|
|
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 2 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 the previous episode,
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.
Thank you for watching
today’s
Enlightening Entertainment.
Please stay tuned
to Supreme Master
Television. Coming up
is Words of Wisdom.
May you and your
loved ones be graced with
wisdom and noble love.
Farewell for now, and
we’ll see you next week.
Next is a sword duel
between two royal relatives
Nanda and Anuttara.
Welcome,
Crown Prince Siddhartha.
Welcome,
Prince Devadatta.
Congratulations,
Your Highness!
You’re extraordinary.
You didn’t let
His Majesty down.
That’s enough to
prove Your Highness’
talent and virtue.
I now offer
my precious gem to you.
Bravo, Your Highness
Siddhartha!
O beloved Prince,
why are you always sad?
How about I call
the royal maid to entertain
you with story-telling?
You used to like it
when you were unhappy.
No. Today I’m in
no mood to listen to
the tasteless daily stories
of the human life.
Yaso! (Yes.)
Stay with me here
in the dark.
Have these artificial
lights turned off
so that I can awaken
my inner light.
You may leave! Wait!
Put out all the candles in
this room for me! (Yes.)
O beloved Yasodhara!
Do you hear it?
Every time I rest my head
on your arm,
I feel something
billowing inside
like unrelenting waves
rolling on the sand beach,
then receding
into nothingness.
Those were times
I yearned to travel
beyond high mountains
and vast seas.
There were days
I followed the sun
from dawn to dusk.
There were nights
I stayed awake with
the moon and stars
to envision other horizons
where there are souls
that I adore, where there
are people I haven’t met,
but I’m sure
they will welcome me.
Yet I’m confined
in these 3 layers
of citadel’s walls.
How can I be happy?
O universe!
I hear you now.
What did you hear,
darling?
O winds from
thousands of directions!
I’ve heard the laments.
Oh, wandering!
We’re the winds
wandering for many
thousand centuries,
searching for
a peaceful rest which
doesn’t exist on Earth.
Where are we from?
When did we begin?
When will we rest?
Where will we end up?
We never know.
At times,
we even screamed
amid the mountains
over the immense seas,
yet resentment
and hatred still return,
then again,
we weep among
the whizzing pines.
Being wind and cloud,
we still feel sorrow
and suffering,
as any human does –
a human life
is like a puff of wind.
We’ve traversed
hundreds of rivers and
thousands of mountains,
witnessed countless cases
of decadence
and upheavals:
bodies squirming in pain,
desperate voices shrieking
in the dark night,
the smell of burnt flesh
on the pyre,
the stench of blood
on the battlefields.
O Prince!
Listen to the streaming
tears of anguish,
the bitter resentment
of myriad
withering autumns.
O world!
There’s a long sigh
of sorrow.
Why do you still wallow
in fleeting pleasures?
Wake up now!
Wake up, Your Highness,
the son of
kind-hearted Maya.
Set out now!
Find the way of
liberation for humanity
to follow.
Set out now,
beloved Prince!
Hear ye! Hear ye!
Tomorrow,
Crown Prince Siddhartha
will tour the capital.
His Majesty ordered
for all streets to be
decorated beautifully to
welcome His Highness.
No one is allowed
to expose unsightly
or distressful views.
The aged, feeble or
disabled are not to stay
about on the street.
All cremations must be
changed to another day.
Those who don’t abide
will be severely punished.
Attention, everyone!
Let’s go quickly, Elder!
You people here!
Move quickly!
These sick people
are so slow!
Have pity on them, please!
Hurry up! Don’t you
hang around here!
All right, move quickly!
Why are you still
standing there? Quickly!
Go home, Elder!
Start packing up!
A thousand Springs
to the Crown Prince!
A thousand Springs
to the Crown Prince!
The Crown Prince
is so good-looking!
A thousand Springs
to the Crown Prince!
Stop!
What an adorable child!
Come to me!
This is for you.
Thank you, Your Highness.
It’s a blessing
to meet His Highness
face to face today.
That’s right.
All right, Chandaka!
Let’s move on.
Yes, Your Highness.
Continue on!
His Highness looks
so kind-hearted.
He looks very majestic.
A thousand Springs
to the Crown Prince!
Look, sweetie!
The Crown Prince looks
so stately, doesn’t he?
Go away! Go!
Yes, sir.
Get away!
Stop! Chandaka!
What is it?
Is that a human?
How come
he doesn’t look at all
like anyone around me?
Your Highness,
this is an old man.
At birth, he looked
like everyone else,
but the destructive force
of time has made him
like that.
It’s normal.
Don’t be concerned,
Your Highness.
Chandaka,
you said this is normal?
So, I, Yasodhara
and everyone
will become like that?
Everyone will,
eventually,
when they grow old.
Let’s go back, Chandaka!
I don’t want
to go anymore. (Yes.)
Your Highness,
it’s meal time.
Please come in,
Her Highness
the Princess is waiting.
Go tell the Princess that
I’m not hungry yet.
I want to be alone. (Yes.)
Why are you so sad
after your tour outside
the citadel today?
Did anything displease you?
Regardless
of what happened,
our love is enough
to bring happiness to us.
O sweetheart,
this happiness we have
isn’t permanent.
Some day we will be old,
feeble and ugly.
Time will spread
over our hair layers
of silvery ashes.
Your clear eyes
will turn opaque,
your rosy lips
will lose their luster
and these two beautiful
hands will shrivel
like dry sticks.
Say no more,
O beloved Prince!
Listening to those
dismal forecasts,
my fragile heart is as
if broken to pieces.
Yaso, have courage
to hear me through,
because I feel something
inside me, inside you
and everyone crumbling
further every day.
The force of time
is destroying
the most precious things
in a human life.
I hear inside me,
inside you and everyone
the thunderous sound
of carriages carrying
those treasures away,
one after another.
Yet everyone simply
watches the destruction,
feeling helpless.
We hold desperately onto
the treasures inside us
as if holding onto
a shadow or grasping
a breath of air.
You seem very tired.
Let me help you go inside.
Guards?
Yes, Your Majesty,
I’m at your command.
I’ve just dreamt of
seven bad signs.
Quickly invite
the senior official here
for a discussion,
then summon
the Crown Prince here
for my instruction.
Order obeyed.
Your son, Siddhartha,
respectfully greets
the Royal Father.
Be at ease, son.
Did you have a good rest
last night?
Last night, I dreamt of
seven bad omens.
Those seven signs
foretold that you will
abandon the throne
and luxurious palace.
I’m so worried.
Royal Father,
last time you wished
to please me,
so you ordered people
to hide all the unsightly
and suffering scenes,
and only display
happy ones.
I don’t know how to
fully repay that favor.
No. I didn’t
cover up anything
I just had the guards
clean up the streets;
that’s all.
Royal Father,
I think what I saw
isn’t truly people’s
everyday existence.
May I implore you to
magnanimously allow me
to get in contact with
the commoners’ lives
to see clearly
how they live and work,
so that I understand more
thoroughly about life.
All right.
I’ll let you find out
what daily existence
is all about.
I’m very grateful to you,
Royal Father.
Please allow me
to take leave.
Your Majesty,
senior official Kaludavi
wishes to present himself.
Invite him in. (Yes.)
Long live Your Majesty!
Be at ease!
Last night,
I dreamt of seven signs
which foretold of
the Crown Prince
renouncing worldly life.
I invited you here
to discuss this, but then
I just had another idea.
I’ll let him go and
find out about people’s
everyday lives.
Tomorrow,
order a group of guards
to disguise themselves
and secretly follow
the Crown Prince
to protect him.
Your Majesty,
your abrupt decision
makes me nervous.
Don’t worry.
I’ve thought it through.
My son was greatly
moved by the sight
of people in distress
because he just saw it
for the first time.
But this time,
he will get used to
other scenes of suffering
and won’t feel
as shocked as before.
I should let
the Crown Prince
acquaint himself
with the outside world.
In fact, people always
see better as outsiders.
Daily contact
will make him less
emotionally sensitive.
Your Majesty
is very wise, indeed!
Chandaka, take me
outside the citadel. (Yes.)
Remember to call me
“Elder Brother.”
Let no one know
who I am, you hear?
Yes, Your Highness.
Again!
Oh... Elder Brother.
Let’s go.
Come buy freshly
arrived apples, Sir.
Good brocade!
Be loyal to your country.
Be pious to your parents.
Be loyal to your country.
Be pious to your parents.
Greatly respect the virtuous.
Kindly treat the righteous.
Forgive the ignorant.
Be loyal to your country.
Be pious to your parents.
Greatly respect the virtuous.
Kindly treat the righteous.
Forgive the ignorant.
Help me, anyone!
What happened to you?
Tell me!
Why are you groaning
so much?
Why is he groaning
so miserably?
Is there a cure? Tell me!
Your Highness,
this man has
an infectious disease.
There is no cure.
But Elder Brother,
let go of him,
or else you will be infected.
Oh, you must feel
very pained, don’t you?
Chandaka, this disease
can be transmitted to me?
Yes.
Let’s go, Your Highness.
This disease
is very dangerous.
No,
I can’t abandon this man.
Move away!
Where are they taking him?
They are taking him
away for treatment.
If you meet
another sick person,
don’t get close,
Your Highness.
The disease
will transmit to you.
But this isn’t
the only illness.
There are many other
dangerous illnesses,
such as cholera,
smallpox, chickenpox,
and many more.
Oh, how can I possibly
name them all?
Who knows when
those negative diseases
will enter us?
It comes quietly
like a snake crawling
under the grass,
like a tiger stalking
by the stream,
but when it surfaces
it happens like lightning.
So humans always
live in fear and anxiety?
Yes, Your Highness.
From what I know,
human life is like that.
As a man of great wisdom,
you also know
that there are always
surprises awaiting us.
If we don’t run
into this mishap, then
we’ll run into another
until we’re exhausted.
That is the day we
breathe our last breath.
I think this is your concern.
Mom, why did you
abandon me?
O Mom!
Don’t you love me?
Why did you leave me?
There it is!
The fire will burn,
and a human corpse
will turn to ashes
in four directions.
That’s the end of a life.
No one can avoid that.
Though I live
in a glorious palace
and have this strong
and youthful body,
in the end those things
are meaningless to me.
Your Highness,
please wake up, so I may
have a few words.
What do you wish to say,
my beloved?
O Prince, my hopes
have all vanished.
I just dreamt of
three unfavorable signs
for my future.
In the first dream,
there was a cow
as white as crystal,
walking across the street.
He had a diamond
sparkling like a star
on his forehead.
He walked leisurely
toward the citadel’s gate.
Then there was shouting
in desperation:
“If you people let the cow go,
this citadel will lose
its splendid beauty.”
But the cow walked on.
No one can stop him.
I ran after him, put
my arm around his neck,
and called the soldiers
to close the citadel gate,
but the cow gently
walked straight out.
In the second dream,
I saw something bright
as lapis lazuli
in the firmament
approaching our citadel gate
and a gust of wind
passed by, the flag pole
above the gate snapped,
and another flag rose up.
Don’t be distressed.
You’ll be comforted
by an immense love.
Though those dreams
are the foreshadowing
of events to come,
though Heaven and Earth
turn upside down,
though everything changes,
and despite whatever
happens to us,
have faith that
I’ve loved you and
will always love you.
Now go back to sleep,
my beloved Princess.
Do you know
that day and night,
I think of a way
to deliver this world
from suffering?
My love encompasses
the whole universe,
then to you the one
who has always been
by my side and taken
care of my happiness,
how can I not feel
deep affection?
Though my body
is like an eagle
flying all over the world,
my heart will always
be with my loved ones.
It will be a great comfort
for you
to think that one day,
due to your sacrifice,
the whole world lives
in peace and happiness.
Be courageous and
magnanimous to shoulder
with me some of
humanity’s suffering.
Oh, how wonderful
are the visions
in your dreams!
It’s not so, O Prince!
I’m very afraid
because I heard
frightening voices:
“The time has come!”
I haven’t heard about
your third dream.
In the third dream,
I saw myself looking
toward where you lay
but you were
not there anymore.
The time has come!
Those voices woke me up.
What is that voice
if not a sign that
I’m about to die
or that you’re about
to leave me?
Don’t leave me!
It’d be a pity for me,
O Prince!
Try to go back to sleep,
love!
It’s late into the night.
I must choose
one of the two paths:
Glory or compassion?
Do I want
to be a great king
or forsake the throne
and go out
into the dusty world?
I will go out into the world,
in the silence
of the dark night.
I read my fate
in the silvery light
of the moon and stars.
I’ll go;
I’ll renounce the throne.
I don’t want to conquer
by the sharp sword.
I don’t want to be a king
whose chariot wheels
are steeped
in the red blood of
a thousand battlefields
and leave a dreadful
memory for posterity.
I want to set my pure foot
on the path of hardship:
the ground as my bed,
leaves as my clothing,
and alms as my food.
I just want to eradicate
the misery of humanity.
I must sacrifice everything
and struggle until the day
I find a remedy
for suffering.
I believe that
there is such a cure,
as there isn’t a treasure
that can be obtained
without effort
or that one needs not
use all his might,
intelligence
and a powerful love
to secure it.
O humanity
writhing in pain!
O suffering world!
Because of you,
I renounce my title,
forsake the valued throne,
forgo golden days
and jeweled nights,
tear myself away
from the clinging hands
of my gentle wife,
sunder myself
from the strong love
of my Royal Father,
abandon my newborn
now lying by his mother.
From now on,
I’ll never repose
on this bed again.
O Royal Father,
gentle wife, infant son
and nation!
Please bear this
separation until the day
I attain enlightenment.
O dark night!
Press down the eyelids
of these beautiful women
and shut tight those lips.
Let not a drop of
sentimental tear fall down,
let not a call of loyalty
hold back my steps.
Everyone,
I’m going to leave you.
I can’t stay in this palace
to witness your beauty
withering away with time
and feel helpless about it.
I’ll go find for you
a peaceful life,
an everlasting beauty.
I bid you all farewell.
I’m leaving now.
Chandaka!
Yes, Your Highness.
Bring the horse Kanthaka
here for me.
But where do you want
to go at this dark hour?
Keep it down!
Yes, it’s because
everything is still in
darkness that I must go.
I’m leaving to escape
the throne that
keeps me confined.
I’m going to seek the
Truth to deliver beings.
You forsake the throne,
forsake a kingdom
of which you will
be the ruler to
take up a beggar’s life.
That’s my wish.
I wish not to be attached
to this small kingdom
in order to love
the vast universe.
I forgo these treasures
to go find humanity
eternal treasures.
Bring the horse Kanthaka
here!
Please think of
His Majesty’s anguish
and the Princess’ sorrow.
If you go away,
who will protect
your loved ones?
Stand up, Chandaka!
I can’t remain here
to indulge
in selfish pleasures.
Because of my love
for my Royal Father,
my wife and son,
I’m leaving
to find eternal love
for humanity.
Now, go bring the horse
here for me.
Kanthaka!
Help carry me off on a
very, very long journey!
Tonight,
I set out to find the Truth,
though I know not yet
where to find it.
But I will not halt my steps
until I discover it.
Kanthaka,
be courageous!
Let no obstacles stop you.
Though impeded by
a thousand webs of trials,
high citadels
or perilous mountains,
you must gallop
like lightning to help me.
Later,
if I attain enlightenment,
you will reap
part of the merit.
Your Royal Highness!
Chandaka! Look at that!
Your Highness!
