Metteyya: Portrait of a Monk How do you document a change in consciousness? Practiced in almost all religions — from early Christian mystics to Buddhist monks — and also, increasingly, outside of organized religion, meditation has been called the most basic building block of a spiritual life. But what is the practice, exactly? With great candor and humor the captivating, young Nepalese monk Metteyya opens the door into his own practice. Part portrait film, part meditation (on meditation!), the delightful and intimate short documentary explores some simple yet profound truths about going inward. By focusing on Metteyya and his personal journey the subject of meditation is made both more accessible and less simplistic.
