Please Don't Chant Buddhist Prayers in the Hospital Room(2020)

Please Don't Chant Buddhist Prayers in the Hospital Room follows Matsumoto Shouen, a man shaped by childhood trauma who became both a Buddhist monk and a doctor. Haunted by his inability to save a drowning friend, Shouen channels his grief into dual callings: treating patients by day and offering spiritual care to the terminally ill by night. His monk's robes create unexpected complications on hospital wards, where confused patients mistake his presence for a sign of their own death. His chanting, though well-intentioned, irritates both patients and colleagues alike. Yet Shouen remains committed to his unconventional path, balancing medical practice with monastic duty as he seeks redemption through service.
