I'm the servant
to Sister Superior.

Did you come here
to become a nun?

Yes.

Are you in bad terms
with your parents?

No.

Did you lose your loved one
to another woman?

Temples are for penance.

This is not a hiding-place for

criminals or the mistreated.

I'd like to see
Sis. Sup. Eun-sun.

You need permission from your parents
to receive Buddhist initiation.

It's getting late. Get some sleep
and go back in the morning.

Where did you come from?

- Pardon?
- Where did you come from?

- Gwang-ju, ma'am.
- Before that?

- My mother's womb.
- Before that?

Well, I wouldn't be here
if I knew that.

Physically being here
doesn't make you a nun.

Here you have give up
all the earthly desires and sorrows.

You can't gain
without giving up.

The more you give up,
the more you shall gain.

It's already been cleaned.

Just finish up and come back in.

Yes.

How dare you spit!

You must know you have
more disgusting impurities within you.

The people who live here
are far more pure than you.

Shame on you!

Sweep and wipe the floor.
That's the newcomer's job.

I heard you attended a nursing school.
You might have been a college student,

but you have to learn endurance here.

You should've been more patient.
It's much better out in the world.

Until you are initiated,
your body will suffer.

Plenty of adversity awaits you.

Where the hell have you been?

This isn't exactly a cozy home
I can relax in.

What?

I became a widow
at such young age

and I raised you with hard work!

Now do you pay back like this?

You're on usury.
That's not such hard work.

What the hell did you say?

I worked for both of us!

Present yourself. He's a priest of the temple
where your grandmother and I used to go.

What temple does he stay in?
Maybe I should go with him.

He travels around.
You can't follow him.

What brings you here?

I'm traveling around.
I'm on winter break.

- What grade are you in?
- Why do you want to know that?

Why do I want to know...

You look very sick...

Not that much.

Hey, what made you a priest?

Is it necessary to abandon one's family
to become one?

Do you happen to
know my father well?

He was some sort of a military officer.

When he came back from Vietnam,
he entered a temple of Buddhism.

I don't know his Buddhist name.

His name was Lee Jae-myung.

If you happen to meet him,

tell him that sins in Vietnam
were pardoned.

Okay. I'll do that.

My mother told me
to get you some medicine.

I heard you've a stomach ache.

That is of no use.

There's no point in curing your body
when your soul is in sickness.

Don't refuse this.

I've never seen my mother spending
money for someone else's illness.

The doctor said to take 20 pills
after each meal.

Thank you.

Now that I have the medicine
as your mother asked.

I have to be on my way.
Let us part here.

I have my own way to go,
and you have your own.

I'd like to know
where you go and what you do.

I'll follow till I learn it.

Look at the clouds up there.

That's your father.

There is your father's hermitage.

Your father failed.

He was wrong to think

that he can reach enlightenment
by secluding himself in the mountains.

He finally realized

that something obtained from

sharing the pain with the people
is the only valuable enlightenment.

Only when his physical illness
has reached its peak.

What are the differences between the
Buddhist mercy and the Christian love?

They are basically the same.

Especially, in the fact
that they both include altruism.

The Korean Buddhism is known
to be Mahayana.

In my opinion, there are more
of Hinayana aspects.

What do you think
of such perspective?

That is exactly what
Korean Buddhists must strive for.

We can'tjust hide in the mountains.

We have to find the light
within and with the people.

I can't find Nam-won anywhere.

I saw her leave
early this morning.

I guess it's better to leave before
getting head shaved and initiated.

Think wisely.

If you want to leave,
don't sneak away like Nam-won.

Tell us that you want to leave.

We don't imprison anyone
who does not wish to be here.

Seniors are here.
Please, get changed.

You must stay here.
Sis. Sup. Eun-sun said so.

What are you going to do with me?

Why am I not getting initiated?

What will you do, a priest?

That's for you to decide.

You seem to have reached enlightenment
and already became a Buddha yourself

before you even came here.

Buddha is eating you up.

The problem is that
you're taking others with you.

You don't need further study.

You need to learn how to kill
the immature Buddha within you.

According to an ancient book,

there were a thousand stone Buddha
statues and a thousand stone pagodas.

You can speculate how Buddhism
enjoyed great prosperity long ago

judging from the great number of
such structures enshrined in one temple.

And take a good look
at the stone Buddha statues.

You'll notice that they have
very flat and folksy faces.

In a way, it appears to be
the benevolent Buddha himself.

And on the other hand, it appears
to be an artless farmer.

And in another way,
it appears to resemble our ugly Seun-joo.

This is my name.

Family name is Hyun
and given name is Jong.

It is a great pleasure to be
in a class with such beautiful women.

I'm 29 years old.

I'm married.

And I have a child.

- Is it a boy or a girl?
- It's a boy.

But I am still growing.

And I want to grow with you.

- Hey, Mr. Hyun is single.
- Really?

Some say his wife passed away,
and some say he got divorced.

Oh, what a pity...

And he has a 5 year old daughter
living with his grandmother.

Oh, boy...

Hey, come quick! Gather around.
A big news!

- What is it?
- What's up?

I saw him in the ally
in front of our house last night.

Who?

I saw Mr. Hyun walking tipsy
all by himself.

He looked so Ionely
but still very handsome.

You're going crazy
over him, aren't you?

Why don't you go to his house
and keep him company?

Mr. Hyun!

- You're Soon-nyeo, aren't you?
- Yes.

Where are you going?

- I'm headed for Gang-won province.
- What's there?

I know a Buddhist priest there.

When did you find time
to make acquaintance with a priest?

I'm headed for Dae-jeon. I guess
we can travel together to Dae-jeon.

Who lives in Dae-jeon?

Well, nobody, actually. Just visiting.

To Pu-yeo and to Gong-ju.

I started visiting those places
a few years ago twice a year

during summer and winter vacation.

Traveling just by yourself?

Yes...

Mr. Hyun. Can I travel with you?

What? What did you say?

I don't really have to
go to Gang-won.

I'm not sure about the temple
that I planned to go.

And I don't think the priest
is just waiting for me.

You're so bold!

It's been said that 3000 court ladies
jumped from Nak-hwa-am and died.

But 3000 court ladies is a nonsense.

Probably, women from in and out
of the Capital city

took refuge and they fell down
not to be slaved by foreign invaders.

That might make better sense.

A few court ladies may
have been in the crowd.

In history, the defeated
left many sad stories.

Unification of 3 Kingdoms was
made with the help

of foreign forces
for the first time in our history.

To rationalize and glorify that

the last king of Eui-ja was depicted
as a violent and debauched king.

This is Go-ran Temple.

The last king Eui-ja used to
drink this water.

Drinking this water, you will
hear the cries of the River Baek-ma

and the women of Baek-jai
and the drum rolls of Go-ran temple.

Let's get some sleep.

I'm tired.

When you finish reading,

turn the light

and the fan off.

Try to keep your stomach warm
with a quilt. And sleep well.

The peasant army of Dong-hak
was defeated by the Japanese

and couldn't make it
over this Ugumchi Hill.

To console them,

this memorial tower was built
right here where the Gong-san Fortress

comes into view.

How'd have our history been changed
if the peasant army

made it all the way to Seoul?

But the Ugumchi Hill turned
into a river of blood

because of Japanese army's
modern guns.

This used to be a state road.

The arrested and tied General Green-peas
must have passed this road.

I made a promise to her.

My wife...

is a poet.

She was shot in Gwang-ju

carrying a 8 month old
in her womb.

Her life-Iong wish was

making the story of
the falling empire of Baek-jai

and the defeat and the retreat
of the peasant army

in their last advance
into an epic poetry.

I promised her
that I would write it.

Let's be honest.

I want the truth.
You and I are both women.

Does it make any sense
that nothing happened

between two young people
sleeping in the same motel room

while traveling for that long
and far away from home?

Even a 3 year-old
wouldn't believe it.

Well, damn it!

The curtains are closed
and you and I are alone here.

So, if you're confident about
your innocence, take your clothes off.

I gave birth to 3 children.

If a girl has sex with a man,
evidences are in her body.

And if pregnant, change of body

is very clear!

You'd better come clean.

Your expulsion from this school
is solely up to me, you bitch.

Take it all off.

Ms. Oh. It's me.

It's Hyun Jong.

I have just submitted
my resignation.

I swear that she's innocent.
Please, give me some credit.

She will be graduating
in a few months.

I hope you can show some mercy
for her entire future is at hand.

I beg you.

You also have daughters, don't you?

Why are all the Buddhas
carved so ugly?

Maybe, ugly heart only sees
ugly faces in the stones.

Criticizing the heart can be
another egotistic attachment.

Ugly face should be
said to be ugly.

What if a person
who found Buddha

in a poor farmer
or an ignorant peasant's face

picked up a chisel, carved away
and resulted in these...

You must not desecrate
the holiness of our religion.

You will not find salvation
with such insult to Buddha.

The reason we lead this ascetic life
is to be pure like Buddha,

and don't we become Buddha ourselves
when our mind is pure?

The farmers and the peasants
who carved the Buddha on the stone

have pure hearts like Buddha

and the soil they live off of is the
equivalent to heaven, don't you think?

That is a nonsense
and misdirected thoughts.

I think the Buddha is also no more
and no less human than us.

The key is who
attained the enlightenment.

That is a wrong attitude
of a Buddhist person.

It's written in books.

You have so many bits and pieces
to pick out and cut out inside.

Philosophers all insist their
eccentric ideas as the truth itself

and corner the people
with opposite opinions.

Who's to say
whose words are the truth?

No one has the truth.

The truth is found in Buddha's teachings.

One, thou shalt not kill.

- Will you abide?
- I do.

Two, thou shalt not steal.

- Will you abide?
- I do.

Study more at the college.

Pardon?

A Buddhist must know more.
Chung-hwa will take over yourjob.

It's an honor and satisfaction enough
to learn from you.

I am saddened and frightened
to leave you.

Take this to Priest Jang-wang.

Don'tjust do what you're told.

Find work to do.
Clean and make some tea, run errands.

You must live as a good servant
if you want any spending money.

Look at this picture.

Why does Dharma have no beard?

Look closely.

Why does Dharma have no beard?

You must fine
the answer in all your life.

Only you must do
Sis. Sup. Eun-sun's laundry.

Okay.

She can't fall asleep
if her blanket's even slightly creased.

I have waited two hours
to see you.

Let's go get some tea
and talk.

I have lots to talk about
and lots to hear from you.

You got the wrong person.
Why don't you go somewhere else?

Isn't it a genuine act of kind Buddhist
to listen to a humble being?

My name is Woo Jong-nam.

I have finished military service.
Now, I'm a junior.

I am writing a novel,
and I'm studying Buddhist teachings.

Of course, it's nothing
compared to what you've done.

What is that you want to talk about?

I'm in no position to waste my time
talking and chatting.

People have something called vision.

In my opinion, it's nothing
different from a fallacy.

The fallacy which lead
people to live with the empty shell.

Why did you have to shave your head
and put on the nun robe?

I think the robe is
a kind of uniform.

Uniforms make the ones
who wear them slaves.

Why did you choose
to go down the path of a slave?

Mr. Woo Jong-nam, you don't understand
the pleasure of obeying Buddha.

Upon entering the priesthood,
the first to be abandoned is the ties
to one's family.

At the same time,
everything is abandoned.

With abandoning all, we strive for
a higher and eternal freedom.

You're wrong.

Those are the freedom and happiness

attained by closing
the world and yourself.

When a person strictly leads
a Christian life,

there's nothing left for himself,
but everything for Christ.

You're a true Buddhist
so you're the same.

As a human, it is an obligation
to love, to hate, to envy,

and to experience the opposite sex
and the joy of giving birth to a child.

With the worldly fun in life,

you get to construct
your own world.

Don't try to draw others
into your delusion

as you draw the water
by digging up a water path.

Don't take me as a character
in one of your novels.

All the beings in the nature
have different purposes.

You said all the beings
serve different purposes.

Then, what is your purpose?

Is it to ignore the poor,

hide deep in the mountain
and discipline yourself?

For the Buddhism to build
a stronghold in the current age,

you have to get together
with poor farmers and city laborers

to lead their spiritual ways.

That's the only road
to salvation.

When the Christianity lifts the heavy
weights off people's shoulders,

what do we have to say?

Do we discuss
the Buddhist Scriptures?

Or do we talk about
the Nirvana in paradise?

We need to free our lives.

I agree.

We must to work to free
the lives of the people.

We must free the people
from money,

from imprisonment in the system,
and from the caves of greed.

And we must free all the people
who were locked up fighting for fair society.

It is yourjob to cleanse
the injustice and dictatorships

and to plant a fresh seed
of Buddhist mercy on this land.

Of course.

But I do not like violence.

Violence will only end
in bigger violence.

How're you, Sister Superior?
It is almost winter now.

I am experiencing great difficulties

ever since I met a student
named Woo Jong-nam.

He has confronted me
with basic questions in our life,

necessary resistance
against irregularities in life.

Power to oppress and
resistance against it,

both are making their own Karma.

What must I do
in the midst of the world?

- What's this?
- It's Sesame soup.

- You stole again, didn't you?
- No.

Black sesame is good for your eyes
and it darkens your hair.

Oh, my dear...

Try some.

How do I get to Yak-su temple?

Don't you people know
Yak-su temple?

It's not there anymore.
It was burned down during Korean War.

There must be a vacant lot then.

If you go up the hill,
there should be a vacant lot.

I was born there.

In the days when communists
were plenty here.

What is 'nil'?

What is 'no exist'?

What is 'empty mind'?

Is not' is not

necessarily the opposite of 'is'.

It is the basic power
of the universe.

We are here to get that power

and to accumulate it within us.

If you think about death,

itjust means to return
to the basic power.

Don't you call your death Nirvana?

Why do you have to bring up death
when you have so much to live?

It's because I want to return it.

You good-for-nothing bastard!

How does someone end up
that way in a temple?

You have to come with me to the station
to answer a few questions.

I think I should go to the hospital.

- Whether he's alive or not...
- You may be scolded.

I feel guilty.

I am the one who showed him
the way to the temple.

I'm not sure... If you feel
that way, you can go by yourself.

Wake up.
The sister who saved you is here.

You've to say thank you to her.

And tell us at least your address
so we can call your guardian.

Why did you save me?

Why must you die?

You are not the only one living
with unbearable weight on your shoulder.

If you kill yourself
before you complete Karma,

your soul will end up
wandering the purgatory.

You have to cultivate virtue
through benevolence.

You have your room now.
We'll have to move you.

Take care of yourself
and live well.

- Goodbye.
- Bye.

Sister.

You're not allowed here.
What are you doing here?

Please, help me.

If you're well now,
go on and live your life.

That's why I'm here.

I was reborn because of you.
You are like a mother to me.

I need you
in my new life.

My life will bear no meaning
if you're not in it with me.

You're just taking it too far.
It was enough trouble saving you.

She went through tough time
all because of you.

The elders will be here soon.
Go away!

I won't leave.

I practice asceticism.
You must go.

If you won't grant my wish,
I have no choice but to kill myself again.

We'll call the cops
if you don't leave at once.

My life is at your hand.

Will you show true benevolence
by taking in this poor soul,

or will you leave this humble soul
to receive its second death?

What do you think you're doing?

Let go! Let go of me!

Let go! Let go of me!

Let me go!

Nothing happened.

I was only trying to give hopes
for him to live on

with the rest of his life.

But...

Of course, I have no doubt
that you were trying to show mercy.

But to an ascetic,
it may become a vice.

Devil may come with it.

If devoting to it too much

it may not grow
and may interfere ascetics.

I know you have been bowing
3000 times a day for punishment.

What are you doing?

What is it that you want?

If you keep this up,

both of us will suffer
an unbearable pain.

Please, go back.

I was born by a communist member
and a woman who followed him.

Both of them were killed during the
communist sweeping operation.

When my grandfather was alive,

I was able to attend a night college
which wasn't of any fame.

I took and passed
an exam for state officials

but was kicked out
for my father's past.

I then try to go
to Middle East to work.

But I was rejected
again for the same reason.

Afterwards, I committed all kinds of
crimes from theft, robbery,

and rape to organized crimes.

One day, I looked at myself
and felt a sudden urge to kill it.

I wanted to return my body back
to where I was born.

So, I came to that temple,
and I was rescued by you.

My life is mine no more
but it's yours.

I have no strength or confidence
to find my own way.

If I go back empty handed,
I'll become a dark spot once again.

I will become a malignant disease
to this society.

Live your life with the courage
that almost killed you.

Turn the darkness in your life
into a light to straighten yourself.

To do so, I need you with me.

You have brought me
back into this world.

You must be my mother, friend,
and wife to me.

Be my guiding light!
Be my mate!

- Sister!
- What are you doing here? Come out!

- Get out of there.
- Chung-hwa!

I'm going to wait.
I'm going to wait for you.

Until my blood dries out to death!

- Chung-hwa! Chung-hwa!
- Shut up!

Chung-hwa!

I came earlier to participate
in the Winter Zen Cult.

Sister Chung-hwa,
Sister Superior wants to see you.

The people won't forgive.

The mountains aren't
the only places for asceticism.

I'm sending you away now,
but I'm not letting you go for good.

When you get rid of everything
and become truly yourself,

we will have a chance
to meet again.

When you go back to the town,
wear this at all times.

Don't bring insult
to the sister nuns

by revealing the traces
of your life as one.

Ms. Lee Soon-nyeo, wait.

Ms. Lee.

This is from Sis. Sup
keep it with you.

Now your body has left
leaving your soul behind.

Or, it maybe that your soul
is leaving your body behind.

Even though you part but there is
one question you must answer.

You must find out whether you who left
is real or you left behind is real.

When you get the answer, agonies
which trouble you will be disappeared.

Good luck on you.

I think the reason for the cough
is the dryness in the room.

Get a humidifier

and, please get a stove
with a stovepipe this year.

From Sister Yun
of Gwang-myung.

I am ready to anything
you ask me to do.

But I have never
dug any coal before.

- Go back then.
- No, no. Wait.

Can you buy me a drink?

Take a shot.

Take just one shot.

What's wrong?

You get drunk so quick.

Just wait and see.
I'll make you into a decent human being.

Oh, my god. No, no...

- Come here.
- Mother, mother...

Mother...

Mother...

Why isn't there any beard
on Dharma's face?

Look closely.

Why no beard on Dharma's face?

I didn't doze. Why?

I don't seem to be able
to advance in my meditation.

I'll abstain from meditation and other
studies and go on a journey.

There are things
you learn by traveling,

and there are things
you learn in the Zen Room.

You may do as you wish.

It's cold.
The weather got cold so suddenly.

Did you go see a doctor?

So what?

- I'm 3 months pregnant.
- What?

And the doctor told me
that when I give birth to this child

he'll hire me as a nurse-aide.

Oh, gosh.

Long time age,
when a woman goes into labor,

she used look back at her shoes
as she enters the room.

She would be thinking

if she'll come back alive
to wear the shoes again.

I guess it's the fear of death.

I tend to look back
when I go inside the mine.

It's already been a year,

but I still feel death is near
whenever I enter a coal mine.

I didn't know that.

Why didn't you tell me?
Get a differentjob.

What kind ofjob?
Go back to long time ago?

Thief, robber, rapist,
and a gangster...

You're a new person now.

The old Park Hyun-woo
doesn't exist anymore.

But I still like the mine.

It feels as though
I am expiating myself.

If we save a little more,
we can buy a Buddhist dictionary.

It's strange. When people see you,
they just can't give enough in charity.

But when they see me,
there's not much.

They say it's up to Asceticism.

I guess I'm far behind you.

How can I break free of
this dreading chain of obsession?

My mother always comes
to my mind

and interferes with my training.

She is the only blood I have
and she is in bed very ill.

I worry if anyone cooks for her,
keeps her warm,

and gives her remedy.

If you meet Buddha,
kill him.

If you meet a disciple,
then kill him.

You have to keep at it
till you have no attachment to anything.

Then and only then, you will receive
emancipation and greater freedom.

Oh, Nirvana, great freedom.
When will I ever have it!

It may take years and years
of abandoning even such desires.

It may be a place
in which we can never reach

in our lifetime, or forever.

Chop the tree.
Do not stop.

Trees are the origin
of all the sins.

When you reach the roots,

My dear all Sisters!
You'll reach the nirvana.

Emancipation will be yours.

I can't go.

I can't walk anymore.

Over this hill is
Chung Jung hermitage.

Just keep walking we reach there.

I can't go anymore.
I want to go back.

What are you doing?

What the...
Thief! Thief!

Catch her!

Thief!

Chicken Thief!

Give the chicken back!

My chicken!

Oh, no... Thief!

Well? How was the run?

Why did you act so blatantly?

Among 10 Buddhist commandments,
the second is thou shalt not steal.

If you steal, your descendants

will be poor all the time.

I took the example from when Sister
Man-gok was under Sister Kyoung-hwa.

Sister Kyoung-hwa said
"Everything comes from mind."

It means everything is
a creation of our minds.

If you think it's heavy,
it will be very heavy.

It would, therefore, mean that if you
lighten up, everything will lighten up.

I'll go back
after I visit my mother.

Are you going to continue?

I heard there's a good hermitage
near Dan-yang.

I want to discipline myself
for about 3 years.

Good luck on you.

Hey, Ms. Lee Soon-nyeo.

Oh, my.

Sister!

It's been a long time.
What brings you here?

I'm on my way to a remote island
where I'll work as a nurse.

- Are you on yourjourney?
- Yes.

I have been to many places,
but very little is gained.

How's Sister Eun-sun?

She's suffering from that cough.

Are you still living
with the man?

He died in a mine.
It collapsed on him.

Oh, my...

I had his baby,
but it died at birth.

And I met another man afterwards.

He lost both of his legs
in an accident in a factory.

I wanted to help him
and asked him to be my husband.

But he didn't make it
over a year.

But, I don't regret my life

in which I gave my heart
and my body to such people.

Living, happiness and unhappiness

are all the same in the essence.

You can't give up
and let them be.

I have never given up.

When ever I meet a new man,
I did my best as if I was a virgin.

I hoped that
it might be Asceticism.

I'm sorry to have said such a word
in front of you.

I have to catch that boat.

I hope you reach your enlightenment.

Don't be discouraged.
May the Buddha be with you.

To Sister Eun-sun...

No, it's nothing.

Look at this Sister!

You're in my spot
without my permission.

When a nun sees a monk
you're supposed to greet him.

Don't you know
you have to bow

when you see a monk
even if you're hundred years old.

How can I bow to you
when I don't know if you're real?

Look, my dear nun!

Priest Huk-am asked
why there's no beard on Dharma's face.

That is a discourse
that warns the illusions

of immature phony nuns
acting like Buddha.

Do you even realize
how dangerous it is

to enter Zen
without Zen knowledge?

If you aren't careful,
you'll end up as a fortune teller.

Look at me carefully.

I am the reincarnated
Buddhist of Mercy.

I am here to test how deep
and pure your faith is.

If we have
one more instinct like sex

nobody can become Buddha.

I see that you can't restrain yourself.

As our paths cross,
why don't we make lover?

I think you won't even move
even if I try to insult your body.

You'll think of it
as a stick erect in the space

making its way in.

Or, you'll think of it
as a finger in a bag of flour

wriggling around.

Am I wrong?

Look at it closely.

There used be a great body part
that would erect itself

a hundred times a day.

Look at it with your eyes
how it changed.

Look!
Look at it!

You should have cut
the roots in your mind.

That was an effort in vain.

There was a person
who cut his ten fingers.

He couldn't control his dark desires.

He thought he could be free
of all the obsessions and pain.

I don't understand why Buddha came
to this world and give us
such suffering.

- Is everything okay?
- Yes, everything's fine.

Except Chul-ho hurt his legs
and doesn't seem to be healing.

And Ok-ja's Grandmother
still has problem with phlegm.

Tell her to quit smoking.

My teeth are killing me.
Please, fix me.

Just wait.
You'll get your turn.

Ms. Kim Soonhyup's blood pressure
have gone down very much.

And Ms. Cha Eun-yung may be pregnant
as her period has stopped.

And Lee Young-ga who got
his stomach operated
says her back hurts.

I dedicate this book
to Soon-nyeo

who's become a nun
and on a journey with the clouds.

Haven't you read
that book yet?

Keum-ok said
she cried so many times

that I had to borrow it.

There are so many sad parts.

I am climbing the Mt. Buseo
again by myself.

I am standing at the cliff of Nak-hwa-am
where thousands of Baek-jai women died.

8 months pregnant!
My wife's soul I have to console.

I'm writing a story of the last King
Eui-ja and General Gye-baek.

Upon hearing your news
of becoming a nun,

I embrace you and become
black beads falling down to death.

Like the women of Baek-jai
fell deep under this cliff

What's wrong?
Did your car break down?

No, it's just overheated.

To add insult to injury the sparkplug
seems to be malfunctioning.

Where did he go?

Gwang-nam, Gwang-nam!

Gwang-nam! Gwang-nam!

Where the hell did he go?

Gwang-nam, Gwang-nam!

Gwang-nam, Gwang-nam!

- Gwang-nam!
- I'm here, daddy.

I caught a mud snail.

Son of a gun!

Who asked you to catch that?

You silly boy!

Stop crying!

Silly boy!

I'm going to leave you here!
Quiet!

Stop crying! Quiet!

Stay here!

Where are my damn shoes!

Why don't you leave him
at the hospital?

He's such a trouble maker.
He wanders around

and make trouble that people at the
hospital doesn't like him that much.

Except you, nurse Lee.

You're going to Mae-pyo, right?

Put your scooter in the back
and sit with Gwang-nam.

I'll give you a ride.

When will we meet again
and as what?

Over waves of blue water

I see your innocent face
with a scent of beads

I see your black eyes.

Over the clear water way where
Gen. Green-peas was tied up and taken,

I row my boat
with your face in my heart.

Open the door!
She's dying over here!

Open the door! Hurry!

Hurry! Open the door!

Open the door!
She's dying over here!

Don't worry,
it'll be all right.

This is OR.
Find a same blood type with the patient,

and prepare for a blood transfusion.

Open you hand.

It's a twins. They're both girls.

They were so big that they
gave their mother a hard time.

Your blood and my blood
are in the mother's body

mixing and mingling.

This should be a Karma.

We were all eating clams together
and he started throwing up

came down with a fever,
and just passed out.

We'll have to wait
for the test results

but I'm sure it's Cholera.

We'll have to take some preventive
measures for disinfection.

We have an announcement.

Any household with diarrhea patient

must report to village hall
with the patient.

We have an announcement.

Hello? Huh?
How many?

Hey Mr. Son. Go pick up some patients
from Yang-a village.

Yang-a?

Let's get you up.

Just get me couple of eggs.

Everyone's disgusted to eat.
Nothing's different for me.

What a week!

I just can't take any more
of having no sleep.

My engine is giving me trouble,
and the tires keep running flat.

I have chauffeured around
the doctors from the health department.

And the patients are increasing
by the dozens everyday.

I told you not to move.

The syringe keeps coming off
because you move.

Mom, daddy's calling you.

Mom, daddy says he's sick.

- What's wrong? I'm busy.
- I'm in a hurry.

You should be careful.

I'm afraid that I might catch this
from carrying all the patients around.

It feels as if the viruses are
getting onto me.

I parked the car out back
and told them the clutch is out.

But that's a lie.

Are you crazy?
Get up.

There's an outbreak in Dang-po.
It's a mess there.

- Get out there.
- No, I'm scared.

- Stop this.
- Come on.

You!

Get up!

- I'm sorry I'm late.
- Come on have a seat.

You all done a greatjob

to have passed this outbreak
without many casualties.

I'd like to especially thank
Ms. Lee and Mr. Son.

Well, in that sense, sing a song!

Oh, alright.

Pink skirt waving in the Spring wind.

Today I stand here again

on this road by the shrine.

We used to laugh
with the flower bloom,

We used to cry
with the flower fall.

But the promise of
the warm Spring day has gone.

Sister Jin-sung.

Where have you been?
I haven't heard from you in so long.

Sister Eun-sun is critically ill.

But she is so sincerely
waiting someone.

I think it's you.

Jin-sung is back.

Why does Dharma's face
have no beard?

Why is there no beard?

I guess yourjourney was nothing but
an imitaion of your senior sisters.

You have to find yourself.

See who's there.

It's Just some tourists.

Why are you burning the books?

The knowledge in the book
only interferes with the disciplining.

What we have to do first
is to ask ourselves what Asceticism is.

We have to clear our minds
before we can answer that question.

But the learned approaches
with Physics,

Science, Anthropology
to identify it.

That was the crucial error.

That is the answer I got
from three years in a cave.

I have become a fugitive
after publishing a short piece
criticizing dictatorship.

I couldn't find anywhere
in this divided nation to hide.

I came to you
as the last resort.

Can you help me?

I'll go talk to Chief Nun
if that is the case.

No, you can't.
You shouldn't.

No one else but you may know
who I am.

I am in a state where I have to get away
from any worldly attachment.

It's a crisis for me right now.

Please, understand.

Mister! Mister!

Sister Jin-sung sent this note.

Go find this address
and ask for help.

My name in the world is
Min Hae-young.

Min Ki-Tae, 156-2, Un-dong, Mok-po.

Look who's coming.

She's here.

Who's there?

Lee Soon-nyeo is here.

Okay.

So, between the soul that was left here

and the body wandering out in the world,

who was the real you?

I knew that this girl Soon-nyeo
would come back a long time ago.

Let this girl live at the corner

running errands
around the temple.

And watch her for 5 years

or 10 years as it's needed
and decide whether to shave her again

or to kick her out...

Sometimes we have to observe
our rules in other ways.

We understood your intentions.

Please, stop talking.

Something that is in the rough
may be more pure

as the lotus blooms in the mud.

Don't worry.
We'll talk to the people

and make sure
your wish should be carried out.

My elder... I beg you.

Sure. Don't worry
and prepare for your Nirvana.

- Jin-sung.
- Yes.

- Hyo-jung.
- Yes.

When I pass away,
I don't want any fuss.

When you burn me to ashes,

don't waist your efforts
looking for any Sariras.

Don't put any stones...

To locate my tomb later.

You step outside.

I said to step outside.

Excuse me.

Please, step down.

We have enough people.

You disgusting creature,
get out of here.

Sister.

Between my soul left with you

and my body out in the world,

neither is my substance.

I knew too late
that I finally have the real self

when and only when the two
are in the same boundary.

I still don't know how to
keep them both in the same boundary.

Please, give me strength.

Are you looking for Sariras?

Why do you waist your efforts
in something so useless?

I'll split this bone
into a thousand pieces,

and wherever I stop during my journey,
I'll make a pagoda with this bone.

I intend to build just
one thousand pagodas

that will light up
the heart of the people.

Such a pitiful delusion.

Without any delusion,

how can you attempt to bring salvation
to the deluded public?

Those who not get sleep,
the night is so long.

Those who are tired,
the road is so long.

Those who not know the truth,

the night way to life and death
is long and far away.
