Will Bai Su Zhen, the white snake demon, and her love, Xu Xian, ever be free of the meddling monk? (Part Two of the myth of the white snake).
--
Xu Xian had just received an invitation to the opening ceremony of a new temple. His wife, Bai Su Zhen, warned him not to attend, but Xu Xian, a devout Buddhist, felt obligated to make an appearance. What they didn’t know was that these invitations had come from Fa Hai, the monk determined to separate them. Can the young lovers ever escape the monk’s meddling? Shunan Teng shares this Chinese myth.
Lesson by Shunan Teng, directed by Kino Bino.

I thought the moral of the story was no matter how humble your background is (like a snake) if you choose to be good and do good deeds, good things will happen to you. Same if you're from a highly respected background (the monk) but have bad intentions and harm other people, you won't be blessed or succeed in life. Oh and "love conquer all".

@171QA 2 года назад

Fun fact: In some retellings that meddlesome monk was secretly a crab demon that was jealous of the white snake’s immortality and was only pretending to be a monk to get back at her. Once his deception was found out he reverted back to a crab and since then crab meat has always been orange on the inside because it matched the color of Buddhist Monk robes.

@@hunterowl1756 it makes perfect sense if you understand Buddhism, the concept of karma, reincarnation, nirvana and all that. It basically says all living things if they improve themselves and do good, they can have good karma, and be enlighten to the point they can transcend their limitations (even physical form). Like, the concept of "God" in Asian culture is different than in western cultures, God is within us, not above us, we can all be God (your higher self) .

Thanks Ted Ed for covering this tale. I'm Chinese who grew up overseas.
