Bright Moon

is a tale of the love between a grandmother and her granddaughter. As a young girl, Ming is captivated by Grandmother's stories about the moon. She becomes so enamored with the moon, she wants it for her very own. Grandmother sees Ming's awakening curiosity about the moon as an opportunity to instill values and impart wisdom. When Ming becomes a young woman, Grandmother tells her the Moon Parable, a tale originally told by the Buddha. Illuminating the Buddha's parable, Grandmother uses the metaphor of the moon to teach Ming about her Buddha-nature and shine the light within her. Ming eventually inherits Grandmother's legacy of storytelling and passes on the wisdom of Grandmother's stories to her own grandchildren. A tender tale about wisdom, family, and the power of stories, shines with a warm light.
