General Shi Yan-sheng:
The Master Abbot sent you?
Child Monk:
[nods head]
Your roots of wisdom are slight, your sins serious. In this life you're unlikely to attain the highest wisdom. I'll show you the way. Success or failure is in your hands. Observe the prohibitions, be ascetic, work hard for progress in the next life. Then you can see the light of Buddha after centuries.
Soldier:
You... you've been a monk for long?
Child Monk:
Ten years.
General Shi Yan-sheng:
How old are you?
Child Monk:
Ten.
General Shi Yan-sheng:
Your parents sent you here?
Child Monk:
No parents. Empty of all burden.
Fat Soldier:
My tummy is empty. How about supper?
Child Monk:
You've had it!
Fat Soldier:
I haven't!
Child Monk:
Monks have one meal a day. No eating after midday.
