A Cinematic approach to Dhamma!

Article summary

Dhamma is in everything. when awareness arises, you can observe the Dhamma in every single moment in everything. Cinema is close to most of the people around the world. Let’s understand the inside process through cinematic process.

When eyes meet forms, ears meet sounds, nose meet fragrances, tongue meets tastes, body meets contacts… it’s kind of a film promotion to the mind. 

Thrilling… Suspense… Attraction… Focus… Waiting… Impatience… all kinds of emotions begins... Rolling… Then just after the effect comes out of those meetings… It’s like the movie is finally released…

The consciousness is kind of playing a movie… frame by frame… the magic at its best… Consciousness plays the role of the projector… timing is at its best… not giving a single chance to catch its work…

The whole movie is kind of forming… Each frame of those forming causing to naming… both works together and bring a wonderful, perfect frame… Each frame gathered together to make you a fanatic (FAN) of it… It makes sure to keep you stuck in the seat… it makes sure to give the birth of “Fan”…

Movie THE ENDS!!!… it’s time for the “Fan” to makes decisions on the movie which is just ENDS! … Fan Like it… Dislike it… neither like nor dislike, just Neutral about it…

Reviews… Critics… Awards… everything goes on…

Then another movie is coming…

Again, the teasers… trailers… scenes…. The Movie finally… this goes on & on… Hidden process of our own mind & its origin!  In another way, the hidden truth of origin of “I”! 

A Spiritual Person…

Identifies “fan” in a wrong place… Spiritual person believes, “Liking” the movie is what making someone a fan… “Disliking” as not a fan. 

So, one shouldn’t be a “Fan” and that is where; neither like nor dislike, just neutral about the movie… and that makes one spiritual… wise… intellectual… blah… blah… blah…

This is 100% spiritual... it is Good in a way when compared to the messy lifestyle… but not exceed the existence… not the wisdom… Surely NOT the BUDDHISM! Because the role of the “FAN” identified in the wrong place…

Read it from the beginning… yes dear friends now…!!

If you noticed… the “fan” born before the reactions of liking or disliking or neutral mood…

This “Fan” is nothing but the so call “I”! “I” arise with the unawareness of the real situation of those meetings which mentioned at the top…

Just because of the unawareness over eyes - forms, ears - sounds, nose - fragrances, tongue - tastes, body – contacts “Thrilling… Suspense… Attraction… Focus… Waiting… Impatience… all kind of emotions begins... rolling…” and brought the movie…

Each frame of the movie itself creates the “fan” just because of the unawareness.  That’s where mindfulness should arise.  But for that one should know the creative work of this process & its output!

Buddhism is all about knowing the origin of “I” … Buddhism is all about knowing the origin of everything… it’s not about being just spiritual… it’s far more advance than being spiritual… It’s not what most of us believe it is… So, give a chance to find out your origin.  Coz that surprise is unmatchable to any surprises what we have in our lives…!!!
