“Brilliant Moon” explores the remarkable life of Khyentse Rinpoche, a distinguished writer, poet, and meditation master who was among the most esteemed Buddhist teachers in Tibet during the 20th century. Serving as a spiritual mentor to both His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the Bhutanese Royal Family, his life and teachings left a profound impact on everyone he met. Narrated by Richard Gere and Lou Reed, the film details his perilous escape from China, the widespread reach of his teachings, and the quest to find his reincarnation following his passing.
