Summary
Lin Yu, a renowned modern yoga instructor, is swept into a vortex of intense light during a deep meditation session. He awakens to find himself in a dense ancient Indian forest. Surrounded by unfamiliar flora and fauna and birdsong, he is filled with fear, struggling to recall any memories beyond the intense light, and unable to find his way home. Exploring the forest, Lin Yu discovers ancient ruins, gradually developing a sense of awe. He then attempts to survive, using the abilities he cultivated through yoga to find food, water, and build shelter. However, every night, gazing at the moonlight, he is torn by inner conflict. On one hand, he yearns intensely for his modern life and longs to return home; on the other hand, he feels this might be an opportunity to delve deeper into the true meaning of yoga and pursue a higher level of spiritual practice, unsure whether to let go completely...
