excerpt

"...lyrically poetic and visually stunning.
Don't miss this dazzling glimpse of a sacred world."

YATRA TRILOGY
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' carries us along in the stream of spiritual blessings and delight. This visual feast transports us into the ancient yet timeless mystic East in a way that goes beyond place and time to touch the eternal."

"Watching 'Dharma River' is a visual meditation and a contemplative experience. I thoroughly enjoyed making this sacred journey with John Bush and know others will too."

"'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."
