To Touch and
Be Touched - A Buddhist Pilgrimage
"Your many hours of labor and attention to detail have
resulted in an outstanding presentation."- Kathy H.
"You both deserve a pat on the back for creating something
so wonderful to share with others."- Sidney G.
"I too lost a child, and your film has given me the idea
of doing some kind of ritual or retreat to mark the 5th anniversary
of his death and deepen my acceptance."-
Nancy B.
"Seamless...Your photography was quite beautiful."
- Carol O.
"We viewed your video, "To Touch and Be Touched: A Buddhist
Pilgrimage," last night and we want to tell you how much we
appreciated the spirit, the beauty, the touching devotion of
all concerned, in the face of a kind of suffering neither of
us believe that we good endure. The concluding image of the
"rebirth" in a family member allowed us to cry freely, while
we were grieving quietly during the previous sections. In addition
to that personal aspect, your clear professionalism, the relevance
of the Buddha story and its creative enactment were indeed visible.
We plan to pass on this video... so that ...others can see it."
Marvin Spiegelman, Ph.D. Jungian Analyst
"I have studied and practiced Buddhism for 17 years, and
in doing so surveyed all the major Buddhist sects. I found your
video profoundly moving, and an excellent introduction to Buddhism.
While I can not claim to be a Buddhist scholar, at an academic
level, my study of Buddhism has been very deep, and very nearly
at the same level as an academic. Your video provides a very
clear explanation of some of the more difficult ideas in later
Buddhism, such as the emptiness of all phenomena, sunyata. Thank
you for producing such a wonderful work, which is truly a gift
to humanity."
- Dr. Martin G. Bello
