n this unprecedented dialogue, held at Tibet House New York in December, 1999, Robert Thurman and Deepak Chopra explore the ultimate harmonies between Buddhism and Vedanta. The Rishis, the sages of India, and the Buddha, the Enlightened One, teach the way to freedom from suffering. Vedanta describes reality as magical projection of divine consciousness which we all share. Buddhism teaches the total awareness of reality, awareness that embraces our ultimate oneness and our relative, or virtual individuality. When we know we are God, we connect to all beings through buddhahood. Science and poetry meet in the mantra - OM MANI PADME HUM. 86 minutes
"Love is the ultimate truth at the heart of creation. We are all the same being in different disguises. If I start to peel the layers of my soul, I begin to go beyond my constricted fabricated self and discover who I really am." - DEEPAK CHOPRA
"It comes from India, the idea that we can know our way free from suffering. Our actual birthright as human beings is that we have the right to be in love with all beings, the entire universe, all the time. God means being in love with everything." - ROBERT THURMAN
