Description

These three documentaries present legendary places in Southeast Asia and Tibet, including the spiritual wonders of Laos, Thailand, Burma, Bali, Cambodia, Java, and Central Tibet. Dharma River:The Buddha image reverberates through this video and in temples, caves and shrines. The film explores the different cultural representations of this universal icon of inner peace and its relevance. Prajna Earth:This documentary explores the lost civilization of Angkor in Cambodia, including the largest temple in the world, the Angkor Wat. It continues to sacred sites, travels through Hindu Bali, witnesses trance dancers in the jungles of Java, and discovers the seven level mandala wonder of Buddhist Borobudur. Vajra Sky Over Tibet:This video travels through Himalayan terrain, visiting temples, monasteries and festivals.  The power of Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism resonates in its sacred shrines including the Jokhang Temples and the empty Potala Palace, home of the Dalai Lama.

St. Francis Xavier University and Coady Institute stand on the lands of Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded home of the Mi’kmaw. We express our deep gratitude and appreciation to the generations of Mi’kmaw who, since time immemorial, have loved and stewarded these lands and the beings who call them home. Colonization is not just history; it exists in the present tense. While we strive to decolonize ourselves and our University, we know there is still much for us to learn.

We are committed to doing the hard work of self-reflection and to repairing relationships with the Mi’kmaw on whose lands we reside, including embracing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Calls to Action and embodying their spirit in our plans to move forward with our University.
