The Dalai Lama on Blu Ray 

The only blueray movie related to the Dalai Lama I could find was this classic: Seven Years in Tibet. Though it is only sideways related to His Holiness, he does figure in it. This movie gives a reasonably historically correct idea of Tibet before and shortly after the Chinese occupation.

It is also simply a very inspirational and moving story.

A Path to Happiness: His Holiness the Dalai Lama 

The best known teachings of the current Dalai Lama concern a topic dear to all our hearts: happiness and how to find it. Contra-intuitively the solution to finding happiness for ourselves is concerning ourselves less with ME and more with the other people in our lives. Giving instead of taking.

In this video the Dalai Lama explains those teachings in detail.

Four tapes introducing the essence of Buddhism: the four noble truths. Starting with the basis of all human problems dukkha (stress, sorrow, suffering) and ending with the solution to all that - Enlightenment or Nirvana. Since this path is by no means easy, this exposition by the H.H. the Dalai Lama is by no means unwelcome.

Each tape is introduced by Tibetan Buddhist scholar Robert Thurman who places the teachings in the context of Buddhism worldwide.

Dalai Lama Stages of Meditation 

This is one of the Dalai Lama's own favorite topics as a Buddhist scholar and student. For him the levels of meditation are the way to understand a lot of other arcane Tibetan Buddhist teachings as well.

All Buddhism shares the basic insight that meditation comes in all kinds of shapes and sizes: there are levels to meditation. Buddhism has this idea in common with Hinduism and most yoga traditions. Yet we, in the West, would like to forget about all such detail and 'just sit'.
This collection of DVDs is the Dalai Lama's road map to meditation: he gives introductions to each level of meditation and how they are interconnected.

Thanks for these great finds! I bought three of them and will probably be back for more!

As always you're a great resource, i'm almost done with "The Spiritual Brain" which has become and ongoing topic of conversation between me and my husband. he is writing a book concerning the similar ideas from a psychological point of view. It's called "love, mysticism and psychotherapy" In short, it's his brand of psychotherapy versus materialists. Sorry for digressing.

5* !!!!!
