 Not exactly what I thought June 30, 2009

This is in essence a wonderful DVD set but it is not worth the price I paid for it. The chapters are short and not in great depth. A book would be better.
 Discovering Buddhism- DVD teachings January 20, 2009
M. Meissner (Glendive, MT USA)
Well designed and presented (2)disc DVD presentation on many aspects of Buddhism. Features many revered Buddhist monks teaching various lessons on fundamentals of the Buddhist tradition. Good value and will be an excellent learning tool and refresher for years to come. Initially I thought the product was a little overpriced, but after receiving it and watching most of it I have since changed my mind. Good value for your money.
 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.

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!!!
