This elegantly informative film by David Grubin is a must-see for anyone interested in learning more about the Buddha and Buddhism. It beautifully integrates the story of the Buddha's life with insights from modern practitioners. Documentary, fluid animation, prose, and poetry meet on the middle path to make this film entertainingly educational. It is a well-rounded refresher for those already familiar with the narrative of the Buddha, and a perfect introduction for anyone as yet unacquainted.
The film was originally broadcast on PBS, and you can find more information about it on the website: www.pbs.org/thebuddha. You can also see clips of the film there. Better yet, "The Buddha" is now available on Netflix Instant Watch! So the next time you sit down to watch a movie, pull up "The Buddha." You won't be disappointed!
