Zen Tale | The Poet & The Master | A Lesson In Humility

Journey into the heart of ancient China with our animated retelling of the timeless Zen story of Su Dongpo, the celebrated poet, and his spiritual friend, the Buddhist monk Foyin.

In this captivating animation, Su Dongpo finds himself basking in self-congratulatory pride after penning a poem that likens his mind to the serene and unmovable Buddha. Expecting accolades, he sends his work across the river to Foyin, only to receive a startling and perplexing response: "fart."

What follows is a profound exploration of ego, anger, and the true nature of self-awareness. Witness Su Dongpo's transformative journey as he confronts Foyin, only to discover that his outward tranquility masks an inner turbulence. But the story doesn't end there. With a touch of humor, Foyin humbles his friend further by claiming he might have broken his finger. As Su Dongpo attempts to help by pulling Foyin's finger, the monk lets one rip, adding a playful twist to the tale.

This story, wrapped in vibrant animation and imbued with deep philosophical insight, serves as a timeless reminder of the importance of humility and the often elusive quest for inner peace. Whether you're a lover of Zen Buddhism, poetry, or simply enjoy tales that challenge the status quo, this video will leave you reflecting on the true nature of the unmovable mind—with a smile.
