The Monk & The Moon





 (Excerpt from "Amongst White Clouds" - Full documentary below)




“Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other’s eyes for an instant?”
~Henry David Thoreau


Make yourself a cup of tea, sit comfortably in a quiet place & check out this fantastic documentary, "Amongst White Clouds", which highlights the hidden lives of China's forgotten Zen Buddhist hermit tradition. These sages live in the isolated hermitages of China's Zhongnan Mountain range which has been home to wisdom seekers for five thousand years & many of China's most realized Buddhist masters have attained enlightenment at this beautiful location. Director Edward A. Burger captures the sublime beauty & power of this extraordinary place such that by the end of this documentary, you may find yourself wading in deeper waters.
Check out the trailer of Burger's more recent work, "Alms".
