Marblehead Posted January 25, 2012 Caves are very interesting places. One can really get a good look at one's self while in a cave if time is taken to do that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chang Posted January 25, 2012 This fellow is a Church of England clergyman who has produced a couple of very interesting documentaries on both Christianity and world religion in general. A very interesting bloke. Â rev. Peter Owen Jones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
humbleone Posted January 25, 2012 very cool, thank you for the links.  I found this 58 min documentary of Peter Owen Jones, aka indiana jones of the clergy . This episode shows his visit to China. He also visited India and Eygypt. would love to see all three episodes  http://rushleigh-pursuit-of-wisdom-chronicle.blogspot.com/2011/03/peter-owen-jones-extreme-pilgrim-and.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jetsun Posted January 25, 2012 I saw his episode on China, he went to a big government sponsored temple which might have been the Shaolin temple, but found most of what was going on was for show and for tourism and there was nothing really spiritual about it so he left and went to a smaller temple in the mountains. He seemed to approach everything with an open mind and went into it with enthusiasm, i'm not sure he found a genuine teacher in China though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
humbleone Posted January 25, 2012 I saw his episode on China, he went to a big government sponsored temple which might have been the Shaolin temple, but found most of what was going on was for show and for tourism  yes sad to see the disneyfication of a shaolin monestary.  The third episode of peter owen is perhaps the best. his three weeks in a egyptian desert cave. he nearly went mad!  youtube chops it up, but segments Los Coptos 3/6, 4/6, 5/6 and 6/6 are just amazing  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZE4V_lyAV3o&feature=related Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lifeforce Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) I love Peter Owen Jones. His documentaries have been shown here in the UK. A very pragmatic guy who, despite being an Anglican minister, is not afraid to empty his cup.  Extreme Pilgrim   I've posted this one before.
