The greatest athletes in the world today are neither the
Olympic champions nor the stars of professional sports,
but the "Marathon Monks" of Japan's sacred Mount Hiei.
Over a seven year training period, these "running
Buddha" figuratively circle the globe on foot. During one
incredible 100-day stretch, they cover 52.5 miles daily twice the length of an Olympic marathon. The prize they
seek is not a pot of gold, but enlightenment in the here
and now.

Mystical journeys of spiritual discovery are set against

kingdom of Bhutan in Travellers & Magicians. Young
government official Dondup (Tshewang Dendup)
dreams of escaping to America while stuck in a
ravishingly beautiful but isolated village. But when he
misses his bus to the city (and an awaiting visa),
Dondup is forced to hitchhike with an elderly apple
seller, a sage young monk, and old man, and his
beautiful daughter (Sonam Lhamo). Along the way, the
mischievous monk tells Dondup a story of another

Overview:
Bae Yong-kyun's Zen masterpiece. Acclaimed by critics
and audiences throughout the world, "Why Has
Bodhi-Dharma Left for the East?" is simply one of the
most ravishing films ever made. In a remote monastery
high up in the mountains, an old master, a young monk
and an orphaned boy devote themselves to their
Buddhist teachings. As the master faces death, he
becomes more desperate to lead his disciples away
from the outside world and point them toward their quest
for enlightenment. This magnificent film, astonishingly
rich in its formal beauty and affirmation of life, is not only
a cinematic gem but a transcendent evocation of the
mystery and humanity of Zen Buddhism. Selected by
three international film critics as "One of the Ten Best
Films of All Time" in the 1993 Sight & Sound Critics
Poll.

Believed to be the reincarnation of a famous Buddhist

religious conservatism, cultural isolationism and
reactionary government. After leaving the monastery in

free-spirited nature, Choephel traveled throughout Tibet

country.

Review
Goldberg... approaches his subject with sensitivity and
insight, which he backs with solid research, excellent
and rare archival footage and an array of impressive
interviews. --Robert Avila, San Francisco Film
Society/Indie Wire
Review
Some strictly orthodox Zen masters may have grumbled
at his temerity in attempting to explain the unexplainable
mystery of their doctrine. But even they had to admit
that he became Zen's most successful and widely
respected missionary outside Japan, and that if anyone
could communicate Zen to the West, Dr. Suzuki was the
man... He radiates... a special serenity that makes him a
magnificent living example of the doctrine he preaches.
--Winthrop Sargeant, The New Yorker, 1957

Overview:
The film is shot from the Buddhist's perspective,
emphasizing the modern lifestyle's emptiness and lack
of spirituality. One main ideal of Buddhism is the
elimination of all attachment to the material worlf in
order to achieve enlightenment. The city dwellers
replace enlightenment with material goods. Not only are
they dispirited, but Buddhism itself becomes lost and
empty. Ning Hao represents Buddhism in shots of a
scarecrow in a cold, empty, snow-covered field. Later,
the Buddha statue's head is placed on a scarecrow
body, smybolizing the hollowness of the new Buddhism.
In the capitalist economy, Buddhism is commericalized
and becomes a hollow commodity produced for the
paying masses, who buy it in a desperate need for
spiritual fulfillment.

fingers to the bone running a tiny neighborhood shoe
store. Their dream is simple: All they want is for their
children to have a better life than they didand this
mood of nostalgic optimism and yearning is reflected
perfectly by the 60s pop ballads wafting from big
brothers transistor radio. But the sunny tone soon
darkens as the family is beset by a slumping economy,
social unrest and the onset of Hong Kongs annual
