RECOMMENDED Spiritual Documentaries & Books

The creators of these documentaries and books haven't paid me to advertise, in fact they haven't a clue that I have uploaded a recommendation of their work. If you click on each photograph it will take you to the freely distributed online movie or pdf shared by the respective authors & directors.
As my spiritual journey deepens with the help of vipassana and yoga, these documentaries have reinforced many concepts and I would like to share them with my clients, and whoever else perchances upon my site, so that I can spread the light of yoga and request everyone to choose love, tolerance and peace... om tat sat

A WISE MAN HAS SAID: ”HE WHO IS CONTENT WITH HIMSELF HAS DONE WORTHLESS WORK. ACHIEVEMENT IS THE BEGINNING OF FAILURE, FAME IS THE BEGINNING OF DISGRACE.” WHO CAN FREE HIMSELF OF ACHIEVEMENT AND FAME THEN DESCEND AND BE LOST AMID THE MASSES OF MEN? HE WILL FLOW LIKE TAO, UNSEEN, HE WILL GO ABOUT LIKE LIFE ITSELF WITH NO NAME AND NO HOME. SIMPLE IS HE, WITHOUT DISTINCTION. TO ALL APPEARANCES HE IS A FOOL. HIS STEPS LEAVE NO TRACE. HE HAS NO POWER. HE ACHIEVES NOTHING, HE HAS NO REPUTATION. SINCE HE JUDGES NO ONE, NO ONE JUDGES HIM. SUCH IS THE PERFECT MAN – HIS BOAT IS EMPTY."

"...if we were to respond to difficult situations with a positive or peaceful mind they would not be problems for us; indeed we may even come to regard them as challenges or opportunities for growth and development. Problems arise on if we respond to difficulties with a negative state of mind. Therefore, if we want to be free from problems, we must transform our mind. Buddha taught that the mind has the power to create all pleasant and unpleasant objects.. The world is a result of the karma, or actions, of the beings who inhabit it."

"We are soul... as souls, we are not under time or space. We are infinite..." ~Ram Dass

"Life sometimes is hard. There are challenges. There are difficulties. There is pain. As a younger man I sought to avoid them and only ever caused myself more of the same. These days I choose to face life head on—and I have become a comet. I arc across the sky of my life and the harder times are the friction that lets the worn and tired bits drop away. It's a good way to travel; eventually I will wear away all resistance until all there is left of me is light. I can live towards that end." —Richard Wagamese, Embers

In a world of endless questions, love is the only answer ~ Matt Kahn
