Kumare - The True Story of a False Prophet

Has anybody seen this film? It looks very interesting! Like a spiritual version of Zimbardos "Stanford Prison Experiment".
Here is a two part interview with the director.
"Meditation is familiarisation with realisation"
Jigten Sumgon Gonchig: The Single Intent, the Sacred Dharma
"Oh great bodhisattva, you ought to understand the quintessence in this way: Whatever appears is one in its suchness. It cannot be falsified by anyone. The sovereign of unconceptualised sameness dwells in the spirit of the Dharmakaya which cannot be cognised."
The All Creating Sovereign, Mind of Perfect Purity.
"Ego is constantly attempting to acquire and apply the teachings of spirituality for its own benefit."

There's a Kagyu story about a Lama and his three students. The Lama was kind hearted and knowledgeable but not Enlightened. All his claims of normalcy were ignored by his students as modesty, who practiced seeing him as Enlightened and thus quickly surpassed their teacher and gained Enlightenment. Whereupon they saw their guru as a ordinary human and became his gurus.
“After I have said that I want all beings to become buddhas, I get unhappy when harmdoers get even minimal prosperity or honor. This is extremely contradictory.’ You must eliminate your jealousy regarding any sort of attainment by other persons and delight in it from the depths of your heart. Otherwise your Bodhicitta and the achievement of the welfare and happiness of beings are nothing but words.”

More like Borat or the Love Guru. Konchog1's story was good though.

I can't wait to see this

grasping the letter of the text and ignoring its intention!

Geshe Michael Roach in the trailer. And was that... Perry Farrell saying he always wanted to meet an authentic Indian?
