We believe that the insights of Buddhism can create an important path for personal and societal transformation, so we sponsor programmes that provide a variety of views and tools to apply these insights to their everyday life.
The Buddha, A Film by David GrubinThe Buddha, a two-hour documentary by award-winning filmmaker David Grubin, tells the story of the Buddha's life and his teachings. Experts from a variety of disciplines relate the key episodes of the Buddha's life and reflect on what his journey means for us today. These experts include poets Jane Hirshfield and W.S. Merwin; scholars Robert Thurman; astrophysicist Trinh Xuan Thuan; and psychiatrist Mark Epstein, as well as practicing Buddhist monastics. A companion website is developed to serve as a resource center and an exchange platform. All are encouraged to visit the website at http://www.pbs.org/thebuddha to learn more about the history of Buddhism, view articles and interviews, share stories and explore how to incorporate the Buddha's teachings on compassion and mindfulness into daily life. The website also features the work of some of the world's most important artists and sculptors, who across two millennia, have depicted the Buddha's life in art rich in beauty and complexity. The Foundation supports the project as it helps promote to a broader audience a deeper understanding of Buddhism.
