There is no suitable synonym for ‘Asmimānaya’ in the English language, and therefore the English title for this film is one that is neither directly related to it nor completely unrelated to it. The purpose of this is to generate a symbolic meaning by taking into account the meaning of ‘Asmimānaya’ in Buddhism as well as the way that the concept is depicted in the film.
Additionally, the injury or injustice that is liable to happen to the original meaning, along with the “Lack of Language” that occurs when such concepts found in Eastern philosophies are defined by foreign cultures and languages has also been taken into account. Words from such philosophies, including Buddhism, such as ‘Samsara’, ‘Karma’, and ‘Nirvana’, along with their meanings and concepts have gained popular usage around the world. We feel that the word ‘Asmimāna’ should be used similarly in order to convey its conceptual and philosophical meaning.
