Saw a wonderful movie called Samsara, about a young man who becomes a Buddhist Llama but is unable is resist the lure of the world. He puts aside his robes, falls in love, marries and starts a family. The death of his old master and a cryptic note he leaves behind makes him rethink his purpose in life and brings him once again to the crossroads.
Some memorable quotes from the movie, quoted out of context here but still retain their wisdom and stay in mind for long after -
There are things we must unlearn in order to learn them
and there are things we must own in order to renounce them.
How can one prevent a drop of water from ever drying up?
By throwing it into the sea...
What is more important -
satisfying one thousand desires
or conquering just one?
