Only Buddhists can now head up the Mahabodhi Society according to a recent rules change. The Society was founded in Sri Lanka but soon moved to Indian soil with the help and support of the Indian government. Critics call the move political and say it will primarily benefit Sri Lanka.

Plus Danny Fisher has a list of Buddhist movies. This is definitely a post that will keep growing over time.
