{"product_id":"amongst-white-clouds","title":"Amongst White Clouds","description":"Product Description\n\nAn unforgettable journey into the hidden tradition of China's Buddhist hermit monks Amongst White Clouds is an intimate insider's look at students and masters living in scattered retreats dotting China's Zhongnan Mountain range. These peaks have reputedly been home to recluses since the time of the Yellow Emperor, some five thousand years ago. It was widely thought that the tradition was all but wiped out, but this film emphatically and beautifully shows us otherwise. One of only a few foreigners to have lived and studied with these elusive practitioners, American director Edward Burger is able, with humor and compassion, to present their tradition, their wisdom, and the hardship and joy of their everyday lives among the clouds.

Burger is an American who moved to China over seven years ago in search of hermit masters. After a year of language study, he became a formal disciple of Master Guang Kuan at a hermitage in the Zhongnan Mountains. His interest in Buddhism took him deep into the Shaanxi countryside, and his second documentary is entitled, A Life In Shadows, about the lives of a community of farmer-artists as they travel village to village performing shadow puppet theatre.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000S76VHQ\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B000S76VHQ.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Chinese Buddhist hermit monks|Edward A.
