Watch the introduction to a Buddhist video series, featuring Richard Gere and Keanu Reeves.
Buddhism remains exotic for some, misunderstood by many. But the truth of the ideas discovered by the first Buddha 2500 years ago remain unmatched in their power to transform.
My own introduction to Buddhism came in the form of rubbing a pocket-sized Buddha’s belly before our high school basketball game. But since then, it took a chance encounter with a book to introduce me to the dhamma (teachings).
Recently, while browsing for SNL’s Motherlover educational video clips, I came across an entire series offering an excellent primer on Buddhism. And best of all… the online version is free.
Watch the entire 13 part series here.

You have to admit, Keanu is a really relaxed guy. No matter what role he’s playing… must be the Buddhism!

Yep, Keanu Reeves, Richard Gere, Goldie Hawn, George Lucas, Jennifer Lopez, Uma Thurman…lots of famous people are purported Buddhists. Enjoyed the video. The fact that Buddhism keeps entering (and resonating with) my consciousness tells me I should look more deeply into it. Thanks for the video–and the link.

You’re right Jonathan, they’re all Buddhists including my favorites — Sting, Jet Li and Tiger Woods. Good luck on your path to Enlightenment.
