Buddhist Girl (2021)

Duration: 11:08    Category: International, Personal, Short   Opportunity: Stories

An inquisitive young woman struggles to find contentment in secular life and looks towards philosophy and religion to find her place in the world. She has been drawn to monastic practice and becoming a monk since she was a child, yet she is reluctant to give up her comfortable material life.
