Representation of Buddhist ideas of Anitya Anatman Shunyata and Sratityasamutpada in the blanket truth

Demonstrating to Cricket using a blanket, Bernard explains how different people in the world exist together connected by the blanket (“I Heart Huckabees (Metaphysics clips)”). According to him, people are the same and it’s the condition of existence that is changing. At another point, he talks of how people are connected by the same particles although they are unseen. Regardless of age, people are the same. The message conveyed in this scene represents Buddhist ideas of Anitya, Anatman, Shunyata, and Pratityasamutpada. This is the reality of existence of worldly things. Emptiness frees people from unsatisfactory of existence of the world phenomenon (Tricycle 64). People should just observe the current state of conditions and the preceding state and accept the reality. This is what Bernard talks about in the scene “blanket truth” (“I Heart Huckabees (Metaphysics clips)”).
