A Buddhist can find many things to contemplate in this movie, including themes of bodhicitta and impermanence. "All these moments will be lost in time like tears in rain."

Don't worry because worrying won't change the situation.

Not an easy movie to watch, but a perfect metaphor for the samsaric mind. The main character is trying to avenge a past wrong, but he has short-term memory loss and can't remember today what he learned yesterday. Driven by uncontrolled anger and fear, but lacking the capacity to construct a reliable view of reality, he persists in his mission, harming others (and himself) along the way.

This movie has strong themes of fear, strength, karma, and enlightenment. This is a very funny film that would entertain a wide audience.

The awakening mind of Bodhichitta. The story of one man's search for a meaningful life.

Nothing is as it seems

This old favorite shows how everything is interconnected and we all rely on each other for everything.

In this illustration of samsara, Bill Murray relives the same day - Groundhog Day - over, and over, and over, again.

An awesome illustration of how a single action can grow and grow.
