Amongst White Clouds Part 1 of 6

American director Edward A. Burger takes us on his unforgettable journey into the hidden lives of China's forgotten Zen Buddhist hermit tradition. "Amongst White Clouds is a look at the lives of zealot students, gaunt ascetics and wise masters living in isolated hermitages dotting the peaks and valleys of China's Zhongnan Mountain range." The Zhongnan Mountains have been home to recluses since the time of the Yellow Emperor, some five thousand years ago. Many of China's most realized Buddhist masters attained enlightenment in this very range!

@tonowicz1 - i think that's about how when you die you aren't with her anymore, and you won't have a body (unless you managed to ascend, or become immortal - in latter case then you are still on earth anyway). but your consciousness remains. so, unless you meant it flippantly, or callously, then you need to be even more evolved, and so does she, so that you can remain together post death. or even better ascend - btw Tibet Buddhists had tantras about that..

An incredibly beautiful film.

The film is praised on the The Zennist blog, for among other things, how the study of Buddhism should be undertaken which is far from the madding crowd.

I could live without anything. Except the sight and touch of a woman. Omitting this, I just don't get. Yet.

Thank you so much!

Why bother interpreting the words for a flash that is absolutely impossible to read? Is this to make us curiously frustrated with a point well missed?
