  • "The Buddha is a two part documentary from Emmy Award-winning filmmaker David Grubin, narrated by Richard Gere. The story of Siddhartha is the spiritual journey of the Indian prince and sage who attained enlightenment two and a half millennia ago and spent the remainder of his life as the Buddha, teaching others what he had learned. It is a journey especially relevant to our own bewildering times of violent change and spiritual confusion."

  • "The Buddha, a two-hour documentary by Emmy Award-winner David Grubin, tells the story of the Indian sage who attained enlightenment as he sat beneath a fig tree two-and-a-half millennia ago. The Buddha never claimed to be God or God's emissary on earth. He was a human being who, in a world of unavoidable pain and suffering, found a serenity that he taught others to fin also. With original animation women throughout, The Buddha draws upon paintings and sculptures across two millennia as well as scenes in India today that echo the Buddha's world of long ago. The testimony of contemporary Buddhists, including Pulitzer Prize-winning poet WS Merwin and his Holiness the Dalai Lama, provide insight into the ancient narrative. --Conteneur."
  • "Two and a half millennia ago, a new religion was born in India, generated from the ideas of the Buddha, a mysterious Indian sage who gained enlightenment while he sat under a large, shapely fig tree. The Buddha never claimed to be God or his emissary on earth, only that he was a human being who had found a kind of serenity that others could find, too. This documentary tells the story of his life, a journey especially relevant in our own times."@en
