Reader comments
I especially like the article "A Dog Barking Awakens All the Buddhas". The description of Hui Er is so vivid, "'Bang bang', it hits the wooden door that is closed at night." It feels like Hui Er is like a little friend around me. And I think what the author said about "seeking spiritual comfort from the purity of nature" is particularly reasonable. I recommend you to read this book.
