Buddhism and Hollywood

http://www.lionsroar.com/was-yoda-based-on-this-buddhist-master/#

I just found this article on my Facebook timeline. I'm just curious if it plays a big part of the movie saga.
In my younger years i found the story unique in some way. I am not sure if it connects the dots.

    Well, it's a well-known fact, if that's what you're asking.... It has been common knowledge among hardened Star Wars fans....
    It's pretty difficult to find reference here on NB, using the search facility (maybe someone could prove me wrong! :+1: ) but we've discussed it before, I think.... :smiley:

  • Well, that brings me to think that the discipline in buddhism have a broad use in our society. The late Steve Jobs was mentioned that he is a kind of buddhist, our 5's Japanese culture of work came from a Zen perspective and yes even the method of swimming that I learned years ago was called mindfulness strokes. I just realized that I was being trained with some buddhist perspective. Just to mention few.

  • @federica - ok thanks.

    No problem... I think it's a lot simpler than I feared it would be... I merely typed 'Yoda' into the search box and came up with a load of old Jedi.... :D
