- Synopsis:
Are emotions an impediment to spiritual growth? Are some emotions more spiritual than others? How should a spiritual seeker orient towards emotions? "Tears of the Buddha: Spirituality and Emotions" takes a serious look at the role of emotion on the spiritual path. Through interviews with modern Buddhistic teachers, this documentary presents a unique comparison of teachings about an important topic that has been over-looked for far too long. The film has profound implications for seekers. Director Joel Lesko, a longtime meditator, set out as a filmmaker to explore how spiritual teachings about emotions impact daily life. Drawing on his personal experience, Joel's questions range from practical to metaphysical, and lead the teachers into an important exploration about individual selfhood - is it real or an illusion? Over the past 25 years, Joel has produced films on important topics in spirituality, politics, business and health. His work has received numerous awards, and appeared on network and cable TV. - Actors:
