This is actually an underrated film. It's a pity to be labeled as "porn". It's easy to see it with the mentality of watching a "porn" film.…
Dashi, a 5-year-old monk who became a monk and became a Khenpo in retreat for three years, was moved after seeing a breastfeeding woman, returned to the world, experienced marriage, childbirth, calculation, earning a living, cheating... etc. After the series of secular affairs, I began to think about the meaning of returning to secular life.
When his teacher sent him a letter asking him whether he should satisfy a thousand desires or restrain one desire, he recalled his years of worldly life and realized that he had seen through the meaning of the world, felt the illusory pleasure of the worldly law, and felt When the real image and liberation that he should continue to pursue are the pursuit of this life, he left his wife and children and put on the cassock.
When he abandoned his wife and children, he thought that he had followed in the footsteps of the Buddha and had come and gone without concern, but at this time he was not truly liberated, he was only a monk for the sake of becoming a monk.
He didn't really realize until his wife Pama told him that if your desire for the Dharma is as strong as your love for her, he could become a Buddha in this life. .. Awareness always goes hand in hand with seeing the truth of suffering. If Buddha gave up his wife and children for the sake of the great love of all beings, what was he for? Because of life, old age, sickness and death, love and separation, resentment will meet, can't ask?
Compared to his wife, Pama, although she loved Dashi deeply, she was not obsessed with him. She did not hold back when he left, because she already had her own answer to life. She said, Shakyamuni. Buddha can abandon his wife and children in the middle of the night. Although Yasodhara experienced human suffering earlier than Buddha, just imagine how a mother can abandon her own children in the middle of the night? This deeply moved me, Pama did not go to ascetic but with the greatest wisdom in life.
As she taught the children by the river, a branch floating in the river will eventually flow to the sea. At the end of the film, Mani Shishang asks: How to keep a drop of water from drying up, that is, let it flow to the sea.
This is a reference to the teachings of the Great Collection Sutra: "After a drop of water melts into the sea, the water drop will not dry up until the sea dries up. In the same way, the good roots captured by bodhicitta, even before attaining bodhicitta, are irrelevant. It will be exhausted." A person's self is a drop of water, which will dry up sooner or later, but the ocean will not, because the ocean is all living beings, and the real Buddha is all living beings. When I perceive the suffering of all living beings and the Buddha-nature that all living beings have, and arouse great compassion and compassion, this drop of water melts into the ocean.
The real Dharma is harmonious, flowing, gentle, and worldly. She is all-encompassing, it can be strong, it can be weak, it can be worldly, it can be out of this world, everything is only in my heart.
Master Rongjing said: Practitioners, I ask you a question. You have practiced asceticism for six years, can you achieve the samyaksambodhi tharami? Let me ask you again, how do you keep a drop of water from being blown dry?
Zen Master Xuyun is puzzled, can a drop of water dry up when the wind blows?
Master Rongjing said, wouldn't it be enough to put it into the sea?
The movie is actually called "Reincarnation". Through the two lines of Dashi and Pama, it tells the story of what is liberation and reincarnation, and whether it is possible to get rid of it depends on whether you understand yourself or the world. the truth. Misunderstandings arise because of ignorance. This is the source of affliction and suffering, and the root of the cycle of birth and death. Leaving samsara is like being absorbed into the ocean, and attaining wisdom and liberation means leaving samsara.
