Where Does This All Lead To?

[Key Elements]

@Leo Gura I would like to make a bold statement here. I also wonder sometimes what does self-actualization + life purpose + enlightenment + being in the present moment lead to? When you look at these videos of the 10 Ox Herding Pics: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3, it doesn't end with Riding the Ox Backwards. It ends with The Cloth Bag Monk. It is incredibly hard to just go around telling people this. People, in general, will have to discover it for themselves. Showing through a life purpose or by action is probably the way to do it, but even that isn't easy to discover and show how to live life to the fullest, in the present moment, and with the flow of life. The "Ripple Effect" of this story across the world is a very slow process. For anyone, it's a very personal journey that has to be discovered on their own. Imo, Shaolin monks, for example, they show instead of telling. They don't speak much. They speak only if they have to. They teach kung fu as mastery, and anything else (wisdom/enlightenment/etc), they only speak of it when the student is ready. That's why Shinzen Young was saying, "When the student is ready, the teacher appears." The vise versa is also true -- "When the teacher is ready, the students appear."

That's why I like this movie a lot. It's probably my favourite. It's the least superficial, unlike the movies played out on TV and in the theaters. To me, it's a very rare movie.
