Discovering Buddhism - 13 part video series

person

This is a 13 part video series each about 25 minutes exploring different aspects of Buddhism. It is presented by FPMT, Lama Zopa Rinpoche's organization, and, at least the first video, is taught by western monks and nuns so is easily understandable.

I've watched a few more of these and they really are fantastic videos. Really well produced and very clear on the teachings.

Thanks for the positive responses. I'm up to video number 8 and am finding them to be very good as well. I was wondering why no one was responding and was beginning to think maybe people thought Richard Gere was teaching them. Him or Keanu Reeves only give brief introductions to each topic.

I was just looking for video number 9 and discovered that the videos only go up to number 8, though I guess there are written pieces for the rest at the link.

I cannot emphasize how awesome this series is.

Not to double post, but it's really awesome. Anyone with any inkling of interest should at least watch the first module.
