this is a mashup I made for my class on buddhism. it's grainier than the original which is apparently a consequence of a 20-minute video being converted to a size suitable for uploading. we're expected to do a dharma talk on a topic of our choice and I determined mine would be on sangha, mostly because I'd already done a sermon on that about 6 years ago and still had the research. but when the crunch came, I opted to do a video rather than a sermon and the message of the dharma talk also changed. I'm rather proud of the outcome, although as I let the class know last night if I'd had my druthers I'd have cut some of the more sensational images out of the iranian sufi video clip since the sufis represented include the more extreme member who expect their faith makes their flesh impenetrable to pain. thus the hammering of daggers into heads.
still, I like it and I'd have to call it a hit among my classmates who seemed somewhat agog at the presentation. that may have been amazement at my accomplishment or it may have been astonishment at my gall, I never can tell.
