Overview
The short animation attempts to express the world view of Buddhism. Buddhism is not spiritualism as commonly understood by people. In fact, Buddhism emphasizes illusion. All things that can be perceived and thought in the world are illusions, and only the self nature is the real noumenon.
How it feels
Slow-burning and demanding.
About
