Na antalikkhe ne samuddamajjhe – na pabbatanam vivaram pavissa
Na vijjathi so jagatippadeso – yatthatthito munceyya papakamma
Not in the sky, nor in mid – ocean, nor in a mountain cleft is there a place in the whole world where abiding one ay escape from the result of one’s evil deeds.
(Dhammapada ¬ Verse 128)
The base of this story is adopted from Dammapada ¬ Verse 128.
Kamma is Inescapable
KING SUPPABUDDHA was indeed not an admirer of the
Buddha. He had not forgotten how the Buddha, while
he was still a prince, had abandoned his beloved daughter
Yasodhara for the renunciant’s life.
One day, knowing that the Buddha and his disciples
would be entering the city for almsfood, the king got drunk,
and the wine in his veins made him brave enough to go and
block the Buddha’s way. He would not let the Buddha pass,
saying that he, the king, could not make way for someone
younger than he was. Not protesting, the Buddha and his
disciples turned back. King Suppabuddha then ordered one
of his men to spy on the Buddha and report back to him
whatever the Buddha said.
Once back at their monastery, the Buddha said to
Ananda, “The king has created bad kamma by blocking
the way of the Buddha and soon he will have to pay for it.”
This was reported to the king who became determined
to prove that the Buddha didn’t know what he was talking
about. He commanded all of his attendants and guards to
be extra vigilant in protecting him, while he himself would
take special precautions.
The news of the king’s increased efforts to protect himself
from harm reached the monastery where the Buddha
was staying. The Buddha said that it didn’t matter whether
the king lived in a tower, in the sky, in an ocean, or in a cave, because he couldn’t escape the result of his kamma.
Nobody could.
Several days after the road incident, the king was sitting
in his room when he heard his favorite horse neighing and
kicking about wildly. He became so worried that he immediately
went to see what the matter was, forgetting what
the Buddha had predicted for him. As he rushed out of his
room, he tripped and fell down some stairs and died. When
he was reborn, he was reborn in hell. So no matter how hard
he tried, the foolish king was unable to escape the effects of
his evil kamma. That is how the law of kamma works.
Not in the sky, nor in the middle of the ocean,
nor in the cave of a mountain, nor anywhere
else, is there a place where one cannot be
overcome by Death.
I made this cartoon out of this story from Dhammapada , did some slight changes as I wanted without damaging the core of the story .
Technically speaking , this project was not easy for me , coz i worked out all the animations from my laptop the backgrounds are made from 3D Max , as well as digital painting & composting . The king's palace is based on Durbar square - Katmandu Nepal.
The characters are hand drawn and painted digitally from Adobe Photoshop and animated from Adobe After effects . Rendering took such long time as some rendering took 6 hours time for one min. video lengths .... I couldn't see a real time play back before rendering
Anyhow I'm happy to finish this project in this way .
enjoy the video and n don't forget to comment guys ................
