Abstract:

"This series has served as the basis of successful religious philosophy courses around the world. An American Film Festival Red Ribbon winner, the series gives a balanced treatment of a force that is sadly neglected in most educations, the basic beliefs of the major religions in the world today. Ronald Eyre takes the viewer on a pilgrimage beginning in London and spanning 150,000 miles including India, Japan, Israel, Rumania, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong, the United States, Egypt, and South Africa." BUDDHISM: FOOTPRINT OF THE BUDDHA--INDIA. "In exploring the type of Buddhism practiced throughout Southeast Asia, we visit Sri Lanka and India meeting Buddhist monks, including one American, children and housewives. Each shares their own experience in a religion that has high moral standards but does not believe in God."
