4.0 out of 5 stars Knowledgeable and quickly delivered, June 22, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Robert A.F. Thurman Collection (On Tibet / On Buddhism) (DVD)

There is no doubt that Mr.Thurman has a vast knowledge of the subjects he lectures about (Tibet and Buddhism), but his information is delivered so excitedly that it is, at times, hard to follow. I found myself rewinding a lot just to let his words seep in. This DVD set is great for those who wish to expand their knowledge of both subjects, but the viewer should also have a pot of coffee handy in order to stay keen enough to follow Thurman's deeply detailed lecture on the history of Tibet and it's form of Buddhism. I would have gladly given this DVD 5 stars if only it were another two hours long, so Thurman could slow down and dive even deeper into his well of knowledge.

This review is from: The Robert A.F. Thurman Collection (On Tibet / On Buddhism) (DVD)

There is so much information in this DVD that I am sorry for the actual persons at the lecture. The DVD is great because you can listen to it many times. Each time you pick up more and more and finally you realize what an incredible journey he takes you through. Robert is a wonderful lecturer, funny, happy, and has a lot to give. It is one of the definite best buys.

4.0 out of 5 stars A bit rushed but great information., September 3, 2005

This review is from: The Robert A.F. Thurman Collection (On Tibet / On Buddhism) (DVD)

Robert Thurman is passionate about tibet and buddhism and it shows. He is easy to listen to, articulate and intelligent. He has so much information in his head and I wish he had fleshed out his myriad of diatribes. He often veers off telling a great side story and then stops himself to stay on point. It's a big tease as I would like to hear the rest of the story! (most likely he was pressed for time as this was a live lecture) I hope he puts together a more in depth dvd series such as a set of 12 or 24 (hehe) but in the mean time this set is definitely worth owning.
