Brief introduction of the little Buddha story

The king gave Prince Siddhartha three palaces. The prince saw the sight of old age, illness and death. The prince wept for the suffering of all beings.

The prince became a monk for all beings and sought a way out. Surrender the magic army. The prince realized the Tao on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month and was named Sakyamuni Buddha.

Rolling red dust. After the death of Lama Apocynum venetum, the ashes were put into the sea, symbolizing the sad wish of the Bodhisattva: "All beings have boundless wishes and will go to the sea of suffering for life and death."

One day, two monks from Bhutan came to Seattle to look for the reincarnation of a former teacher.

Along the way, they finally came to the home of a nine-year-old boy, Jesse, and believed that the blond boy might have been reincarnated according to the wish of a dead monk. So I hope to take Jesse with me and go back to the temple in Bhutan to be verified by the reincarnation.

When they first met, Jesse and Rama quickly established a teacher-friend relationship. When they are together, the Lama often tells Jesse the life story of Sakyamuni. Seeing that his son and Lama get along well, Dean, as a father, decided to take Jesse to Bhutan, which is full of mystery, to explore the mystery of the origin of Buddhism together, and a wonderful journey began.

Since then, ancient and modern plots have been intertwined. In the modern part, Jesse's parents' reaction to this matter is relatively dull, while in the ancient part, keanu reeves painted black skin and played the Indian prince, with exquisite shooting and high musical standards such as artistic photography. Through the story of looking for the little Buddha, the film reproduces the process of the Buddha's birth, becoming a monk, asceticism, seeking Tao and becoming a Buddha under a bodhi tree more than two thousand years ago.

Playing Prince Siddhartha is a very difficult role. In order to play this role well, keanu reeves specially read a lot of Buddhist books. During the filming, he banned animal products, only eating oranges and drinking water. Perhaps it is his quarter of oriental descent that makes him born with an extremely pure and simple temperament, and also makes him the best candidate to play the Buddha with incomparable karma, and interprets the role of Prince Siddhartha with compassion and solemnity.

The idea of reincarnation of the living Buddha in Tibet has been circulating for a long time. What is the truth of this matter? The famous Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci tells Buddhist stories very seriously. This is also an oriental film directed by the famous Italian director Bernardo Berdeaux Ruzi after the release of his masterpiece The Last Emperor 1987.
