Description of REFUGE
NY TIMES~ Laura Kern John Halpern's "Refuge" is a 58-minute look at how citizens of the Western world are becoming increasingly drawn to Eastern thought and the appeal of Tibetan Buddhism. In our celebrity-driven society, filmmakers are partly responsible for this rapid growth in awareness, by creating serious works influenced by Buddhist tenets or by publicly recognizing its potential benefits. ...Buddhist nuns and the Dalai Lama reveal that Easterners, too, have found sanctuary in the other side, traveling more frequently to the West to share their views and to open meditation centers. * * * The story of REFUGE is told by a series of first time interviews with renowned filmmakers who have made major motion pictures about Buddhism and by accomplished Tibetan masters who have established themselves here, in the West. salon.com~Andrew O'Hehir "REFUGE remains a calm and reassuring picture, but never an incurious one. He's not afraid to explore the sexual and financial scandals that have affected some Buddhist ventures in the West, or the tendency of some overly enthusiastic Western practitioners to focus on the ritual elements of Buddhist worship and to breed an isolated, cult-like atmosphere... a charming, informative and sometimes quietly humorous exploration of an influential movement..." REFUGE is filled with beautiful images from Dharamsala and Bodaghaya , India, Tibet, Nepal, New York and California. All questions about "What is contemporary Buddhism now?" are answered by Hollywood's foremost movie directors and the greatest living meditation masters who have established themselves in the West. Director John Halpern traveled to Dharamsala and Bodghaya, India, Tibet, Nepal, New York and California to tell this story. Artist and writer Les Levine's narration guides us through the development of these stories and the film features music by acclaimed composer Steve Reich.Bestsellers in DVD
