En Route To Lhasa - In 2000, a group of Chinese American buddhists participated in a pilgrimage to Nepal and Tibet. They crossed the Himalaya and visited many rarely seen temples and caves where famous buddhist practitioners stayed. The video is a montage of this memorable journey, to a place where his holiness, the Dalai Lama, wishes to return.

A Village on Qinghai - Tibet Plateau - In recent years, Cynthia has been traveling to the "Roof of the World" to explore and document the Tibetan Buddhist monasteries, and study the lifestyle on the plateau.

Cynthia returned from Qinghai in August 2004 and brought back documentary images about the lifestyle of a group of teenager monks who live in a faraway village in the valley of Qinghai-Tibetan plateau where the Yellow River was originated."
