Review In the Spirit of Manjushri / Mystic Fire Video:His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama held a series of advanced teachings in the West, several of which have been captured in extensive video collections. The Wisdom of Manjushri is one such video document: the record of three days in May 1998 when His Holiness was joined in New York City by Venerable Master Sheng-yen of the Ch'an lineage to discuss the central Buddhist teachings on wisdom. The Tibetan tradition, a Vajrayan tradition, incorporates tantric practices guided by a Lama along with more analytical meditations. Manjushri, one among the pantheon of tantric meditational deities, is the embodiment of Buddha's wisdom. In the first tape, His Holiness addresses the core understanding of wisdom in Buddhist teaching: the right understanding of emptiness. Emptiness is thoroughly described in the Prajnaparamita Sutra (known in the West as the Heart Sutra, or teaching), but His Holiness goes also to the Four Noble Truths-particularly to the Third Truth of the Cessation of Suffering-for the root of wisdom. In the second tape, His Holiness discusses the three phases of Manjushri's wisdom: (1) Renunciation, or transcendence of suffering; (2) Cultivation of Bodhichitta, or the desire to achieve enlightenment for all sentient beings; (3) Development of the wisdom of emptiness. The second tape also contains a powerful, personal moment for the Dalai Lama. In discussing his own life and struggles as a student of Buddhism, he stresses how difficult it is to achieve a clear understanding of emptiness. Then, pausing, he begins to weep. [+]He reflects on the great strength he has found in his life from his faith and admiration for altruistic past masters. His tears are of thanks and joy. The third tape, in contrast, is a deeply intellectual discussion of the many philosophical interpretations-from Tibet, India, and elsewhere-of the nature of reality. Here, the Dalai Lama's impressive scholarship is readily apparent, though the discussion is infused with his compassion for the many views. In the final tape, His Holiness gives the Buddhist precepts and the Manjushri empowerment. Finally, Master Sheng-yen and His Holiness join for a dialogue on emptiness, a historic discussion that merges two of the greatest unbroken lineages in the Buddhist tradition. -Patrick O'Kelley.

Review Cayce, Edgar (4pc) / Wellspring Media:This quartet of videos on the teachings of psychic healer Edgar Cayce are a capable combination of history and how-to. The idea is not to worship the "medical clairvoyant" but to learn his principles well enough to put them into practice. With slow, steady pacing, host Mark Thurston seems like Mr. Rogers taking on the spiritual world. Each video is laden with experts, including psychologists, physicians, and lecturers, as well as less mainstream experts-a natural healer, an intuitive parent, a spiritual guidance counselor. Edgar Cayce on Dreams is the easiest to relate to, and perhaps the most mesmerizing (who hasn't wondered what their dreams mean?), brimming with easy-to-understand advice on dream interpretation. Edgar Cayce on Healing explains his beliefs in the power of natural healing, with plenty of lists to help clarify concepts. Edgar Cayce on Practical Spirituality, featuring Cayce's grandson, offers abundant advice on how to live a spiritual life. The host seems a little uncomfortable in Edgar Cayce on Intuition, perhaps because the subject matter, psychic phenomenon, is a little out there, and definitely not for the skeptical. Still, even when tackling telepathic dreams or intuitive diagnosis, the observations always remain easy to follow. [+]As a whole, the series is an accessible self-help video handbook to views that Cayce (who died in 1945) predicted would be embraced by the modern world. -Valerie J. Nelson.

Review Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth (6pc) / Mystic Fire Video:Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth is essential viewing for anyone old enough to appreciate its vital teachings. One of the greatest interviews ever recorded, this six-part, six-hour encounter between teacher- mythologist Campbell and student-journalist Bill Moyers (recorded in the two years preceding Campbell's death in 1988) covers a galaxy of topics related to Campbell's central themes: Mythology is humanity's universal method of seeking the transcendental, and "follow your bliss" is the timeless formula for spiritual satisfaction. Campbell himself is the embodiment of these themes, an erudite scholar and quintessential storyteller, recalling a wide spectrum of myths from throughout history (Japanese, Native American, Egyptian, Mayan, and many more) to illustrate humankind's eternal quest to grasp the mysteries of creation. Historical artifacts and illustrations bring these timeless stories to life. An astute interviewer, Moyers is an acolyte in perfect harmony with Campbell-as- mentor, wording questions with penetrating perfection as their intellectual dance reaches exhilarating heights of meaning and fascination. Moyers also finds the perfect hook for a global audience, examining Campbell's admiration of George Lucas's Star Wars saga as a popular tapestry of ancient myths, and Lucas himself is interviewed in a DVD bonus segment ("I'm not creating a new myth," he says, "but telling old myths in a new way"). Campbell's seemingly endless well of knowledge reaches a simple conclusion: we need myths to survive like we need oxygen to breathe, as a life force with which to understand our existence-past, present, and future. -Jeff Shannon.
