A Cloud Never Dies

wrw

"A Cloud Never Dies weaves together original film and photographic archives, telling the story of a humble young Vietnamese monk and poet whose wisdom and compassion were forged in the suffering of war. In the face of violence, fear, and discrimination, Thich Nhat Hanh’s courageous path of engaged action reveals how insight, community, and a deep aspiration to serve the world can offer hope, peace, and a way forward for millions. The film’s release on April 2, 2022 coincides with the release by his students of an Open Letter calling for peace and an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine: https://plumvillage.org/articles/an-o... Content Warning: This film includes a few brief scenes which some viewers may find upsetting (including sounds and images of war). These are intended to convey the true suffering caused by war, but they may also be triggering for some people, so please use your discretion when sharing this film with children."

An inspiring video with helpful background about a spiritual master. It reveals life lessons: 1) Mindful walking - walking as the happiest person; 2) "Happiness is here and now"; and 3) "The way out is in" - learning to generate a feeling of joy, to handle a painful feeling and to listen to suffering so that understanding and compassion can be born, and consequently we suffer less.

It is inspiring to note that the whiter the paper, the more it reflects the sun, so if the words written on it are of a positive, spiritual nature, the sun is not only reflected in the white paper, but metaphorically enhances the thoughts expressed on it, and makes them not only emotionally but visibly luminous.
