He only said the second half.
We have been running all our lives, wanting to redeem the original sin that has intensified with time, but in fact, we have never left the temple, each of us comes from there, and we have spent our entire lives looking for it in order to be accepted. Some were lost, most people stopped in the middle of the road, a few people eventually trudged wherever they went—maybe it would take a lot of roads to open the stone to get the answer, and the wisest person never left. There, because they don't need to experience it, they can understand it.
When the young Dashi just became a drop of water, all things were clear to him, beautiful, fresh, and warm, the master’s scripture tube, the child’s parrot, and he was blessed by the living Buddha. Funny and proud smiley.
But sooner or later the body will betray him, torture him, drain his peace and harmony, "How can a drop of water not dry up?" So he was destined to start walking alone, destined to be the sheep that was hit by the sudden weight.
At the beginning of the film, there are often scenes of Dashi, children and master playing, as if the three stages of a person's life are deliberately placed in the same time and space. Dashi's smile is happy, simple, and vibrant, while the smiles of children and old lamas are truly beautiful and pure.
Integrating with heaven and earth, the child has not yet left the protection of the mother. The old lama has already returned to the primitive harbor, so it is pure with a sense of security, while his simplicity is thin, turbulent, and stupid.
So from the first nocturnal emission, it shows the discovery and cognition of one's own existence, from feeling ashamed to becoming a habit. When a person's independence consciousness is awakened, he also embarks on the path of original sin.
Perhaps when he was carrying a suitcase to bid farewell to his master, partners, and children, it was just a touch of reluctance. What occupies his mind is still the longing for the beautiful world of flowers and the beautiful body of a woman, and when he takes off his monk robe , Naked body and the water of desire traverses the body, and when he turns around, he finds that even the black dog with ears and temples is showing a strange, horrified, disappointed look and howling away, he has completely felt the cut out. Painfully, he became an incomplete individual and completed the psychological rite of passage at that moment. A huge sense of loneliness surrounded him, and the spirit was suddenly opened by the Faust tour submerged in the body, prolonging eros, expelling life and death, and he was going to find his own pilgrimage. When they were together, what she gave was love, and what he released was lust. If one precept is broken, all precepts are broken. The soul fell completely into silence, he grew long hair, his smile was stained with heavy dust, the first desire was satisfied, followed by countless desires, and the void of desire grew bigger and bigger. Desires are more and more prone to happen, tightened and tightened, but it is getting harder and harder to be satisfied. Therefore, he would have adultery later. It was at that moment that the culmination of desire satisfaction, such as the burning fire, reached its culmination, and the mental confusion was also pushed to the highest level. Therefore, he had no feeling of enjoyment at all. He was left with hesitation, panic, and horror, and finally put on the robes again, a heart-cracking heartbreak. The dead old lama’s letter to Dash said: “We will meet in the next life. Then, can you tell me that satisfying a thousand desires is more important than overcoming one desire?” The physical body's devilish barriers are peeling away, and the life is like a dream. , I turned my head back sharply, after waking up from the dream, I finally felt that everything was tasteless.
The other completely pure is his wife Pima. Pima did not understand Buddhism, did not participate in Zen or practice, and just listened to his inner life, but he knew the answer behind the stone from the beginning. Compared to Dashi’s repeated search, Pima is a person born with great awareness. She is a symbol of motherhood, the sky, the earth, the first and safest place for everyone, and the sea where she will eventually return. The end of all quests is the place where all the desires, greed, and obsessions in the world tolerate, soothe and get peaceful reincarnation.
It’s worth mentioning that the seamlessness of the director’s structure is that there is such a small scene: When the couple is tender, their son looks back and smiles slyly, which surprised me that this is the beginning of another cycle, and he With his son, it was already a reincarnation.
Haruki Murakami said that people who meet will meet again. When he stood in the water once again and watched the broken mirror illuminating himself who had been burned for a round, he could no longer feel any impulse from the body or urgency from desire. At this time, Dash should understand the sky of the lens, the calamity of fate, and the destiny of the sheep. The road you have walked will go again, and the river you have stepped into will flow again. What is gained will be lost, what is lost-I hope we can all find a way back to the sea.
