This is a story about how people and animals finally get along. A snow leopard breaks into the sheep pen of a nomad and kills nine rams. Father and son then argue: the son insists on killing the snow leopard, but the father insists on releasing it.

“It is a story about unparalleled compassion, solicitude, and love. It is also a story that discusses how people and snow leopards (or other living beings) eventually get along. The story unfolds from the eyes of a young Lama who likes to photograph snow leopards and is known as the “Snow Leopard Lama.” – Pema Tseden (1969-2023)
