The Foundation made an $85,000 grant to finance the development and distribution of a film documentary known as "The Legend of Bodhidharma," which explains the origin and spread of Zen Buddhism to America and the benefits that Zen meditation brings to America. The documentary is approximately 30 minutes in length and is in distribution. It debuted at the Foundation’s Buddhist Leadership Conference held on October 4-7, 2007, at the Maezumi Institute in Montague, Massachusetts. The documentary is available to Zen centers around the country to promote education and Zen center membership, and also serves as a general purpose teaching device. The DVD contains bonus teaching elements. The DVD is available on the Foundation’s Storefront website (in addition to such mass media distribution as The Bodhidharma Foundation of America is successful in securing).
