Buddha, this is how

India is a holy land of Buddhism, with a long history of Buddhist studies. As far back as the Tang Dynasty in our eastern land, there were eminent monks who traveled thousands of miles to India to learn scriptures and preach to the world. This shows the prosperity of India's Buddhist country, which is respectable and respectable.

This Indian film called "Kama Sutra" has realized the true meaning of Buddhism. It tells us the true meaning of love with perfect picture language, and warns us how to deal with the love between men and women. Seeing this, everyone will sneer. But I personally think that the secret of Buddhism lies in the phoenix nirvana, rebirth from ashes, and finally Maya quietly retreating after the calamity.

People who have read the Kama Sutra are first and foremost attracted by the love between men and women in the film. This is understandable. In my whole life, when I was young, I was eager for a mate, burning with lust, and full of interest in the love of men and women. The Kama Sutra illustrates the meaning of life through its extreme portrayal of sensuality. After some people have seen it, the impression left is that they are fond of sex skills, but after some people have seen it, they will re-understand the true love in the world.

There is a saying that is very good: when I was a child, I thought that love is simple and sex is complicated, but only when I am an adult I realize that sex is simple and love is complicated. Sex can be learned, and the Kama Sutra is to teach the skills of sex and the art of seduction. But true love cannot be learned. As Maya's teacher said, true love is only when the sex of a man and a woman is in sync with the feelings. The true love between a man and a woman is destined to be the inexplicable attraction between Adam and Eve. This attraction can transcend time, space, money and power, and all mundane things in the world. It is an eternal thing. Regarding the relationship between men and women, the film also explains the three-pointedness: between men and women, there is always chasing and being chased, waiting and being waited for. Love is both pure wine and intestinal poison. It can make you feel like a fairy, and it can also make you heartbroken. So treat love, be persistent, be brave, don't give up lightly to your loved one, and always use your true feelings to water it and love it until the end of life.

But we are all ordinary people. The first half of our life is accompanied by the continuous maturation of our bodies and the continuous sublimation of our desires. We will recklessly pursue fame and fortune, glory and wealth, arrogance and lust, but if we pursue these and enjoy them, we will be happy. ? The portrayal of the promiscuous life of an Indian prince in this film is to illustrate this point. Prince Gui is a royal family, handsome in appearance, powerful for a while, dressed in fine clothes and food, and the harem is even more than three thousand beauties. But it was like a dream, the prince was no happier than the stone mason, and finally had to rely on opium to survive. The prince relied on the power, although he could get Maya's body, but could not get Maya's heart. Is the stoner happy? The stone mason was not happy either. He could stay with Maya for the rest of his life, but he had to rely on a secret rendezvous to solve the pain of lovesickness, and finally died tragically under the hoof of an elephant. Is Maya happy? Maya is also unhappy. Because of the abandonment of the man, she cannot rely on seduction to conquer the prince. Although she gets her wish, she loses her freedom and true love and lives like a walking dead. Not to mention the poor queen in the film. After falling out of favor, the queen was lonely and unbearable, full of jealousy and hatred, and even wanted to die. All of these are the "sufferings" of all living beings in the mortal world. This suffering does not mean that they cannot eat enough or wear warm clothes, or the suffering of flesh and blood, but the suffering of spirit. Perhaps the ancients fell into the boundless sea of ​​misery due to all kinds of spiritual jealousy and troubles after enjoying the "glory and happiness" in the world. what to do? Therefore, with the Buddha, only the Buddha can rescue us lost lambs. In ancient India, King Ashoka put down his slaughtering knife and became a Buddha on the ground. The Buddha persuaded us: "The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, and the shore is when we turn back." He wants us to put aside ordinary thoughts, have no worries, come and go freely, and only have Bodhi in our hearts. From now on, there will be no more troubles, no more worries, so that we can achieve the right fruit and become transcendental. , into the blissful world.

Buddhas are gods living at a high level, so Buddhas are perfect, and Buddhas do not have any troubles. Through the Kama Sutra, I believe that facing our love and life as ordinary mortals, we have only two choices. The first is to cultivate hard and strive to become a Buddha, and from then on, there is nothing to worry about. The second is to be good at ourselves, cherish our lover, and live our lives in a down-to-earth manner. Other than that, it is the abyss of hell.
