Master Bua Quotes in Ong-bak 3 (2010)

Tien: Now I understand your intentions in teaching me the art of dancing. Dancing is therapy for the body and mind. I owe you a debt of gratitude for changing my life.

Master Bua: It's your mind that finally opened to change. Change the enemies into dancing partners. There are many things in the world that you have to learn. Greed. Wrath. Infatuation. Desires. Lust. And ignorance. Always be careful. These sins are the causes of suffering. They cause all living creatures to be stuck in the perpetual cycle of birth and death.

Tien: How can I avoid these sins?

Master Bua: Train. You need to train yourself to cleanse and purify your mind. The mind is the chief. The body is the servant. The consciousness is the controller. The mind comprehends. Be aware, then let go. Your mind will remain untarnished.

Master Bua: Right now, an insane person like Mhen can understand the world better than a sane person like you.

Mhen: Staying here is better than jumping.

Tien: I'm at my wit's end. I'm alive, yet my life is worthless.

Master Bua: You were born under an ominous sign that causes you much suffering.

Mhen: But now, my name cannot help rectify my fate. I cannot accept life like this.

Master Bua: Your name only symbolizes its meaning - light. Tien, take a look in front of you now. The light of wisdom is driving away the darkness. Look at the ground. Now you can see your own shadow. If you are scared by the shadow that follows you, just remember, wherever shadows fall, light is always nearby.
