Shen Bu

Before one of the buddha's disciples became a monk, he met a beautiful girl and fell in love with her. Buddha asked him "how much do you love her?" And he answered he would turn into a stone bridge and endure 500 years of wind, 500 years of sunlight, and 500 years of rain he only asked that the girl would walk over the bridge.

The dead shall open the eyes of the living. The heart yearning for the past is unattainable. The heart yearning for the present is unattainable. The heart yearning for the future is unattainable. The future becomes the present. The present becomes the past. Seek not the heart that connects the three! What is unattainable speaks not of what can be pursued.

— Master, before he died, he said the window of opportunity has arrived.
— Buddha can only help those seeking enlightenment when the window passes, the chance is lost. And if the window has not yet arrived, then the effort is wasted.
