Hi,
Thank you for your kind words.
I appreciate you taking the time to comment on my
story. I'd like to clear up what _may_ be a
misconception. It is _not_ the physical site of the
terrorist site that Usagi is refusing to leave, but
hell, or rather the terrorists self-created hell. I
was inspired by the Zen story which is given at the
end of the fanfic.
Another reader kindly provided me with the Chinese
version of this story . . .
{{" . . .there is a Buddha who renounced nirvana to
enter the realms of Yanluo, the King of Hell,
to read Buddhist sutras to the condemned souls of Hell
in order to lessen their suffering. Ti-Tsang Wang once
said,
(roughly translated..)
"If I do not enter Hell (to recite the sutras), who
will?"
"Wo Bu Ru Di Yu, Sui Rui Di Yu?"}}
Thank you for reading my story and taking the time to
comment. I'll try to clarify things in the re-write.
