Apocalypse: Sunset in the East on AllMovie

The second in the series Apocalypse: Revelations for a New Millennium, "Sunset in the East" takes the viewer to India and Tibet to explore Eastern religious notions of the apocalypse. From the Ganges River to Dharmasala, expert teachers including the XIV Dalai Lama relate the tradition of the Kalachakra ceremony, which understands human existence to exist in a procession of cycles contained within the wheel of time. The Eastern view that opposites complement each other is symbolized by the mythic battle between Shambala and the forces of chaos as related in the Kalachakra teachings.
