It looks like a decent opportunity for Melburnians to see David Grubin's documentary "The Buddha"

Metta,
Retro.

Thanks for this Retro.
Times like these, one misses the big city - temporarily.

I went to the opening film last night. Anyone else went?

Well, it was, I guess, a shameless plug for Zen. Pretty well-made, I would say, but I am sure not to everyone's taste. It made some very good points about practice although I found Enlightenment Guaranteed (another one that will be shown) to have more charm and a lighter touch.

Anyone planning to turn up to any of them?

PS Following a comment, maybe I overstating it saying it was a "shameless plug for Zen". People who are not put off by Zen practice and approach may well enjoy it. There is also a fair bit about the relationships between two brothers and their partners in the film.

Greetings Dan,

I would go to the one which is the follow-up of the one about the kids who grow up as monks... but only if I'd seen the first one... which I haven't.



Metta,
Retro.
