2.11 - The Buddhist Contention

The young Trisong Detsen is alone in his gilded cage. Having survived a violent coup that claimed his father's life, he must now contend - at the ripe age of 15 - with the greatest struggle since Tibet's unification. A battle for the soul of Tibet, waged between the anti-Buddhists and the followers of the Dharma. How will the new Tsenpo wage this war? How will he contend with scheming ministers, and mighty mystics? Answers to this and more in our first of three episodes on Tibet's second Dharma King.
