Pa Muang City, A.D. 1567.
A succession of catastrophes
befell the city,
starting with a tremendous
earthquake,
followed by a great fire
and an epidemic.
They wiped out
more than half of the population.
Shortly afiemards,
there occurred a bizarre murder.
Singh Kham, the vicious forest bandit,
was arrested.
Forthwith the court handed down
a death sentence
to exorcize the misfortunes
that had struck the city.
PUBLIC EXECUTION
LAN LUANG,
PA MUANG, A.D. 1567
PHRA TAT NAKORN:
PA MUANG TEMPLE:
Arnont, are you serious
about leaving the monkhood?
I am, sir.
I've thought it through.
You're the most devout follower
of the Buddhist precepts I've ever met.
You might want to give it
a second thought.
If you set out on a pilgrimage
and spend time in solitude
you might find the answer
to the riddle of life
that has clouded your soul.
I will pay a visit to my father
in Chiang Kam,
then I...
Good bye.
Be your own instructor
and judge your own behaviors
when one commits a sin
one is in one's own misery.
Self-conquest is the best
although it is very diicult.
One needs to help oneself
although it is very diicult.
Dhanna is the answer.
Those who have knowledge
are enlightened.
Your own enlightenment
is the essence of dhanna
and knowledge.
TAT LUANG TEMPLE,
CHIANG KAM, AD. 1557
Mother, can I be
a monk forever?
No, you can't.
When you grow up,
you'll have to help your father.
You'll have to
find yourself a wife.
You'll have to make a living
and build a family.
That's the path of life,
my son.
The truth of existence
everything is impennanent.
in a way that is true
to the way things are,
that accords with the underlying
truth of things.
GLAZIER'S RESIDENCE,
CHIANG KAM, A.D. 1562
I'm so blessed to have
two wonderful sons.
Anant is a skilled merchant,
and you're a splendid craftsman.
Our family will make enough money
to last a few generations.
Anant, come look
at your brother's work.
Magnificent.
Well done, brother.
Anant,
Kham Eung is here
to discuss the wedding.
Excuse me, Father.
Your brother is getting married,
and so are you.
But, Father,
I've already approached Kam Duen,
daughter of the wealthy goldsmith.
- But, Father...
- Listen, son.
The path I've prepared for you
is the best.
Yes, Father.
creates suffering
that is toxic
causing more suffering.
It's a girl!
Mother has passed away.
Father,
I want to be ordained
to repay Mother's kindness.
TAT LUANG TEMPLE,
CHIANG KAM, A.D. 1566
Father is very old now.
He doesn't have many years
ahead of him.
He'll be happy
if you'd leave the monkhood
and come back home.
Brother,
we cannot see our souls
by looking into a mirror.
I've devoted my life
and soul to the virtue
of Lord Buddha
since the day I clothed myself
in saffron.
Now it's time for me to make
a pilgrimage to Pa Muang City
to study Lord Buddha's teachings.
Farewell, brother.
The truth of existence
everything is impennanent.
One should strive to act in a way
that is true to the way things are,
that accords with
the underlying truth of things.
Sir! Sir!
I've been looking for you
everywhere.
Is it true that you've
left the temple?
A storm is coming, sir.
Let's find shelter
in Pa Muang Tunnel.
Please get inside, sir.
It's warmer.
Sir.
Do you really intend
to disrobe?
I have to get this
off of my chest, sir.
The testimony that you and I
heard in court is total nonsense.
But if you're leaving the temple
just because of that,
it doesn't make sense either.
And what is it
that makes sense?
I'm just an uneducated
woodcutter.
All I can do is cut wood.
An earthquake.
What did you say?
Fire.
Famine.
Epidemic.
Those things are not unnatural.
You can't blame the rain
and the lightning.
No matter how strong
an earthquake is...
I can understand it.
But what I can't understand
is the cruelty
that we force upon ourselves
Sir, please stay here.
You won't find any other shelter
from the rain.
Please stay here
until the storm's passed.
This Pa Muang Tunnel...
used to be mighty and strong.
Now it's crumbling,
like the human soul.
Sir,
that you've preached dharma
to a lot of people.
You heard what I heard
yesterday in court.
It should be clear to you by now
whether those people
ever learned any dharma.
That's right.
I really don't get it.
But there must be
an explanation.
I'm just too stupid to see it.
Then I'm stupid too.
I can't find
an explanation either.
That's not true.
You're a monk.
You're intelligent.
Is that so?
Then...
why do the faces
of those people
still haunt me?
Why do those words they uttered
still echo in my ears?
Why do I keep searching
for an answer?
The only answer I've found...
is that I'm so dimwitted...
that I don't deserve to preach
to others anymore.
Where are you going next?
I don't know.
I don't.
Let's move to the other side.
It doesn't look good here.
What's this ruckus?
I'm trying to sleep!
Shut your mouth!
Shut my mouth?
What about yours?
What about the baldy's mouth?
Blasphemy!
You're talking to a monk!
A monk?
I don't believe it.
Monks usually make me sleep.
