Your Mind is Bigger than all the Supermarkets in the World – Some guidance for a Lost Westerner
In 2004 Swedish film-maker Cecilia Neant Falk went to the Nilambe Buddhist Meditation Centre in Sri Lanka. During the retreat she met meditation teacher Upul Nishanta Gamage. Since then Neant Falk has returned to Nilambe, always bringing her camera and microphone.
The continuous conversations at 4 p.m. in the afternoons between Cecilia and Upul takes us on an existential journey where a Westerner´s questions on time, memory, art, happiness, work and meaning are answered from a down-to-earth practical Buddhist perspective.
Cecilia: Oh, I have big questions for you! Shall I take the biggest one first?
