Question

There once was a master who went to India. He had never been there before. When he got there, he saw a lot of f 1. . In India they have plenty of fruit to sell, but much of it is expensive b 2.  they can’t grow much as a result of the water situation. He saw a big basket of some very red, long fruit. And it was the c 3.  in the shop, not expensive at all.

He went up and asked，“how much per kilo?”“Two rupees.”Two rupees in India is almost

n 4. ; it’s like dirt (尘土). So he bought a whole kilogram of it and started eating it. But

a 5.  he ate some of it: Oh, my god! His eyes watered, his mouth watered and burned, his eyes were burning, his head was burning and his face became red. He jumped up and down, saying，“Ah! Ah! Ah!”

But he s 6.  continued to eat! Some people looking at him shook their heads and said，“You’re crazy. Those are chilies (辣椒)! You can’t eat them like that. They’re not fruit!” However, the master said, “No, I can’t stop! I paid money for them, and now I’ll eat them. It’s my money!”

You may think that master was s 7. , right? Similarly, we sometimes do a lot of things

Even though the suffering experience tells us it won’t w 9. , and we know there’s no hope things will change in the future—we still continue just because we’ve devoted money, time, effort and love to it. Just like the man who ate the chilies and suffered so much but couldn’t stop.
