47. Asian programming, which is all Buddhist influenced about the dangers of dualism.

Anime, Hong Kong action and martial arts and fantasy, Korean cinema---everything worth watching that comes out of Asia is a Buddhist parable. It would be good for America to saturate itself in some nondualism, learn that weakness can be strength, that compassion trumps revenge, that no cause relieves us of our obligation to our fellow human beings.

Ichi the Killer , Bullet in the Head , Running on Karma , Tekkonkikreet , Gankutsou ....America needs to see this kind of action film rather than our usual Rambo style pablum. We are way beyond High Noon .
