The culture in modern society has become the factor that changes human life and has ruled the world of human spirit. KUKBO 173 kinds of 307 ones and BOMUL 956 kinds of 1,469 ones, in total, 1,129 kinds of 1,776 national treasures, showing 63.6% of them, are related to Buddhism. Consequently, it is no exaggeration to say that Buddhist cultural contents are typical of Korea s cultural contents.
It is a good thing recently, although it s late, that Buddhist experts and academics show interest in digitalization of Buddhist cultural contents. To go forward with digitalization of Buddhist cultural contents, it is necessary for believers in Buddhism to have interest in it and to draw support from Buddhist circles. Therefore it would be the best way that Buddhist TV takes the role.
Buddhist cultural contents can be defined as Creatively produced cultural contents composed of Buddhist cultural heritage, Buddhist way of life, and social phenomena related to them, aiming value of Buddhism by Buddhology . Buddhist cultural contents are fully worthy of using. Buddhist cultural heritage should be popularized and industrialized by making it as digital contents, so people can contact it easily.
Buddhism has been putting down roots as symbolic and universal value concept of our own. Buddhist film can be said that it began from such emotional categories. As the starting of Buddhist film was late, Buddhist cultural contents have not put down roots yet. The major problem of Buddhist film is not production but analysis, therefore, it is more important to analyze Buddhist film by Buddhist position than produce Buddhist films.
Buddhist circles show interest recently in the industry of animation character. The character industry, regarded as a growth factor of future industry, attract attention of Buddhist circles as well as whole social fields. Hence experts, men of great originality and idea, should be bred up and should take roles for central growth factor leading Buddhist cultural contents.
On the basis of this, I suggest that Buddhist TV should consider televise Buddhist films for the promotion of program rating and the diversification of program contents. Also it is necessary that the development of flash animation and character, the most easily approachable Buddhist cultural contents children and teenagers can.
I suggest that Buddhist TV hold Buddhist Film Festival with the advantage of cable TV broadcaster. So far any religion-related film festival has not been held in Korea and other countries. If Buddhist TV hold Buddhist Film Festival through preliminary examination and preparation with the advantage of picture missionary media, it will get excellent results. Once Buddhist TV(BTN) hold Buddhist Film Festival successfully, it will grow Buddhist films as Buddhist cultural contents, and contribute to the strengthening of prestige as a Buddhist broadcaster as well as secure program contents.
