Hi All
We often read about different Buddhist sects and New Religions but here is a chance to see a documentary about one such sect, Reiyukai (Spiritual Friendship Society) which was made in the 1970s (and it shows!).
The video is interesting because it not only gives a good introduction to some of the sights and culture of Japan but shows how a group of American Reiyukai members were welcomed in Japan and how both cultures can blend together in friendship.
Maybe not everyone's cup of tea (or coffee!) but I quite enjoyed it in an amused kind of way!
