"Everyone is..."
Before Coach Ma could finish speaking, Yang Sisi rudely interrupted him, yelling, "It's all your fault... Nobody wants to become a bald monk except you! You should leave now... You've seen through everything, haven't you? Birth, old age, sickness, and death have nothing to do with you... Don't come to places like hospitals, they're filthy here, don't tarnish your Buddha's holy light!"
Coach Ma stared at Yang Sisi in astonishment, but Yang Sisi seemed to have been provoked. She forcefully pulled Coach Ma up from the chair and then kicked him out of the ward... She was so angry that she launched into another tirade of abuse at Coach Ma's retreating back.
...
After Coach Ma left, the ward fell silent instantly, and in that quiet atmosphere, I suddenly felt extremely lost... I wanted to find a way to ease my pain, and even becoming a monk became a way out in my mind. I felt that I was in a state of no attachment, and even had seen through life and death... because two extremely important women in my life had left this world in such an unexpected way... so, the boundaries between life and death gradually disappeared in my heart.
I believe Coach Ma's words. He said, "Life is neither truly life nor truly death; life and death are one..." Since there is no difference between life and death, why bother about how one lives? After all, life and death are both outcomes, so living is the most illusory thing in the world...
Yang Sisi waved her hand in front of me repeatedly until she got my attention back, then said, "Michael, let me tell you, you absolutely mustn't get stuck on this. Only a spineless man like Coach Ma would think of escaping the world... He and you are on completely different levels. In my heart, you are the most responsible man. You don't just live for yourself; there are many people around you who support you and care about you... If you really become as spineless as Coach Ma, you will hurt even more people than him, much more..."
