Freedom Here and Now
Film by Jim Lenkin and David Godman

Poonjaji, a disciple of Ramana Maharshi, realised the Self in the presence of his Master in the 1940's. Since his realisation, he has been communicating his experience to those who come to see him. This film is about freedom and enlightenment. Not freedom at some future date but, NOW. Harilal Poonja, also known as Papaji, is not going to tell you how to get it, he is going to tell you who and what you really are. And if you listen to him with a silent mind, you will discover: You are Freedom Itself.
This DVD captures beautifully Poonjaji as he discusses the nature of enlightenment and the impediments which seem to obscure it. His message is clear: "We already are that for which we are seeking."

"Perfect awakening is possible here and now for very human being, regardless of background, practice or personal circumstances. You are already free! Anything gained afresh will be lost. What is eternal is always within you, as your own Self. The Self will reveal itself to itself in the twinkling of any eye once you abandon all hope and desire, the age-old disease of the mind. Keep quiet. Don't allow a single thought to stir. be effortless and in an instant you will discover that you have always been free."

      A path of wisdom
A film by Olivier and Luc Maréchaux

This film reveals the depth of an interior path pursued by a man for more than fifty years with total commitment. A doctor in France, he left everything to go to India to look for a spiritual leader that in the end he found in Ma Anandamayi.
At 92, he has retained the humour and humility of the one who continues his path in all serenity. The word of the man, Vijayananda, has particular impact on Westerners because it is one of them who speaks about the long journey into the heart of the mystic tradition of india.

 THE MESSAGE OF THE TIBETANS      2 FILMS ON 1 DVD
      FILM 1:  Buddhism
      FILM 2:  Tantrism
By Arnaud Desjardins

Arnaud Desjardins met His Holiness the Dalai Lama for the first time in 1963 and gained his support to shoot these two films. All the most revered masters agreed to participate in the making of the films: the Dalai Lama in person,Kyabdje Trijang Rinpoche, Kyabdje Ling Rinpoche, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, Dudjom Rinpoche, the XVIth Gyalwa Karmapa , Dugpa Tupse Rinpoche, Chatral Rinpoche, The Yogis Abo Rinpoche and Lopon Sonam Zangpo, the Sakya Lama Trizin, Tai Situ Rinpoche and Shamar Rinpoche still adolescent, and many others eminent masters.

"I am delighted to have been able to watch the English version of The Message of the Tibetans, which consists of a film shot by Arnaud Desjardins in 1965 and 1967. It provides us with a living document of some of the great masters then living and also of children who as adults today have the responsibility of carrying on the Tibetan tradition. I myself was only thirty at the time and like most of my compatriots had little experience of the outside world. However, we were all determined to work hard to preserve our unique culture, particularly our rich Buddhist heritage. Today, when we look back, we can note with satisfaction the achievements we have made in educating our young people and preserving our cultural traditions and values at at time when they are under threat of extinction in our homeland. Tibetan culture, as this film shows, places great importance to compassion and nonviolence. It is because of these essential humane values that I feel that we have a contribution to make to peace in the world. So, the Tibetans' message is that it is not the possession of wealth and weapons, but whether you have patience, compassion and concern for others - that is the source of peace and happiness."
                                                  - His Holiness the Dalai Lama
