Film Description:
The term “Mystical Zone” (結界) is a Buddhist concept, derived from the Sanskrit word Sima-bandha, with a history spanning over 2,500 years. It was inherited from India and was introduced to Japan during the Tang Dynasty over 1,200 years ago, flourishing among both the aristocracy and common people, and becoming a secretive ritual not shared with outsiders. In recent years, the term “Mystical Zone” has gained widespread attention, with layer upon layer of its mysterious veil being unraveled. Its essence has unexpectedly become a valuable treasure in today’s turbulent world, worthy of being studied and learned. The documentary “The Enlightened Zone” is said to possess extraordinary powers, such as overcoming failure, creating miracles, and harmonizing the soul. It showcases Japan, a country that remains one of the few places in the world where such secret techniques are still practised.
In this documentary, 4 young urban professionals, each highly skilled and accomplished in their respective fields, are invited by Master Li Kui-ming, a famous Esoteric and Fengshui Master, to act as guides for the audience, revealing the lesser-known aspects of “The Enlightened Zone” . The film is divided into 9 chapters (Chapter 1: The Mystical Zone of the Vengeful Spirits / Chapter 2: The Mystical Zone of Acala Buddha / Chapter 3: The Mystical Zone of Gods and Spirits / Chapter 4: The Hexagonal Mystical Zone / Chapter 5: The Mystical Zone of animals / Chapter 6: Some other Mystical Zones / Chapter 7: The Mystical Zone of Longevity / Chapter 8: The Mystical Zone of Reincarnation / Supplementary Chapter: The Bubbling Mystical Zone), each segment is not only fascinating and engaging but also provides the audience with practical knowledge and skills that can be immediately applied for self-protection and empowerment.
Master Li Kui Ming, after producing the highly successful and popular film “The Supernormal” in 1990, has continued his work in the genre of paranormal documentary over the years. “The Enlightened Zone” marks his 11th paranormal documentary project in a career spanning 35 years, continuing his exploration and documentation of supernatural phenomena.
