According to the animated movie Kung-Fu Panda,
the dragon scroll is supposed to be very powerful and claimed to be containing
the ultimate key to the World’s greatest knowledge. This would be made
available to only the privileged ones who master advanced skills and are
honored to be known as Dragon Warriors.
It so happens that Po (a giant Panda), the protagonist becomes Dragon Warrior in unusual circumstances and is handed over the Dragon Scroll. But when Po opens it, he is astonished and at the same time very disappointed to see that it turns out to be utterly blank. He vividly sees his own reflection in the universally admired scroll.
His hopes of rescuing the citizens of valley of peace, his close friends and his father Peng from the wrath of villain are dashed.

Interestingly, later during a casual chat with his father, Peng who
runs a restaurant talks to him about his opinion on life. Peng reveals during
the climax that to make a dish special one doesn’t have to add anything special
but just have to believe it special.
“There is no secret ingredient” he tells his adopted cute Panda about his famous secret ingredient soup. Suddenly it dawns upon the Panda that the dragon scroll indeed held the life’s fundamental essence.
It is the individual who has to learn to believe in himself and perform his actions in the righteous manner. Armed with this new found realization, Panda wins battle against the villain.

It is only wise to understand this latent message and lead our
lives accordingly. One may read a lot of scriptures, write many different
books, attend preaching sessions or even deliver sermons but unless one
believes that he is special and committed to perform virtuous actions, he is
lost in the vagaries of life.
If this wisdom of secret ingredient is imbibed in one’s actions, a person can fight and defeat any tough villain in life. Unlike the movie, this knowledge is not limited to only privileged ones. So, what do you think about the secret ingredient?
