was very popular in commercial films in Hong Kong, such a Zen-themed film " Bodhidharma " appeared, which was like a clear stream in the film industry and became a classic! It is said that the director became a monk after filming the film. Today, I will take you to review the film.
"Dharma Master" was released in Hong Kong in 1994. The characters in the film are well-acted, the images are vivid, the plot is ups and downs, and the meaning is far-reaching. Bodhidharma ( Er Dongsheng ornaments) was originally the third prince of the southern country of India, who taught martial arts to Shaolin, and is the ancestor of Zen Buddhism in China.
At the beginning of the film, Bodhidharma heard that his father was seriously ill and rushed back to the palace to visit him. In the palace, Master Pan Ruoduo removed the evil spirit from Lao Wang, and wanted to guide Bodhidharma to practice. At first, Bodhidharma did not want to enter Buddhism, but after the Master left, he left two Zen sentences: Whoever was not born to me is who I am, who is born to me is who I am. Since then, Bodhidharma has been thinking, after a period of time, Bodhidharma decided to become a monk.
But Master Panruodoro wanted to put Dharma to the test and let him build a house of practice. After the test, Bodhidharma understood that cultivating Buddhahood lies in a firm heart, and finally worshipped under Pan Ruodoro.
Master Pan Ruodoruo told Bodhidharma that he could not go to China to practice cultivation until 67 years after his death. Many years later, Bodhidharma landed in the South China Sea during the period of Emperor Liang Wu of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and Emperor Wu of Liang ordered Donglin Imperial Temple to receive it.
Bodhidharma's insight was mysterious, but it made Emperor Wu of Liang dissatisfied, and then he wandered around alone, and finally sat quietly on the back wall of the Shaolin Temple, and did not eat or drink for three years.
The monk Shenguang ( Fan Shaohuang ) of Longshan Temple used to be a soldier who killed countless soldiers, and he was plagued by bloody nightmares every night after his conversion. Shenguang went to Shaolin to meet Bodhidharma in order to seek liberation from practice. Shenguang was determined to repent of his karma and sincerely seek the Dharma. After finding Patriarch Bodhidharma, he cut off his arm in the snow to seek the Dharma, and was later verified and enlightened by Patriarch Bodhidharma.
Douban netizens commented on "Dharma Master": a movie that wants to become a monk after watching it!
This film has far-reaching intentions, and many lines of dialogue contain profound Zen philosophy. The profoundness of Patriarch Bodhidharma is that everyone thinks Bodhidharma is a Buddha, but Bodhidharma never thinks he is a Buddha, but has been pursuing the road to becoming a Buddha.
Among them, the latest episode is that the third prince was tested by Master Pan Ruodoro to build a self-study room, which was continuously constructed and then destroyed, and then rebuilt. Isn't this the hard and tangled life we are facing?
