It was a nice experience watching the movie "little Buddha". It tells the story of how two Bhutanese monks find the reincarnations of their teacher Lama Dorji on three children from the U.S, India and Nepal who were born at the same day when the Lama Dorji died. It highlights the process of how Jesse, the small American boy, and his family involved into the eastern spiritual journey. Dean, the boy father, was holding an objection toward Lama Norbu's proposal of bringing Jesse to Bhutan for a test because he had an expectation of raising him as a normal American child. But the bad news of his friend's death in a car accident made him somehow realized that life is full of uncertainty. How Jesse's father changed his mind open to accept his son to become a Buddhist spiritual leader attracts me the most, because it provoked me to think over again about my own life.
People are too busy using time today on their daily job: submit reports to their boss, making judgement over other people's clothing & habits, and spending time read newsletters/advertisements,etc, that we hardly have time to sit quietly and set our mind free from such constant actions/conversions. Sometimes we end up with giving priorities to a seemingly short-term benefits, but no added value in long-terms. I am also stuffed with practices and exceptions everyday without give the mind a break -- just to stay in a state that not to bother about anything yet accept everything.
