  • Atsuhiro Sawai Meditation Workshop

    Myohoji Temple 2003 Nuuanu Ave, Honolulu, HI, United States

    The true nature of the universe is a world without sound, a world of emptiness. The world of echoes and colors that we hear and perceive is merely an illusion, a temporary form. Therefore, with just the way we use our minds, we can place ourselves in the world of emptiness. In this world of emptiness, an astonishing power of renewal overflows in abundance. — Atsuhiro Sawai, From "Emptying the Mind"

    "Canta! Timor" was filmed in East Timor, just after its independence. The story begins with a piece of music, and through a journey of a Japanese woman, it tells how the Timorese kept their music and forgave their enemies in order to obtain independence, in a cruel situation during 24 years of the military attack. Simple but beautiful songs are impressive, that leads the entire story. Including valuable interviews of the local people, guerrillas, and the first president Xanana Gusmao.
