"Decoding Deepak" Chopra (trailer)

IndianFilmFestival.org; Gotham Chopra; Wisdom Quarterly



() Journalist and filmmaker Gotham Chopra, son of famous Indian guru/American icon Deepak Chopra, spends a year traveling the world decoding his father, resolving the picture of the spiritual icon. Who is Deepak the icon versus the real man known to his family? What starts as an intimate biopic becomes a deep plunge into the meaning of identity itself.

Sunday: Buddha's Birthday 2010 (Los Angeles)


Celebrating Vesak 2010 at Whittier Narrows
The year is 2553 B.E. Celebrants from all over Los Angeles, particularly the diverse Asian and Latin area of suburban Los Angeles known as the San Gabriel Valley, will host temple booths and events during the celebration of Vesak Day -- Buddha's 2553 B.E. Birthday.

WHAT IS VESAK?
Vesak is a thrice-blessed day commemorating the Buddha's birth, great enlightenment, and passing into parinirvana (the end of suffering without remainder), which legend says all happened on the full moon day of Vesakha (a lunar calendar month corresponding to April/May on the standard solar calendar).

Wesak International Film Festival

.
Wesak (also Vesak or Vesakha, and in Sanskrit, वैशाख Vaiśākha) is the name of a month on the lunar calendar of ancient India. In Buddhism it has come to mean the full-moon day of that month (May 8 of the Gregorian calendar in 2009).

It was on this day, eighty years after his birth, that the Buddha passed into parinirvana (final release). Both events, birth and passing, occurred on the full-moon day of the same month. In between these events, something more important happened: He became enlightened on the same full-moon day (in different years of course).

Buddhists around the world therefore consider it a thrice blessed day. Buddhists and well-wishers go to large temple festivities, rededicate themselves to practice the Path that leads to the end of all suffering, and renew their undertaking to uphold the Five Precepts.
