TRICYCLE Magazine – :
Sacred Sites is visually rich, with footage of an incredible variety of Buddhist sites. While its sprawling outdoor shots of mountains and valleys are gorgeous, the real beauty of this documentary is in how it captures ordinary people in their environments….offers a glimpse of things so rarely seen.Sacred Sites is an excellent film for anyone interested in making a religious pilgrimage, and is probably the closest one can get without actually going.
Lotus Guide Magazine – :
By following the footsteps of enlightened beings we can for a brief moment experience something truly mystical. Watch this DVD and experience the adventure for yourself.
