Jundo Cohen's words expressed here resonate with my own experience with Buddhism. To deify the Buddha is to set him far apart from ourselves, as if we could never in a million years accomplish what he was able to. As I see it, the Buddha was not infallible, yet nonetheless came to a deep understanding of many practical things.

I see nothing particularly controversial in the message, or presentation thereof, given in this video. There is no disparaging of others' beliefs, but merely the offering of another perspective, one that has been given far too much undeserved criticism. I see no need for fanciful stories in my practice, personally. If they help others, then so be it, but I would not consider them in any way truthful representations of the Buddha.

Overall, I feel this video was wonderfully done.
