To celebrate our Buddhism and Yoga pages on the Buddhism 101 project the video workshops of the Buddha's Face have commissioned a beautiful and calming music video of high definition yoga images and set them against a video backdrop of yoga and HD beach scenes. The music is by the trance artists Blank and Jones and is called Lullaby.

"This calm steadiness of the senses is called yoga.
Then one should become watchful, becomes yoga comes and go."

A Single Flower - HD Music Video




If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly then our whole life would change so spoke the Buddha.

The Buddha's Face video workshop has taken that simple concept and created a multimedia presentation around this beautiful and inspiring quote.

Using time lapse flower photography and excerpts from Bernardo Bertolucci's The Little Buddha combined with photos and a compilation of combat footage from the Iraq war we have tried to contrast the words and wisdom of the enlightened one with those actions that result when we forget the beauty and majesty of the world in which we live.

A continuing episode from the Buddha's Face Buddhism 101 Project the most comprehensive and entertaining source of Buddhist related information on the web.

The Buddha's Enlightenment

He sat beneath a sacred fig tree (Ficus religiosa), which would be known hereafter as the Bodhi Tree, and began meditation.

Buddhist mythology represents this as a great battle with demons symbolized by Mara a demon of destruction and was followed by an attempt to seduce him in his mind. However he resisted all these challenges and finally it is said Mara succumbed to the greater strength and discipline of the Prince – he was stilled and as the morning star rose as night ended he realised he had reached enlightenment and become a Buddha.

The Buddha Comes to Hollywood - Buddhism in the Movies

For my personal Top 10 Favourite Buddhist movie clips of all time from You Tube click here

For people not born Buddhists it can be difficult to understand the teachings and philosophy of Buddhism. In the West we belong and seek attachment ,wealth and the cult of the individual are dominant and this is in opposition to the teachings of the Buddha.That's where the popular medium of the movies and in particular Hollywood can help - they can feature,pain, loss, desire and attachment thus these common themes relate directly to the viewer about the major themes of Buddhism.

1. A monk once asked a Zen Master where he would go after he died. The master replied How should I knowHow do you not know? Youre a Zen master! exclaimed the monk
Yes, but not a dead one, the master answered.
2. Do not look for the truth, merely cease to cherish your opinions.
3. If you understand, things are just as they are; if you do not understand, things are just as they are.
4. The tighter you squeeze the less you have.
5. When you have reached the top, dont stop.
6. If a river is too pure, it yields no fish.
7. Be master of mind rather than mastered by mind.
8. From a withered tree, a flower can bloom.
9. The infinite is in the finite of every instant.
10. When you harbour delusions and are full of doubt, even a thousand books of religious learning are not enough. When you have reached enlightenment , even one word is too much.
