Contemplative Art & Writing by Patricia Myerson
Barbie and Buddha, A Tale of Two Epic Quests is a 16 page zine that compares and contrasts Barbie’s quest, as told in the 2023 movie “Barbie”, with the life story of the Buddha. Surprisingly there are quite a few similarities—and not just the first letter of their names—despite the differences of intention and outcome. This story, portrayed in many shades of pink, is equal parts entertaining and enlightening. One reader said, “The last page made me laugh out loud.” The perfect gift!
SPOILER ALERT: The movie’s ending is revealed.
