In the morning, bowing to all;
In the evening, bowing to all.
Respecting others is my only duty--
Hail to the Never-despising Bodhisattva.
In heaven and earth he stands alone.
A real monk
Needs
Only one thing--
a heart like
Never-despising Buddha.

There is a vulnerability to this man, a sense of self doubt. He talks of his duty almost with a sense of irony and the loneliness echoes through the words. The duties and astheticism of his life is too harsh, comparing himself with the Buddha he senses his own failings.

I feel that he feels the needs to aspire to the lofty heights of Buddha to be a real monk. I don't agree with him as i feel his simplistic outlook on life is an inspiration in itself.
