Experiencing Interruptions?

Bell

There is a Rinzai Zen saying: without great doubt, there cannot be great awakening. But what is this great doubt? A Zen teacher describes it as an uncertainty about where we come from at birth and where we go at death, and that it's with us always. In this film, several pilgrims of differing backgrounds meet with their doubt face to face within the frame of a meditation bell.

Director Biography - Andrew Roxby

I'm an aspiring writer and director from Nashville, Tennessee. I attended Middle Tennessee State University, first for Psychology and Neuroscience and then later graduating with a degree in Film and Video Production. I have been a Buddhist for many years, studying in both the Tibetan and Rinzai traditions, and excited to share my first finished work as a director.
