Light of the Valley: The 15th Renovation of Swayambhu. 2011. 30 minutes. Directed by Pema Gellek. [press release]
A short documentary of the 2008–2010 renovation of the Kathmandu Valley’s most sacred Buddhist site, generously sponsored by Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche and coordinated by his daughter, Tsering Gellek. I, and other readers, had the good fortune to witness this monumental undertaking at various stages.
There’s also a book (no publication information available yet).

Dear I.,
Did that say “the late” Tarthang Tulku? Did I miss the news of his passing, or has it been somewhat exaggerated? Nice to see you blogging again!
Yours,
D.
He is still with us. Post corrected.
Jinajik is mainly for announcements at present; there is little, if any, actual blogging. My findings mostly go through peer review these days.
