A Tibetan Buddhist monk takes a journey of discovery to see the seas he has always dreamt of.

Struggling with his beliefs a young Tibetan Buddhist monk begins a journey to see the seas imagined since a child. Travelling through Tibet, Nepal and India to reach his goal those he encounters along the way start to restore a faith lost to him.

Since a young novice Tenzin has longed to stand before seas never witnessed in a landlocked Tibet. Travelling through his homelands he walks beside holy lakes and over high attitude mountain passes until stepping into Nepal, where within the gardens of Buddha’s birthplace his fading beliefs start to be rekindled.

Encountering many on his travels each hold a valuable lesson for Tenzin as together they explore the concepts of attachment, impermanence, kindness, compassion, karma and reincarnation. With each insight gained Tenzin continues onwards, his pursuit to see the sea accompanied by a want to understand the faith in which he has been raised.

A wonderful travelogue through the lands of Tibet, Nepal and India and an insight into Buddhism’s philosophies and ways.
