Rebirth of Buddha

Title:Rebirth of Buddha
Overall:Unevaluated
Keywords: , ,
Notables:
Yet another anime movie 'sponsored' by the Japanese cult ↗Kyoufuku no Kagaku (幸福の科学, also known as The Institute for Research in Human Happiness), presumably containing more pseudohistory and moral bunkum. The film illustrates Happy Science's belief that the religious figure Buddha will return "when the world sinks into darkness." This 'Institute' has been called 'Japan's answer to Scientology'.

It's ironic that Siddhartha Gautama, the founder of Buddhism, made no pretensions of being either divine or even divinely inspired, yet his philosophy has been transformed into a massive religion. For what I'm guessing would be a much more accurate anime take on Buddhism than this one, see Butt Attack Punisher Girl Gautaman.
