I used to live mainly in Sri Lanka and Malaysia during my years as a Buddhist Monk so we never had any winters to contend with. But I can feel the serenity and silence of your video and it brings me back to being woken before sunrise by the gong and spending days and weeks in silence together with reading books in candlelight instead of binge-watching KZfaq before going to bed ;) Another masterpiece, thank you George!

Thanks, George! Your videos and message were one of the factors that made me to move to a countryside retreat center in Russia and start gardening, mending and practicing yoga and tai chi regularly. So, to all of you who wish to live like that, there are plenty of opportunities, catch 'em and start your adventure!

Yet another, most beautiful short film with such heartwarming content, which brings us into close contact with our true, authentic being in harmony with nature and our fellow beings in this beautiful earthly realm. I really cherish this film, thank you so much for sharing it. Master Gu seems to be so much like myself, really, as going through his daily life in joyful spirit of connectedness with all around him. 🙏🌷
