Hidden World: Zen Pond

The first episode in the Hidden World series is a meditation on the microscopic life in a pond. Presented in the spirit of Zen, the graceful and sometimes bizarre life-forms are shown going about their business without explanation, accompanied with the koto music of internationally renowned musician Masayo Ishigure. All footage was shot by experimental filmmaker, John N. Campbell.

Thank you. The music is from Masayo Ishigure's CD of koto music, "Grace".

This video will be included as an added special feature on a new DVD I will be releasing next month about a group of Tibetan Buddhist Monks who travel North America building sand mandalas.
