Kundun

:53:08

I need to know
what you know now.

:53:11

I'm no longer a child.

:53:22

And so, Mao Tse-tung
has called for all-out war.

:53:25

He will settle for nothing less
than a red China.

:53:28

Will the lron Curtain
descend over Asia, as it has
over Russia and Eastern Europe?

:53:33

It is conceivable that this declaration
of war, following 20 years of fighting,

:53:37

may mark the final moments
of a free China.

:53:41

Mao Tse-tung is now mounting
an offensive in Peking.

:53:44

Kundun. Kundun.

:53:46

Listen to this:

:53:48

"To Mr. Truman, the President
of the United States of America:

:53:52

I am glad that you are enjoying best
of health and doing good service...

:53:56

to uplift the happiness
and prosperity of the whole world.

:54:00

Here, I am well and doing
my best for the religion...

:54:03

of Lord Buddha and welfare
of all beings."

:54:09

- This is all so far.
- Yes.

:54:12

Kundun, Reting Rinpoche
has died in prison.

:54:32

Now, do not be distracted
as you enter into the coming...

:54:37

of the awareness.

:54:39

Do not be distracted.

:54:42

Go to your father.
He is dead.

:54:49

Your mother would like you
to perform last rites, Holiness.

:54:55

Now, do not be distracted.
