The local premiere will be on 14 May. The ad reminded me of one of the most satisfying movie reviews I&#8217;d ever written so far (3 years ago) &#8211; on the DVC Code. If you&#8217;re interested in some Buddhist perspectives on that phenomenal but controversial bestselling story before catching A&amp;D on the big screen, do take a look (at the blue link). A group of Buddhist friends studying in a Beijing university told me that they used the review as material for Dharma discussion! And I found a version of it translated into Vietnamese online. I&#8217;m still continually amazed by the outreach power of the net.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Deciphering &#8216;The Da Vinci Code&#8217; with Buddhism<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.buddhistchannel.tv\/index.php?id=12,2784,0,0,1,0\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.buddhistchannel.tv\/index.php?id=12,2784,0,0,1,0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Related Articles:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some Fiction about Buddhism in DVC<a href=\"http:\/\/www.moonpointer.com\/index.php?itemid=608\"><br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.moonpointer.com\/index.php?itemid=608<\/a><br \/>\nThe Danger of Being Dogmatic<a href=\"http:\/\/www.moonpointer.com\/index.php?itemid=607\"><br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.moonpointer.com\/index.php?itemid=607<\/a><br \/>\nA Buddhist Perspective of God<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.budsas.org\/ebud\/beyond\/beyond01.htm\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.budsas.org\/ebud\/beyond\/beyond01.htm<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The above billboard gives a hint of the heavy marketing for &#8216;Angels &amp; Demons&#8217;, the prequel of &#8216;The DaVinci Code&#8217;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[176,26],"tags":[334,244],"class_list":["post-2008","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-books","category-movies","tag-dogma","tag-god","wpcat-176-id","wpcat-26-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2008","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2008"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2008\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2008"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2008"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2008"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
