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.
