Cloud Path, Journey of a Wandering Monk

This is a documentary about the experiences in Korea of Paul Munsen, a Harvard University graduate who became a Buddhist monk (Hyongak), and especially his dedication to manhaeng (literally traveling practices), a kind of traditional Buddhist lifestyle. Featuring brilliant scenes of Korea’s landscape and cinematographic artistry, it introduces Korean culture through a viewing of Buddhist temples, local markets, samulnori (music of four percussion instruments) and onggi (dark brown earthenware).
