Movie: Unmistaken Child



Movie poster of Unmistaken Child

This is a movie that talks about a young disciples, Tenzin Zopa from Nepal, in the journey of searching his master reincarnation. In the movie, it shows us what is the process of the people who believe in reincarnation of their great master, identify the "unmistaken child".

After the direction, hints on the parent's name of the family that the great master may reincarnated at, and the age of the possible kids that may be the gifted one are given, Tenzin Zopa starts his journey. He goes back to his village where he was born and was also was the place that his late-great master once stayed for a long time.

Along the journey, this young monk, Tenzin Zopa tells his story of how he fells that he is destined to this life. After a great long search, he finally meets a potential kid,a cute little boy between age 1 to1 1/2 who has taken the rosary that was once used by the great master. The small kid never let Tenzin Zopa takes away the rosary after wearing it.

Tenzin Zopa then goes back and tell this to the senior. He is then asked to be stay with this special kid and is ordered to "keep the boy clean". After the boy successfully taken the "identification" tests. He is given a name new name.

The story goes more interesting when you see how the boy reacts. He acts like he is born with it. He remembers the place where he stay on his previous life as the great master, Geshe Lama Konchog. Everything he does, he does it naturally. When he looks at a picture of Geshe Lama Konchog, he tells Tenzin Zopa that, that's him.

Tezin Zopa stays with this kid for some years until everything is official. This little boy is recognized as the reincarnation of Geshe Lama Konchog and is named Tenzin Phuntsok Rinpoche. This chubby little boy, after the recognition of the reincarnation, has to leave his birth parents and be brought to the Kopan Monastery. There, begins his journey of a reincarnated master.

Along the story, the relationship and bond building between Tenzin Zopa and Rinpoche are fascinating and did manage to win my tears. This is a very interesting, down to earth real story. It gives an insight to what is reincarnation to the peoples who believe it. The proof that given in the story will make somehow no doubt and believe into this "magic".

The chubby kid in the poster is the one, the precious one, Tenzin Phuntsok Rinpoche. He even been to Malaysia and Singapore before, several years back.From the news report on his visit to Malaysia and Singapore, he is just a kid, has kid behavior and likes to eat McDonald.

Whoever would like to watch this movie, be prepare to be touched and impressed by this movie. It is not easy to get in DVD. I have tried to look from several major DVD store but ended up downloading a version with English subtitles.
