Buddhism rules Hollywood The glamouratti of Hollywood seems naturally inclined to adapt to Buddhism — a religion that propagates peace and detachment. A look at some of them: Richard Gere: The actor is often credited to have pioneered the Buddhism movement in Hollywood. Steven Seaga :l A natural progression of his time spent in Japan to learn martial arts, hes been a steadfast follower of Buddhism and acupuncture and is also recognised as an incarnate of a Tibetan lama by the disciples. Brangelina Angelina Jolies interest in Buddhism triggered off with the adoption of her son Maddox, whos from Cambodia. She got a tattoo done in Khmer, which is part of Buddhist script. Her partner Brad Pitt too has shown keen interest in Buddhism. Uma Thurman :The actress was brought up as a Buddhist by her dad, who was the first Westerner to be hailed as a Tibetan Buddhist monk. Uma gets her name from the Tibetan name Dbuma Chenpo, which means the great middle way. Robert Downey : Jr The Iron Man star is the latest entrant to the Buddhist bandwagon. He called himself a Jewish Buddhist (often referred to as JuBu) — that is, a person with a Jew background who practises Buddhism. Sharon Stone A former member of Scientology, Sharon Stone got introduced to Buddhism by her co-star Richard Gere; she then converted to Tibetan Buddhism.
