When Geshe Kelsang here is speaking about following both religions but eventually having to choose one, he is responding to the interviewer's asking him about his view of Christianity. Ta.
These extracts are from a documentary called, I think, 'The Guide', filmed at Manjushri Centre, Cumbria, in 1995. I think that the crew were not specifically connected to Kadampa Buddhism but wanted to make a product of this nature for television, however I don't think the TV channels at that time were interested, so it was just sold to Buddhists as a VHS cassette. It incorporated interviews from Manjushri residents at that time and some footage from a prayer session with Geshe Kelsang, as well as an account of one man's spiritual journey prompted by his cancer. Also there is a contribution from the Morecambe Bay sands walking guide, as an example of the principle of how a spiritual guide knows the way safely across danger.
+Mole Town Nice synopsis, Mole Town! As the producer of this video, I can vouch for its accuracy!! Yes, the title is The Guide - Following The Buddhist Path, and you're absolutely correct that we were not connected to the NKT - just curious onlookers. Given the number of excerpts floating around RUclips without credit or permission, I suppose I should be flattered...
Hi Mole Town, Very nice resumption, I know that documentary myself and have liked it a lot, also had a VHS cassette in 2004 that I picked up in a Tharpa store in Basel, CH. I thought I saw it on RUclips for a while, but I'm not sure if it's still available. I especially enjoyed the filming of Geshe-la's (first?) visit in Seattle, WA, and this above interview extract which is precious. Thank you again, and best regards from Salt Lake City, UT.
what an amazing man, im very greatful i found geshe teaching of dharma
Really nice video. I like him very much.x
At 3:53, I think Geshe Kelsang is saying; 'But we failed' rather than; 'But we felt'.
