Our century should be a century of spirituality, whether we can survive or not, depends on it.

A new biographical documentary of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh narrated by actor Peter Coyote, A Cloud Never Dies weaves together original film and photographic archives, telling the story of a humble young Vietnamese monk and poet whose wisdom and compassion were forged in the suffering of war. In the face of violence, fear, and discrimination, Thich Nhat Hanh’s courageous path of engaged action reveals how insight, community, and a deep aspiration to serve the world can offer hope, peace, and a way forward for millions.

We know that many civilizations in the past have vanished and this civilization of ours can vanish also. We need a real awakening, a real enlightenment. We have to change our way of thinking and seeing things and this is possible. And our century should be a century of spirituality, whether we can survive or not, depends on it.
