A Pray is a Buddhist film aims to convey the Emptiness of all by presenting an abstract physical (and psychological) connection between two performers, using simple Buddhist symbols.
This is a film that has infinite meaning for me and was influenced by the words of my guru. Even it is raw and short, I still believe it contains the most precious things. I'm very lucky that this work has now been spotted at four film festivals, and helped me get into the Royal College of Art. It was also interviewed by professors at Goldsmiths University London, Central Saint Martins- University of the Arts London, and School of Visual Arts. I hope more people can see it, and feel inspired, or feel a sense of relief.

《祈福》是一部佛教电影，旨在通过使用简单的佛教符号，展现两位表演者之间抽象的身体（和心理）联系，从而传达“空性”。
这部电影对我来说有着无穷的意义，也受到了我上师的影响。即使它是原始的、简短的，我仍然相信它包含了最珍贵的东西。我很幸运，这部作品现在已经在四个电影节上亮相，并帮助我进入了皇家艺术学院。伦敦金史密斯大学、伦敦中央圣马丁艺术大学和视觉艺术学院的教授也对它进行了采访。我希望更多的人能够看到这部电影，并从中受到启发或感到欣慰。
