Description:

The quest for enlightenment known as Buddhism is rapidly attracting followers in the western world today. His Holiness the Dalai Lama is a best-selling author and his personal appearances in the U.S draw huge crowds. Popular films such as LITTLE BUDDHA, KUNDUN, and SEVEN YEARS IN TIBET have also fueled American curiosity. LIFE OF BUDDHA breaks new ground in revealing the fascinating story of Prince Siddhartha and his spiritual transformation into the Buddha, the great teacher who changed the entire world. This beautifully produced DVD, featuring nearly an hour of additional materials from the world’s leading Buddhist scholars and spiritual leaders, is a must-see for anyone seeking answers to life’s mysteries.

4History, Education, Entertainment  Dec 12, 2009
This is more documentary than entertainment. If someone wants to have an historical/philosophical perspective, this is it, but it is also well done and nicely photographed. I enjoyed it and then donated it to a Zen Center for teaching purposes. If someone wants to be entertained and also learn about the historical Buddha and his philosophy, then The Little Buddha with Keanu Reeve is a good choice.

5Beautiful explanation of Buddhism  Jun 24, 2009
I am a World Religions instructor at the university level and have greatly enjoyed using this video as part of my curriculum. Beautifully filmed and narrated. The filming on location made the life of Buddha more realistic and believable to those who have never traveled in India.

4Commentary  Nov 26, 2007
Life of Buddha.
Documentary on the historical Buddha. Excellent commentary from traditional storytellers, archaeologist, historians and senior members of the Sangha. Visits the sacred/ historical places of Guru Shakyamuni's life. Superb.

4Informative  Jun 27, 2007
It starts with storytellers telling the tales of life of the Buddha and then goes into historical facts. Venturing into what life might have been like in that time period. Asking the question, was Siddharta reared in Shaman or other religious practices of the time? This biographical accounting of the Buddha was informative.

Makes me want to go to India and sit on Vultures Peek to meditate. I have watched it over and over.

2Not what I expected  Mar 12, 2007
It's a narrative. I thought it would be the life of Buddha as portrayed by actors. Kinda dry. The cover art is beautiful tho.
