Course Title: Movies and Buddhist Spirituality

Host: Aries Gu

Time: Saturdays, PM 14:00~17:00

Place: DeguiAcademy - Dharma Drum University, Taipei, Taiwan

Introduction:

Movie is an art form balancing complexity and simplicity. It touches our sensations. As the movie unfolds its story, we relate ourselves—what we think, see, and listen—with the characters in the story. Through the six movies with various styles, this course invites you to reflect on the richness of life.

Goal:

Is it possible that we may find Buddhist spirituality in every movie? This question is an invitation that inspires us to discover how much we can learn from watching a movie and sharing our thoughts together.
