I saw the documentary, “The Buddha,” last night at the Freer Museum. It was a lovely film that did a good job at covering the life and teachings of the Buddha. The animation was wonderful and the music touched me. There were not many “talking heads” which is always a good thing in my opinion. What was interesting was the producer shared that the monk and nun that spoke so eloquently and seemed to embody Buddhist teaching were “accidental” and the people that were scripted to appear, with the exception of the Dali Lama, were white.
Even more important was the joy of being with Sangha brothers and sisters. I took the sweetness and love with me when I returned home.
