Buddhist films tracing the heritage trail


Benoy K Behl, historian and Buddhist expert, at the extremely remote and high-altitude site of the Guge Castle and Temple, in Western Tibet.

Films provide a comprehensive perspective of the ancient monuments and art heritage of Buddhism in India. They cover a wide range of the heritage of both Theravada and Mahayana-Vajrayana orders, providing a view of the richness of the whole Buddhist tradition, said visiting Indian filmmaker Benoy K. Behl about his films which will be screened in Kuala Lumpur.

“Research for these films was done from 1990 to 2008, and the films were shot between 2004 and 2008,” he added.
