Little Buddha Page #6

and you live in me.

O lord of my own ego,

you are pure illusion.

You do not exist.

The earth is my witness.

[ Lama Norbu ] Siddhartha won

the battle against an army of demons,

just through the force

of his love...

and the great compassion

he had found.

[ Lama Norbu ]

And he achieved...

the great calm

that precedes...

detachment

from illusions.

He had reached

beyond himself.

He was beyond

joy or pain,

separate from judgment.

Able to remember

that he had been...

a girl, a dolphin,

a tree, a monkey.

[ Chuckles ]

He remembered

his first birth...

and the millions

after that.

He could see

beyond the universe.

- Siddhartha...

- [ Monkeys Squealing ]

had seen the ultimate

reality of all things.

He had understood...

that every movement

in the universe...

is an effect

provoked by a cause.

He knew there was

no salvation...

without compassion

for every other being.

From that moment on,

Siddhartha was called

the Buddha,

the Awakened One.

They began making this mandala

the day I left the monastery.

And now it is

almost complete.

[ Dean ] It's beautiful.

Why is it made of sand?

[ Lama Norbu ] To show the impermanence

of all within the universe.

So when

it is completed,

it'll be destroyed

with one gesture.

Like that.

[ Lama Norbu ]

It is very mysterious, Your Holiness.

All three children

show the same signs.

Then we must ask

the oracle, Lama Norbu.

Though in the end,

only you can decide.

Raju! Raju!

Oh, my teacher,

I'm so happy

to have found you again.

Raju, come here!

Raju!

[ Monks Chanting,

Singing ]

Oh, my teacher,

I'm so happy

to have found you again.

[ Singing Continues ]

[ Singing Continues ]

My teacher,

I'm so happy

to have found you...

at last.

Perhaps one day,

you will find me.

I am truly happy,

three times happy.

But how can we all

be Lama Dorje?

[ Singing Continues ]

[ Singing Stops ]

It is very rare,

but it has happened before.

Separate manifestations...

of the body, the speech

and the mind.

None of these three

exists without the others.

All of us

are attached...

like the world

to the universe.

But remember this:

The most important

thing of all...

is to feel compassion

for all beings,

to give of oneself,

and above all,

to pass on knowledge,

like the Buddha.

[ Whip Cracks ]

[ Chattering in Tibetan ]

Jesse! Jesse!

- You all right?

- Uh, yes,

thank you.

A little overcome,

that's all.

- [ Sighs ]

- It's been a kind of

emotional time for all of us.

I'm afraid... I'm not

a very good example...

of Buddhist detachment.

Children.

We are all children.

Um...

the bowl

is for Jesse.

And, uh,

this is for you.

My work is done.

Now I can rest.

I can go back

to... Tibet,

to the place

I was born.

[ Chuckling ]

You still don't believe

in reincarnation,

do you?

[ Chuckling ]

[ Continues

Chuckling ]

[ Coughs, Gasps ]

[ Pants ]

Yesterday, he talked about

going back to Tibet.

He must have meant

something different.

Someone like Lama Norbu

can remain like this...

for ten days...

or even more.

He can sit like a mountain,

serene and unmovable.

And he can meditate

deep and vast as ocean.

And then, smoothly,

while doing meditation,

he can enter into the state of death...

with his own will.

- He's dying.

- We're all dying every minute.

Death is a big part

of life.

Every breath that

we breathe... we die.

What about

his passion for life?

What about the people

he's leaving behind?

He will come back.

I don't know if I believe it,

but I'd like to.

[ Drumming, Chanting ]

[ Drumming,

Chanting Continue ]

- Lama Norbu passed away.

- [ All Chanting ]

[ Chanting Continues ]

[ Lama Norbu's Voice ]

Raju!

Jesse! Gita!

They are chanting

the Heart Sutra.

The beautiful prayer.

Keep it with you

in your hearts, always.

[ Chanting ]

Form is empty.

Emptiness is form.

No eye, ear, nose,

tongue,

body, mind.

No color, sound,

smell, taste,

touch, existing thing.

[ Chuckling Quietly ]

Lama Norbu just said:

No eye, no ear, no nose.

No Jesse, no Lama!

No you!

No death and no fear!

[ Lama Norbu ]

No old age in death.

No end to old age

in death.

No suffering.

No "cause of"...

or "end to"... suffering.

No path.

No wisdom.

And no gain.

No gain.

Thus bodhisattvas lived...

in perfect understanding

with no hindrance of mind.

No hindrance,

therefore, no fear.

Far beyond deluded thoughts.

This is Nirvana.

- I can't get it open.

- I'll show you.

This is

Lama Norbu's kata.

This is Lama Norbu.

[ Dean ]

Come on, buddy! Give me a hand here.

Come on, Lisa.

Everybody goes!

Okay, I'm coming!

I only wish we had

a crane to get me on board.

I can hear him kicking!

Or her.

Hey, Jesse.

Is it time?

Yes.

I think it's time.
