Xian'er:Shifu, I shouldn’t, but I can’t help but ask you this question. Shifu:Go ahead. Xian'er:What is love? Shifu:What a trivial question! Why don't you care about big issues like birth and death? Bonk! Bing! Bang! Ouch! Xian'er:But I am just a little monk. Xian'er:I learned this lesson the hard way. Please treasure it.—With regards, Xian'er. 【A Word of Chan】 What we call love is nothing more than an exchange or a match between one person’s self-attachment and that of another. This always results in people hurting one another. Suffering stems not from love, but from self-attachment. Only by gradually letting go of self-attachment can we have a sense of true happiness.
