From the PBS website<\/a> on the two-hour special, \u201cThe Buddha\u201d (which aired on April 7):<\/p>\n

\u201cThis documentary for PBS by award-winning filmmaker David Grubin and narrated by Richard Gere, tells the story of the Buddha\u2019s life, a journey especially relevant to our own bewildering times of violent change and spiritual confusion. It features the work of some of the world\u2019s greatest artists and sculptors, who across two millennia, have depicted the Buddha\u2019s life in art rich in beauty and complexity. Hear insights into the ancient narrative by contemporary Buddhists, including Pulitzer Prize winning poet W.S. Merwin and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Join the conversation and learn more about meditation, the history of Buddhism<\/a>, and how to incorporate the Buddha\u2019s teachings on compassion and mindfulness into daily life.\u201d<\/p>\n

The site includes an excellent set of teaching resources<\/a>.<\/p>\n
