“I absolutely LOVED every minute of Dr. Finkelstein’s online course the Essence of Buddhism in Light of Maharishi’s Science of Consciousness! His course brought out the very highest of Buddhist teachings and it was a great joy to see how beautifully he analyzed and related Buddhism with Maharishi’s Science of Consciousness; this course will help all students to appreciate both more deeply, contributing to deepening experiences and growth of enlightenment.” —Steve Brittingham
“I loved the course — it filled in a big gap in my knowledge despite my several degrees in Religious Studies and Theology, and did so in light of Maharishi Vedic Science, which was wonderful.”—Marielle Valenzuela
