Description: HINDUISM & BUDDHISM -- VOLUME 1
In this DVD, Bill Moyers and Huston Smith explore two major belief systems that were born in India: Hinduism and Buddhism. Smith uncovered the mysteries of multi-phonic chanting among Tibetan lamas, previously unknown in the West. Characterizing these chants as "the holiest sound I have ever heard," Smith reveals the chanting to be a form of meditation. Smith spent ten weeks with a Zen master silently meditating 8 hours a day, where he derived insights that help the viewer understand the way of Zen Buddhism.
