Sounds of the Buddha dharma. For more than 2500 years, in numerous and diverse cultures, the message of Buddhism has been clear and amazingly consistent. It is very possible for each of us to cut straight through confusion and chaos, and discover an essence common to all humanity; to uncover our Buddha nature; to attain enlightenment. In this specially produced program the insights of ten messengers of the dharma are presented in a clear and direct manner. Includes:  His Holiness the late Gyalwa Karmapa, spiritual head of the Kagyu Tibetan Buddhist lineage; Lama Gomang Khen Rinpoche, abbott of Drepung Monastery; Lama Jamgon Kangtrul Rinpoche; Lama Kunga Rinpoche, head lama of Ewam Choden Center; Lama Lodo Rinpoche, head lama of Kagyu Droden Kunchab Center; Rev. Leslie Kawamura of the Pure Land School; Bishop Nippo Syaku of the Nichiren sect; Sister Palmo, late secretary to the Gyalwa Karmapa; Philip Hemley of the Tibetan Studies Society; and Brian Cutillo, Buddhist scholar and translator. Excellent overview of Tibetan Buddhism as well as other Buddhist approaches.
