Протокол Тукдама

Overview

A film about the joint work of Russian scientists and Buddhist monks, studying the phenomenon of "tukdam" - a special meditative state that, according to Tibetan tradition, can persist even after the body's normal life activity has ceased. The film crew observes research in monasteries in India and Nepal, recording both scientific methods and the deep spiritual side of the practice. The film tries to understand whether a true dialogue between science and ancient wisdom is possible, and to come closer to understanding what we call the nature of consciousness.
