BBC - Around the World in 80 Faiths: The Far East (2009)

Pete Owen Jones presents the definitive guide to faith on earth, with eighty rituals across six continents in the space of a year. The big six world religions are only part of the story. Faith is belief in the sacred, and it is expressed in a rich diversity of rituals, in denominations, sects,cults, tribal faiths and new religious movements. Petes mission is to witness and take part in rites rarely filmed before, to take the religious pulse of the planet and to understand the depth of humanitys fascination with the divine. As an Anglican priest, Pete will be confronting cultures that will challenge his values and prejudices - he will be surprised, even offended, but also enlightened.

Chapter 2: The Far East
In this episode of the series, Pete encounters the exotic and inscrutable religions of the Far East, from anarchic Buddhist Naked Man and Shinto Fire festivals in Japan to enlightening Taoist monks in the mountains of China.
He visits an obscure Shamanic sect in South Korea, and finds out how war helped to create the biggest church in the world. In Buddhist Thailand he explores the meaning of non-attachment, and in Vietnam he comes under the spell of a divine eye, before giving money away to a mother goddess.
