The splendid Kinkakuji Temple is incomparably beautiful and always stands high above.
It is a dream that the ugly young monk with low self-esteem can never reach and cannot give up.
The obsession of not getting what he wanted made him miserable and crazy.
In the flames that burn everything, will beauty go to destruction or eternity?
There is a Golden Pavilion Temple in each of us.
It is the dream and belief that we desperately desire even though we know it is impossible.
The more banal and boring life is, the more beautiful it becomes.
Reader comments
"I" is the ugly subject, and the Golden Temple is the perfect object. "I"'s pursuit of beauty is paranoid and distorted. Every behavior of the subject interprets the beauty of self-perception and is also a reflection of the Golden Temple in the heart. In the end, "I" chose to burn down the Golden Temple in order to change the ignorance of the world and for the eternal beauty.
It is precisely because of this fire that the confusion in my heart dissipated with the beating of the flame, and I finally chose to live easily.
This book touched me very much. The protagonist's desire for the Golden Pavilion is just like my expectation for life. Although the reality is very harsh, we all have a beautiful dream in our hearts. Like the young monk in the book, I worked hard for my dream. This book made me understand that even if life is mediocre and boring, we cannot give up the pursuit of our dreams. It is like a lighthouse in the distance, guiding us in the direction.
