Description


"The origin of this narration goes back to the early 1970s when I was working as an assistant in the Oriental Department at the Royal Library in Copenhagen. A tibetan named Ngawang Losang worked in the same department. Gradually, I came to know that he was not only Ngawang Losang living in Hørsholm, but also the eleventh reincarnation of Tarab, a high ranking lama. Losang was Tarab Tulku XI, a so-called "Living Buddha". In November 1971 I started to prepare for a documentary film about Losang and Tibet. Part of the research was to sit down with Losang and more systematically record his life story on tape. After each session I would make a transcription of the recording in Danish, have it translated into English and get it approved by Losang. The film was never realised, but nevertheless a unique text was left behind and that is this story of Losang's.".
