Conservation of Buddhist Treasures in Mustang documentary 54min

   Over at preciousteaching.org there is a documentary detailing efforts to conserve works of art in Mustang (moo-stahn), one of the last outposts of Tibetan culture. It is so isolated and protected that no Westerner set foot inside its borders for centuries. In the early 1990s, this untouched society set high in the Himalayas opened its borders for the first time, exposing an ancient world’s dazzling sacred relics long damaged by the elements and neglect.


   You can see the film here. There is loads more to see on the site so have a wander around.
