A Student meets his teacher in a field

 

The first encounter between yogi Milarepa and his teacher, the Marpa took place in a field. Here, the teacher asked his student to plow the field. Thus, this simple task in the field became the auspicious link to Milarepa fulfilling the great task of liberating sentient beings. The video conveys the message of interdependence, power of causes and effects, and devotion.

The Busuku

 

The video, titled “Busuku”, is about a Shantideva, who taught the Buddhist text the Bodhicharyavatara. The video (1:11 minutes) shows Busuku appearing on the high thorn, teaching a large audience, and disappearing into the sky. The video has a message of how one must not throw judgment on others based on a few physical circumstances.

After attending the basic animation training, LME was able to produce two short 2D animation videos. One video will be uploaded soon. The animations are based on stories that have Buddhist morals and values. Both the videos are intended for educational purposes and augmentation of the LME curriculum. The aim of the project is to create materials that meet the preference of current young people and kids’ mindset. Thus, we are exploring to use of modern tools to educate the ancient wisdom tradition for our young students.

We will keep on producing similar short animations for educational purposes.
