Bab 373: Capable Master's Interpretation

Wang Kun began to ruminate over the matter. After finishing dinner, Wang Kun suddenly asked, "Master, tell me. Do you think a person has to study to be successful?"

Fangzheng had often pondered over this question back when he was a student since he was not a child that enjoyed studying. Only when he became One Finger Monastery's abbot did he realize the true goal of studying. Therefore Fangzheng sat up straight and looked amiably at Wang Kun. "Patron, This Penniless Monk went to school in the past. Back then, This Penniless Monk did not enjoy studying either. There was always the thought that children shouldn't be cooped up in a tiny classroom. The world outside is so huge, so why shouldn't a person spread their wings and soar?"

"That's right," echoed Wang Kun.
