Inspired by a true Thai ritual of lying in coffins to get rid of bad luck and prolong life, THE COFFIN is a supernatural thriller about a young man and a young woman who decide to go through the ritual in Thailand. And i ponder why they have to do this with the buddha statue as the backdrop....probably to see the practionioners stupidity....lolz
I have nothing against people who loves going to see SCARY movies; it's their feedom and choice....
But there's just so much incorrect portrayal of buddhist teachings in so-called buddhist countries....I would love to sleep in a coffin every day if it really can get rid of bad luck....lolz, even the buddha himself cannot change or writeoff our BAD Karma; he merely teaches us how...WE GOT TO DO IT OURSELVES!!! by practicing the 8 fold paths he mentioned....not sleeping in coffins. The Buddha had to undergo the negative karma himself before he "extinguished the flame".

It's a cruel world out that...HISTORY is always written by the victors...and it;'s sad teacher sakamuni teachings have become such in the 21C

As a buddhist , i feel sadden by the recent chain of events involving monks; in particular...the degradation of buddha's teachings these days... first it was Myanmar , now it's Tibet . We all know when sakyamuni buddha taught the dharma 2600yrs ago, he specifically state some rules monks should follow, and entering and engaging into politics is a taboo. Apart from that. did you notice how these poor monks are being manupulated by other interest groups, mainly western democractic /human rights group... Yes, i dun agree that china should occupy tibet . but have we wondered...if they allow tibet to go free... wat would happen to taiwan , xinjiang and other semi- autonomous regions? there are around close to 200 nation states on this planet currently...we dun need to to complicate things further....Singapore for eg... wasn't slated to go independent anyhow...Would the United States of America willing to forgo some of their 50 states they occupy? Look at how the indi...
