1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Production Values, February 22, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Still Point-Introduction to Zen Meditation [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a 50 minute lecture by Abbot John Daido Loori on Zen Meditation, shot using only one video camera. The back cover explains Abbot Loori is a Zen priest of over 20 years experience and that he is a resident Zen teacher and spiritual director of Zen Mountain Monastery in the Catskills of New York State. He explains the sitting postures, mind-breath exercises and meditation which make up Zen. So far so good.

However, the whole project is undermined by the lack of production values: poor editing, poor camerawork, awful exposures, poor sound - all the hallmarks of a home-video. There is very little to recommend here.
