“Dham” has
been a monk for his whole life of 27 years
in a temple in the north-eastern part of
Thailand. He never goes out of the temple
to anywhere. The “modern technology” or
“Globalization” is unknown to him.
One day, Dham is informed about the death
of his only elder sister due to the bomb
incidents in a province in the southern
part of Thailand, caused by a group of Muslim
terrorists. His sister leaves Maria, her
7-year-old daughter alone in the world.
So, Dham has to help his niece find her
own father. Dham decides to temporarily
leave his ordination for the matter. As
soon as his niece finds her Malasian father,
he will return to the temple where he belongs.
Dham begins to realize that his new experiences
are totally different from his peaceful
life as a monk in the temple, residing in
the deep forest. Dham’s first taste of life
earns him the feelings of disappointment
and fulfillment, love and lust, and all
other feelings that lead him to the heart
of the Buddha’s teachings.
The fact that says “To hold on to things
are the cause sufferings” and “Love always
causes pain”, has become clearly understandable
to him. Dham has come to another junction
of life where there is only one way he can
take. Will he return to his previous world,
building a new bridge from his personal
newly-found enlightenment that can truly
connect Buddha’s teachings with human minds?
Or will he listen to his heart and allow
himself to experience the new-found life,
circling around world of the passions, yet,
bringing him the bigger-than-life love together
with the woman he loves. |
