Ring of the Buddha - the story
Nepal 1950. A mysterious, unexplored country.
The Swiss geologist Toni Hagen, was the first European to pass through
the "forbidden? kingdom. He doesnān discover any mineral resources there.
Yet he does uncover the mysteries of life and penetrates towards a more
profound truth which lends a new dimension to his life.
In the spring of 1999, Hagen returns to Nepal
to keep a promise of almost 50 years: At that time a Buddhist monk had
presented him with the gift of a valuable and mystical ring.

In a world where so many people suffer from having
no sense of direction, Hagen appears steadfast. Someone who knows what
life means, who recognises wealth and poverty and someone who possesses
inexhaustible knowledge. In Hagenāi opinion every person has to discover
his or her own truth. And this is only possible if questions are constantly
asked. Hagen seems to have achieved this.
