When you practice Buddhism, you have to always self-reflect, and you can't avoid your problems. That makes me understand human beings better. I feel that the more I do that in my own life, the more I can see how to play a character.
From Vinessa Shaw
In 'Garden Party' or '40 Days and 40 Nights,' I played characters who people don't necessarily like; I just find some humanity in them.
My dad's a surfer-psychologist, and my mother's an actress-fitness instructor, and we all practice Buddhism.
How many Buddhists does it take to change a lightbulb? Many in body, one in mind.
I believe that dialogue is the key to breaking through our tendency to separate and isolate. Dialogue changes isolation and loneliness into connection and interdependence. This, I believe, is the essence of Buddhism.
Anywhere in the world, any day of the week, in 192 countries and territories worldwide, one can find an SGI Buddhist meeting where dialogue is at the fore.
The compassionate actions of a Buddha are essential to reforming and revitalizing society.
