*紀錄片大綱：
導演在 2010 年獲邀到印度拍攝藏傳佛教噶瑪噶舉派領袖噶瑪巴（第十七世大寶法王）的九百周年慶典活動及冬季法會。原本只是一個純紀錄性質的工作，看似一趟單純的工作旅程，兩位導演也只不過是想藉這個機會，實現他們一直以來想拍心靈短片的心願。卻沒想過這片開拍不久便活出它的生命，帶領著攝影隊走上一趟非常奇特的旅程。途中所見所聞，聖地的一磚一瓦，最後成就了這次探索人生意義之旅。可貴的是，大寶法王和一眾智者仁波切不斷從旁指點迷津，解開導演及攝影隊對生命的迷思。
人生的意義就從找回真正的自己開始......在印度拍攝的時候，我們看到很多人，因為貧窮、疾病而每天受苦。如果人生就是受苦，卻還要再回來，那樣的人生有什麼意義呢？我們想探討的就是這個。......一個年輕記者說，最初以為這是一部佛教的片子，但是看完後他覺得，我們並不是談佛教。他說這部片子讓他可以多想一些東⻄。我覺得這非常好，這也是我們想拍心靈題材影片的最大原因，希望把自己受到啟發的東⻄跟別人分享，讓他們也受到啟發。
——蔡貞停
人生就是不斷重複每天的生活，所以我們把輪迴變成背景，主要談生命是不斷的重複、如何得到真正的自由，找到真正的自己，這變成我們要表達的題目。......很多沒有想像過的事情會發生，發現很多人對人生有不同的看法，那都不是我能計畫的範圍。電影自己有自己的生命，它會進一步去影響別人的生命，很多東⻄都不是我們能預設的。
——關本良

Synopsis of the Documentary
In 2010, the Co-Directors were invited to India to film the celebratory activities of the 900th Anniversary of the 17th Karmapa. At the very beginning, the journey was supposed to be no more than a dream come true, as the Co-Directors had long been looking for opportunities to film something spiritual. Never had they expected that it would turn out to be such a mesmeric experience, which went far beyond their anticipations. Throughout this wonderful adventure, the filming crew had explored the meaning of their everyday lives and also obtained much inspirations from all the wise men in the circle of Rinpoches.
Each life begins from looking for the authentic self...... While we were in India, we found that many people suffered from poverty and illnesses. If life is all about endurance, what’s the point of repeating our existence? This is what we would like to examine. ...A young reporter had once thought this documentary was something related to Buddhism; but then he realised that it was not. He told me that this documentary had triggered his thoughts. I feel so grateful about that, and this is all what we would like to achieve - to inspire and enlighten every single audience.
- Clara Choi
Life is about repeating our everyday lives, and therefore we have incorporated the concept of reincarnation into this documentary. All we would like to bring to the audiences is how we can obtain genuine freedom, and how we can find our authentic self. ...There are too many things beyond our imaginations, and each of us may have different perspectives towards life – all of these are out of our control. We are glad that this documentary has lived its own life and has taken a step further to influence those of others. There are indeed too many things that we cannot anticipate.
- Kwan Pun-leung
