Reviews

“The 90-minute film 'Souls of Zen' impressively shows how Japanese Buddhism deals with this destruction. However, the documentation occasionally makes use of academic language and Buddhist terms that are not easy to understand for laypeople. Nevertheless, 'Souls of Zen' is informative and worth seeing - and not just for people who are interested in Japan and Buddhism. "

- Christian Röther : Deutschlandradio Kultur

“Souls of Zen tries to bring two gigantic topics - the tsunami and its consequences as well as Buddhism - under one hood. He basically provides interesting information and good insights, but in the end it remains superficial key data that add up too much half-knowledge that you then have to work through on your own, because neither the catastrophe nor Buddhism are really extensively illuminated.
