Some are packed with the Dharma, while some do not do justice to Buddhism at all. If you are filmmaker and decide to use Buddhism as the theme of your film, please have the heart to make sure the right Dharma is infused. While you might have good intentions to promote Buddhism, misportrayed teachings could demean the Buddha&#8217;s teachings. We are approximately 10% into the age where genuine Dharma understanding and practice beliefs are generally fading away. For this reason, it is all the more crucial for Buddhists to protect the integrity of the Dharma. If we do not, who will? Please make films that promote Buddhism and not abuse &#8216;Buddhism&#8217; to promote any film.<\/p>\n<p>No amount of beautiful cinematography or highly acclaimed reviews can justify a single sentence of misrepresented Dharma broadcasted to the masses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are many Buddhist-themed movies in the market.
