World Peace Means A Piece of Bread
Japanese Boy, Taro - 1963 Educational Film
This is a film from 1963 I had some fun with. First of all it tells the story of Taro, a boy in the fifth grade. It shows his life in 1963 Japan. I added my cartoon character Kim Zog to do part of the voice over because there was a copyright issue with the music behind the speaker in the original version. I stayed true to him script until Taro visits a shrine with a Buddha in it. This section of the film tells how most people in Japan in 1963 were both Buddhist and Shinto, I added a line about Nichiren in there, informing the viewer of the "correct teachings of Buddha." Can you guess?
Enjoy

Leeds England, an Educational Film from the 1970's.
Here at Kosen-Rufu.com we follow some of the last words the original Buddha left us, and this is to educated ourselves, learn all we can. Furthermore, as a global citizen, we share and love each other's cultures, yes, even the British (ha, just kidding, I love Fish, Chips, and the Beatles!).
Here is a great educational film from the 70's I restored as part of my Kosen-Rufu.Com collection. Enjoy.
