[Peace] Next Week: Film & Music at the Urbana Free Library

[Carol Inskeep]

Asia Lens presents "Bön: Mustang to Menri" 

March 13 from 7:00 - 8:30pm at the Urbana Free Library


The preservation of Tibetan Bön culture is portrayed in this beautiful 
documentary.  The film  interweaves two stories: daily life of the Menri Monastery in Northern India (rebuilt after the old monastery in Tibet 
was destroyed) and the life of Geshe Sonam Gurung (who journeyed as a 
young boy from the ancient kingdom of Mustang, Nepal, to study at 
Menri). Bön: Mustang To Menri has a universal message: Inspired individuals can overcome challenges and adversity and they can have a 
positive impact on the world while giving back to the people, places, 
and traditions that nurtured them.

AsiaLENS is a series of free 
public screenings and lecture/discussion programs on issue reflecting 
contemporary life in Asia.  The series is organized by the Asian 
Educational Media Service, a program of the Center for East Asian and 
Pacific Studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and is presented in collaboration with the Spurlock Museum.
