Pourquoi Bodhi-Dharma est-il parti vers l'orient?

In a remote mountain monastery above a bustling city, an old Zen master, his conflicted young apprentice, and an orphaned boy live a life of quiet contemplation. The old master, nearing his end, wishes to make the ceremony of his death his final lesson to his apprentice, who is struggling to come to terms with the worldly life he left behind. Meanwhile, the young boy has his own awakening to mortality as he attempts to nurse a bird he thoughtlessly injured with a stone.
