My grandfather is very eccentric, performing daily rituals of offering incense to himself, standing in front of his own spirit tablet and eating candles.
Villagers are fearful of my grandfather.
I am fearful of him too.
Later, I discovered that what they were afraid of was not my grandfather, but me.
Even grandfather is afraid of me.

My name is Chen Shi.
The Chen of honesty, the Shi of sincerity.

He pointed to the monk's tonsure and said, "The first tonsure that Zen Master Ku gave you represents the gateway to heaven on your head, right?"


The young monk gave him a deep look, "Benefactor indeed knows the methods of Buddhist cultivation. Correct, my first tonsure is indeed the gateway to heaven. Master said this is where the Yin God and Yang God enter and exit. Benefactor, you are arrogant with your talent and belittle the true lineage of Buddhism. What you know, Buddhism also understands!"


He recited the Buddha's name, resonating like a giant bell, and Zen Master Ku's aura resonated with it. Suddenly, a swastika appeared on the top of Zen Master Ku's head where his tonsure was.


Beneath Zen Master Ku's patched robe, another swastika manifested at the position of his navel!


"Buddhist golden bodies command respect!"


Chen Shi pressed his palms together in respect towards Zen Master Ku and withdrew.
