Amongst White Clouds - Buddhist hermits in China

Google Video Link

Pay attention while watching and you'll see how people do more than merely survive, but live in balance with their world without the encumbrances and shackles of the industrial prison we think of as civility.

One woman tells of how she lived off dandelions for her first year, and shows some gardening, water gathering, and other daily routines of people who have lived in the mountains most of their lives.

Enjoy!

This was a great watch, thanks for sharing.

I actually learned a few things from this video.
The thoughts of those people are really amazing.

Thanks for sharing.

Really enjoyable and worthwhile.

They are really amazing people.

Very inspiring. I'm watching the whole thing, 46 minutes in so far. Thanks for posting this; S&F.

They also acknowledged the 'delusional state of mind' of people in towns and cities, but also the need to take care of yourself etc.
