#THISBFFfirstdibs: WANDERING…BUT NOT LOST is one of the eight films you can watch with your Online Pass!

Under cover of darkness and with no word of his plans, much-beloved Tibetan Buddhist Meditation Master Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche walked away from his life on the international stage to live that of a wandering yogi.

Unheard of among eminent teachers today, such a practice is rife with hardships. For Mingyur Rinpoche, these challenges—begging, finding food and shelter, illness, and all the attendant risks of wandering incognito from place to place with the barest of possessions—present fertile ground for deepening insight into the true nature of the mind.

WANDERING… BUT NOT LOST is an intimate account of Rinpoche’s four-and-a-half-year retreat interspersed with the master’s own guidance in applying Buddhist wisdom to our daily modern lives.

#THISBFFfirstdibs: 《本来面目》回来了,别再错过这部关于法鼓山圣严法师的纪录片! MASTER SHENG YEN is one of the eight films you can watch with your Online Pass! Catch it if you missed it last year!

1940年代,在中国民族命运、人的尊严以及佛教尊严都跌落谷底的时刻,一个十四岁的男孩在江苏南通出家,从此,他展开了将近七十年不曾休止的求法与传法过程,同时,也是追寻生命与信仰尊严归向的过程。

In the 1940s, as the fate of the Chinese people and the dignity of Chinese Buddhism fell into the nadir, a 14-year-old boy was ordained to be a Buddhist monk in Jiangsu Province, China. Since then he has embarked on a journey to pursue and spread the Dharma for nearly 70 years.
