Wonderful information January 6, 2009
Excellent source of information, very detailed, wonderful clips from various teachers. Great for those looking into Buddhism for the first time, for those wanting to learn more...or to just debunk the myths that most people have about Buddhism. Great for those who don't have teachers they can access nearby. Am looking forward to continuing my studies with their (FPMT) separate module trainings that they offer on dvd.
Peace
Only One Presence matters: YOU December 18, 2008
How does one talk about the myriad of thought this DVD provides?
I at first was interested in how the Hollywood people presented themselves and what the knowledge was they were to impart.
Soon, as I realized the scope of the teachings was so encompassing nothing but that mattered.
Soon, as each chapter was complete, nothing mattered other than what was the next thought to absorb.
Coming from the Soto Zen discipline, that mattered not, as each chapter of thought was presented.
I'm attempting to impart the point that 'all that other stuff' matters not, once one is absorbed by the teachings.
This is an astounding assemblage of one view of Buddhism, as It encompances and explains both sides (now).
Don't let my flawed view of reality distract you. This DVD is well worth the price.
If you want to learn what Buddhism encompasses, don't hesitate.

This video..with intros from Richard Gere includes interviews with many tibetan buddhist teachers in many different countries and settings.
Discussion regarding Basic Tibetan principles takes place in relatively intimate settings, some during teachings at each teachers sangha.
For those seeking incite into the Tibetan realm, this is a great introduction to the dharma and each teacher's discussion can be accessed without having to navigate thru a heavy dvd chapter system.
Get on the Dharma!!!

While i mostly wanted to see Keanu riff on all things
on the path (he's on disk 2; Gere does disk one intro's)
i found the talks quite nice.
The one on death and your daily thinking had some
great stuff; i've read about HHDL's daily meditation on
his own death and the 9 meditations of the corpse,
but now can fit these into a context.
Many find the price modest; it's kind of expensive
for a 2 dvd set, considering that Doctor Who Season
one goes for $90 for six dvds.
And i would match a Sonic Screwdriver against
Karma and Dharma talks any day!
Foob
p.s. encourage your local library to purchase
this. I did.

This is a wonderful way to learn more about the concepts of Buddhism. It is not trying to "convert" anyone, nor a "how to" course. It is a simple explanation of a gentle way of life. A professional film.
