Here are ten films which in some way embody aspects of Buddhist thought, and which ask important questions of the viewer. Dogmatism and easy answers are not to be found in them, but each is a thoughtful, provocative invitation to meditation.
Some of the films directly relate to the history of Buddhism and its important figures; others are inspired by the noble truths which adorn the path to personal liberation. All are meant to be viewed with care and attention. As always, the most important lessons in life cannot be taught, but only learned; therefore, they cannot be advertised, but only recognized. In these films, thoughtful viewers may find their own lives reflected in instructive ways.
