Movie producer says "Hollywood Buddha" poster will be replaced
The Buddhist News Network, September 9, 2004

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia -- A Buddhist from Portland, Oregon (USA) has contacted the producer of the movie "Hollywood Buddha" today and was informed that the poster, which depicts a man seated atop the head of Sakyamuni Buddha will be removed from all theaters, websites, press materials and any other public place.
A response from a Thai based website, www.thaitemple.org
Kurt von Finck said that in his conversation with Phillipe Caland, the producer claims to be "shocked" by the poster as well. Caland said that he was never involved in designing the poster, as it was produced by a company that is well known for creating movie posters. Caland claims that when he saw the poster, he said he was "as disturbed by it as we Buddhists are".
Caland assured Kurt that he was working to remove the poster from all theaters, websites, press materials and any other public place. He emphasized that he will no longer be working with the company that produced
that poster. According to Kurt, Caland also seems to have an understanding of the Buddha Dhamma, and how important it is in our increasingly violent world.
When the Buddhist News Network commended Kurt's effort in helping to resolve this issue, and suggested that he had created much wholesome karma to calm down a lot of people (not forgetting the fact that he played some role in helping Phillipe Caland to realize what he had done), he had this to say:
"I think this was an unfortunate mistake on the part of Phillipe Caland, and a mistake that he has allowed to instruct him. Lord Buddha understood that we are not perfect beings, and the struggle for perfection through following of the Eightfold Path often leads to us making mistakes."
"The important thing is that we learn from our mistakes, and only make them once. Becoming awake is not an easy process, and M. Caland seems to have awakened to the error this poster company made. This being the case, I would hate for Buddhists to cultivate anger toward any living thing, and especially Caland. Let us all believe that this was a simple error, and cultivate compassion instead of anger."
Kurt appealed to Buddhists elsewhere to calm down and to set aside anger, and show Phillipe Caland how we can resolve real life problems through genuine acts of compassion and understanding. He said that he was disturbed "to see fellow Buddhists so angry, especially from some members of the Sangha".
He felt that it was not auspicious for members of the Sangha to cultivate or promote anger or hatred. "But I would never think to counsel Venerable Bhantes, it is not my place," he said.
"But if I can, through some small action, help to remove the cause of this anger, I am happy - and compelled by Dhamma - to do so." he adds further.
Time will only tell if Phillipe Caland will keep to his word. The Buddhist News Network will be checking the YBG in the next few days to see if any action has been taken. If it does happen, and "Hollywood Buddha" the movie is depicted in a more acceptable manner, then perhaps the acts of compassion and understanding - as demonstrated by Kurt von Finck - may be something all other religions could well replicate to solve much of the problems in the world today.
