| Summary |
Forms part of a series on world religions in which theater director Ronald Eyre travels around the globe asking people basic questions about their religious beliefs and practices. Vol. 3 visits Sri Lanka and India to discover the Theravāda Buddhism practiced throughout Southeast Asia. Includes talks with monks, school children, novices, and housewives who describe their own religious experiences and discuss the high moral standards demanded by Buddhism. Reviews the founding of Buddhism, examines the concepts of rebirth and Nirvana, and shows a village ceremony and a monastic retreat. Vol. 4 visits Rome, Spain, and England to explore the diversity and unity of the Catholic religious experience. Looks at changes in the Catholic religion since Vatican II. Examines different aspects of Catholicism through three portrayals: by the ceremony of the official church at the Vatican, as practiced by devout lay Catholics in Leeds, and as observed by the Little Brothers of Jesus in the desert of southeastern Spain. |
