Via Don’t Miss These Must-See Buddhist Short Films
Every
year, a crop of young seekers and adventurers have their first
encounters with the dharma while backpacking through the Himalayas and
visiting Buddhist monasteries.
Buddha Path Hostel,
the 2021 short film, tells the story of Maya, a young dissatisfied city
dweller who ends up at a Himalayan monastery searching for peace of
mind. Along the way, she encounters a series of challenges and
obstacles—and a monk to help her find the wisdom hidden within her
struggles. As he teaches her about suffering and the way out of
suffering, she must test herself to see if she can overcome the
conditions in her own life that have led to her unhappiness.
Buddha Path Hostel is one of five Buddhist short films
screening this month as part of Tricycle’s annual Buddhist Short Film
Festival. The other films in this year’s selection document the communal
traditions of a rural village in Thailand, the life of a trekking guide
in Kathmandu, and a look inside the mind of an inspiring LGBTQ activist
turned monastic.
