Podcast Episode 50: The Chicago Police and Buddhism (Video)

It’s movie day again. This time I have found an internal training film from the Chicago Police Department. Part of a series created to inform police officers on the various cultural groups living in Chicago, this 9 minute video explains Buddhism to those who might not otherwise be familiar with the group.

There may or may not be anything here that we haven’t covered in the past, but this is an excellent resource for showing to non-Buddhists.

One thing that stuck out for me in the video was that they specifically state that most of the traditions and actions of various Buddhist groups depends on their specific ethnic or cultural background.
