I'm hoping that when they finish the documentary, they won't just air it once, and then quickly, with deft strokes, destroy it forever, so as to forever live it the moment, and not be ruled by material possessions

and I DID sorta know what you were talking about when you wrote about mandalas, but for all the wrong reasons, I saw the movie "Little Buddha" because I liked the Keanu Reeves movie, "Point Break"

(throughout the movie, they showed a very beautiful and intricate sand mandala being created, and then at the end credits, they suddenly and quickly destroyed it. I remember the audience reaction to it, it was like half of them were like "what a shame!" and it gave others something to really think about)

A Keanu Reeves movie left people with something to think about?

I mean not counting science fiction (The Matrix or Johnny Mnemonic for example) I hadn't really realized he had been a part of anything "thought provoking" before...lol

See there I go "judging" Little Buddha and all sorts of other movies without having seen them...tsk, tsk. I should atone for my sins by having a "nothing but Keanu marathon"?

Or not.

The effect with the sand mandala being built throughout the movie and destroyed at the end is brilliant...I'm sure that was a shock to western audiences. It would have been cool to see that.

The short of it is that one does no harm and says no bad thing lest it come back to you.

Is this Kaballah? Sounds more like the Rede to me.

Chris, Kaballah is the mystic (or occult, if you will - occult being used in its strict definition of 'hidden') study in Judaism.
