The Temple Returns (Brazil, Spain) by Jose Aragon
14m
A dance video that tells the story of the internal and incessant search of human beings to discover the purpose of their lives.
It is a reflection on the issues of humanity that prevent us from evolving, such as power and subjugation, the uncontrollable hunger to fulfill desires, and the lack of empathy and sensitivity toward other beings. It is based on the study of the ten states of life from Buddhist teachings, which describe inner worlds that exist within all living beings at every moment. These states are inherently present in our lives, ranging from the lowest and most painful states to the highest and most enlightened ones. This concept offers a useful framework for understanding both the changeable nature of our moods and the fundamental tendencies of our personality.
Even more significantly, it provides a sense of the immense possibilities inherent in life at every moment.
