"...lyrically poetic and visually stunning.
Don't miss this dazzling glimpse of a sacred world."
Daniel Goleman, Author of Emotional Intelligence
Yatra is the Sanskrit word for pilgrimage
or spiritual journey. As the first documentary in the Yatra Trilogy,
Dharma River is a timeless journey through legendary rivers to the greatest Buddhist temples and mystical sites of Laos, Thailand, and Burma. It offers a direct experience of lost civilizations, sacred spaces, and ancient traditions.
The Buddha image reverberates continually through
Dharma River and in dozens of temples, caves, and shrines, yet it is never the same. The film’s narration explores the different cultural representations of this universal icon of inner peace and its contemporary relevance.
Journey into the living traditions and lost civilizations of this vibrant part of the world and explore the universal ideals of wisdom, compassion, and inner peace at the very heart of these ancient Buddhist cultures.

"'Dharma River'
beautifully
melds an inner
and outer journey.
Viewers find
themselves
transformed
as the voyage
takes them
through different
landscapes
of Southeast
Asia, of Buddhist
teaching,
and
of the mind."
