&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Pang:  It is part of a monk&#x27;s duty to travel beyond the temple from time to time, to confront our beliefs, to-to deepen our understanding of the world.  I think Master Bo took to this lifestyle very much.  I only wish I had passion, Yang Yang...Last we had heard, he and Shi Kong had been stationed at the military Garrison far to the Northeast, trying to impart the Dhamma during these volatile times.  They&#x27;d been away for nearly eighteen months...&#x3C;br \&#x3E;
&#x3C;br \&#x3E;
Pang:  Teacher!  It&#x27;s so good to see you!  How were your journeys!?  Jian:  Where&#x27;s Kong??  &#x3C;&#x3C;TOK TOK TOK TO&#x3E;&#x3E;&#x3C;br \&#x3E;
&#x3C;br \&#x3E;
Master Bo:  Pang, Jian...I&#x27;m afraid I&#x27;ve no time to talk.  I must peak to Head Abbot at Once.  Pang:  What&#x27;s wrong?&#x3C;br \&#x3E;
&#x3C;br \&#x3E;
Master Bo:  ...I&#x27;m Sorry.  &#x3C;&#x3C;CLIPPITYCLOPPITYCLIPPTYCLOPPITY&#x3E;&#x3E;  Jian/Pang: ???&#x3C;br \&#x3E;
&#x3C;br \&#x3E;
Pang:  AND SO...that night, a private meeting was held in Head Abbot&#x27;s quarters. &#x3C;br \&#x3E;
&#x3C;br \&#x3E;
He:  Guys...we&#x27;re not invited for a reason, guys.  Let&#x27;s just &#x3C;&#x3C;SHHHHH&#x3E;&#x3E;&#x3C;br \&#x3E;
&#x3C;br \&#x3E;
Pang:  Come on.  Steady now.&#x3C;br \&#x3E;
&#x3C;br \&#x3E;
Pang:  Okay okay.  A little to the right.  Jian: Can you hear anything?  He:  Guys...  Pang:  Okay okay.  Jian: Just--  &#x3C;&#x3C;SHH!&#x3E;&#x3E;&#x3C;br \&#x3E;
&#x3C;br \&#x3E;
Pang:  Okay.  There...&#x3C;br \&#x3E;
&#x3C;br \&#x3E;
&#x3C;&#x3C;BINK BINK&#x3E;&#x3E;  Master Bo:  N-Stop Arrison,traight, nd I--  Head Abbot:  --BUT--But how can this be!?</description>

Pang:  It is part of a monks duty to travel beyond the temple from time to time, to confront our beliefs, to-to deepen our understanding of the world.  I think Master Bo took to this lifestyle very much.  I only wish I had passion, Yang YangLast we had heard, he and Shi Kong had been stationed at the military Garrison far to the Northeast, trying to impart the Dhamma during these volatile times.  Theyd been away for nearly eighteen months<br \>
<br \>
Pang:  Teacher!  Its so good to see you!  How were your journeys!?  Jian:  Wheres Kong??  <<TOK TOK TOK TO>><br \>
<br \>
Master Bo:  Pang, JianIm afraid Ive no time to talk.  I must peak to Head Abbot at Once.  Pang:  Whats wrong?<br \>
<br \>
Master Bo:  Im Sorry.  <<CLIPPITYCLOPPITYCLIPPTYCLOPPITY>>  Jian/Pang: ???<br \>
<br \>
Pang:  AND SOthat night, a private meeting was held in Head Abbots quarters. <br \>
<br \>
He:  Guyswere not invited for a reason, guys.  Lets just <<SHHHHH>><br \>
<br \>
Pang:  Come on.  Steady now.<br \>
<br \>
Pang:  Okay okay.  A little to the right.  Jian: Can you hear anything?  He:  Guys  Pang:  Okay okay.  Jian: Just--  <<SHH!>><br \>
<br \>
Pang:  Okay.  There<br \>
<br \>
<<BINK BINK>>  Master Bo:  N-Stop Arrison,traight, nd I--  Head Abbot:  --BUTBut how can this be!?]]></content:encoded>

&#x3C;br \&#x3E;
Yang Yang:  So, our parents opted not to go through with the ceremony.  There was just to much going on...uncle needed help here, and DaZhong--That&#x27;s his name--he enlisted.  I--I don&#x27;t even know how he&#x27;s doing.  They say many have died...&#x3C;br \&#x3E;
&#x3C;br \&#x3E;
Yang Yang:  The worst part is, I&#x27;m not sure I even miss him.  I mean, I pray that he&#x27;s okay of course.  I DO.  I pray for everyone every night.  But do I really MISS him?&#x3C;br \&#x3E;
&#x3C;br \&#x3E;
Pang:  It&#x27;s terrible, isn&#x27;t it?  I guess I just don&#x27;t...I don&#x27;t know.  Pang:  No No.  Say something!  She wants you to say something wise.&#x3C;br \&#x3E;

&#x3C;br \&#x3E;
Pang:  My story?  Oh.  Yang Yang:  Well, that is, if you&#x27;re still up for it.  Pang:  Oh. No...yes, I am.  You&#x27;d be gracious to listen.  Where&#x27;d I leave off?&#x3C;br \&#x3E;

Yang Yang:  Pang!  Are you sick?  Pang:  NNNG...Ohhh...My head&#x27;s still a little fuzzy.  &#x3C;&#x3C;BLIP&#x3E;&#x3E;&#x3C;br \&#x3E;
&#x3C;br \&#x3E;
Pang:  I should clean that up though.  What a mess...grab my ankles will you?  Yang Yang:  What?  No, it&#x27;s fine.  Come on--you don&#x27;t look so good.  Pang:  ??&#x3C;br \&#x3E;
&#x3C;br \&#x3E;
Yang Yang:  This way.  You need to lie down.  Pang:  M-maybe you&#x27;re right.  Yang Yang:  Sheesh.  Don&#x27;t tell me it was the food, was it?&#x3C;br \&#x3E;
&#x3C;br \&#x3E;
Pang:  Huh?  No.  I think it&#x27;s a matter of excess Qi...  Yang Yang:  Excess Qi?  Pang:  Yes.  A misdirected accumulation.  I sort of lost my focus during my exercises.  &#x3C;br \&#x3E;
&#x3C;br \&#x3E;
Pang:  I try to make a point of practicing Qi Gong whenever I can.  Qi, Yang Yang, is vital to our lives.  But it&#x27;s a difficult thing to control  Very finicky if you&#x27;re not careful.  I guess I just swallowed some down the wrong tube, if you know what I mean.  Yang Yang:  Not exactly...Here, take this.  Pang:  Oh!  Good thinking.&#x3C;br \&#x3E;

&#x3C;br \&#x3E;
Pang:  Ahh!  Yeah!  That was it.  Nothing like a good muffled yell to relieve the tension and clear the--uh...wh-what&#x27;s the matter, Yang Yang?  Yang Yang:  Nothing.  You&#x27;re just...weird.  INTERESTING but weird.&#x3C;br \&#x3E;
&#x3C;br \&#x3E;
