On this day in 1959, thousands of Tibetans, fearing an abduction attempt by China, surround the Dalai Lama's palace to prevent his removal.
The Cup, written and directed by Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche, a Tibetan/Bhutanese lama, is a wonderfully joyful film that students love. It's a great way to introduce students to Tibet, Tibetan Buddhism and Tibetan refugees. Our free curriculum guide for The Cup includes lessons for grades 6-8 and 9-12.
