The Lost Horizon Movie (1973) - Buddhist Shangri-La

What would a world be like where the people lived truly to Buddhist principles and morals – would it be a veritable Shangri-La ? This 1973 Hollywood movie telling James Hilton's Utopian lost world is now a very pleasant retro musical with Bacharach pop music.

A group of westerners escape from war-torn China but their plane crashes in the Himalayas. Here they are rescued and taken to the mysterious Valley of the Blue Moon, Shangri-La. Secret from the rest of the planet Shangri-La is a country of peace and tranquility for tired-of-the-world diplomat Richard Conway (Peter Finch). There is no crime, war, illness or sadness and people can live for hundreds of year. Richard’s brother, George (Michael York), views it as a gaol from which he wants to escape, even at the expense of his life and bringing destruction to the noble ancient traditions of Shangri-La. In this clip they have crashed and climbed through the mountains to get their first view of paradise.

Chang: Miss Hughes! You are in the midst of life. Do not seek death; it will find you. But choose the road that makes death a fulfillment.

  1. Semua Ahli-ahli MCA Malaysia yang dihormati,

    Segelintir pemimpin MCA seperti YIP KUM FOOK (lawyer, MCA Gombak) dan Yip Jiun Hann(pemuda MCA Gombak) perangainya sendiri pun tidak bermoral dan nama pun sangat busuk di Selangor. Khas nya di Kepong, Selayang, Rawang dan lain tempat, seperti makan wang SAMNAK SAMBODHI, DESA JAYA, KEPONG, merosakkan keluarga orang lain……..perangai sebegitu jahat.

    Mereka cuba suruh kita menyokong Donald lim Siang Chai, sekira kumpulan ini bermenang dalam parti MCA, saya yakin parti MCA akan tenggelam selama-lama di Malaysia

    Jangan kena jerat, sokong lah Saudara Dr Wee Ka Siong

    SAMNAK SAMBODHI COMMITTEES

  3. Dear brother and sister,

    I am Myanmar who working in Malaysia more than 10 years and I would like to explain about SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION. Therefore, recently I stayed at SASANARAKKHA BUDDHIST SANCTUARY (SBS), Taiping, Perak. I am very close with Ven. U Nandiya Maha Thero.

    My monk Ven. U Nandiya is very good heart and compassion to everyone in the world, also I heard when he stayed at Kuala Lumpur Buddhist Temple, he lends donation money to President of Temple (DATUK YIP KUM FOOK, MCA Gombak) with amount RM20,000.00 only and he said that money belong to Myanmar society in Malaysia.

    On the other hand, my monk said, also many things happened when he stayed there because committees always disturbing, I am very sadly about that matter, why committees are very poor and crooks. Others Temple, people come to Temple to respected Buddha and Monks, also give red packet to monks. Why this Temple, monks must give money to committees, this is opposite.

    If anyone receive or read this message, please inform to DATUK YIP KUM FOOK (president of Temple) to return that amount to my monk as soon as possible.

    My monk contact place:

    Ven. U Nandiya

    Anyone visiting this Buddhist Temple must be careful with the committee members as they can suck your money and the president of the Temple is also more sucking monks’ money already, add and call the police to arrest Buddhist monks
