The Saltmen of Tibet is an award-winning 1997 film that chronicles the trek undertaken by a clan of Tibetan salt harvesters across scenic but dangerous territory from their settlement to the sacred lakes where salt is harvested. The salt is then traded for foodstuffs to maintain the clan for the following year. Woven into the movie are excerpts of a Tibetan singer from the tribe telling the tale of King Gesar of Ling, a traditional Tibetan epic.

The dialogue in the film is in Tibetan with English subtitles.

Synopsis

Le film commence avec l'épopée du roi Gesar chantée par Yumen, une célèbre bardesse tibétaine née en 1957 dans le Kham.

Gesar Mukpo begins by interviewing a fellow Canadian, Dylan Henderson, who was the first Caucasian tulku discovered in the West, recognized in 1975 by Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche as the incarnation of one of his teachers. The identification was confirmed by Rangjung Rigpe Dorje, the 16th Karmapa, who requested that Henderson come to the Rumtek Monastery in India for the rest of his life. Chögyam Trungpa, however, recommended that he remain in the West. Henderson maintains his Buddhist studies and practices, but without the form and structure present in the East. He has a degree in anthropology and history.

Octobre 2001. Au monastère de Kopan, au Népal, on procède à l'incinération du lama Geshe Konchog, révéré comme un maître spirituel par les bouddhistes tibétains. Au cours de la cérémonie, plusieurs signes - perles réchappées des flammes, trace dans les cendres... - indiquent qu'il n'aurait pas définitivement quitté ce monde. Son fidèle disciple Tenzin Zopa est bouleversé. À son chagrin s'ajoute le poids d'une lourde responsabilité. C'est à lui qu'incombe la mission de trouver l'enfant en qui son maître spirituel s'est réincarné.
