legacy for my children.

I will pass down the knowledge of mask dances to my son.

That's why I'm collecting more and more masks every year.

If we do the mask dance properly,

all sentient beings will be liberated from the sorrows of this world.

This is Guru Rinpoche's phallus.

I will bless you with it.

May your body be free from disease, and your soul be free from sorrow.

I pray that all of us will return here again next year

to celebrate our lives in the presence of the next Buddha.

Look at father.

Yes, he looks so proud.

Is he begging for money?

Look.

All of you should stay still and be mindful on this auspicious day.

If you stay still and concentrate on the dance,

I will pray for you, isn't it?

Let's not forget, all of us were here together.

Please don't forget the blessings this old man is giving you today.

May you return here again next year

without bad health and sorrow,

just like today.

How do I look?

Keep your hair sideways.

Wow.

Look at the beautiful girls.

I want the pink one, you take the other.

Oh, no, I didn't see her before. She is actually old.

It's raining

Chap, chap, chap

Come, let's play a game

Sho, sho, sho

Father, please don't beat me

Should I close the door of the monastery?

Let's close the monastery's door

Father is coming with a stick

Let's run away

Ding, ding, ding

Father, please don't beat me

Mum, please don't beat me

I know the holy scriptures

A stick is coming

Tok, tok, tok

Let's run away

Ding, ding, ding

Father, please don't beat me

Mum, please don't beat me

I know the holy scriptures

Look, Gyembo, this is the girl who I met yesterday.

- Where did you meet? - Next to the bakery.

- She looks good here. - Yes.

- She looks pretty. - This one?

Yes, with the black T-shirt.

- Is she beautiful? - Yes, she looks good in glasses.

Then, like her photo.

I told you to get up!

Wake up!

Should I hit you on the head?

What should I do with this big baby?

- Where are you going Gyembo? - Buli.

Really?

Father wants me to see the monastery there.

I will be back for the evening's offerings.

Let's see what's on offer for Gyembo...

for the future.

Even after you complete your modern education,

employment is not guaranteed.

In the long run, religious education is the most beneficial for you.

Only religious education will help you gain enlightenment.

You are fortunate to be born as a human in this life.

Modern education takes so long to complete.

It's a waste of time.

Religious education is for the benefit of all sentient beings.

Right now, if you devotedly study as a monk,

money is going to come to you in the future.

People will call you to do rituals whenever they are sick,

or start a business, or have a marriage.

If you don't become a monk, you might have to become a businessman

or you might have to become a farmer.

When you are farming,

you commit sins by killing so many insects.

If you do business, you have to cheat people.

All of that will culminate in negative karma.

This is the monastery.

This is a very old monastery.

It is very sacred.

This is the courtyard

where they will teach you the mask dances.

Isn't this place beautiful?

That's the hostel.

You will like this place. It's so big and warm.

Oh, the rooms look very beautiful.

The monk's room.

Oh, such an amazing place.

I want my son to become a monk.

- Three people stay in one room? - Yes.

- Is the head Lama strict? - Yes, he is very strict.

He comes to check whether we are studying the holy scriptures or not.

Can you use the internet here?

Yes, we can use it during free times but not during study hours.

Oh, at least we can use that.

- So, what are your timings like? - We have a strict schedule.

Every day, we have to wake up at 4:30 a.m. and start the morning prayers.

I couldn't receive a formal Buddhist education

because I had to take care of our monastery all my life.

So now, when I am still alive,

I want my son to fulfil what I couldn't do.

This will bring peace to my mind.

If he can stay here and become a monk,

he will be prepared to take care of our family monastery after me.

He can take over the monastery after me.

I came to discuss this with you.

How many monks live here at the moment?

We have about 30 to 35 monks here.

We don't have enough monks here.

These days no one wants to become a monk.

We don't get new monks.

The kids these days don't want to become a monk.

Everybody wants to go to modern schools.

With modernisation, kids should think for themselves what they want to do.

They might have different dreams and desires.

We should not force them if they don't want to become a monk.

It might destroy their future.

So, what do you think about the monastery?

Will you be able to stay here?

Will you like it here? I would love to stay here.

I wanted you to become a monk when you were smaller,

but first I wanted you to learn how to read and write in English.

If you learn English, you can talk to the tourists

who come to visit the monastery.

But if you study further in a modern school,

many obstacles will come.

Your mind might get distracted, you might even have a girlfriend.

I won't force you,

but I want you to really think about it.

If you don't have faith,

I should not be forcing you.

But if you don't become a monk,

our relatives, or the government,

might take our monastery and property from us.

If you are not capable to take over the monastery,

people will take it away from us.

In the end, we might lose our family heritage.

If you become a capable Lama,

no one will take away our monastery from us.

The monastery is our soul.

It is everything.

Again, you might think that I'm forcing you.

I'll prepare everything for you so that you can be

the next guardian of the monastery.

Let's get going now.

If you go, I'll be left all alone.

If you don't take celibacy vow,

you don't have to avoid your girlfriend, you can even get married in the future.

If you don't have the desire to become a monk, please don't go.

It's not good.

Just look for a girlfriend and enjoy.

At your age, you should work hard.

Nothing is easy now. Everything is work.

Unlike the olden days,

we have to buy everything now.

Now, you have to do everything by yourself.

If you don't work hard, it is difficult.

If you are silent and never speak, it's a problem for everyone.

Because of that, it'll be difficult for you to fulfil your desires.

That way, you won't be able

to fill your stomach.

If you are well behaved, good fortune is going to come to you.

Religious education is above everything.

Buddhist studies will help you.

For instance, you'll learn astrology there.

Studying Buddhist astrology is equivalent to studying engineering.

With Buddhist studies, you can distinguish between what is truly good and bad.

It's the pathway to Nirvana.

You'll understand which friend is good for you

and which one is bad.

Always stand for good

and keep away from evil...

Gyembo, your stone will remain in this hell

if you don't become a monk.

Come, now!

- We can't climb. - Yes, we can.

- There might be bees. - No!

Attack!

I think this one is supposed to be holy.

Hold your hand up there and place your right leg there.

First hold your hand there.

Put one leg there. Not here, there.

Finally!

This is our adventure.
