Description
Content description from Worldcat (https://www.worldcat.org/title/buddha-and-the-rice-planters/oclc/757694538):
History of Sri Lanka begins with the arrival of Buddhism from North India in the 3rd century B.C. Sinhalese village life, folklore, religious rites, sculpture, painting, music and dance became wholly integrated with Buddhism and remain so today. The Sinhalese character of devotion to religion, tolerance, and happiness in living is expressed in the video. Villagers are seen cultivating and harvesting their rice fields, before bringing gifts of food to their monks for the Vesak festival in memory of Buddha.
Ephemera: none available.
