Shi Lang followed the young monk through the woods silently. He could not imagine how much resolve it would need for the kid to walk through the forest this dense and brutal. The ground was covered with dew and moss, and the tree bark looked nothing less than sharp barbs.
The Terran also noticed a few poisonous insects moving around but they all avoided the young monk who walked with a smile on his face. Shi Lang wondered what kind of personage would back such a young and talented monk. The most heartwarming thing about the Young monks character was the pure heartedness he had, this was a monk worth Shi Lang's respect.
Buddhism was not about telling the truth to the world but it was about not lying to oneself. Shi Lang admired the values of this young monk and looked forward to seeing the master who enlightened the child.
