After watching it, I was thinking, this movie is actually about desire and undesired, about restraining desire to letting go of desire. The biggest difference between humans and Buddhas is that humans have desires while Buddhas have no desires, while the Dharma teaches how to resolve desires. Earlier in the movie, Spring, Summer and Autumn talked about the little monk's failure to restrain his evil desires, sexual desires, and anger desires. In winter, the little monk returned to the temple and began to do asceticism and lived the same life as the old monk. The whole process is A process of letting go of desire, and this is also a cycle of life. From being born with no desire to become engrossed in desire and finally letting go of desire, this is the practice of life.
I like the role of the old monk in the movie. The old monk never suppresses and controls the desire of the young monk. He just lets him experience and then bear the consequences, because he knows that the desire cannot be restrained, and only when he really lets go can he truly become a Taoist and become a Buddha. I have always felt that the important condition for becoming a Buddha is to let go after experiencing desire, rather than never experiencing desire and always restraining desire and becoming a Buddha through cultivation. The so-called, put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha on the ground, the most important thing is to put down two words, it is to make a break with all the original desires, malicious and ill-willed, and then the heart is like water.
There is no desire to be rigid, this is the method of birth. But living in an ordinary world, how can you live without desire, this is the rule of joining the world. Therefore, humans and Buddhas are the two ends of the same road, and desire and desirelessness are also the differences between humans and Buddhas.
