Today’s Enlightening
Entertainment
will be presented in
Aulacese (Vietnamese),
with subtitles in Arabic,
Chinese, English,
French, German,
Hungarian, Indonesian,
Japanese, Korean,
Malay, Persian,
Portuguese, Russian,
Spanish, and Thai.
Filmmaking
was introduced to
Âu Lạc (Vietnam)
at the end of 1890s.
It began to thrive in 1923
with the first movie
co-produced
by the French and
the Aulacese based
on the masterpiece
“The Tale of Kiều” by
literary great Nguyễn Du.
Embracing
the modern technology
of our world's civilization
and combining it
with a diverse artistic
foundation inherent in
the country's traditions,
Aulacese filmmaking
nowadays continues
to develop to
enhance the nation's
cultural landscape.
On Enlightening
Entertainment,
Supreme Master
Television is pleased
to introduce different
forms of arts
from Âu Lạc (Vietnam),
as well as from other
countries in the world,
in order to share the
beauty and cultures
of the peoples
on our planet.
The film
“The Light of Truth”
chronicles the holy life
of Shakyamuni Buddha,
an enlightened Master
in India in the
5th century BCE.
His profound and
sacred teachings, which
include Four Noble Truths,
Eightfold Noble Path,
and Tripitaka,
have brought salvation
for innumerable souls.
Buddhism,
now propagated
around the globe,
is one of the major
religions in the world.
We now invite you
to enjoy part 3 of the film
“The Light of Truth,”
screenplay written
by Võ Đình Cường,
directed by
Triệu Hoàng Quân,
and produced by
Diệu Giác Temple,
with performances
by Công Hậu
as Prince Siddhartha,
Tuyết Lan as Queen Maya,
Việt Trinh as
Princess Yasodhara,
Hữu Nghĩa as
King Bimbisàra,
Nam Anh as
King Suddhodana,
Di Thảo as
Queen Mahaprajapati,
Thanh Tùng as Ananda,
Thạch Ngà as Devadatta,
Đồng Khởi as Chandaka,
Thành Tân as Kaundinya,
Vĩnh Lộc as Brahmin Yogi,
and other artists.
In previous episodes,
Queen Maya dreamt of
a six-tusked white elephant
that flew down
from the heavens
and entered her side.
The Queen then gave
birth to Prince Siddhartha
who had 32 blessed features.
From early childhood,
Prince already had
a heart of compassion
and extraordinary wisdom;
according to
the prophecy,
His Highness would turn
out to be a great king or
a great enlightened Master.
To keep the
Crown Prince at the court
to continue the royal
ancestral legacy,
King Bimbisàra asked
the beautiful Princess
Yasodhara of Sakya
to marry the Prince.
But according to
Sakya’s custom,
if the Crown Prince wished
to have the Princess’
hand in marriage,
he would have to win
martial arts contests.
With his unsurpassed
talents and virtues,
the Crown Prince won
all contests and married
Princess Yasodhara.
Though living in
opulence and happiness
beside his beautiful wife,
the Crown Prince always
had an intense yearning
for enlightenment.
After touring outside
the capital, he realized
the impermanent fate and
suffering lives of people.
One night, he absconded
from the royal palace to
find the way of liberation
for humanity.
Thank you for watching
today’s
Enlightening Entertainment.
Please stay tuned
to Supreme Master
Television.
Coming up is
Words of Wisdom.
Farewell for now, and
we’ll see you next week.
Thank you very much.
I feel deep affection for you.
I’ll forever remember
this day.
Take Kanthaka back for me.
Your Highness!
Here are the sword
and the royal mantle.
I don’t need them anymore.
This jewel-studded belt
and my hair,
please take them back
to present
to my royal father.
Remember to tell
His Majesty to forget me
temporarily until the day
I return in the glorious
light of Truth.
All right, go on home now!
Your Highness!
Please allow this
humble person to follow
and attend to you,
even if I have to endure
countless hardships.
That cannot be, O Chandaka!
I can’t let you follow me
when I haven’t
found the way ahead.
Go home with Kanthaka!
No one can tread
an unknown path.
I alone must find it.
Go home!
Farewell, Your Highness.
Please take care
of yourself, physically
and spiritually!
That year,
Prince Siddhartha
was 29 years of age.
He left home
to seek the Truth
and began the life of
“one bowl for alms
from a thousand homes,
traveling alone on a
ten thousand miles journey.”
O beings,
follow the path of
the Buddha’s teachings!
The golden light of Truth
has shone upon the world.
O humanity,
escape together
the suffering realm!
The golden light
spreads everywhere,
sparkling atop myriad
waves of deep blue water.
The golden light of Truth
has shone upon the world.
Nirvana is where
beings are liberated
from misery.
May I know
what sect this is,
respected Elder Brothers,
and your method of practice?
We’re people who vow
to lead an ascetic life.
This method is taught
by Sage Bhargava.
Alas,
life is miserable already!
Why make it more
painful for yourselves?
The Sage has taught:
If a practitioner dares to
torture his physical body,
his soul will escape
the physical body
to ascend to the heavens.
Our body is like
a piece of firewood
set ablaze for the smoke
to soar up to the clouds.
That gently drifting cloud
is water evaporated
from the sea.
It will drip down
on Earth to become
streams and rivers, then
end up back in the sea.
Will the ascetics be able
to escape that cyclical law?
O respected Elder Brother!
Having bought heavens
with so much blood
and bones in the market
of woes that you created,
I’m sure you’ll return
to misery when your term
in Heaven ends.
I’d like to advise you to
leave that dangerous game.
A pure and noble soul
needs a wholesome and
healthy body to dwell in.
Why do you beat up
and wreck your body
till it exhausts and
collapses in the middle
of your long journey?
My good man!
We’ve chosen this path
and are determined
to reach our destination.
If you feel
you can’t do the same
for you can’t overcome
physical weaknesses,
then go elsewhere
to practice spiritually.
If there is another path,
show me!
I dare not.
Please allow me
to take leave.
O apricot flowers
along the hillside!
Has it ever occurred
that out of sorrow,
you blight your fragrance
and color yourself?
O weeping willows that
flourish harmoniously
in nature!
What secret do you
have to cheerfully rise up
on the windswept
Himalayas, humming
under the vast firmament?
O flock of birds that gaily
fly about under the sky!
Have you ever wanted
something else that you
lose the desire to sing
and torture yourselves
in hopes of a better life?
Yet, there are humans,
the eldest brothers
of all beings,
who’d use their brains
to afflict more pain
upon themselves,
digging early graves
for their own lives.
O Venerable, yesterday
I came to request medicine
to revive my young son
who was bitten
by a snake.
You said:
“Go to a house that
never had any dead person,
ask for a handful of ash.”
There is plenty of ash,
but not the kind to
save my son as you said.
Please stand up.
There is no such ash
because death is the
universal law for all beings.
I told you to go
find that ash
so that you can realize
that as a human,
one must go through
death and separation.
Any other advice for me,
Venerable?
Yesterday, you thought
only you knew suffering.
Now you understand
that all beings must
undergo that experience.
Don’t cry and lament
because your tears
can’t alter the harsh
law of nature that
everyone must endure.
Go bury your son!
If I could save your child,
I would, even if it cost
my blood and bones.
Such joy!
Here is Yogi
Alara Kalama’s ashram.
Respected master,
I’ve long heard that you
are a scholar well-versed
in scriptures and
Sankhya philosophy.
Please allow me to study
dharma in your ashram.
I know that you left home
to dedicate your life to
acetic spiritual practice,
so I’m very happy
to welcome you
into my ashram.
Just follow my teachings.
This is my path:
Eat just enough
to sustain life;
wear just enough
to cover your body;
where you eat or sleep
is of no importance;
happiness doesn’t exist
on Earth;
the world around you
is but ash and dust;
sit in contemplation
diligently;
one will gradually
attain first, second,
third and fourth dhyana,
slowly rise to the state
of infinite space, then
boundless knowledge;
and upon reaching
the ultimate level,
one is born into
No-thought Heaven.
Respected master,
after many days
of contemplation
to reach the state of
neither-thinking-
nor-not-thinking,
is there still the self
in that samadhi?
If there isn’t,
why is it called the
neither-thinking-nor-
not-thinking samadhi?
If there is, does that self
have sentience?
If that self isn’t sentient,
it is no different
from the plants.
Without sentience,
how is it possible
to avoid being bound by
the contaminated world?
Very admirable!
Siddhartha,
my path isn’t yet
the ultimate method
to liberation that
you are searching for.
Feel free to
make your choice.
I’m very grateful, master.
Please allow me
to take leave.
May you attain
full enlightenment.
I already met the ascetics.
I’ve practiced with
Alara Kalama, and then
with Uddaka Ramaputta.
They are all followers
of the Sankhya school.
Although
their knowledge
is somewhat different
from one another,
their methods of practice
are the same.
No one knows the path
to liberation.
That path,
perhaps I must find
within myself.
O poor little goat!
Wherever you go,
I will carry you
to follow your herd
to the destination.
I haven’t found a cure
to deliver all beings;
at least I can deliver you
alone from suffering.
Where are you
taking these goats?
King of Rajagrha ordered
us to hand over our sheep
and goats as sacrifices
to the deities tonight.
I will follow you there then.
O deities!
This is the pure blood
of innocent goats.
Please happily dip your
hands in it to cleanse
the King of his sins.
Please use their fat
to burn up
all the wrongdoings
of the entire kingdom.
From now on, please
don’t show your anger
by wrecking havoc
upon this Rajagrha.
Stop that!
Your Majesty,
please don’t let
that person kill
an innocent animal.
Please allow me to explain.
What a surprise!
Who are you?
Where are you from?
Tell me
what you wish to say.
My kingdom Rajagrha
is now beset by many
plagues and disasters.
Everyone desires to live
but also likes to kill.
Killing is easy,
but none of us humans
can create life.
Though beings
have different forms,
all lives are one
and the same.
Holy scriptures teach that:
Humans, after death, can
reincarnate as animals.
Many animals
will become humans.
Humans and animals,
therefore, are connected
like siblings.
Animal blood cannot
cleanse human sins.
Asking the Almighty
to forgive our sins
is useless.
If those deities are
all good, they can’t
tolerate such a cruel deed.
If they are cruel,
they won’t become good
regardless of
how many animals
you kill to offer them.
But whether good or bad,
they can’t pardon anyone.
Each is responsible
for his own wrongdoings.
That is the immutable
law of cause and effect.
The more we kill,
the more calamities
befall us.
Alas, how peaceful,
happy and sorrow-free
this world would be
if humankind
loved animals and had
no heart to kill them to
make offerings or to eat.
If only humanity
can sustain themselves
with vegetation!
Eunuch, take this!
Read it aloud for me
to hear if it’s all right.
Order obeyed.
Here are Your
Majesty’s words:
“Since time immemorial,
we’ve committed
a grave sin – we killed
animals to make offerings
to the deities.
But from this day on,
no one is allowed to shed
any animal’s blood
because all beings
have the same life.
And remember always
that goodness
will await the kind
and righteous people.”
Please have a look!
What do you think
about my decree,
Your Highness?
I’ll have it engraved
on the stone pillar,
then carved on wood
for distribution.
Your Majesty,
this royal decree will be
a source of merit to help
you avoid all disasters.
Your Highness,
you’re of a royal family,
born to rule over the world,
not to live
on everyone’s alms.
Please stay here with me
and impart your
knowledge to the people.
Then when I pass on,
this kingdom
will be yours to govern.
Your Majesty,
I left my royal father,
wife, son and my country
to search for the Truth.
You should not
keep me here.
I can’t sit in peace
on the golden throne
and jade dais,
while my ears still hear
the laments of humanity.
My heart is vastly disturbed
by life’s illusions.
Please let me go,
Your Majesty.
When the Truth
brilliantly reveals itself
to me and shines
upon the world,
I’ll return here to repay
your kind consideration.
Please accept
my sincere gratitude.
Without you,
my hands would
have been stained with
many beings’ blood.
I always hope that
you will return
to this small nation.
May you soon attain
enlightenment so that
I will also be saved.
Please halt your steps.
There is a royal decree
from His Majesty.
Stand up, gentlemen.
Please go back.
Until I find the path
to liberation,
I won’t stop in my journey.
Please think
of Kapilavastu’s future
to return to your position
as a Crown Prince.
His Majesty is distressed
night and day
by your departure.
The entire Kapilavastu
is in turmoil
because of this news.
Please think of
Her Highness
the Princess and your son.
What a pity!
It’s His Highness’ destiny.
He can’t do otherwise.
Let’s go back
and ask His Majesty
for a group of yogis
to accompany and
help him in his practice.
That’s right!
His Highness
will be the One of
Great Compassion,
Great Mercy,
Great Wisdom
and Great Virtue
as foretold by yogi Asita.
All right, let’s go back!
Tune for me a musical chord,
not too high nor too low.
The music emanating
from the six chords
are melodious.
Let not the musical chord
be too stretched!
Let it not be too loose!
Or the melodic sound
will disappear.
Tune for me a musical chord.
I’ll continue tuning
and searching...
I’m surprised
that those people
have such a good idea.
Perhaps, in searching for
a world-saving melody,
I’ve over-stretched
the musical chord.
If I’m not careful, it’ll
snap while I still need it.
I must re-nourish
the physical instrument.
Give me another
drink of milk.
Come closer.
Respected sage,
I cannot come near you
because I’m a pariah.
My getting close to you
will taint your purity.
Love and the need for it
are the strings connecting
everyone together.
There is no social class
in the same red blood.
There is no race in
the same salty teardrops.
Each person wasn’t born
with a tilak mark on his
forehead, or a pearl
necklace on his neck.
In the Court of Conscience,
one will reap exactly
what one sows.
You may let me
have the drink.
There is nothing to fear.
I take leave now, O sage.
O mistress,
the Mountain Deity appears
on that rock over there.
He is sitting
cross-legged, with
his hands on his legs.
He looks so majestic.
We’re so blessed,
because he rarely manifests.
Lead me to him, Radha!
Our bow
to the Noble One
for blessing us!
Please accept this
humble offering which I
personally prepared with
all sincere gratefulness.
Respected One,
are you pleased with it?
What did you offer me
that tasted so good?
O Noble One
who has blessed us!
I cooked it with
the best rice that
I carefully selected
among the rare varieties.
I also added fragrant herbs
and precious flowers
from the garden.
But all my efforts can
never be compared to
your boundless grace.
This is the child, the gem,
the life that
you have bestowed
upon my family.
May your happiness
be long-lasting.
May the burden of life
not weigh down heavily
on your child’s shoulders.
I’m not any god.
I’m just a person
like anyone else.
For six long years,
I’ve seeking
the light of Truth to share
with sentient beings.
I believe I will find that light,
for I saw a glimpse of it
many times, but
I couldn’t hold on to it,
perhaps because I was
too physically exhausted.
Today, your milk porridge
has helped me
regain my strength.
I don’t know
how to repay that favor.
Oh, my heart
is like a small orchid,
which can be kept afresh
by just a few drops
of morning dew.
I wish not to be repaid
for any favor.
My life passes peacefully
in the tender light
of my family.
I live without demanding
or rejecting anything,
yet I always believe that
tomorrow will be better
than today because
I realize that bad deeds
beget misfortune
and good deeds
bring good fortune.
Good rice seed gives
a chain of golden grains.
My motto now is
to lessen desire
and expand love.
I’m taking leave now,
O Noble One.
May you live long.
You’ve taught
a good lesson
to your so-called master.
You understand without
studying scriptures.
You walk on the right
path without any guide,
like a pigeon naturally
flies in the right direction.
But how many people
understand and live
as so in this world?
Therefore, I must search
for the Truth.
May you fulfill your duty
as a mother and a wife.
And I, I’ll seek the way
to liberate humankind.
O the Most Holy Child
of the Universe!
The regal life of luxury
can’t tie you down.
Thousands of temptations
can’t blind you.
You’ve used a will
as powerful as
the cascading waterfalls
and as firm as the
mountains to overcome
your attachments
to physical desires,
especially emotions.
You’ve brought out your
wisdom that’s as bright
as the sun to search for
the path of liberation.
You’re about
to achieve your goal.
Hasten!
You still have to win
the last battle and then
your spiritual merit
will be complete.
Quicken!
The darkness of hundreds
of thousand years
is awaiting you
to shed light upon it.
Although my blood
may dry up and
my bones may rot,
I will not leave this place
if I haven’t found the Truth.
I’m the Life-thirsting Devil.
What is more valuable
than life?
Why did you abandon it?
I’m the Fame-craving Devil.
O son of
King Suddhodana!
How foolish you are!
You’re a talented
and renowned man,
of a noble and
royal lineage.
You’re about
to succeed the throne
with unmatched
honor and power.
Yet you’ve chosen
to be a beggar,
leading a vagabond life
from place to place.
I’m the Devil of Pleasures.
You were living in
a palace of pleasures,
with warm quarters
in the winter, cool
quarters in the summer.
You ate only delicacies,
drank only fine wine,
heard only sounds
of lutes and flutes,
and saw only
mesmerizing dances
by beautiful women.
Why are you so foolish
as to forsake everything
and come here
to lie down
in the snow and fog?
O manifestations
of the mundane world
who cling to
fleeting illusions!
Leave this place!
You cannot tempt me.
I’m the Devil of Anger.
I destroy all and kill all.
No one can stop me
from setting fire
in people’s hearts,
burning down everything.
We sow catastrophes
everywhere,
and the entire world will
be ruined because of us.
O Siddhartha! We’ll
make you our disciple.
Siddhartha!
We’re Devils of Ignorance.
How bright can your
light be to illuminate
the way for humankind?
Don’t waste your time!
The more light
emitted from you,
the more darkness
we pour out.
Day by day, little by little,
we’ve sown ignorance
for many millions of years.
And now the whole
world is submerged in it.
We dare you!
What kind of light
can you use to erase
all shades of ignorance?
How is this filthy
and lowly world worthy
of your efforts to save it?
Follow us to ecstatic
realms to enjoy the lofty
pleasures together.
Destroy this world,
and your path will
take you to the inferno.
All are delusions!
You’re only after the shadow.
Just vain hopes!
There is no way
to save humankind.
Your Path will be useless
in a world
steeped in passions.
Liberating humanity
from transmigration?
Who’d be crazier than that?
O beloved Prince!
Do you know
how miserable I felt
when you left the palace?
I’ve wept
many tormented days.
I’ve longed for your return.
My eyes grow dim
with tears,
yet not a trace of you was
seen on the way home.
Come back to me!
You’ll rest your head
on my arms
like when you were still
my reason for being.
A delusion like any other
worldly delusion,
you can’t fool me.
Vanish quickly
with the darkness!
