Milarepa (2025) Movie Script
1
In a world destroyed by war
and fallen into ignorance,
I wander like a stray dog
in search of a better place.
A journey holding little or no promise.
Your supplies! Dog!
Where are they? Beggar!
Where are they? Uh?
Die! You bastard rat!
And the gold.
Out with the gold, you dog!
We'll take it all!
Even the rags.
Everything, he must die!
Nothing!
Nothing, nothing worthy!
Beggar!
Nothing worth anything!
We're losing our time
with this beggar!
You will not need anything anymore!
This is how it was
supposed to end.
What I deserved.
In my younger days,
I had wrought much evil.
And in my maturity, much good.
But now, I have rejected all
considerations of good and evil.
Black and white.
I was born under a favorable star,
in the male year of the Sea Dragon,
First month of autumn, 25th day.
And mine was a life of
ease and abundance.
My Signora!
May I put the flowers
in the master's study?
Of course my dear.
Sherab loves flowers.
He will be pleased.
- Zesay, try and catch me!
- I'll eat you, Mila!
- I'll catch you!
- You can't get me, monster!
You've got to get me first!
Mila, you shouldn't be here.
Your father has work to do.
No, not to worry, Daka. I'm done.
As you wish.
Come, little one.
I always have time for you.
Look.
- It's rare, like you. My rosebud.
- Beautiful.
- Our secret.
- Yeah.
I'm looking for a
place to stay tonight.
Our home is blessed to have you.
- Join us for dinner.
- God blees you.
Come in.
Where are you headed?
Over the mountains.
To cast out a demon that has been
haunting a poor family's home.
- How is that done?
- Demons are impressionable
little creatures.
And almost always afraid of magic.
You're a magician?
- Can you show us some magic?
- Mila.
It's not polite to make
demands upon a guest.
Oh, not to worry. It's the least I can
do to honor your generous hospitality.
Now look out the window.
Your enemies must be
terribly afraid of you.
Your enemies come from your mind.
To control them, you must
learn to control your mind.
The time will come when
you will understand that.
- "Sh-ships, will come across -"
- Yeah.
- "A huge thing -"
-Hmm...
"on the high seas -"
- "a l-long, fu-si-fo-fusiform.
- "S-sometimes -"
- Time to sleep.
- No, I wanna stay here!
- No, do as your mama says.
We'll carry on tomorrow. I promise.
Uh?
All right.
You know that women aren't
allowed to be educated.
A dangerous game.
I have to leave and
be gone a few weeks.
An important transaction
across the desert.
That's too dangerous!
Too many robbing
marauders these days.
- Can't you send someone else?
- I'll bring some cousins along.
We'll be safe.
Don't worry. Come.
Come.
Come here. Come here, honey.
I will start preparations
for your journey.
Okay. Okay.
If you're leaving again,
I wanna come with you.
No, not possible.
The journey is too long.
But I promise to be back
in time for your birthday.
And with a special gift for my rosebud.
Come on, come on.
No, no, no, no, no...
My little rosebud.
- Petal! Look how nice it is!
- Do you like it?
- Well done, yes!
- Good, Petal
- A letter for the mistress of the house.
- Thank you.
A letter.
Speak to me, Sherab!
Say something my love!
Water!
Water! Hurry up!
He's burning with fever!
You need to get better.
We need you.
Your daughters need you.
No my sweet, you can't go in.
Papa needs to rest.
Mila, my love. Come.
This fever will not let me go.
Mila is still young.
So I place my holdings under
the protection of all of you.
My family and my dearest friends.
No, cousin, don't say that.
You will soon recover.
My property is to be placed
under the guardianship...
of my brother and sister.
When Mila reaches marrying age,
let her be united to Zesay.
Let Zesay become the benevolent
new master of this house.
This is my last wish!
Best to let Daka have the property herself.
And we, if possible,
can step in to...
help her in times of need.
No.
As her closest relatives, we can't abandon
mother and daughters to their own fate.
We'll look after their properties and
possessions as Sherab ordered us.
That's Sherab's last will.
It is our duty to take charge.
The end of her father's journey,
mark the beginning of Mila's journey.
Through hardship, horror, and revenge.
Oh curses again!
- Never complain, Morin.
- Yes, but luck is -
Great luck is always picking
you around the corner.
- Corner? What corner?
- Not too long ago,
I was breaking my back in the fields.
And now, look at me here!
Sitting on your dead brother's shoulder.
I'm here to see Daka and my,
my little granddaughters.
Let me see them, huh?
An old man like you comes
to my house with such claims?
They're left under my guard.
They're none of your business anymore!
Shut up, old man
Alright...alright.
Go away! You've annoyed me enough!
Right!
Zesay, what are you doing here?
- Come and drink with us.
- No, thank you. I've come to see Mila.
Alright then, have it your way.
Go and see those wretches,
but be quick about it.
They've got work to do.
Zesay! Finally a visit!
Oh, it's so good to see you.
I brought you some bread.
Thank you!
Zesay, be quick about it!
They have work to finish.
I have to go.
I'll be back soon.
I cannot eat this.
It's full of worms.
- Mila, it's good.
- No, I'm not hungry right now.
The time has come for Mila
and Zesay to settle down.
So I ask you to return to us the
property that has been entrusted to you.
So that Mila regains possession of her
state,
according to her father's last wishes.
Where is this inheritance
you speak of, hmm?
When Sherab was alive,
he was full of debts.
He borrowed houses, fields,
sheeps, horses, gold and silver.
So, when did you ever own anything?
You should thank us for
not letting your starve!
You're lying and everyone knows it!
You've exploited my daughter
and granddaughters.
You've treated them like slaves!
It's true. You took away
all of Daka's possession.
Who would Mila marry?
Zesay was promised to my
first-born daughter, Manduha.
What?
What are you saying?
Your possessions...
We don't have them.
Fight us if you're strong enough!
-No!
-We couldn't care less!
You're nothing.
No! Traitor!
Get out!
I never want to see you again!
Never mind those beggars.
Come along, Zesay.
Never mind them...
There is no misery on
earth equal to ours.
We have become as
barren as these ashes.
My tears taste even more bitter.
No!
Don't tear yourself apart like this.
I will do everything you ask.
I only wish to watch you
flay the scalps of your
repulsive aunt and uncle.
But we're not strong enough for that.
I'll get our relatives to help us.
They hate uncle and aunt, too.
No.
Revenge will have to come another way.
How?
You will learn to cast curses.
To pull down hailstorms.
To destroy the fields of
those who have harmed us!
You know that's not possible.
I want their descendants to be
punished to the ninth generation!
Branch, trunk and root!
All of them gone!
Women are forbidden to learn magic.
My place is here.
With you and Peta.
For others, magic is a
pathway to greater happiness.
But for us, it will be the
low road to sweet revenge.
You're hopelessly. Listen to me.
If you come back here without first
destroying our enemies with your magic,
I, your poor mother,
blood of your blood,
will take my life before your very eyes.
This will be enough to
pay for your studies.
Be careful not to lose it.
Remember to keep your promise.
Come back soon.
And don't forget us.
I'm gonna miss you so much.
Stay away!
She has reached her first crossroads.
The choices are hers to make.
With all that happens
hanging in the balance.
Next.
- Your name?
- Zimoty.
Next.
- Your name?
- Ananda.
Next.
This is all I have.
It's okay.
Next.
Everything my family ever earned was lost.
Stolen, by the very people who
were supposed to protect us.
I ask for your benevolence and kindness
in offering me a power and
a magic that can reach my village.
What is your name?
- Mila.
- Mila.
I will take your request
in consideration.
Thank you.
Did I miss anything?
Today, you will die.
From your old life and
begin to learn a new one.
To connect your spirit with your body,
you must fight and overcome your limits.
Now take your seat. Two more.
Fight with all your strength.
Only you are the limit.
- Ready?
- Take your positions.
Breathe and anchor
your feet to the ground.
Don't forget to breathe,
breathing is the key.
Get up my friend.
Let's play!
Don't be such a grind.
Give it a rest.
Okay.
I'll give it a go.
- Three, two, one, go!
Go!
You're bleeding?
Oh wow. Did I hurt you in the fight?
No. It's nothing.
It's just an old cut that opens
up every now and then.
Nothing serious.
Oh! S-sorry.
I didn't realize anyone was in here.
I'll leave at once.
No, no, come inside.
Help me with these herbs.
What's it for?
An anesthetic to forget women.
What do you use these roses for?
Roses demand much time
and dedication to grow.
These are very rare.
When they begin to form,
they suddenly enter a near death spiral.
But soon after, the strongest among
them, blossom in their full glory.
And their petals serve to calm
hasty hearts and cure impatience.
Ehm...I'm sorry, I have to go.
Come and see me anytime.
How many disciples have come my way?
Hundreds, thousands.
Offering me tokens and gold.
But never were being
so earnest as Mila.
Never has anyone offered
me everything they owned.
And I'm sure of it.
Never will another like
that boy come along.
Each of them is unique, my dear.
But you're right. This boy
has something special.
You should teach him the True Science.
Breathing with your mind
and thinking with your lungs.
The Tummo technique allows one
to stand for hours naked without freezing.
Take off your shoes and
melt the snow at your feet.
No, no, I can't feel my feet anymore.
Quiet. Concentrate.
As you breathe, feel the
pulse of your veins.
Now, direct your breath and
blood to the tips of your feet.
No, no, it's impossible.
My feet, I can't feel them anymore.
It is possible, but you must believe.
Uh?
I'll try.
No, you won't try, you'll do it!
Obstacles are in your mind.
Uh?
Uh?
Yes...
Sound and symbols are powerful tools
to stabilize and stop useless thoughts.
This yantra will assist you
in focusing your mind
and ruling the forces of nature.
You must breathe together as one.
Let your heartbeat join his and then...
you will see through his eyes.
I can't get there.
- I don't feel it
- Patience. Leave your mind.
No.
You'll get there in time.
I mean, I can't just return home
with a head full of theory.
His mantras are useless.
They're enough for me.
Never underestimate the
power of scary words.
You know, the suggestions?
They really work.
Tonight, we're going to celebrate
the end of school.
Maybe you can join us!
The others?
Not coming anymore.
They changed their mind.
And they went to the village.
Looking for some fun.
- And you didn't wanna go with them?
- No.
I prefer to stay here.
Pretty good. Wanna taste?
Drink up.
Cheers to us.
And to going back home.
Why that sad look?
I'm not sure I want to go back home.
Why?
My mother's not who she used to be.
Now her whole life
is clouded by revenge.
Don't ask me why.
So you are a girl...
That's what I thought.
Don't tell anyone.
You have to be careful.
You keep it a secret and
no one will ever know.
You can count on me.
Mila! Don't leave me!
Mila! Don't abandon me!
Congratulations, Ananda.
Put all you have learned
here to good use.
Thanks, Master.
Congratulations.
Put all you have learned
here to good use.
Thanks, Master.
Congratulations, Zimoty.
Put all you have learned
here to good use.
Thank you!
Mila.
Where are you?
Mila!
Where are you?
If you want, you can come
to my village for a while.
No, I need to take care
of my mother first.
Then, we can go
together to your village.
And then you can come with me.
I haven't learned enough
yet to give up studying.
But the Lama says that
we're basically done.
I need to learn more. And better.
With his teachings alone,
I'll never get my revenge.
I feel good with what I've learned.
I wish I could say the same.
No, I have to stay.
I understand.
If you change your mind,
you know where to find me.
- Be safe.
- Thank you.
- And strong.
- Yeah, you too.
Master.. forgive me.
Stand up.
Master, I beg you.
There is something I must tell you.
Not to worry.
There will be time to talk.
I'm reassured by your
devotion and sincerity.
You are ready to start
your real training.
That cave there, along
the edge of the mountain.
Seal yourself inside with the stones.
No one must disturb you.
You are to meditate for seven days
and seven nights without food or water.
Your mind must not be distracted.
As you wish, Master.
All their descendants to be
punished to the ninth generation!
Branch, trunk and root!
All of them gone!
I will never betray you.
Come with me,
revenge will rot your soul.
Your father demands vengeance,
you must avenge him!
Fight us if you're strong enough.
You're nothing.
You are like animals,
with nothing of your own.
Come back soon. And don't forget us.
If you come back without
first destroying our enemies,
I will take my life
before your very eyes.
My daughter, today is a day
of fresh hopes and dreams.
May your life married to
Zesay be happy and fruitful.
As you can see,
he's very fond of you, Zesay.
Yes, I'm honored and pleased.
Congratulations!
It's blood!
Mama, mama!
Uncle Bayan's house has
collapsed and they're all dead.
Come and see,
it must have been Mila.
- Our home!
- What happened?
They're all dead!
- Everything collapsed!
- Our home!
- What happened?
- They burned out our home.
- It's her!
- Her!
She is responsible and now she wants more!
There are no limits to what she can do.
Mila! Mila! What a joy you
have brought to my eyes.
How happiness to my old age!
- I've waited!
- Go away, witch.
Children have died, respect our grief.
Get her! Get her!
To the gallows!
Where can we hide, Mama?
- Come on.
- Grandfather, help us!
Come out, witch!
Our fire is ready for you!
You'll burn alive for
what you have done!
Go away, old man!
Burn those witches!
Fools! You hurt my daughter
and Mila's revenge
will be even harsher!
He...he might be right.
Witch...
- Come out, Witch!
There's no stopping our revenge.
Maybe not now, but it will come.
Hurry before the witch
come after us too.
There's no point in
killing that crazy woman.
All this was her daughter's work!
Find Mila and kill her.
She killed my children,
my Manduha and my family.
I don't care if I die,
I'm gonna kill them all
right now, all of them!
You're the one who broke your word.
Underneath it all, this
catastrophe is your doing
and now you're not thinking.
You wanna kill Daka
before killing her daughter?
No, we won't let you.
First you'll have to deal with us.
Have it your way.
Move away!
Silence was better!
Because of your unnecessary words,
the people want to kill you
and your daughter with their own hands!
Still you're unsatisfied, are you?
Your heart craves even
more death and destruction!
I have my good reasons, father.
Have you forgotten how
they stole everything from us?
They treated us like slaves!
You stay locked up in here now.
Otherwise they'll kill you.
Thanks to my beloved husband
and your loving father,
I am able to write this letter
to you and you are able to read it.
And it is our secret.
But a merciless God tore
my only love from me.
He took everything.
But Sherab is with me.
He is my witness.
A letter for Mila.
Yes, it's me.
Thank you.
You must make sure
that his memory is respected.
Snuff out the enemies
that are still alive.
Do it for me and your sister.
Do it to honor the memory
of our beloved Sherab.
Luna, Luna, porkedda Luna.
Porkedda ispana, sette fun tan as.
Sette kilivros mandade mi los da-e
tesu a tesu no si ndoabbizet su Calaresu.
Luna, Luna, porkedda Luna.
Porkedda ispana, sette fun tan as.
Sette kilivros mandade mi los da-e
tesu a tesu no si ndoabbizet su Calaresu.
How will we live? We have nothing.
What did we do, grandma?
What happened?
The harvest is gone.
Not a grain is left,
all crushed and scattered.
If I see her, I'll rip out her
beating heart with my hands.
And I will eat it and
drink her blood.
There can be no other
way with that witch!
No, we can hire someone to kill her.
That witch won't stop until
we all have been wiped out.
This must be the place.
Careful, not a sound.
It's her!
Come any closer and
I will destroy you.
Bring any harm to my mother and sister,
and everything you know
and love will become a desert.
Don't think I can't do it.
For I can do worse.
Go! Away from here!
Go! Let's go!
Our mind is the enemy
to be defeated, not people.
Zesay!
Who are you?
I don't know you.
Don't come any closer.
It's - it's Mila.
Don't you recognize me?
No, Mila is sweet
and pure of heart.
You. ..You are sorceress.
- You killed me.
- No, I'm Mila. Look at me.
Leave me alone, witch. Go away.
Sit here, mama. I'll take care of it.
Our curse has come
down to us as well.
Mila...
Mila?
You leave without
an hello or goodbye?
Mama's revenge must have
poisoned your heart as well.
You've become like your enemies.
Dead inside.
Sister, I love you dearly.
And I always will.
But give up on this revenge.
You can still save yourself
and lead a normal life.
Come with me.
- We'll go together.
- No.
My place is here.
I've made my choice.
Now go.
Don't come back.
Too much suffering.
Revenge only brings pain upon
pain and leaves no way out.
I wish to renounce all revenge,
and I want to make amends
for what I have done.
My son,
you do well to renounce revenge,
and you are correct.
Pain only calls down more pain.
Sadly, I'm not the one
you are looking for
but I can help you find him.
Give these to your new guru.
Commit to him, heart and soul,
without sparing yourself.
The road you are about to take
will be much more difficult
than the one you
have followed till now.
To protect you from
evil thoughts, my dear.
Be careful.
Now go. And don't look back.
Against all odds and
defiant of her own doom,
she finally came to me.
Excuse me!
It's said that the
Lama Marpa lives here.
Do you know where his house is?
I will tell you.
But first, in return,
finish bowing this field for me.
So that I may rest.
Boy, that's enough.
Come here.
Drink, my boy.
- You've earned it.
- Thank you.
Do you see that house there?
- Before the hill?
- Yeah.
The person you are
looking for lives there.
Good luck.
I'll get you something
to eat right away.
Oh no, thank you.
I'm here to see the Lama.
I'll tell him you are here.
Meanwhile, come in.
Come.
It's true, you know me.
So go ahead and prostrate yourself.
I have committed many
dark and evil deeds.
Well, don't come to me
bragging about them.
Dark and evil, indeed...
No one made you do them.
Yes, and I'm here to offer you my mind,
my body and spirit.
I like the offer.
But I cannot provide you
with both food and education.
I've come to you, Lama, for Truth.
If I initiate you to the Truth,
much, if not all, will depend
on your energy and perseverance.
Wait a moment...
Get those scribbles out of here!
You will not infect my house
with the words of your curses!
These things are useless here.
Go away! You and your evil books.
Eat up, it's good.
And you look like you
could use a double portion.
You remind me of my mother,
when she was still happy.
She used to weave too.
Why did she stop weaving?
After my father died, she no
longer wanted to go near a frame.
Weaving can be like that.
And singing...
Singing can help shoo
away troubling thoughts.
And embroidery...
With embroidery, not only
can we forget our past,
but we can stitch our future.
It's a pity that your
mother didn't continue.
Yes.
Exactly that.
A pity.
I am afraid I was a bit
too harsh last night.
Do not take it badly.
Just be patient, and you
will get your education.
You seem particularly skilled.
I would like you to build a
house for my daughter, Doday.
As you wish, Master.
After you finish it,
she can finally come home.
And I will put you on the pathway to Truth.
And while I am at it,
I will also provide for all your needs.
A circular tower here, facing southwest.
The house must be built
with these stones here,
shielded from the winter winds.
As you wish, Master.
I'll do my best.
It should work.
I probably was not
thinking clearly the other day.
Demolish the tower, it does not fit here.
Put the stones back where they belong.
Here.
This is the right place.
- Northward, facing the lake.
- Are you okay?
The house must be
made of earth. Only earth.
Mud mixed with water,
to protect against the winter cold.
- Okay.
- And summer heat.
I'll do my best, Master.
No, this won't do either.
The location is wrong again.
Knock down the house,
then return the earth and
straw to where you found it.
I must have been drunk when
I told you to build this house.
This isn't working for anyone.
Building and tearing down
houses like this is...
is nothing but painful work for
me and a waste of time for you.
Not to mention your daughter
can't come home until the house is...
My daughter is no business of yours.
I'm not drunk today, and I've
been thinking it over carefully.
You asked me to build it like this,
and I followed your directions exactly.
Do you have any witnesses that
can confirm this libel of yours?
Demolish it at once.
Return all the materials to
where you found them.
Later I will provide you with
the instructions you desire.
Either that or be gone.
- What's going on, my son?
- Nothing.
- Let me have a look.
- No, it's nothing.
It's infected.
Pain must be terrible.
It's fine.
You stay here. Now rest up.
- I'll talk to my husband.
- No.
Please don't.
Your daughter's house,
I have to finish it.
Our daughter?
Come, let us walk.
Build a square house
here, next to this tree.
Again?
With the top floor an
ornamental terrace. All wood.
And make sure it's positioned to
catch the first rays of sun from the east.
I thought that...
Once you are done, I will provide you
with the teachings you require.
And you may stay and
meditate at the retreat,
with all the food and comfort you need.
Wouldn't it be better for your wife to
be here to witness all of these promises?
If you do not believe my words,
go ahead and call her.
Ok.
Doday...
My husband is a stubborn man.
And he rarely takes
my words into account.
But this house is for your daughter.
Our daughter, well...
If an arrogant disciple
questions their teacher,
fill their mouth with shit.
You be a witness as you've been asked,
and I will do as I promised.
Now you go and do
what you've been told.
Go!
Next!
Next!
Come in.
Great Wizard.
What is your initiation offer?
The house for your
daughter is what I offer you.
I trust you will keep your promise
and provide me with your wisdom.
I am ready now.
It is not for building a humble house
that you will receive
the wisdom of the ages.
I have painstakingly gathered this wisdom
under the skies of many lands.
If you have an offering
for your initiation, bring it!
Better yet, just go away.
Next!
If my husband doesn't consider building
a whole house sufficient as an offering,
then this time you'll be the one
to suggest something to him.
Offer him this turquoise
that belonged to my mother.
With this gift, he will
give you the teachings.
I'm sure of it.
Thank you.
This time, please...
Allow me the honor of
the initiation as well.
Where did you get this turquoise from?
From Damena.
Damena, come here. Now!
Where did you find this stone?
It doesn't belong to you.
It is my personal property.
And that is why, out of compassion,
I gave it to this son.
The cost of such foolishness!
This precious stone could have
ended up in the wrong hands forever!
You have the mind of a child!
If you belong to me, then this
turquoise belongs to me as well!
If you have possessions of
your own, bring them in,
and you will get your initiation.
This turquoise is already mine.
Now be gone from my
sight before I cane you.
I cast you out, but yet
you stand there!
What is this beast?
Away with you! Out of my house!
I'm surprised at you. How dare you?
How dare you violate me this way?
How dare you? Go! Go!
No matter what we do...
It seems that for now,
the Lama will not provide
you with his wisdom.
When I was committing
dark deeds, I could get anything.
Now that I'm on a path of
righteousness, I am powerless,
and I have no possessions.
But with nothing to offer,
the lama will not give me anything.
So maybe is best I just give up.
Put an end to this
pointless life of mine.
What else can I do?
The secret is patience.
Wait in good cheer.
And sooner or later,
he will agree to teach you.
Here, this is all I have.
Blessings and peace upon you.
Thank you, my niece.
My niece...
Forgive me for all the
harm I have done to you.
Your defiant enemy is
no longer here, he left.
- Are you satisfied?
- Who left?
Only on Mila have you inflicted punishments
that you would't inflict even
on the deadliest of enemies!
Do you want him to
end up like our daughter?
That is exactly what frightens me.
I don't want to repeat the
same mistake with Mila.
You are young.
Instead of begging,
you can recite the sacred texts.
If you cannot read, then offer
yourself to someone's service.
I 'am...I am begging now,
but I am not a beggar.
And I can read.
He was as poor as a dung beetle,
deprived of all goods and riches.
Yet, he thirsted for knowledge.
And so, though certain it
would bring him death,
he vowed to rip his heart out and
give it to his guru as a pledge.
And thanks to this
willingness to sacrifice himself,
not only did he not die,
but he was finally granted
the knowledge he yearned for.
I must return to Marpa.
Patience. I've to wait.
You've come at the right time...
The Lama will pass you his knowledge.
When I told him you
had left, he sobbed:
"Give me back my blessed son!"
And he stayed there crying all night.
No! You're saying this to console me.
Let's go to Marpa. He's waiting for you.
Great wizard.
Never waver in your aims.
Do not act like a little girl.
You must be willing to
give your very life for it.
Now go and add a porch
to that house I asked for.
Then your wishes will come true.
But if you doubt me, then I'm
only wasting good food on you.
You can go whenever you wish.
You are free.
I will not be like the man
who rips his heart out.
I have a great desire
to see my mother again.
If the Lama was to truly
offer me his teachings after
I finished the work on his house then,
I'd stay here and be happy.
But, porch or no porch,
he will only find another
reason not to give me anything.
My rosebud...
Master, Master hurry!
The house is burning!
Master, can we fetch some
water to put out the fire?
Let it burn.
It is only right for it to burn.
Let everything be consumed.
Your life begins now, my beloved Doday.
One day the fire will
bring you back to me.
Better just to end this
pointless life of mine.
I will never be like the man
who rips his heart out.
Mila, stop!
I don't have the courage.
What are you doing?
The master wants to
see you immediately.
I made you work hard at building
houses to cleanse you of your sins.
I had to bring you
close to the edge of
absolute despair again and again.
I repudiated you and chased you away.
But I can no longer go on this
way because I had already erred
with the flesh of my own flesh.
But by bringing down the house,
you sacrificed yourself.
You truly gave me your
body, soul and spirit.
I have always believed
in you, my rosebud.
Your nature has always been clear to me.
Since the first day I met you
when you were a little girl.
You've come up to me, my daughter.
This is the place where you
must cast your devils behind you.
It's your last chance to
overcome your guilt and be free.
This time use your true nature,
the strength that comes
from being a woman.
A warrior.
Now it's up to you.
I deserve it.
This is the end I deserve.
In my youth, I committed
many black deeds of evil.
And in my maturity, many white deeds.
But now...
I have rejected any distinction
between black and white.
In the male year of the Sea Dragon,
first month of autumn,
25th day, I was born for the first time,
under a favorable star and
already immersed in a life
of ease and abundance.
Today, in the third
month of spring, 24th day...
in an abandoned mountain
cave bereft of food and
without a possession to my name...
I am born again to eternal life...
Overcoming pain and death.

Claudio Pofi
In a world destroyed by war
and fallen into ignorance,
I wander like a stray dog
in search of a better place.
A journey holding little or no promise.
Your supplies! Dog!
Where are they? Beggar!
Where are they? Uh?
Die! You bastard rat!
And the gold.
Out with the gold, you dog!
We'll take it all!
Even the rags.
Everything, he must die!
Nothing!
Nothing, nothing worthy!
Beggar!
Nothing worth anything!
We're losing our time
with this beggar!
You will not need anything anymore!
This is how it was
supposed to end.
What I deserved.
In my younger days,
I had wrought much evil.
And in my maturity, much good.
But now, I have rejected all
considerations of good and evil.
Black and white.
I was born under a favorable star,
in the male year of the Sea Dragon,
First month of autumn, 25th day.
And mine was a life of
ease and abundance.
My Signora!
May I put the flowers
in the master's study?
Of course my dear.
Sherab loves flowers.
He will be pleased.
- Zesay, try and catch me!
- I'll eat you, Mila!
- I'll catch you!
- You can't get me, monster!
You've got to get me first!
Mila, you shouldn't be here.
Your father has work to do.
No, not to worry, Daka. I'm done.
As you wish.
Come, little one.
I always have time for you.
Look.
- It's rare, like you. My rosebud.
- Beautiful.
- Our secret.
- Yeah.
I'm looking for a
place to stay tonight.
Our home is blessed to have you.
- Join us for dinner.
- God blees you.
Come in.
Where are you headed?
Over the mountains.
To cast out a demon that has been
haunting a poor family's home.
- How is that done?
- Demons are impressionable
little creatures.
And almost always afraid of magic.
You're a magician?
- Can you show us some magic?
- Mila.
It's not polite to make
demands upon a guest.
Oh, not to worry. It's the least I can
do to honor your generous hospitality.
Now look out the window.
Your enemies must be
terribly afraid of you.
Your enemies come from your mind.
To control them, you must
learn to control your mind.
The time will come when
you will understand that.
- "Sh-ships, will come across -"
- Yeah.
- "A huge thing -"
-Hmm...
"on the high seas -"
- "a l-long, fu-si-fo-fusiform.
- "S-sometimes -"
- Time to sleep.
- No, I wanna stay here!
- No, do as your mama says.
We'll carry on tomorrow. I promise.
Uh?
All right.
You know that women aren't
allowed to be educated.
A dangerous game.
I have to leave and
be gone a few weeks.
An important transaction
across the desert.
That's too dangerous!
Too many robbing
marauders these days.
- Can't you send someone else?
- I'll bring some cousins along.
We'll be safe.
Don't worry. Come.
Come.
Come here. Come here, honey.
I will start preparations
for your journey.
Okay. Okay.
If you're leaving again,
I wanna come with you.
No, not possible.
The journey is too long.
But I promise to be back
in time for your birthday.
And with a special gift for my rosebud.
Come on, come on.
No, no, no, no, no...
My little rosebud.
- Petal! Look how nice it is!
- Do you like it?
- Well done, yes!
- Good, Petal
- A letter for the mistress of the house.
- Thank you.
A letter.
Speak to me, Sherab!
Say something my love!
Water!
Water! Hurry up!
He's burning with fever!
You need to get better.
We need you.
Your daughters need you.
No my sweet, you can't go in.
Papa needs to rest.
Mila, my love. Come.
This fever will not let me go.
Mila is still young.
So I place my holdings under
the protection of all of you.
My family and my dearest friends.
No, cousin, don't say that.
You will soon recover.
My property is to be placed
under the guardianship...
of my brother and sister.
When Mila reaches marrying age,
let her be united to Zesay.
Let Zesay become the benevolent
new master of this house.
This is my last wish!
Best to let Daka have the property herself.
And we, if possible,
can step in to...
help her in times of need.
No.
As her closest relatives, we can't abandon
mother and daughters to their own fate.
We'll look after their properties and
possessions as Sherab ordered us.
That's Sherab's last will.
It is our duty to take charge.
The end of her father's journey,
mark the beginning of Mila's journey.
Through hardship, horror, and revenge.
Oh curses again!
- Never complain, Morin.
- Yes, but luck is -
Great luck is always picking
you around the corner.
- Corner? What corner?
- Not too long ago,
I was breaking my back in the fields.
And now, look at me here!
Sitting on your dead brother's shoulder.
I'm here to see Daka and my,
my little granddaughters.
Let me see them, huh?
An old man like you comes
to my house with such claims?
They're left under my guard.
They're none of your business anymore!
Shut up, old man
Alright...alright.
Go away! You've annoyed me enough!
Right!
Zesay, what are you doing here?
- Come and drink with us.
- No, thank you. I've come to see Mila.
Alright then, have it your way.
Go and see those wretches,
but be quick about it.
They've got work to do.
Zesay! Finally a visit!
Oh, it's so good to see you.
I brought you some bread.
Thank you!
Zesay, be quick about it!
They have work to finish.
I have to go.
I'll be back soon.
I cannot eat this.
It's full of worms.
- Mila, it's good.
- No, I'm not hungry right now.
The time has come for Mila
and Zesay to settle down.
So I ask you to return to us the
property that has been entrusted to you.
So that Mila regains possession of her
state,
according to her father's last wishes.
Where is this inheritance
you speak of, hmm?
When Sherab was alive,
he was full of debts.
He borrowed houses, fields,
sheeps, horses, gold and silver.
So, when did you ever own anything?
You should thank us for
not letting your starve!
You're lying and everyone knows it!
You've exploited my daughter
and granddaughters.
You've treated them like slaves!
It's true. You took away
all of Daka's possession.
Who would Mila marry?
Zesay was promised to my
first-born daughter, Manduha.
What?
What are you saying?
Your possessions...
We don't have them.
Fight us if you're strong enough!
-No!
-We couldn't care less!
You're nothing.
No! Traitor!
Get out!
I never want to see you again!
Never mind those beggars.
Come along, Zesay.
Never mind them...
There is no misery on
earth equal to ours.
We have become as
barren as these ashes.
My tears taste even more bitter.
No!
Don't tear yourself apart like this.
I will do everything you ask.
I only wish to watch you
flay the scalps of your
repulsive aunt and uncle.
But we're not strong enough for that.
I'll get our relatives to help us.
They hate uncle and aunt, too.
No.
Revenge will have to come another way.
How?
You will learn to cast curses.
To pull down hailstorms.
To destroy the fields of
those who have harmed us!
You know that's not possible.
I want their descendants to be
punished to the ninth generation!
Branch, trunk and root!
All of them gone!
Women are forbidden to learn magic.
My place is here.
With you and Peta.
For others, magic is a
pathway to greater happiness.
But for us, it will be the
low road to sweet revenge.
You're hopelessly. Listen to me.
If you come back here without first
destroying our enemies with your magic,
I, your poor mother,
blood of your blood,
will take my life before your very eyes.
This will be enough to
pay for your studies.
Be careful not to lose it.
Remember to keep your promise.
Come back soon.
And don't forget us.
I'm gonna miss you so much.
Stay away!
She has reached her first crossroads.
The choices are hers to make.
With all that happens
hanging in the balance.
Next.
- Your name?
- Zimoty.
Next.
- Your name?
- Ananda.
Next.
This is all I have.
It's okay.
Next.
Everything my family ever earned was lost.
Stolen, by the very people who
were supposed to protect us.
I ask for your benevolence and kindness
in offering me a power and
a magic that can reach my village.
What is your name?
- Mila.
- Mila.
I will take your request
in consideration.
Thank you.
Did I miss anything?
Today, you will die.
From your old life and
begin to learn a new one.
To connect your spirit with your body,
you must fight and overcome your limits.
Now take your seat. Two more.
Fight with all your strength.
Only you are the limit.
- Ready?
- Take your positions.
Breathe and anchor
your feet to the ground.
Don't forget to breathe,
breathing is the key.
Get up my friend.
Let's play!
Don't be such a grind.
Give it a rest.
Okay.
I'll give it a go.
- Three, two, one, go!
Go!
You're bleeding?
Oh wow. Did I hurt you in the fight?
No. It's nothing.
It's just an old cut that opens
up every now and then.
Nothing serious.
Oh! S-sorry.
I didn't realize anyone was in here.
I'll leave at once.
No, no, come inside.
Help me with these herbs.
What's it for?
An anesthetic to forget women.
What do you use these roses for?
Roses demand much time
and dedication to grow.
These are very rare.
When they begin to form,
they suddenly enter a near death spiral.
But soon after, the strongest among
them, blossom in their full glory.
And their petals serve to calm
hasty hearts and cure impatience.
Ehm...I'm sorry, I have to go.
Come and see me anytime.
How many disciples have come my way?
Hundreds, thousands.
Offering me tokens and gold.
But never were being
so earnest as Mila.
Never has anyone offered
me everything they owned.
And I'm sure of it.
Never will another like
that boy come along.
Each of them is unique, my dear.
But you're right. This boy
has something special.
You should teach him the True Science.
Breathing with your mind
and thinking with your lungs.
The Tummo technique allows one
to stand for hours naked without freezing.
Take off your shoes and
melt the snow at your feet.
No, no, I can't feel my feet anymore.
Quiet. Concentrate.
As you breathe, feel the
pulse of your veins.
Now, direct your breath and
blood to the tips of your feet.
No, no, it's impossible.
My feet, I can't feel them anymore.
It is possible, but you must believe.
Uh?
I'll try.
No, you won't try, you'll do it!
Obstacles are in your mind.
Uh?
Uh?
Yes...
Sound and symbols are powerful tools
to stabilize and stop useless thoughts.
This yantra will assist you
in focusing your mind
and ruling the forces of nature.
You must breathe together as one.
Let your heartbeat join his and then...
you will see through his eyes.
I can't get there.
- I don't feel it
- Patience. Leave your mind.
No.
You'll get there in time.
I mean, I can't just return home
with a head full of theory.
His mantras are useless.
They're enough for me.
Never underestimate the
power of scary words.
You know, the suggestions?
They really work.
Tonight, we're going to celebrate
the end of school.
Maybe you can join us!
The others?
Not coming anymore.
They changed their mind.
And they went to the village.
Looking for some fun.
- And you didn't wanna go with them?
- No.
I prefer to stay here.
Pretty good. Wanna taste?
Drink up.
Cheers to us.
And to going back home.
Why that sad look?
I'm not sure I want to go back home.
Why?
My mother's not who she used to be.
Now her whole life
is clouded by revenge.
Don't ask me why.
So you are a girl...
That's what I thought.
Don't tell anyone.
You have to be careful.
You keep it a secret and
no one will ever know.
You can count on me.
Mila! Don't leave me!
Mila! Don't abandon me!
Congratulations, Ananda.
Put all you have learned
here to good use.
Thanks, Master.
Congratulations.
Put all you have learned
here to good use.
Thanks, Master.
Congratulations, Zimoty.
Put all you have learned
here to good use.
Thank you!
Mila.
Where are you?
Mila!
Where are you?
If you want, you can come
to my village for a while.
No, I need to take care
of my mother first.
Then, we can go
together to your village.
And then you can come with me.
I haven't learned enough
yet to give up studying.
But the Lama says that
we're basically done.
I need to learn more. And better.
With his teachings alone,
I'll never get my revenge.
I feel good with what I've learned.
I wish I could say the same.
No, I have to stay.
I understand.
If you change your mind,
you know where to find me.
- Be safe.
- Thank you.
- And strong.
- Yeah, you too.
Master.. forgive me.
Stand up.
Master, I beg you.
There is something I must tell you.
Not to worry.
There will be time to talk.
I'm reassured by your
devotion and sincerity.
You are ready to start
your real training.
That cave there, along
the edge of the mountain.
Seal yourself inside with the stones.
No one must disturb you.
You are to meditate for seven days
and seven nights without food or water.
Your mind must not be distracted.
As you wish, Master.
All their descendants to be
punished to the ninth generation!
Branch, trunk and root!
All of them gone!
I will never betray you.
Come with me,
revenge will rot your soul.
Your father demands vengeance,
you must avenge him!
Fight us if you're strong enough.
You're nothing.
You are like animals,
with nothing of your own.
Come back soon. And don't forget us.
If you come back without
first destroying our enemies,
I will take my life
before your very eyes.
My daughter, today is a day
of fresh hopes and dreams.
May your life married to
Zesay be happy and fruitful.
As you can see,
he's very fond of you, Zesay.
Yes, I'm honored and pleased.
Congratulations!
It's blood!
Mama, mama!
Uncle Bayan's house has
collapsed and they're all dead.
Come and see,
it must have been Mila.
- Our home!
- What happened?
They're all dead!
- Everything collapsed!
- Our home!
- What happened?
- They burned out our home.
- It's her!
- Her!
She is responsible and now she wants more!
There are no limits to what she can do.
Mila! Mila! What a joy you
have brought to my eyes.
How happiness to my old age!
- I've waited!
- Go away, witch.
Children have died, respect our grief.
Get her! Get her!
To the gallows!
Where can we hide, Mama?
- Come on.
- Grandfather, help us!
Come out, witch!
Our fire is ready for you!
You'll burn alive for
what you have done!
Go away, old man!
Burn those witches!
Fools! You hurt my daughter
and Mila's revenge
will be even harsher!
He...he might be right.
Witch...
- Come out, Witch!
There's no stopping our revenge.
Maybe not now, but it will come.
Hurry before the witch
come after us too.
There's no point in
killing that crazy woman.
All this was her daughter's work!
Find Mila and kill her.
She killed my children,
my Manduha and my family.
I don't care if I die,
I'm gonna kill them all
right now, all of them!
You're the one who broke your word.
Underneath it all, this
catastrophe is your doing
and now you're not thinking.
You wanna kill Daka
before killing her daughter?
No, we won't let you.
First you'll have to deal with us.
Have it your way.
Move away!
Silence was better!
Because of your unnecessary words,
the people want to kill you
and your daughter with their own hands!
Still you're unsatisfied, are you?
Your heart craves even
more death and destruction!
I have my good reasons, father.
Have you forgotten how
they stole everything from us?
They treated us like slaves!
You stay locked up in here now.
Otherwise they'll kill you.
Thanks to my beloved husband
and your loving father,
I am able to write this letter
to you and you are able to read it.
And it is our secret.
But a merciless God tore
my only love from me.
He took everything.
But Sherab is with me.
He is my witness.
A letter for Mila.
Yes, it's me.
Thank you.
You must make sure
that his memory is respected.
Snuff out the enemies
that are still alive.
Do it for me and your sister.
Do it to honor the memory
of our beloved Sherab.
Luna, Luna, porkedda Luna.
Porkedda ispana, sette fun tan as.
Sette kilivros mandade mi los da-e
tesu a tesu no si ndoabbizet su Calaresu.
Luna, Luna, porkedda Luna.
Porkedda ispana, sette fun tan as.
Sette kilivros mandade mi los da-e
tesu a tesu no si ndoabbizet su Calaresu.
How will we live? We have nothing.
What did we do, grandma?
What happened?
The harvest is gone.
Not a grain is left,
all crushed and scattered.
If I see her, I'll rip out her
beating heart with my hands.
And I will eat it and
drink her blood.
There can be no other
way with that witch!
No, we can hire someone to kill her.
That witch won't stop until
we all have been wiped out.
This must be the place.
Careful, not a sound.
It's her!
Come any closer and
I will destroy you.
Bring any harm to my mother and sister,
and everything you know
and love will become a desert.
Don't think I can't do it.
For I can do worse.
Go! Away from here!
Go! Let's go!
Our mind is the enemy
to be defeated, not people.
Zesay!
Who are you?
I don't know you.
Don't come any closer.
It's - it's Mila.
Don't you recognize me?
No, Mila is sweet
and pure of heart.
You. ..You are sorceress.
- You killed me.
- No, I'm Mila. Look at me.
Leave me alone, witch. Go away.
Sit here, mama. I'll take care of it.
Our curse has come
down to us as well.
Mila...
Mila?
You leave without
an hello or goodbye?
Mama's revenge must have
poisoned your heart as well.
You've become like your enemies.
Dead inside.
Sister, I love you dearly.
And I always will.
But give up on this revenge.
You can still save yourself
and lead a normal life.
Come with me.
- We'll go together.
- No.
My place is here.
I've made my choice.
Now go.
Don't come back.
Too much suffering.
Revenge only brings pain upon
pain and leaves no way out.
I wish to renounce all revenge,
and I want to make amends
for what I have done.
My son,
you do well to renounce revenge,
and you are correct.
Pain only calls down more pain.
Sadly, I'm not the one
you are looking for
but I can help you find him.
Give these to your new guru.
Commit to him, heart and soul,
without sparing yourself.
The road you are about to take
will be much more difficult
than the one you
have followed till now.
To protect you from
evil thoughts, my dear.
Be careful.
Now go. And don't look back.
Against all odds and
defiant of her own doom,
she finally came to me.
Excuse me!
It's said that the
Lama Marpa lives here.
Do you know where his house is?
I will tell you.
But first, in return,
finish bowing this field for me.
So that I may rest.
Boy, that's enough.
Come here.
Drink, my boy.
- You've earned it.
- Thank you.
Do you see that house there?
- Before the hill?
- Yeah.
The person you are
looking for lives there.
Good luck.
I'll get you something
to eat right away.
Oh no, thank you.
I'm here to see the Lama.
I'll tell him you are here.
Meanwhile, come in.
Come.
It's true, you know me.
So go ahead and prostrate yourself.
I have committed many
dark and evil deeds.
Well, don't come to me
bragging about them.
Dark and evil, indeed...
No one made you do them.
Yes, and I'm here to offer you my mind,
my body and spirit.
I like the offer.
But I cannot provide you
with both food and education.
I've come to you, Lama, for Truth.
If I initiate you to the Truth,
much, if not all, will depend
on your energy and perseverance.
Wait a moment...
Get those scribbles out of here!
You will not infect my house
with the words of your curses!
These things are useless here.
Go away! You and your evil books.
Eat up, it's good.
And you look like you
could use a double portion.
You remind me of my mother,
when she was still happy.
She used to weave too.
Why did she stop weaving?
After my father died, she no
longer wanted to go near a frame.
Weaving can be like that.
And singing...
Singing can help shoo
away troubling thoughts.
And embroidery...
With embroidery, not only
can we forget our past,
but we can stitch our future.
It's a pity that your
mother didn't continue.
Yes.
Exactly that.
A pity.
I am afraid I was a bit
too harsh last night.
Do not take it badly.
Just be patient, and you
will get your education.
You seem particularly skilled.
I would like you to build a
house for my daughter, Doday.
As you wish, Master.
After you finish it,
she can finally come home.
And I will put you on the pathway to Truth.
And while I am at it,
I will also provide for all your needs.
A circular tower here, facing southwest.
The house must be built
with these stones here,
shielded from the winter winds.
As you wish, Master.
I'll do my best.
It should work.
I probably was not
thinking clearly the other day.
Demolish the tower, it does not fit here.
Put the stones back where they belong.
Here.
This is the right place.
- Northward, facing the lake.
- Are you okay?
The house must be
made of earth. Only earth.
Mud mixed with water,
to protect against the winter cold.
- Okay.
- And summer heat.
I'll do my best, Master.
No, this won't do either.
The location is wrong again.
Knock down the house,
then return the earth and
straw to where you found it.
I must have been drunk when
I told you to build this house.
This isn't working for anyone.
Building and tearing down
houses like this is...
is nothing but painful work for
me and a waste of time for you.
Not to mention your daughter
can't come home until the house is...
My daughter is no business of yours.
I'm not drunk today, and I've
been thinking it over carefully.
You asked me to build it like this,
and I followed your directions exactly.
Do you have any witnesses that
can confirm this libel of yours?
Demolish it at once.
Return all the materials to
where you found them.
Later I will provide you with
the instructions you desire.
Either that or be gone.
- What's going on, my son?
- Nothing.
- Let me have a look.
- No, it's nothing.
It's infected.
Pain must be terrible.
It's fine.
You stay here. Now rest up.
- I'll talk to my husband.
- No.
Please don't.
Your daughter's house,
I have to finish it.
Our daughter?
Come, let us walk.
Build a square house
here, next to this tree.
Again?
With the top floor an
ornamental terrace. All wood.
And make sure it's positioned to
catch the first rays of sun from the east.
I thought that...
Once you are done, I will provide you
with the teachings you require.
And you may stay and
meditate at the retreat,
with all the food and comfort you need.
Wouldn't it be better for your wife to
be here to witness all of these promises?
If you do not believe my words,
go ahead and call her.
Ok.
Doday...
My husband is a stubborn man.
And he rarely takes
my words into account.
But this house is for your daughter.
Our daughter, well...
If an arrogant disciple
questions their teacher,
fill their mouth with shit.
You be a witness as you've been asked,
and I will do as I promised.
Now you go and do
what you've been told.
Go!
Next!
Next!
Come in.
Great Wizard.
What is your initiation offer?
The house for your
daughter is what I offer you.
I trust you will keep your promise
and provide me with your wisdom.
I am ready now.
It is not for building a humble house
that you will receive
the wisdom of the ages.
I have painstakingly gathered this wisdom
under the skies of many lands.
If you have an offering
for your initiation, bring it!
Better yet, just go away.
Next!
If my husband doesn't consider building
a whole house sufficient as an offering,
then this time you'll be the one
to suggest something to him.
Offer him this turquoise
that belonged to my mother.
With this gift, he will
give you the teachings.
I'm sure of it.
Thank you.
This time, please...
Allow me the honor of
the initiation as well.
Where did you get this turquoise from?
From Damena.
Damena, come here. Now!
Where did you find this stone?
It doesn't belong to you.
It is my personal property.
And that is why, out of compassion,
I gave it to this son.
The cost of such foolishness!
This precious stone could have
ended up in the wrong hands forever!
You have the mind of a child!
If you belong to me, then this
turquoise belongs to me as well!
If you have possessions of
your own, bring them in,
and you will get your initiation.
This turquoise is already mine.
Now be gone from my
sight before I cane you.
I cast you out, but yet
you stand there!
What is this beast?
Away with you! Out of my house!
I'm surprised at you. How dare you?
How dare you violate me this way?
How dare you? Go! Go!
No matter what we do...
It seems that for now,
the Lama will not provide
you with his wisdom.
When I was committing
dark deeds, I could get anything.
Now that I'm on a path of
righteousness, I am powerless,
and I have no possessions.
But with nothing to offer,
the lama will not give me anything.
So maybe is best I just give up.
Put an end to this
pointless life of mine.
What else can I do?
The secret is patience.
Wait in good cheer.
And sooner or later,
he will agree to teach you.
Here, this is all I have.
Blessings and peace upon you.
Thank you, my niece.
My niece...
Forgive me for all the
harm I have done to you.
Your defiant enemy is
no longer here, he left.
- Are you satisfied?
- Who left?
Only on Mila have you inflicted punishments
that you would't inflict even
on the deadliest of enemies!
Do you want him to
end up like our daughter?
That is exactly what frightens me.
I don't want to repeat the
same mistake with Mila.
You are young.
Instead of begging,
you can recite the sacred texts.
If you cannot read, then offer
yourself to someone's service.
I 'am...I am begging now,
but I am not a beggar.
And I can read.
He was as poor as a dung beetle,
deprived of all goods and riches.
Yet, he thirsted for knowledge.
And so, though certain it
would bring him death,
he vowed to rip his heart out and
give it to his guru as a pledge.
And thanks to this
willingness to sacrifice himself,
not only did he not die,
but he was finally granted
the knowledge he yearned for.
I must return to Marpa.
Patience. I've to wait.
You've come at the right time...
The Lama will pass you his knowledge.
When I told him you
had left, he sobbed:
"Give me back my blessed son!"
And he stayed there crying all night.
No! You're saying this to console me.
Let's go to Marpa. He's waiting for you.
Great wizard.
Never waver in your aims.
Do not act like a little girl.
You must be willing to
give your very life for it.
Now go and add a porch
to that house I asked for.
Then your wishes will come true.
But if you doubt me, then I'm
only wasting good food on you.
You can go whenever you wish.
You are free.
I will not be like the man
who rips his heart out.
I have a great desire
to see my mother again.
If the Lama was to truly
offer me his teachings after
I finished the work on his house then,
I'd stay here and be happy.
But, porch or no porch,
he will only find another
reason not to give me anything.
My rosebud...
Master, Master hurry!
The house is burning!
Master, can we fetch some
water to put out the fire?
Let it burn.
It is only right for it to burn.
Let everything be consumed.
Your life begins now, my beloved Doday.
One day the fire will
bring you back to me.
Better just to end this
pointless life of mine.
I will never be like the man
who rips his heart out.
Mila, stop!
I don't have the courage.
What are you doing?
The master wants to
see you immediately.
I made you work hard at building
houses to cleanse you of your sins.
I had to bring you
close to the edge of
absolute despair again and again.
I repudiated you and chased you away.
But I can no longer go on this
way because I had already erred
with the flesh of my own flesh.
But by bringing down the house,
you sacrificed yourself.
You truly gave me your
body, soul and spirit.
I have always believed
in you, my rosebud.
Your nature has always been clear to me.
Since the first day I met you
when you were a little girl.
You've come up to me, my daughter.
This is the place where you
must cast your devils behind you.
It's your last chance to
overcome your guilt and be free.
This time use your true nature,
the strength that comes
from being a woman.
A warrior.
Now it's up to you.
I deserve it.
This is the end I deserve.
In my youth, I committed
many black deeds of evil.
And in my maturity, many white deeds.
But now...
I have rejected any distinction
between black and white.
In the male year of the Sea Dragon,
first month of autumn,
25th day, I was born for the first time,
under a favorable star and
already immersed in a life
of ease and abundance.
Today, in the third
month of spring, 24th day...
in an abandoned mountain
cave bereft of food and
without a possession to my name...
I am born again to eternal life...
Overcoming pain and death.
