Disciple:
The sun was very bright that day, so my master and I went to the streets to ask for alms.
When passing by the Broken Bridge, I met a group of women wearing ruffled hair and took another look in the crowd.
The master asked me how much I liked that woman. I said, I would like to turn into a stone bridge and endure the wind and rain for five hundred years.
The master said that the love between men and women is a small love, while saving all sentient beings is a great love. We should keep the great love.
The master also said that my six organs were not purified and asked me to face the wall for three days.
When I was twelve years old, I became a monk with my master. What my master didn't know was that before that, I had been childhood sweethearts with that woman.
Master:
The sun was very bright that day, so I took my disciples to the streets to pray for alms.
On the edge of the broken bridge, a group of women were making noise, and it had nothing to do with me.
That woman came to offer incense every full moon. I remained calm, but my heart felt like a knife.
I have long regarded life as a kind of faith, and from the moment of my tonsure, I was ready to endure everything.
Buddhism wants to save all sentient beings, but in the end it cannot save itself.
The apprentice is not moved by secular thoughts. He does not know her origin. I should be the one who really deserves to be punished.
I escaped into Buddhism at the age of twenty-four, abandoned my family and my children, and left them only my property.
