A treasure

"I liked this DVD a lot. I am not a Buddhist, but am interested in psychological/philosophical/spiritual questions. I am also interested in learning more about meditation and all the health benefits associated with it. This DVD spans a wide range of topics over 4 hours of talks with the Dalai Lama touching on a number of issues central to finding personal and collective happiness. What I liked most is seeing the personality of one of the greatest thinkers of our time and how gentle and thoughtful he is. Highly recommended."
A Great DVD

"I bought this after seeing a short clip on a DVD I received as a gift. I did not know much about the Dalai Lama, but obviously knew who he was. The DVD footage is very informative and I really enjoyed watching him speak. There is something very calming about just watching him speak and discuss such a wide range of interesting topics. I highly recommend this DVD."
Interesting but not great

"The lecture and material in the dvd is fantastic. I did not give it five stars because the Dalai Lama does not have the best english (as he himself admits) and can make it difficult to understand at times."
Good for opening the mind

"I'd already seen some of this tape from a Barbara Benaugh DVD I have. I have always had a passion for truth. I seriously doubt that I will ever be a Buddhist, but I have a great deal of respect for this man from just watching how he carries himself on the DVD. I happen to believe as he does, that our humanity is the common thread we share, despite our religious beliefs. We can't harm others without also causing great harm to ourselves.
Of course he has an accent, but the message is very clear and I enjoy it very much. It's a good stress release."
