Little Buddha

Little Buddha Little Buddha was a plastic film staring Keanu Reeves about a boy named Jesse who was thought to be the reincarnation of a Tibetan teacher named genus genus Lama DorJe. In the movie, Jesse is given a book by Lama Norbu that explains how Buddhism originated. Followers believe that it was started by Prince Siddhartha, who was played in the movie by Keanu Reeves. According to the book, there were many signs from the beginning that indicate Siddhartha was a special being. Siddhartha was natural in the forrest and his mother had him painlessly while standing up. When he was born, he was amply conscious.He could also fully stand and alk, where as regular babies cant do either. Whenever he would walk, lotus flower pedals would teem up from below his footsteps. He also spoke of Nirvana before Nirvana was a thing. Siddhartha was born of royalty and he was protected from the world out of doors his castle. He got everything he wanted that ace day he heard a song that was a bout everything he didnt know about the outside world. So sensation day he discrete to leave the palace and finds out about in all of the pain, suffering, and death there is taking place in the world and he discovers compassion.Siddhartha then moves out of the palace to try and find out more about the Outside World. After days of being outside(a) from home, he finds a tribe called the Ascetic Tribe. The Ascetic Tribe were people who had reached En take fireenment but they were non Buddha. The Ascetic Tribe had very gruesome rituals they practiced. They would only eat dirt, bugs, leaves, and fruits and vegetables they could find. Siddhartha soon became an Ascetic and was one for 10 years until he heard a passing musician tell his pupil, If you pull the string overly tight, it breaks, but if its too loose, it wont play. this led Siddhartha to believe the Ascetic life was too extreme, and he decided to go to the river to bathe. While he was bathing, a beautiful woman came up and o ffered him sift, and he took and ate the rice with the other Ascetics watching him. He was then banished from the Ascetic Tribe because he was disloyal to the religion. Siddhartha was now exhausting to find depth a different way. As Siddhartha was trying to find Enlightenment he meditated down the stairs a tree. The demon mara didnt want him to progress and so he move to distract Siddhartha by making him want his Five Daughters.The Five Daughters Of Mara are Pride, Fear, Desire, Ignorance and Greed. Siddhartha could not want any of these because if he id he would have to start the whole process of Enlightenment all over again. Mara tried to distract him with many images of discomforting things. For example, he had an army of soldiers light up flaming arrows and show them at him, but all that happened was that the arrows turned into flower pedals and landed all around him. Another example of Maras distractions was a reflect image of himself talking about things he would want to desire but Siddhartha didnt listen and then Mara was overcome.Siddhartha then reached Enlightenment. At the end of the movie, it turns out that Jesse and two other kids were all the reincarnation ot Lama DorJe. Lama Norbu said that it was extremely rare that a reincarnation can turn into three people, but he said it can happen, and in this case, it did happen. Lama Norbu said that when three people are a reincarnation, one person is Mind, another is Body, and the last is Spirit. Part 2 Colors In the first paragraph of this essay, I explained that the movie Little Buddha is about. boy named Jesse who was thought to be the reincarnation of a Tibetan teacher named Lama DorJe. Jesse lives in Seattle and we meet him when the Tibetan monks go to his house. Jesses family life is qualifying downhill because his Dad has basically plainly lost his Job, is Dads friend Just died, and they are about to lose their house. This is maybe why it is of all time depicted as being gray and gloomy o utside all the time, because they were trying to express his familys feelings. Also, everybody was always dressed to kill(p) in dark and grim colors such as black, dark blue, etc.In contrast, whenever you saw Siddhartha, he always had a sunny, golden, and bright setting around him. For example, when you first see him, when he is being born, that is when the setting was the brightest. Also, some everybody was dressed in bright colors such as red, gold, and silver. This shows that Siddhartha is the erson who is going to be the person who is going to become the Buddha or the Enlightened One Or maybe since he was the Enlightened One, they try to deliberately put more light on Siddhartha always when we see him.However, during the period of time when Siddhartha is looking for Enlightenment, the light is a little bit darker than when he finds Enlightenment. But during the time he was trying to find Enlightenment with the Ascetics the colors were brown and gray, so in a way, that showed us that was not the right path to take. and then when he is tempted by Mara, the colors change to dark blue, gray, and black so we know that Mara is a bad omen. But then once Siddhartha conquers Mara, he reaches Enlightenment, and the colors are golden again.
