Good Family Movies

Over the years, Master has spoken many times of the value of movies and television as educational tools to enhance the spiritual growth of children and adults. Regarding the value of stories such as "Pinocchio" and "Aladdin and His Magic Lamp" as teaching vehicles, She has said, "The wisdom of the Masters is often revealed through stories to bring the true meaning of their teachings to a closer understanding of the people. These tales are not simply tales. There are some implicit inner teachings about spiritual practice in them. Sometimes you can find some valuable teachings when watching television and movies. Thus, Master believes that good stories are powerful media for the presentation of spiritual lessons, and films, TV shows and videos are the most popular forms in which stories are transmitted today. So, below we present a list of films that Master recommends as especially instructional and uplifting, or simply fun for everyone to enjoy a spiritual world or have fun through cinema.
