		These two hapless German brothers prove that when you've hit rock bottom, the one thing that is guaranteed to help is looking at things differently.
		Watching two middle-aged German men achieve a certain degree of Buddhist enlightenment is not only hilarious, it's also heartwarming.
		On the surface, this movie appears to be about two brothers who are searching (often in very different ways) for meaning in their lives.

		In material that is more gag-based than reality-based, they get lost, lose their money and credit cards, and wind up sleeping in cartons and working in a German beer hall on the Ginza Strip to hustle the train fare to the monastery.
		Part three is at the monastery, and this is where you’ll need all your reserves of enlightenment to keep laughing.
		As the Abbot of Monzen explains, enlightenment is not the achievement of something, but the absence of something.

	Apollo Movie Guide's Review of Enlightenment Guaranteed
		Enlightenment Guaranteed is interesting in that while the story is fictional, it has something approaching a documentary feel.
		Shot with digital camcorders, the most obvious of these effects is the home video look of the film, which is intentional, as the characters are shooting footage for their own use.
		Ultimately, Enlightenment Guaranteed is boring, unless you are a big fan of Eastern philosophy, or want to learn about it while you’re watching this movie.

		It was in the second chapter that Sakyamuni, for the first time, guaranteed the enlightenment of women.
		Up until this point he had always talked about enlightenment as a process, a gradual developing of the sense and awareness that each of us possesses the Buddha nature, that we are one with Dharma.
		As long as enlightenment is viewed as a process or a journey, there is always the chance that some of us don't have it or won't make it.

		After seeing Echos of Enlightenment at the Telluride IndieFest 2002 film festival, I was impressed with the professionalism, polish and general look of the film.
		If Echos of Enlightenment is an example of Dan Coplan's true talent and not a `one shot wonder', he has the potential of being a great filmmaker.
		Curious to see this film, I was not disappointed, and, in fact, as a result of seeing it on the DVD now available, I sat watching the end credits convinced it is absolutely essential viewing for all humanists, and for that matter, anyone who has ever made a movie, or is thinking of making one.

		Enlightenment Guaranteed can be seen as a lighthearted attempt at putting a smile on the viewer’s face and warmth at the core of their heart.
		But there is something in the title itself that speaks as a disclaimer to this enlightenment -- that is, that there are no guarantees, and there is no one path or set of rules one can follow to achieve enlightenment in life.
		Everyone is on their own course and will arrive at their own enlightenment in his or her own time.

		Gustav is preparing for a trek to a Buddhist monastery where he hopes to attain enlightenment; Uwe, feeling a rare vulnerability, insists on joining him, despite much protestation.
		Enlightenment Guaranteed turns out to be an uplifting little film that even manages to impart some of the eponymous promised wisdom to the viewer on a real-life level." - Christine James, Box Office Magazine.

	CANOE -- JAM! Movies - Enlightenment Guaranteed Review - Satisfaction isn't Guaranteed
		Enlightenment Guaranteed stars Uwe Ochsenknecht as depressing appliance salesman Uwe, whose wife has left him, and Gustav-Peter Wohler as the soft-spoken Gustav, who indulges in New Age practices like feng shui and, of course, meditation in a Buddhist monastery.
		Much of the grainy-looking Enlightenment Guaranteed is shot with a shaky hand-held camera, lending it even more of a sense of a home movie.
		Enlightenment Guaranteed has a couple of small laughs and insights, but they're peppered far too sparsely throughout the film.

		In this series of recent public gatherings, Umi focuses on Bodhidharma -- a Zen monk who was so intense, he cut off his eyelids to stay awake during meditation, who traveled alone from India to the uninitiated China to spread word of Zen's freedom.
		The discourses of Enlightenment Guaranteed are peppered with visitors' questions and Umi's answers, which come direct from his own experiences.
		Umi's words touch so deep, and he speaks like an 'ordinary' person -- like the friend he is. His unconditional love, truth, and patience reach right into my heart.

		Total enlightenment is not an "accomplishment," in the normal sense of the word -- meaning something we bring about through a series of actions or efforts or prayers.
		There are also "Pure Lands," which are places specifically prepared by individual Buddhas for their disciples to inhabit, in order to be with the enlightened teacher on an intimate basis and to better realize total enlightenment.
		It is true that Buddhism does not promise that total enlightenment is guaranteed within one lifetime for everyone who becomes a Buddhist, but that does not amount to uncertainty as to the "how" of ultimate salvation, nor to where it leads.

		Since making a name for herself with her sprightly Men, in 1985, Dörrie has advanced the woeful cause of German film comedy with a number of jaundiced but genial looks at the human condition, showing an especially acute and sympathetic insight into the male half of it.
		Enlightenment Guaranteed is one of her more engaging and lingering efforts.
		But this tactic wasn't necessary -- the low-key comic performances of the leads and Dörrie's bittersweet irony guarantee the film's humanity.

	Interfaith forums - View Single Post - Enightenment: Guaranteed?
		From my understanding, the followers of this school take refuge--that is, they put all their faith in--Amida, so much so that they renounce their own efforts towards enlightenment on this earth, believing this world to be a place where it is near-impossible to reach Buddhahood through one's own efforts.
		For, when one relies on Amida, one will, after this life is over, be reborn in the True Pure Land, whereupon enlightenment is extremely easy to attain--indeed, it is said that it is impossible not to become enlightened in the True Pure Land.
		The curiouis thing about this, though, is that if you look deeply into Buddhism in general, as much as it is made out to be a spiritual discipline where one reaches enlightenment by one's own efforts--when you look deeply at Buddhism and the standard jiriki-type Buddhists, you can also see them as practicing tiriki.

		Enlightenment Guaranteed, Doris Dorrie's didactic comedy about two German brothers on a trek to a Buddhist monastery outside Tokyo, is for comparison and contrast only: even fewer laughs and positively ghastly to look at.
