Path to Enlightenment, 2/4

Posted on June 6, 2014August 21, 2015 by Dharma Documentaries
The second part of this film series on the Life of the Buddha and his Disciples covering some of the main events in his early career (Vietnamese with English Subtitles)

Path-to-Enlightenment-2

This is the second part of the story of the Buddha and his Disciples in a film made by the Hoang Phap Monastery in Vietnam, and again we have a good collection of stories woven together.

At the beginning we find Sariputra and Maudgallayana seeking out the Buddha with their disciples, and they eventually meet Him during a Dhamma Teaching in the forest at night, and are later singled out by the Buddha.

The Buddha also meets with the wandering ascetic Kasyapa (soon to be Maha Kasyapa), and accepts him as a disciple, and allows him to continue with his dhutanga practices, as an example for future generations.

We then get the strory of Anathapi??ika, his initial meeting with the Buddha, and his buying of Jeta’s Wood at Sravasti by placing gold to cover the ground; during this episode we also see Sariputra debating with the brahmins, who are won over to the new teaching.

The scene moves on to Kapilavastu, where the Buddha meets up with his family, and ordains his son Rahula, the low-caste barber Upali (soon to be foremost in Vinaya), as well as numerous others of the Sakyan clan, including Devadatta, who is portrayed as haughty and jealous from the beginning.
