Buddhism Goes to the Movies
Rich emanations of Buddhist teachings and practices inspired cinematic expressions beyond those traditionally labeled as “films about Buddhism.” This three-film series delves into the lively expressions of being Buddhist, “doing Buddhism,” or just thinking along Buddhist lines across the cinematic world. Curated and co-hosted by Jue Liang, Assistant Professor of Religious Studies and Severance Professor in the History of Religion at Case Western Reserve University.
