Buddha (13 dvd set)

About shipment - quite good. Got it within the specified time. About the product: Product is made with good quality, I would say good for the price range. It comes with book separators and some paper weight, although I'm not too concern with these gadgets. I had a problem with one of the DVD, it did not play properly (disk 9 in my case). I contacted the seller and received a replacement DVD within reasonable time frame. Excellent seller. About the movie: In terms of movie productions, this is excellent (much better than many Hollywood films). The CGI is good enough. In terms of the plots, I think it emphasizes too much during the growing up period, i.e., from Sitthata pre-birth to his turning to ascetic hood, it covers 65% - 70% of the story. In my view, the producer over emphasize background or drama scenes of those various characters. Mangala in particular. Perhaps, this may be a characteristic of Bollywood films. The story really become much more interesting and cover very well the key parts with its details as most Buddhist now know from the Tipitaka. The enlightenment scenes was excellent. The DVD has its audio in Hindi with English subtitle. This is where I would beg the producer to please redo this part and release DVD again. As a none Indian person, I feel strongly that the English subtitle miss out a lot of critical information. Better yet, an English audio version would be ideal. That said, I still say that this is the best Buddha biography ever !!

I was concerned after reading various accounts and reviews of overall quality of product. I can report to you without any hesitation that the quick delivery, timely responses from the seller (when I asked quality of product and tracking questions). The product Buddha including English subtitles has met all my high expectations. The video and audio are of excellent quality. I was skeptical making this purchase yet the seller reassured me of overall quality of the delivery and product. He was not stretching the truth to get a sale. It was a quality purchase.

I have watched all 55 episodes of this series 3 times already. I simply had to have the DVD set, & I will watch this over & over again to cement its principles firmly in my consciousness. The series is incredibly well acted and beautifully written, with the barest minimum of English translation errors, which do not impact your understanding the material at all. It is profoundly wise, & cinematically gorgeous! The principles espoused make it a worthwhile venture for everyone, regardless.

it was disappointing. I love the Netflix series. The box set looks very professionally packaged, but when you try to play the discs, about 40 - 55% of them, i guess do not have the subtitles. So its worthless to me, as a English speaker, as the series is all in Hindi. Then there was one complete episode missing. The subtitles are nowhere near as good as the ones used on Netflix, and they are not the same, ie, they use a different translation, and they have a smaller font with black outline. So.. nice box. I've had to try resorting to screengrabs using Quicktime. Next off, I tried using the two available email addresses to write to the production complany and the home ZeeTv email.. no reply, no response. So.. what can I say? They did a great job on making the movie and I am so grateful for that.. the dvd set.. bit of a waste of my money.

I really like this production of Buddha. The movie sets are beautiful, the actors are talented and the story are retold beautifully. I wish they have the series in blu ray. The DVD may be clear for 40 inches TV but not bigger TV. All the DVD worked. The subtitles are not as good or clear as the one on Netflix. Overall, I would give this series a 4.5 stars.

I watched it with Netflix and after watching the DVD I found that the translation was not as good and specially some parts for cut which is a pity - specially parts that concerned Buddha's teaching.

Purchased set of Buddha few dvds were freezing n one DVD was missing from set, end up returning for credit.

Being a student of Western Buddhism, getting this close to Buddha Shakyamuni's life is amazing. Everything since his ancestors, birth, childhood and young age as prince of the Shakyas, his surrender of al possessions and meditative experiences for 6 years under the Bodhi tree, his 84,000 teachings, seeing many of his brothers and other relatives become early monks and his mother becoming the first buddhist female monk (nun in our days), to his death. AMAZING!!!!!

I have recommended this to my friends and even monks. This is a must watch and no hassle seller. I’m so happy I bought it.

Complètement « pathos », du mauvais Bollywood! L’histoire du bouddha étirée comme du chewing gum, sur-joué, long à n’en plus finir, « bubble gum à petit budget ». J’adore le cinéma indien, les Bollywood bien réalisés, mais ici c’est à l’an limite du supportable.
