A film by John Bush. Review Highly Recommended... For anyone interested in alternative spiritual traditions, or Eastern culture in general, this set is a must-have. One of the few documentaries that entertains as well as enlightens, this trilogy is sumptuous both visually and aurally.... --Jeffrey Kaufmann, DVD TalkThe trilogy fills us with wonder at the spiritual culture--past and present--from this vibrant region. Viewers will be awed by this luminous world--so rarely captured on film. --Bo Smith, Head of Film Museum of Fine Arts, BostonThe Yatra Trilogy offers up the mesmerizing beauty and ineffable power of places most of us will never see.From the earliest images of the Buddha's footprint to the gargantuan gold statues of Southeast Asia to the awe-inspiring intricacy of Tibetan mandalas, dharma imagery has inspired humans to stick to the path. So it seems only natural that the digital age would bring us digital aids for practice meant to inspire authentic devotion in the same spirit as a seventeenth-century Laotian wood-carving of the Buddha's hand.
