South Korea’s largest Buddhist order says the new James Bond film, Die Another Day profanes their ancient religion and incites inter-Korean conflict.
The Jogye order says the film, which includes a Bond love scene in a Buddhist temple, as “a slight to Buddhism, which has purified the culture and mind of mankind for 2,700 years”.
The order also said the Hollywood blockbuster, in which North Koreans plan an invasion of South Korea using a deadly weapon of mass destruction, was “distorting warming ties between South and North Korea and inciting conflict”.
