I am taking a wonderful Buddhist meditation class right now and they showed this film which is symbolic on many levels. I’ll name a few that I came up with (below).
Don’t waste your life making the same mistakes over and over.
Life gives you many opportunities to let go of your delusions and attachments, but you need to pay attention and wake up to take advantage of those opportunities.
It often takes a catastrophe to awaken and let go and surrender your former self.
Be careful not to let go of one obsession only to replace it with another.
We have endless thoughts that beget other thoughts and these can rule our life if we don’t let them go and find emptiness through meditation.
