Tian Xiaolei: Buddha told us in the Scriptures that when people die, their spirit never dies, it pours forth from the seven orifices and drifts, seeking an object for reincarnation. Therefore, death is the beginning, not the end. Everyone has his original temperament. Everyone is Buddha, but they have just lost their home. Buddha itself is one with the universe, it is "empty". This is a perceptual animated sketch. I just try to use the vocabulary of animation to express my opinions on death, spirituality and the relationship between the Buddha and the people.
