01:38:25,500 Every moment the thrill of excitement... 763 01:38:25,700 --> 01:38:30,000 Do you think someday people will look at Tibet on the movie screen... 764 01:38:30,300 --> 01:38:32,200 and wonder what happened to us? 765 01:38:32,400 --> 01:38:34,100 The coronation coach moves forward. 766 01:38:34,300 --> 01:38:36,600 I don't know. 767 01:38:36,800 --> 01:38:38,800 Don't you have all the answers? 768 01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:44,800 I don't. 769 01:38:52,300 --> 01:38:55,800 On the same field where Tibetans traditionally gathered for picnics... 770 01:38:55,900 --> 01:38:57,800 ground was cleared to build an airstrip... 771 01:38:58,000 --> 01:39:01,400 so that the plane carrying three Chinese generals could land. 772 01:39:01,600 --> 01:39:05,100 Nearby, the Tibetan army practiced its maneuvers. 773 01:39:05,300 --> 01:39:07,900 Some of the soldiers wear ancient mesh armor. 774 01:39:08,000 --> 01:39:11,300 They bring old muskets and spears as artillery. 775 01:39:11,600 --> 01:39:17,000 The spectacle of a peace-loving nation, vainly attempting to create a military. 776 01:39:17,200 --> 01:39:20,300 The fears of war on my friends' faces... 777 01:39:20,400 --> 01:39:24,900 strike a deeply buried personal chord. 778 01:39:25,100 --> 01:39:27,700 Echoes of the aggressions of my own country... 779 01:39:27,900 --> 01:39:30,800 the will to overpower weaker peoples... 780 01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:34,000 bring shame to me. 781 01:39:34,100 --> 01:39:38,400 I shudder to recall how once long ago I embraced the same beliefs... 782 01:39:38,700 --> 01:39:40,700 how at one time I was, in fact... 783 01:39:40,800 --> 01:39:44,900 no different from these intolerant Chinese. 784 01:39:46,800 --> 01:39:49,200 The Tibetans say an enemy is the greatest teacher... 785 01:39:49,300 --> 01:39:52,300 because only an enemy can help develop patience and compassion. 786 01:39:53,600 --> 01:39:56,400 They believe with rock-like faith that the power of their religion... 787 01:39:56,500 --> 01:39:59,000 will protect them against these Chinese. 788 01:40:00,800 --> 01:40:02,900 In preparation for the generals' visit... 789 01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:06,000 sacred ceremonies are performed throughout Lhasa. 790 01:40:06,200 --> 01:40:11,200 Sculptures of deities have been carved with great care in butter. 791 01:40:11,400 --> 01:40:16,000 As the sun melts them, they become a reminder that nothing lasts. 792 01:40:29,600 --> 01:40:33,200 The rising star of the cabinet, Minister Ngawang Jigme... 793 01:40:33,300 --> 01:40:35,800 made an offering of his own to greet the Chinese generals... 794 01:40:36,000 --> 01:40:37,900 and lead them through Lhasa. 795 01:40:41,100 --> 01:40:43,900 Raising their flag is an honor the Chinese don't deserve. 796 01:40:44,200 --> 01:40:47,600 When you are not strong enough to fight, you should embrace your enemy. 797 01:40:47,700 --> 01:40:50,800 With both arms around you, he cannot point a gun at you. 798 01:40:51,000 --> 01:40:54,300 Nothing in politics is a matter of honor, my friend. 799 01:41:59,800 --> 01:42:04,300 History repeats itself, even in paradise. 800 01:42:06,000 --> 01:42:09,300 General, we shall have our audience with His... 801 01:42:34,800 --> 01:42:39,100 General, the monks have been making this mandala of sand for many days. 802 01:42:40,300 --> 01:42:43,000

General, it is our custom. 806 01:43:03,300 --> 01:43:05,200 I can sit down there. 807 01:43:22,200 --> 01:43:24,800 Your Holiness, this is General Chang Jing Wu... 808 01:43:24,900 --> 01:43:28,100

01:43:37,400 --> 01:43:41,900 They are promising regional autonomy and religious freedom... 812 01:43:42,200 --> 01:43:46,900 if Tibet accepts that China be its political master. 813 01:43:49,400 --> 01:43:54,800 Until I attain my majority, the regent is the political leader of Tibet. 814 01:43:55,200 --> 01:43:57,500 You should have requested an audience with him... 815 01:43:57,700 --> 01:43:59,600 to discuss these important matters of the world. 816 01:44:01,500 --> 01:44:04,800 My experience of such things is limited. 817 01:44:06,500 --> 01:44:09,000 I am a simple Buddhist monk. 818 01:44:09,200 --> 01:44:13,600 All I know is the scripture and the words of Lord Buddha. 819 01:44:13,900 --> 01:44:18,800 He said, "All beings tremble before danger and death. 820 01:44:19,100 --> 01:44:21,000 Life is dear to all. 821 01:44:21,200 --> 01:44:25,900 When a man considers this, he does not kill or cause to kill." 822 01:44:26,200 --> 01:44:27,700 You must understand. 823 01:44:27,900 --> 01:44:32,400 These words are ingrained in the heart of every Tibetan. 824 01:44:32,700 --> 01:44:37,900 It is why we are a peaceful people who reject violence on principle. 825 01:44:39,800 --> 01:44:44,000 I pray you will see this is our greatest strength... 826 01:44:44,300 --> 01:44:46,500 not our weakness. 827 01:44:47,600 --> 01:44:50,000 I thank you for your visit. 828 01:44:52,900 --> 01:44:55,900 An offering to the Enlightened Ones. 829 01:45:11,000 --> 01:45:13,800 Religion is poison. 830 01:46:21,400 --> 01:46:24,700 The Chinese have attacked the Tibetan frontier near Den-Go. 831 01:46:37,500 --> 01:46:41,500 "Today at the dawn, 84,000 troops of the 1st and 2nd Field Armies... 832 01:46:41,700 --> 01:46:45,900 under the overall command of General
