The Robert A.F. Thurman Collection (On Tibet / On Buddhism) Reviews
Wonderful Lecture Series
For what this DVD is - a lecture series, not a documentary, it is truly a great buy. I bought this to watch with a friend of mine, and she ended up wanting to watch all four hours on Tibet in a single afternoon! We did just that, and didn't get bored once (although we did have to use the "pause" button to go to the bathroom!)
Professor Thurman is a very knowledgeable man, and it is amazing to watch him rattle off a two-hour lecture while hardly ever referring to any notes. I know my friend was somewhat disappointed that there weren't any pictures of Tibet in the lecture, and maybe Professor Thurman might consider doing a "combo plate" of pictures and lecture at some later date. All in all, excellent if you are interested in learning about Buddhism in general (obviously Professor Thurman's major interest is with Tibetan Buddhism), or about the history of Tibet.
A bit rushed but great information.
Robert Thurman is passionate about tibet and buddhism and it shows. He is easy to listen to, articulate and intelligent. He has so much information in his head and I wish he had fleshed out his myriad of diatribes. He often veers off telling a great side story and then stops himself to stay on point. It's a big tease as I would like to hear the rest of the story! (most likely he was pressed for time as this was a live lecture) I hope he puts together a more in depth dvd series such as a set of 12 or 24 (hehe) but in the mean time this set is definitely worth owning.
