Editorial Reviews

Review

Buddhist monks aren't usually described as wild(at least not in our urban dictionary), but director Anna Wilding's intriguing feature documentary debut stirs up the meditation room a bit. Buddha Wild explores what really goes on behind the monastery doors, touching on hot-button issues like the roles of women, racism, and celibacy in a monk's daily life.Buddha Wild is a refreshing synthesis of Eastern and Western politics and culture, without a nibble of Hollywood cheese. --Chloe Leichman,Flavorpill,New York

2.0 out of 5 stars Good - but not what most viewers will expect, December 28, 2006
By B. Greisler (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This DVD is "cute" and interesting and definitely gives some insights into the lives of Theravada Buddhist monks. However - please be aware that this DVD was NOT created in Thailand (as one would expect looking at the cover) - but it was filmed entirely in a Thai-Buddhist temple located somewhere in New Zealand - the author never explains just where she is, but one can tell from the many signs written in English.
For someone who has lived in Thailand extensively and is very familiar with the culture and the religion practised there by over 98% of the population, it was disappointing to see this "report" done NOT inside Thailand. There is truly a huge difference in what is presented on this DVD and what one would experience being inside this wonderful country (Thailand). This DVD can be a "guide" for a first-time exposure for people new to Buddhism - or who want to know more and it answers quite a few elementary questions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Joyful, March 17, 2007
Joyful.Worth the effort.Humourous,serious,warm,delightful.
The monk says "It is no good just saying loving kindess.You have to do it,you have to show it"
Wilding may work in a more subtle and upbeat way than other directors and presenters, as shown by threads weaving through this film, but her work is no less powerful for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heartwarming, December 30, 2006
This film is a treat.A heartwarming and humble glimpse into the smiles of missionary monks from Asia .These monks do not live in their own country and are building new lives in West. I have been to Thai Temples outside Thailand and to other Buddhist temples. This film captures the monks lives well and the complexities both we and the monks face with the profound language differences in the Western world. The narration,like the film itself, is fresh and orginal. I actually felt ,through the film the joy, humour and the facts of life for these Buddhist monks. Buddha Wild gave me added insight into Buddhism in a very pure way but it also gave me greater sensitivity and awareness of Asian culture .By the end of the film I was happy I had watched it and was quite touched.It was compelling and a few days later I still cannot get some of the images and quotes out of mind.That's a good thing.Take note, watching this film does make you hungry afterwards.
