8. Nalanda University, Bihar, India
The eight episodes of the documentary film series Sacred Places of The Buddhists, directed by Bogdan Florin Paul and with Titi Tudorancea as Supervising Editor / Executive Producer, are a journey that is both historical and geographical, as well as doctrinal, being an excellent introduction to the life and teachings of the Buddha, in which current places and historical facts intertwine with sensitivity and a devotional way of discovering the ancient Buddhist teachings.
Designed to appear successively over several months, between 2024 and 2026, the episodes narrate important aspects of the Buddha's life and the period immediately following his passing from this world, emphasizing the teachings given to the community of bhikkhus but also to the lay people who followed his way of seeing things.
The series' narrative follows the thread of the Tipitaka Canon, and the imagery, combining field footage from India and Nepal filmed in 2024 with illustrations of scenes from the Buddha's life, switches back and forth between history and the present in a remarkable way.
The production of the series benefited from the support of several Indian and Nepalese individuals and institutions, and of numerous bhikkhus from India, Thailand, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Cambodia, in a sincere effort to highlight an invaluable spiritual heritage.
By watching this documentary series, you will see what the places where The Buddha once sat in samadhi look like today, you will learn the history of each one and, at the same time, you will feel the fragrance of the meditative states with which they are imbued.
You can watch the series Sacred Places of The Buddhists either here on The Titi Tudorancea Yoga Bulletin, or on Youtube.
