A Buddhist disciple shouted sternly, "We are disciples of Buddha, ascetic travelers from Mount Ling, exalted above others wherever we go, receiving worship from all living beings."
Yet, the people before them regarded them as criminals, their eyes glittering with greed, viewing them as spoils of war.
This reversal of status, from heaven to earth, filled these proud disciples of the Buddhist Sect with immense rage.
