Synopsis
A scholarly young monk embarks upon an intriguing journey only to discover that the wisdom he seeks is much closer than he imagines, and much stranger than he could possibly envisage. In his attempts to reach the fabled mountain of Wutaishan and meet with the bodhisattva Manjushri, Lodro battles the elements, braves the seductions of beautiful women, and encounters a magical mule.

Finding Manjushri was produced on a shoestring in a Tibetan refugee settlement in the stunning Himalayan region of northern India. Delivered with charm and humour, it is a delightful and uplifting tale that explores Tibetan Buddhism's unconventional concept of wisdom.
