Tibetan Tantric Masters: video

You can find a lot of crap on YouTube, but you know what? You can find gems like this, too. I don't know much about the origin of this video, but it's one in a series of three ten-minute chunks on YouTube — rare color footage of Tibetan tantric masters meditating, in retreat. Looks a few decades old. Start at 0:39 and just zone out. According to the notes from the uploader, the last 3 faces you'll see in the video are:

1) His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche, head of the Nyingma lineage in India

2) Venerable Kalu Rinpoche, great realized master in the Kagyu lineage.

3) His Holiness, the 16th Karmapa Lama (…) head of the Karma Kagyu lineage.
