"The film is a vivid and engaging account of the movement of the Buddha Dharma—the teachings and practices of Buddhism—to the West...Viewers of the film will come away with the discovery that they have learned a great deal. But even more, their hearts will have been opened and perhaps melted by the uplifting gift of genuine spirituality as it flows from teacher to student in a pattern free of time, showing us the way to go beyond the suffering and upheavals of our days and years."

Neufuture Magazine has just given BEING IN THE WORLD 9.5/10 stars!
"Written philosophical tracts are dry. I feel that Being in the World, directed by Tao Ruspoli, will do more for the discussion of philosophy (and in particular, the branch of philosophy influenced by Martin Heidegger) than hundreds of years of treatises have."

Alive Mind Cinema is excited to announce BREATH OF THE GODS, a new release soon to be available on DVD and for community screenings!Modern yoga, that is, the form practiced daily by tens of millions of people around the world, goes back directly to Lord Shiva according to Indian tradition. At the same time, however, modern yoga originated in the early 20th century, a creation of Indian savant T. Krishnamacharya (1888-1989). In BREATH OF THE GODS, Krishnamacharya’s life and teachings are seen through the eyes of the director Jan Schmidt-Garre on his search for authentic yoga. His journey leads him from the legendary students and relatives of Krishnamacharya to the source of modern yoga, at the palace of the Maharaja of Mysore.
In celebration of Native American Heritage Month, Alive Mind Cinema is offering A GOOD DAY TO DIE on DVD through December 15!
A wonderful, sorrowful, compelling film. From classrooms of fear and forced assimilation, to the climactic stand-off at Wounded Knee, it is an essential chapter in the all-too-infrequently told tale of those who can truly call this continent home." — Ken Burns, filmmaker

CRAZY WISDOM explores the arrival of Tibetan Buddhism in America through the story of Chogyam Trungpa, who landed in the U.S. in 1970. Trungpa became renowned for translating ancient Buddhist concepts into language and ideas that Westerners could understand and shattered preconceived notions about how an enlightened teacher should behave. Initially rejected, his teachings are now recognized by western philosophers and spiritual leaders as authentic and profound.
To learn more about Trungpa's teaching on our blog with Robert Walker, check out the CRAZY WISDOM website.
