with English subtitles subtitles: In 420 AD, Liu Yu established the Liu Song Dynasty in the south. After several generations, the empire was passed down to Liu Jun, who was only 24 when he ascended the throne. His uncle, Liu Yixuan, was appointed Prime Minister for his meritorious support, and held the power of the imperial government. So he became domineering and began to have the idea of rebellion. Well, all plans are in place. Every general gets ready to follow me in an attack on the capital. After this is accomplished, I will become the emperor, and everyone will be a founding father, enjoying unlimited glory and wealth. Yes. By the way, arrange a carriage, I'm going to the temple. What? For such a big deal, of course I'm going to pray for Buddha's blessing. I knew an eminent monk of great virtue, named Gunabhadra. He often has inconceivable inspiration. If he prays to the Buddha, I'm surely to accomplish my wish. If so, wouldn’t the world be in the palm of your hand? I am willing to escort you to the temple. Hum, with the blessings of Buddha, I will definitely be able to ascend the throne of the emperor. Liu Jun is unkind and the people suffer. I've decided to revolt against him. May the Master pray for Buddha's blessing for our army to successfully capture castles. Once completed, I will spare no effort to build you a magnificent temple and ensure incessant offering each year. 2:00 Your Majesty, what you said is not right. As soon as the king ascended to the throne, he has promised to benefit people of the country, restore rituals and music, respect Confucius and Buddha, and reform the tax system, It makes the country develop and the people prosperous. Since you have faith in Buddhism, you should naturally have compassion and focus on assisting the king in governing the country. Don't be delusional, or you'll be in big trouble. What do you mean by that? So you don't want to help me? I hope you ponder it. I will not help those who rashly start a war. You. Hum. Since you came to my country, I respect you, give you a lot of offering, and I worship Buddha devoutly. Now I have requirements for Buddha. Why don't you help me? Thus, it's useless that I make offering to you and other monks. That's fine. Even if you don't help me, I've been offering incense to Buddha for a few years, and he will definitely bless me with success. Amitabha, over the years, wars never stop, and people are starving. Today, the country has just settled down. How can you have evil thoughts and bring pain to people? No matter how many offerings you made to the Three Jewels, you can't relieve such a tremendous sin. I advise you to put down your delusions and be kindhearted. If so, people will be blessed, and all beings will be blessed. If you insist on doing this regardless of my advice, you will be doomed. Hum, don't tell me these cliche. I have made up my mind to launch an attack in the next few days. You will follow me into battle. I want you to see me level the capital with your own eyes. Wait until I capture Liu Jun alive and see what you say. Goodbye. Amitabha. Hum, this monk fails to discriminate the reality. How dare he disobey my wishes. In this case, why not... As soon as I take action directly, my reputation will be shaken. No, this old monk is well-known. If I take direct action, it will damage my reputation. You must keep a close eye on this old monk. 4:00 Bring him into the barracks on the day we set out troops, and push him onto battlefield and and kill him by the hand of the enemy. Hum. Liu Yixuan did not listen to Gunabhadra's advice, insisted on doing his idea, and set out troops in rebellion. As a result, his army was defeated miserably and he was killed. At that time, Gunabhadra was in the midst of the revolt, after experience many hazards, he survived. It's a sin. Meat eaters fight for power and cause innocent people to be killed indiscriminately. It is so pathetic that the wonderful human world has descended into a hell of resentment. It's a terrible sin. How are you, little benefactor? Am I dead? Why do I see a monk on the battlefield? Amitabha, little benefactor, you are still alive. I've been caught up in this mess as much as you have. Oh, no wonder, there is no god or buddha in the world. Ouch, It's painful. Don't move, I will help you. 6:00 Hurry up, the enemy will come and loot it soon. We won't be able to run away then. Ha, you are young but experienced on the battlefield. Of course, even though I am only 13 years old, I have already experienced many battles. Having said that, you are not bad, though you are an Indian, you say Chinese very well. Because there is Guanshiyin Pusa (Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva) who helps me. Guan what? When I first arrived in China, I planned to translate Buddhist sutras and promote Buddhism. I'm nervous because I can't communicate verbally. So I worship Guanshiyin Pusa morning and night, praying to bless me with communication and translation.
