Movie Reviews of Discovering Buddhism

Movie Review: Outstanding
Summary: 5 Stars

This set from FPMT was well worth the modest investment. I found these teachings most helpful and inspiring with new treasures discovered with each watching. Comments by Richard Gere and Keanu Reeves were sincere observations and insights reflecting their own study and meditation and added to the teachings. I am still very much a beginner in Buddhism but, through some years of self-study, had gathered a few disconnected puzzle pieces regarding the Buddha's teachings on things like suffering, attachment, compassion, how my mind works, emptiness, etc. But I was having trouble fitting together what I had learned into a whole and with how to advance from study to practice. I just couldn't see the forest for being lost in the trees. These teachings came at just the right time and helped me start to fit many of those personal puzzle pieces together as well as adding insights on crucial missing ones. The teaching sequence parallels the Lam-Rim graded-path systematic approach attributed to Atisha and Lama Tsong Khapa. The topics covered include straight talk on tough subjects like death & rebirth, karma, samsara & nirvana, emptiness, bodhicitta, and how to transform our problems into a lighted path to our enlightenment. Watching the DVDs also has propelled me to embark on further home-study with Discovering Buddhism at Home, a 14-part study and meditation course from the FPMT Foundation Store. I find these DVD teachings by leading lamas and monastics, including His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, to be a most precious collection that I will surely watch again and again. I highly recommend the set as essential to anyone interested in studying Buddhism.
