The Rabbi and the Buddhist Monk
I watched this because I've always been fascinated by the Hasidic Jews.It turned out to be a real joy to listen to their dialogue. The Rabbi (at the 40.0 mark) reveals his motive in meditating and bringing all people together in unity and love. People are trying to make the world a better place.

It was beautiful to witness this transparent and honest correspondence between such distinct faiths as they highlight their communalities.
I don’t make much of the world's mass deliverance they tend to highlight, perhaps because I am a cynical person. It is otherwise a rather attractive feature of their faiths.
But I connected in the beginning when they started by underlining the limitations of language, something I feel keenly aware of, and I have mentioned on of the previous website of inSelf Yoga.
I don’t subscribe to rigid doctrinal separation, because fundamentally there are many times similarities, all depends on the levels and contexts of the particular practices under consideration.
Here, it was evident that deeper introspection seems to be the ultimate endeavor. Something that all on different paths are striving for, but in their own ways.
IMO, the different figmental descriptions of the hereafter, all denote attempts point to something that I also feel is good to continue to seek after, understand and penetrate.
