These visually stunning documentaries are cinematic pilgrimages to renowned places in Southeast Asia and Tibet. Filmmaker John Bush shares the truth, beauty and mystery of these ancient Buddhist cultures with an artist's awareness.

"John Bush's work is eye-opening and essential if you have an interest in Eastern spirituality."

-Ty Burr, Film Critic, Boston Globe

"These three lyrical films are meditations themselves. Their deliberate pacing, unobtrusive narration, and inspired sounds are created to induce an inner journey while traveling to these legendary places."

-Asia Society, New York.

-Mary Talbot, Tricycle, The Buddhist Review
