Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.

Re: Everything Everywhere All at Once
I wanted to like it, but found it to be a jumble of special effects looking for a story line. I gave up after about half an hour.
Pronouns (no self / not self)
“Peace is within oneself to be found in the same place as agitation and suffering. It is not found in a forest or on a hilltop, nor is it given by a teacher. Where you experience suffering, you can also find freedom from suffering. Trying to run away from suffering is actually to run toward it.”
― Ajahn Chah

A few people in work have been talking about this.
“Knowing that this body is just like foam,
understanding it has the nature of a mirage,
cutting off Māra’s flower-tipped arrows,
one should go beyond the King of Death’s sight.”

It was good and had a high factor of surrealism/WTF which was effective. Glad to see movies like that win awards because it will open the doors more more weird stuff in theatres outside the usual Hollywood tropes. I must have seen dozens of Michelle Yeoh Hong Kong Movies in the 90s--I didn't know she was a Buddhist but it makes sense with how she carries herself.

Re: Everything Everywhere All at Once
I tried to watch it, but it had young people emulating an adult relationship at the very beginning. I saw them "kissing" repeatedly. I hope they are okay but I decided not to view this film.

Re: Everything Everywhere All at Once
I lasted nearly an hour and that was about 50 minutes too long... jumbled mess with more woke agendas than you can shake a stick at... it's definitely Oscar material
Re: Everything Everywhere All at Once
Watched about 10 minutes and knew that it was uber woke. Local press here in Malaysia in rapture with Michelle Yeoh's participation trophy. What ever happened to Gary Cooper?BrokenBones wrote: ↑Wed Mar 15, 2023 2:38 am I lasted nearly an hour and that was about 50 minutes too long... jumbled mess with more woke agendas than you can shake a stick at... it's definitely Oscar material

Re: Everything Everywhere All at Once
I've watched it recently. It's about an atheist problem, not a buddhist one. It tries to fight the "everything is meaningless" idea with "we give meaning to every moment" which does not work.
Yup, existence in samsara is meaningless. The solution is to leave samsara. The black beagle is not a metaphor for nibbana, but for "existential dread".
I've once contemplated in this way (that everything is meaningless) out of curiosity for 1-2 hours and even the second day after I woke up, I felt very, very bad. That was strange because I never feel bad, especially that bad. I didn't have the courage to contemplate in that way even for 30 seconds ever since. I've then googled and found out that's called "existential dread" and there are many memes about it. Contemplating in that way is a big no-no.
The contemplation in that way leads to the idea that action (kamma) is meaningless and that's what gives rise to that insanely bad sensation. I don't know, maybe humans or any living beings are not meant to contemplate in that way. The idea is wrong of course, action is not meaningless. There is good kamma (actions), bad kamma and then there is the 3rd... "kamma for the ending of kamma".
Besides the idea being wrong, contemplating in that way leads to insane suffering very fast. I don't have the courage to do it for even 30 seconds, I only did it once in my life by mistake.
I don't think the movie solves that atheist problem at all. Also, basically any european movie makes you think more than it. It's only considered a movie that makes you think among american movies. For those of us that are european, it's nothing special European vs American cinema

Re: Everything Everywhere All at Once
I haven't seen it, but it reminds me of "Parasite" and the hype around it. I got too bored with that one about half an hour in.
Western Buddhism is the perfect ideological supplement to rabid consumerist capitalism.
