BBC - The Life of the Buddha
Syndicated from: Awakening Soul on Fri, 03/21/2008 - 17:11 syndicated blogsThis is an excellent retelling of Siddhārtha Gautama's life. Admittedly I am often critical of the BBC, but this documentary demonstrates that they can produce quality programming on issues such as faith and identity. It would be great to see a series of these documentaries covering all of the world's religious figureheads.

Syndicated from: Awakening Soul on Thu, 03/20/2008 - 12:20 syndicated blogsI applaud the BBC for attempting a prime-time retelling of The Passion, but as many commentators have already noted in the press, the cosy soap-style acting tends to undermine the whole event making it appear more like Life of Brian than a revolutionary and deeply spiritual moment in human history.
Jesus, The Christian Ideal
Syndicated from: Awakening Soul on Thu, 03/20/2008 - 01:55 syndicated blogs"Even those who have renounced Christianity and attack it, in their inmost being still follow the Christian ideal, for hitherto neither their subtlety nor the ardour of their hearts has been able to create a higher ideal of man and of virtue than the ideal given by Christ of old."
--Fyodor Dostoyevsky
