Hmmmm. Great subject but poor film which she be titled the chanting of the buddhist nuns. The chanting drove me crazy and needed to terminate the movie Posted 07/17/08 by Mark Morgan
This is a straightforward, yet lovely and very educational glimpse of another world. Well worth watching, especially if one is interested in Buddhism and the in ways in which lives can be changed in a remarkably short time. |
