Mystic Fire Video is a publisher of works on a wide range of topics in the life of the mind, including experimental video art, documentaries on ancient cultures, portraits of accomplished spiritual leaders and interesting works on the holistic sciences. Tibet House, of New York City, is dedicated to the proposition that the wisdom and art of all human civilizations will vitally enrich the emerging global culture. This dialog is a document of a live presentation between Columbia University professor and author Robert Thurman and Deepak Chopra MD, physician, a student of Indian Philosophy and author of many books. Mr. Chopra presents views from Vedanta, one of the six classical systems of Indian philosophy. The term Vedanta refers both to the wisdom of the Upanishads, which makes up the last section of the Veda, and to the realization of its ultimate significance. Mr. Thurman presents views from Buddhism, which is a kind of reform movement within Hindu thought that has become an independent pluralistic tradition of it's own.In the begining, Mr. Chopra sums up the core teaching of Vedanta. He describes some of the causes of human suffering and also describes some of the suggested paths to discovering the true nature of reality. With a background in the field of medicine, Mr. Chopra conveys his insight and knowledge through a kind of systematic, formal approach to verbal communication. Mr. Thurman, with his years of experience in speaking with skeptical college students, takes a more free approach, and works to win the heart of his audience."Robert Thurman, professor e budista, junto com Deepak Chopra, médico e estudante de filosofia Vedanta, discutem as grandes questões da idade moderna, no contexto de duas das mais antigas religiões do mundo. Instigante e inspirador."
