From the very beginning, I felt that the director had deliberately arranged a three-year retreat. However, considering the various behaviors of Da Shi later, his cultivation base... He said that he became a monk at the age of five. Perhaps this is absurd. How to recognize the suffering of the world without experiencing it, and how to get rid of it? I don't know if it's the actor's comprehension or the director's problem. It seems that after all, it's an outsider who sees the lama from an outsider's point of view, sees the Buddha, tells the story of Siddhartha, and pursues how a drop of water doesn't dry up.
In the moment of meditation, see the original heart. Perhaps, Shi Pu never really saw his own heart. Or, the director just tells the story of an ordinary ignorant man, about how he was determined to enter the world and how he lost himself in the sea of misery.
Hesse's novel "Siddhartha" tells a somewhat similar story. In the story, Siddhartha entered the world and was nostalgic for the world, and because he once opened the door of wisdom, the ultimate light of wisdom never left. , that light is always there, a guide, a way home.
In the end, Pama told a story, and Dashi's eyes showed the sadness of the hero of an urban emotional TV series. Maybe he just wanted to escape again, seeking the truth is just a cover, but he has too much guilt, too much shame, he feels his own karma, and the bud of his wisdom is about to break the ground, but he is blinded by the red dust in an instant .
On the path of cultivation, you can only rely on yourself. In retrospect, three years of seclusion, erotic diagrams, marriage, life, death, desire, and the pain of flesh and blood did not make him understand. In fact, he has already seen the truth of all things. In that cave, that night, the old lama didn't speak, just smiled. Shipu looked at all the pictures of the erotic palace, and he saw the reality of the broken body and desire. He finally pulled out the scroll, which read: "Anything you touch is a place to learn Taoism."
I think the lama didn't want to discourage him: "Go to danger, don't go." Instead, he said: "Go and see Look, but with your wits."
All things are empty, all dharmas have no self. You are still on the road, and everything on the road is for the ultimate goal of becoming a Buddha. It is just whether you have that pair of insightful eyes, look back on the past, and find that all causes and conditions have already unfolded, and all truths have long been revealed.
