Early in the morning, after finishing all his chores in the temple, Fang Yi greeted Juewen and left Jincan Temple.
In Jincan Temple, besides Fang Yi, who was always the first to wake up, the second was usually the fat monk Juewen. Whenever it wasn't raining, he would get up early in the courtyard to stretch, kick, and exercise. Yet, people often joked about his early rising, saying that because he got up too early and exercised so much every day, he could never manage to lose weight.
Juewen could only laugh helplessly at these kind jests, usually responding slowly with just one line: "There is a profound truth in this, but when I try to explain, I forget the words."
