"You are in front of your brother, but your mind is on many other things, so you donâ€™t really see your brother. Maybe he is having some trouble, but you donâ€™t see it, not even when you share the same room. But mindfulness brings you there, to the present, and then you see. Train yourself all day long to bring your mind to your body and to be present with your food, your friends, your work, everything, because the more you concentrate, the deeper you will see."

-- Chan Khong

The camera was there, and we realized that we were really making the movie and making sense of the footage in the movie.”
