What does it take to make you stop, feel, listen? What brings you bliss?

This video is an example of how powerful it can be to simply slow down and feel the moment. After watching, it’ll be hard not to see that beauty that surrounds us, and the realization that we can find calm in many different places.

    Beautiful song and music accompanied by interesting images interspersed with images of suffering, death, and funeral rites. But it’s easy to overlook the images of suffering because the music is so soothing. Death is a relief from suffering, hence those suffering wish it were here. Yet, I believe the creators of the video hoped viewers would have the compassion to see the suffering and wake up to the fact even one person can make a difference in the life of a starving person.
