The Discovering Buddhism DVD Series was created for anyone wishing to get a taste of the vast and profound subjects of the stages of the path to enlightenment, as presented in a Tibetan Buddhist context. This series also serves as supplementary material for anyone following the Discovering Buddhism at Home program, each 30-minute DVD exploring the essence of one of the thirteen subjects that comprise this study program. Every subject is introduced by Richard Gere or Keanu Reeves.
The series features His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Ribur Rinpoche, Lama Zopa Rinpoche, Lama Thubten Yeshe, Kirti Tsenshab Rinpoche, and other Tibetan lamas. Western teachers in the series include Ven. Robina Courtin, Ven. Sangye Khadro, Ven. Thubten Chodron, Jan Willis, and others. On these thirteen DVDs, each subject is introduced by both a Tibetan and a Western teacher; these explanations are then followed by an informal conversation with a Western student who talks about how the practice and contemplation of that subject has affected their life.
