"On Life and Enlightenment" explores Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism in all its various manifestations. Over the past thousand years, the Tibetans have crystallized the ideas of non-duality and realized the pathways of the mind. They developed techniques and rituals, each of which was designed to bring the adept closer to the spiritual heights held as the ideal. In these troubled times of worldwide political, economic and philosophical struggles, the principles featured on this DVD series appeal to many seeking spiritual enlightenment.

"This film series inspires reflection, beauty and prayer. They lead us deeper into the mysteries and wonders of true spirituality," said Deepak Chopra, best selling author and spiritual leader. "It is rich with color, meaning and truth," he concluded.
