Your paper should be written as a narrative with a word length of approximately 2,000 words.
Questions to consider
1. Discuss your impressions of the Dhamma Brothers How did the film impact you?
2. Have you ever practiced meditation? If so, discuss the effect this has had on you. If not, are you interested in incorporating meditation into your life after watching the film?
3. Do you believe it is the responsibility of prisons to rehabilitate prisoners, or should prisons be a place to house individuals who have committed unforgivable crimes?
4. Why do many people in the Bible Belt of America—and other places in the world with strong Christian beliefs—fear practices such as Vipassana? Do you think that Christianity and Buddhism can happily coexist?
5. Does the ten-day Vipassana Meditation course appeal to you? Can you imagine undergoing ten days of silence and intense self- reflection?
6. Many of the men incarcerated at Donaldson are serving life sentences with no chance of parole. Is it a wise use of government funds to rehabilitate such individuals that will never be reintroduced into society again?
7. Did any of the prisoners featured in THE DHAMMA BROTHERS specifically stand out to you? Did you find the inmates’ stories to be sincere, or do you believe they were feigning rehabilitation to gain early release?
