"Who am I?" "What is the purpose of existence?" "How can I overcome the fear of dying?” In Samadhi Road, two brothers embrace the tradition of orality and journey across continents. They seek insight and wisdom from learned masters and elders sharing their glimpses of spiritual awakening. Through interviews with Benny Golson, Sonny Rollins, Kaz Tanahashi, Agnes Heller, Robert Thurman, the inimitable Mooji, and others, we follow a path of enlightenment and deep learning converging in a universal discourse of love and respect for human life.
