Zen Buddhism Documentary

Turtle Press has acquired the distribution rights to a documentary, Zen Buddhism: In Search of Self, filmed and produced in Korea by MBC television. Following a tradition dating back over 1000 years, two dozen Buddhist nuns gather for a ninety day period of meditation, fasting and contemplation deep in the mountains of South Korea. With the singular goal of attaining enlightenment, the women undertake a rigorous schedule of meditation, at one point sitting for seven days without sleep.

In this first ever documentary on the practice of Dong Ahn Geo (Winter Zen Retreat), you’ll be invited into the Baek Hung Buddhist Temple to witness not only the nuns’ strict meditation practice, but their daily lives in which we see not only a deep spiritual discipline but an almost childlike joy and simplicity.
