    Very nice. Thank you for posting.

    Many feel (especially in Zen traditions) this is the meaning of "rebirth." That we are literally reborn from moment-to-moment. Truly, each moment is the universe.

    Lol I just saw the title of this thread before I saw who posted it and I was afraid someone else had become "enlightened".

    The part where they talk about how he has lost joy in the things he once loved and how some of his friends leave him is kind of how I feel. My friends who I used to trip with or used to play video games with or drink and party with or who still view me as the "old me" sometimes get ahold of me and try to get me to go out with them and do the same old things we used to, and I always turn them down.

    I think they feel like I am rejecting them, but really I am just trying to turn away from the things that filled my past. Not that I regret the times we shared, just that I am ready to move on. To let the past be the past along with all it's brilliant joys and it's painful heartaches.

    I have heard about a film from director Ron Frickle, Samsara, due to be released in August 2012.

    Trailer can be viewed here ... http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/independent/samsara/

    " Dispensing with dialogue and descriptive text, SAMSARA explores the wonders of our world, from the mundane to the miraculous, looking into the unfathomable reaches of man's spirituality and the human experience, and illuminating the links between humanity and the rest of nature."

    I had that thought too.

    Yup.

    I wonder if this isn't half the reason we are sometimes told we should find or start a sangha.

    Thank you for this wonderful find @Taiyaki. I think many of us can relate to this and maybe even put ourself at a specific time within the 8 minutes of the video. Around the 3.30 mark really hit home to me, a sobering moment. It also was nice to test my Thai and try to not read the subtitles :)

    As @Talisman said, I feel a little of the same regarding friends going, losing interest in things etc. Sometimes I feel I can just get up and leave everyone and everything. I have been doing that slowly anyway, as it said in the video, moving from city to city.
