Holy Land

In 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.
