I was thinking on the relevance of this topics when I watching
Lord of the Rings
Well ,Here I am
I decided to offer some explanation to forumites abt the similarity
of the Lord of the Rings trilogy ,Matrix , The Sunken Atlantis and
many more to come
The story of JRR Tolkien which tolds about the Evil Ring of the
Darkness being found , the ardous journey by the fellowship to
destroy the Ring , particularly Frodo adventure
and the exit of the Elves people and the Final Dominion of
Mankind
In a Buddhist sutra(I forgot the name of the Sutra) which was also
taught by my venerable ,we originate from the Light Sound heaven
which we were once fairies ,the disaster of the heaven cause us to
come down to Planet Earth to live .
In the beginning ,we fly about in the country , until fairies
consume a certain plants that grows on the Earth ,it cause us to be
heavier and thus we are bound by gravity
Next ,fairies see thing in a monotonous grey ,however when
frequently consumed the earth plants , the sense of colour was
aroused
Then there was no sexual differentiation ,but when they start to
differentiate the sexes , there comes relationship and couples
build houses to stay in private from the community , thus become
the growth of housing needs
and as insufficient supply of food arise due to natural disaster ,
people start to fight and enmity arises
Just remember about the title ...it is called in chinese Qi shi
jing
All this is recorded in the sutra , none of them is fabrication of
my imagination
it is akin to the Elves people who lives in the Rivendell and
Lothlorien and some wander in the woods which slowly becomes
human
About the Elves leaving for the West after their times up in Middle
kingdom, actually does symbolise the west is the ultimate
destination one takes
Okay , I not going to pinpoint or favour the western or eastern
Pureland , it is just a metaphorical example on the
Norwegian/Finnish culture JRR Tolkien is based on
so anyone have any comments on this ....
I will post on the Sunken Atlantis in the next few posting
....
