Reincarnation

A friend of mine went to Qinghai in 2004 and saw a lama coming from a distance in the vast rapeseed flowers by the Qinghai Lake. At this time, he was squatting and shit, and he was really embarrassed. At this time, the best way is to take the initiative. He lifted his trousers and walked to the lama to talk. It turned out that a monk from the Ta'er Monastery came to Qinghai Lake for a meeting. After talking for about an hour, when the lama was about to leave, my friend suddenly knelt down and knocked his head to the master, and just converted. Became a lay disciple.
When we talked about this, we all laughed at him secretly, thinking that he was too dignified in such a Buddhist way. But he himself did feel very good, and he had been here for so many years as he practiced meditation and chanting every day. He is a painter. Since he believed in the Buddhist style, he has become more and more mystic. Another time he took me to the Lama Temple to burn incense and kowtow. I almost fell on the ground when I kowtow and couldn't get up again. I respect his belief very much, and he has influenced me a lot, but let me believe it too, let's forget it for the time being.
But he doesn't reboot. People say that he believes in Tibetan Buddhism. They don't pay attention to precepts and precepts. Didn't you see the Happy Buddha in the thangka? Men's and women's weekends are the highest state. But at least he now has a fixed girlfriend, not as many lovers as before, so he has improved.

Yesterday I watched "The Samsara" (The Samsara), a good movie with beautiful views and beautiful feelings. It was about the young monk Dashi after three years, three months, and three days of asceticism, but he still couldn’t cut off his love roots. Despite the painstaking persuasion of his master, Apu, Dashi still insisted on returning to the secular world and marrying Pima, a girl in the village. He believed that Sakyamuni lived a secular life before the age of 29 and gradually realized that he became a Buddha. This is the right way. . Some things must be owned before they can be given up. After spending many years happily with Pima, one day Dashi received a letter from his master, Apu, who passed away. Apu did not forget to order Dash until his death: Can you tell me which one is more important to satisfy a thousand people? Desire or victory over one? After the painful struggle, Dash finally woke up and decided to become a monk again. At this time, his wife Pima gave him great understanding and silently assumed everything. When Dash once again passed a stone engraved with: "How can a drop of water not dry up" when he was young, he turned to the back and said: Let it flow into the sea...

Can I give up only if I have it? Satisfy a thousand desires or conquer one? In fact, the director did not give an exact answer at the end. Pima is a goddess. Although she is not a monk, she understands everything in the world by fate But there is no hindrance. When Dashi is having an affair with other women, she clearly knows the truth but never mentions it. She seems to represent the point of view that you can only give up if you have it. She has expected the final result a long time ago and just waited quietly. The coming of that moment. When the arrival world decided to become a monk again, she was relieved to pack his bags for him. In this life, she did nothing but to enlighten an infatuated man. This kind of cultivation was enough. Pima's role implies that Buddhism is the true meaning of the law of entry into the world. Even if it is a monk in a monastery, it is inevitable that the mortal heart will be born. On the contrary, it is the peasant girl who has penetrated the truth between the heaven and the earth and lived openly.

At this time, all I thought of was the poem by the sixth Dalai Lama Cangyang Gyatso:

Zeng thought of being passionate about the Brahman, and fearing not to fall into the mountains after entering the mountains.
The world is safe and secure.

    Absolutely classic-how to make a drop of water never dry up? ——Let it flow into the sea. . . (Third time in 2012)

  • Pablo 2022-03-16 09:01:07

    The lines are poor and the metaphors are terrible. Putting on the robes is the Buddha, taking off the robes is worldly, even a dog only recognizes your robes but not your face. Three years of repairing the holy cave, still can not stop the erection of the penis in a deep sleep. As a consequence of abstinence, seeing a woman’s thighs, breasts and even hands makes her heart fascinated. Or it is forced to self-castrate again and again, so that it is lifeless, to see a child jumping or a companion’s erection causes tears to flow down, which is envy and even self-injury. The world only knows the Buddha. Who remembers his abandoned wife. The Buddha really wants to save the world, so why didn't he take care of his wife first? The true practice is in the dunya, not in the temple. True asceticism does not lie in eating and sleeping, but in conquering one's own desires. But to overcome desire, you must be in the world, just like a drop of water can never dry up unless it blends into the sea. Many scenes in the movie make people uncomfortable. Only by patiently watching it can you discover the beauty of it, just like practicing spiritual practice, suffering all the pain. Zhong Liti is so beautiful that people can't help but want to be one with her. Women are the best inspirations for men.

Samsara quotes

  • Apo: [his last letter to Tashi] I realize now that my task is not over, and so I will be returning to Samsara. I know that we shall meet again. Perhaps when we do you will be able to tell me what is more important: satisfying one thousand desires or conquering just one.
