Women of Tibet: Gyalyum Chemo - The Great Mother (2006)
Gyalyum Chemo, The Great Mother, recounts the compelling life story of Dekyi Tsering, the mother of His Holiness, The 14th Dalai Lama. The Tibetan people call her 'Gyalyum Chemo' or 'Great Mother.' During her long and extraordinary life, she gave birth to sixteen children, seven who survived, three of whom were recognized as incarnate lamas, and one who millions around the
globe have recognized as one of the world's leading ambassadors for peace.
The Great Mother is an inspired hour-long journey into the spiritual force of motherhood. The storytellers provide a universal link to an ancient philosophy that continues to profoundly impact today's world.

    Heartwarming Documentary

    "Women of Tibet: Gyalyum Chemo - The Great Mother" was my introduction to Tibetan culture, His Holiness, and Frame of Mind films. The Great Mother is a film that can resonate with women and men on all paths of life. What stood out to me was the subject of the Great Mother archetype, which made me think of my own Mom, Godmother, and Aunt. My friends and loved ones can relate to the fact that you don't need to have biological children to hold the archetype. The film is laid out nicely, and soothing to listen to. I also believe this film is important for people to see, especially in today's climate. Looking forward to watching more by Frame of Mind Films, Thank you!!!
