Grab some popcorn and ring in the New Year with Tricycle’s Buddhist Shorts Film Festival! This January, we’re featuring five short films documenting Buddhist diversity around the world. Among the cinematic journeys in store, we’ll reflect on the Jizo rite for grieving lost pregnancies, join a Buddhist monk in Jerusalem, and watch as Tibetan activists and monks race against time in their attempt to break a Guinness World Record.

Check out our slate of must-see Buddhist shorts below. 

If you’re not a Tricycle subscriber, become one today to gain access to this lineup of films running through February 5, 2021.
