This year during Qingming Festival, I went to visit my father's grave. I accidentally picked up a book next to his tombstone. The book was wrapped in several layers of plastic bags. My kind mother saw it and asked me to burn it. I didn't agree because I thought it might be the only thing left by my father. My father was a hunter. It is said that he stepped on the entrance of a tomb in the mountains, accidentally fell down, and hit his head on a stone wall. He lost too much blood and passed out. It was not found until three days later. When he was carried back to the village, his father's body was already stiff, and he had this book in his arms. When my mother was buried, in order to get rid of bad luck, she buried this book under the tombstone. It was originally buried very deep, but due to age and soil erosion, it now appears again. I remember I was still young when I buried it, but now I finally see its true face: the Mantra Sutra
