Civilization has had an update, and
Netflix has it in the USA. It's a show about the history of art through time.
Civilizations has an episode on religious art and of course Buddhism is featured a little bit. This BBC production changes the order in America, where it's the 3rd show, and it's the 4th show in England. It would be hard to not get some feedback on the project (
Washington Post,
Guardian,
2,
3). A gossipy
Telegraph review suggest that American don't want to see an older woman presenting and emphasize Mary Beard (Who's
SPQR is a lovely book about ancient Rome). If that's true, then that is a shame. I'm not sure whether I'm more offended by the edit, or by the British laughing at it when they are the ones who created it. Maybe I'm just cranky from working all night.
Anyway, saw some Buddhist art and I like to blog about anything Buddhisty that's going on with me. I've also pushed past my resistance, and meditate on my lunch break at 330am. It's not easy but I do feel energized after I do that.
