Buddha Magic

A Ramakien Tale - The second part of introductory talks which will lead up to the retelling of the Thai Ramayana (Ramakien) epic myth. This episode breaks away from the academic prelude which will deal with the family trees of the three main kinds of sentient beings found within the tale of the Ramakien, in order to lighten things up and gives a little bit off the events which lead up to the story by retelling the story of Hirantayaks. Hirantayaks was a giant Asura Deva (Yaksa) monster, who tried to roll up the surface of the earth,in order to leave the humans with no place to dwell anymore out of pure maliciousness. This tale tells the tale of one of the 10 avatars of the god Vishnu in this case the avatar, where he incarnated as an albino Wildboar, in order to stop the demon Hirantayaks, from destroying the earth.
