You’re the only Chinese speaking person active on the forum, as such you are our biggest treasure. This forum has a history of banning Chinese speakers (e.g. Awaken).

I think some slavishly belief what their Chinese teacher says, merely because he is Chinese; hearing another Chinese person have different views, that’s too challenging.

Hi. Welcome to the forum.

This video might be a fake but the sentiment expressed is entirely real, and I love Johnny Cash.

and apparently killed lots of monks for real by telling them to keep in mind how ugly they are.

Laughing in a good way.

For Roman Catholics, the moral law (what is good or evil) has been set by God. This story is about obedience to God. the DDJ sees imperfection, e.g. start ch. 5: 天 地 不 仁 之 以 (tian1 di4 bu4 ren2 zhi1 yi3 ) Nature is inhumane, it uses 萬 物 為 芻 狗 也 (wan4 wu4 wei2 chu2 gou3 ye3 ) all living creatures as disposables.
