Amazon: Two and a half millennia ago, a new religion was
born in northern India, generated from the ideas of a single man, the Buddha, a
mysterious Indian sage who famously gained enlightenment while he sat under a
large, shapely fig tree. The Buddha never claimed to be God or his emissary on
earth. He said only that he was a human being who, in a world of unavoidable
pain and suffering, had found a kind of serenity that others could find, too.
This documentary by award-winning filmmaker David Grubin tells the story of his
life, a journey especially relevant in our own bewildering times of violent
change and spiritual confusion. Richard Gere narrates.
