Movie Screening cum Dharma Discussion with Shen Shi’an : moonpointer@gmail.com (Updated 12-12-2008)
Tagline: A man who
took a thousand lives to reach Nirvana
Website: www.filmbangkok.com/angulimala “Angulimala” was the winner of Thailand's 2003 National Film Association Awards for having the best visual effects, best costumes and best supporting actress. A beautifully filmed story of perhaps history's most elusive serial killer, witness how he was radically touched and transformed by the compassionate wisdom of the Buddha. Yes, it stars “the Buddha” too! See Him like you had never seen before. Learn about why this movie was controversial upon its release, and why it is still worth catching. Well depicted too is the social setting of India of the Buddha's time and the impact on its people. Above all, “Angulimala” is a classic true story of personal hope, courage and redemption. If even a murderer could attain spiritual salvation upon true repentance and diligent cultivation, so can we!
