Buddhism believes that ”this exists so that does, therefore when this disappears so that does too”. The theory of dependent origination lays the foundation for the harmonious thought in Buddhist ethics. It announces the connection of all beings and that life and death are a profound and undeniable theme in nature. Greedy people destroy this harmony in pursuit of their own selfish desires. They try to carve their own beliefs onto the bloody ivory. They don’t know or care that the production of ivory Buddhist statues and beads means the end of an elephant’s life. This sand cartoon film shows the process of the production of ivory Buddhist statues and beads. Hopefully it will give viewers a desire for concern and vigilance in order to challenge the world to refuse to deal with the damage the trade creates, and to teach respect and love for other life forms and nature itself.
