Amongst the White Clouds - Chinese hermit monks

Amongst the White Clouds is a film about the enlightenment of Chinese hermit monks who live in the Zhongnan Mountain range. I like to listen to the monks who tell their experience to practice in the mountains – surrounded by nature and living in a simple but hardship life. I learn two things from their conversations:

(1) We, the common people, need to learn how to “let go”.
(2) When the monks were asked why they became a monk or their past, they simply replied “it doesn’t matter and avoid the questions. So we shouldn’t let the past be an obstacle for our present lives: “let bygone be bygone.”
