This passage is a transcript of a lecture by Venerable Bennie from the Australian Buddhist Practice Association, translated into Vietnamese by Chon Ngo. The lecture revolves around a detailed analysis of the film “Eternity,” using its characters and plot to illustrate profound Buddhist teachings. The dialogues between the Master and his disciples explore human nature, karmic obstructions, the process of habituation and accumulation, and the importance of establishing credibility (**lập tín**). The lecture emphasizes that the stories in the film reflect the reality of life and our internal struggles, while also clarifying that the purpose of great compassion is to guide sentient beings out of suffering, not to drown along with them.
