When the Iron Bird Flies「當鐵鳥升空」影片介紹
http://chariotvideos.com/documentaryfilms/ironbird/ (簡介和預告片)
“When the Iron Bird Flies offers a lively, gripping and down-to-earth introduction to the most basic of human truths: the ways in which our minds are never lastingly satisfied and our existential uneasiness — and how we can finally find peace. I highly recommend it.” ~ Daniel Goleman, author, “Emotional Intelligence”
「『當鐵鳥升空』以活潑輕快、引人注目和實際生活的方式，介紹了最基本的人生真相，也就是我們的心從未能夠長久滿足，對於自己的存在也感到不安，以及最終要如何找到平靜。我大力推薦這部影片。」～丹尼爾．高曼，《EQ：情緒智商》作者
“This film is a riveting, poignant and beautiful window into the flowering of Tibetan Buddhism in the West.” ~ Tara Brach, Buddhist teacher and author, “Radical Acceptance”
「這部影片為我們開了一扇窗，讓大家看見藏傳佛教在西方的茁壯成熟，既饒富興味、切中要點，又優雅美麗。」～塔拉．布萊克，佛法講師與《全然接受這樣的我》作者
“When the iron bird flies and horses run on wheels, the Tibetan people will be scattered like ants across the face of the earth.” ~ 8th century – Guru Padmasambhava
「當鐵鳥升空、馬在輪子上奔跑，藏人將如螞蟻般爬滿紅人的土地。」 ～西元八世紀—蓮花生大士
In 1959, the Chinese invasion of Tibet threw open the doors to the mysterious realm of Tibetan Buddhism and suddenly this rich, ancient tradition was propelled into the modern world. Half a century later, Padmasambhava’s prophecy has come true and the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism are found in every corner of the earth.
西藏在1959年受中國入侵，藏傳佛教的神祕領域之門因而猛然開啟，這個豐富、古老的傳統也突然被推入了現代世界。半個世紀之後，蓮師的預言成真，藏傳佛教已然遍滿地球的每個角落。
WHEN THE IRON BIRD FLIES takes us on an up-close and personal journey following the astounding path of one of the world’s great spiritual traditions from the caves of Tibet to the mainstream of Western culture. Along the way, the film tackles the provocative exchanges between Buddhist practitioners and scholars and Western scientists, psychologists, and educators now at the heart of the emergence of a genuine Western tradition of Buddhism.
「當鐵鳥升空」帶我們踏上一段近距離的個人旅程，體驗那世界上最偉大的心靈傳統之一如何從西藏山洞來到西方主流文化，而一路上驚嘆不已。隨著這段旅程，這部影片還帶出了佛教修行者、學者與西方科學家、心理學家、教育者之間的精彩交流，如今儼然成為佛法在西方根植後所發新芽的重心所在。
And the film investigates the question:
“In these increasingly challenging times, can these age-old teachings help us find genuine happiness and create a saner, more compassionate 21st century world?”
這部影片所探討的問題是：「在這越來越具挑戰性的時代中，這些古老的教法是否能幫助我們找到真正的快樂，並創造一個更理性、更慈悲的21世紀？」
Through candid interviews with contemporary teachers and practitioners, rare archival footage, and striking images of modern life that illuminate and make accessible the Buddha’s core teachings, the film creates a vivid and entertaining portrait of the world of Tibetan Buddhism, as it is manifesting in America and the West.
本片透過與當代上師和修行者的直率訪談、稀有的歷史鏡頭、令人震撼的現代生活影像，讓佛陀的核心法教變得容易理解、接近生活，同時刻畫出藏傳佛教在美國及西方所顯現的鮮活、有趣圖像。
“It is with deep pleasure that we watch this glorious documentary unfold with its affirmation of the efforts of Tibetan teachers to make this religion relevant to the needs and concerns of Westerners. When the Iron Bird Flies is a creative and wide-ranging guide to the spread of a rich spiritual tradition. It’s an invaluable resource to newcomers and seasoned devotees of Tibetan Buddhism.” - from a review in Spirituality and Practice
「能夠觀賞到這部很棒的紀錄片，尤其它再再肯定了西藏上師致力讓佛教貼近西方弟子需求與關注的用心，讓我們深深歡喜。『當鐵鳥升空』描述了這個豐富心靈傳統的傳揚，既富有創意，且角度寬廣。對於藏傳佛教的新修與老參來說，都是無價的資源。」～ 選自「靈性與實修」（跨宗教心靈網站）的影評
