A highly educated divorced couple learned that their daughter was determined to become a monk and decided to embark on a long journey in search of persuasion. The two set out from Beijing and went to Wutai Mountain, Datong, and Luoyang, but failed one after another. Following the clues, they finally went to Gannan Quzong Monastery.
When my daughter was young, she met a walking monk and nun by chance, which planted the seed of devotion to the Buddha. After studying Buddhist scriptures in depth at university, she yearned for liberation through practice and decided to take the ordination as a nun. Her parents were worried that she would ruin her future and had no regard for worldly views, so they strongly opposed her. Her mother also felt guilty for hurting her daughter because of the breakdown of her marriage. The two of them traveled all the way exhausted, and during the long drive, their estrangement gradually disappeared, and they gradually understood their daughter's state of mind and pursuits.
Intention: Parents let go of their obsession after understanding their children's wishes
