I'm the first to watch this one? The others don't know what they're missing!

Interesting..
Maybe you may want to consider other religions like Hinduism (India), Taoism (big in S.E.Asia) etc.
Both Hinduism and Taoism actually share commonalities in deities and Buddhism is actually derived from these two faiths. Food for thought.

thanks David, but it was a one off. We had five slots for five religions over five days. We also had to make them relevant to a British audience

Hehe

Well, British Audience? Hehehe.. strangely enough, I learnt about Hinduism in an Art History module whilst studying at SOAS Uni in London :)

I meant that the viewers can relate to. Not saying they couldn't but at just 5 religions we had to make a choice. The most popular first then it was down to who we could find. Not easy!

Yeah, finding Buddhists wouldnt be easy because its not really that widespread in Europe or Asia.. many people often mistake Taoism for Buddhism... I'm sure if you drop by Chinatown during the Chinese New Years or in July/August, you'd find them burning incenses/joss sticks..
Anyway, I've just shoot a short clip at a local temple just now and being rendered.. Let me know what you think. It'll probably be uploaded in a few hours time.
Later M8.
