      Samsara--On Human Mythology and Guided Meditation

      American film director and photographer Ron Fricke's documentary film "Samsara" is a documentary film with mature audio-visual language, rich visual imagery, strong artistic temperament, and profound themes. "Shock" is one of the most frequently appearing keywords in its comments, and it is also the direct impression the film gave me. The visual beauty of the film itself is irrefutable, as is the...

      The Muslim crowd was a little shocked when they simulated toilet flushing

      And Tsan Khun's automatic assembly line turned out to be a manual labor of 100 people + a crawler
      . Other directors are very ignorant. It mainly tells two stories. The
      Buddha once said: 100 years later, see you on the road in Xibaoxing, you come to me and a thousand-
      handed Avalokitesvara to go down to earth for a spring tour, go around the earth and say: I've seen everything. Then close it It's okay to have eyes
      without commentary, but there is no footnote for scene...

      The confusion of civilization

      1. The Bagan Pagoda in Myanmar and the Ladakh temple in India; 2. The barrenness after civilization; 3. The greatness of nature; 4. The origin of civilization; The super-simulation robots that came out sat side by side, making it hard to tell the difference between the real and the fake; the computer and iPad that were still in use a moment ago, but then turned into pieces of garbage; a mansion surrounded by slums in São Paulo; the 38th parallel demilitarized zone; the Nablus checkpoint, The...

      appetizers

      Yesterday, my dad’s colleague came to our house as a guest. The teacher who teaches painting has not been at home for several years. He said that he and my dad have been in the work unit recently, and he likes to have a drink and chat with him when he is happy or sad.

      After the meal was ready, everyone sat around the dining table and started drinking and eating. My dad also took out a bottle of special wine that he had kept for many years. Clink glasses first, then New Year's...

      <Reincarnation> is an analysis of civilization and nature

      A very good film, it can be said to be an analysis of human civilization. As for whether to go deep or not, I think everyone has their own opinions. In a mere 102-minute documentary, it is amazing to be able to capture the progress of natural things and human civilization to such an extent. "Reincarnation" is another excellent documentary after "Tian Di Xuan Huang". The former focuses on civilization, while the latter focuses on nature. The so-called civilization and nature are actually not...
