## Biography

> "*Life is but a dream. Everything is empty. Buddhism tells of eight sufferings: birth, aging, illness, death, meeting with what we hate, parting with what we love. unfulfilled desires, and the raging five aggregates. They are unavoidable for everyone in the secular world. I wish to help such people, but they absorbed in mundane matters. Their lives are empty and lack meaning. The wheels of karma keep on turning, life after life. The old lantern illuminates the ancient Buddhist statue night after night, accompanied only by the sound of a mokugyo. Day after day, year after year, beauty fades and the mundane world is forgotten. I often say to people that emotions are the source of pain and suffering. Nothing is real. Everything is but a dream. Everything is empty. Buddha’s mercy has saved me from suffering. Submit to the way of the Buddha. Devote yourself to kindness. Know what I know. Have what I have. Be free from want and desire. Renounce anger and ignorance. Abandon lust and greed. Only then will you achieve true happiness. However, there are very few who are able to sever their ties to the mundane world. People ask me how withdrawing from the world and focusing on oneself amidst such turmoil can bring true happiness. In this world filled with demons and carnage, they claim that the tranquility preached by Buddhism is nothing but a lie. I have thought long and hard about this, and come to a conclusion. My robe shall be my armor and my staff my weapon. The time has come for me to return to the mortal world. I will violate my sacred precepts to help the common people and demonstrate my purity of heart.*"
