Season 1 Episode #14 – The Third Man
You've learned to trust people, but doesn't it hurt you?
And you? Not trusting... Are you not hurt more?
How do you go through all that and not get twisted.. out of shape by it?
I seek... Not to know all the answers... But to understand the questions.
Season 1 Episode #15 – The Ancient Warrior
Master, what is the best way to meet the loss of one we love?
By knowing that when we truly love it is never lost. It is only after death that the depth of the bond is truly felt and our loved one becomes more a part of us than was possible in life.
Are we only able to feel this toward those whom we have known and loved a long time?
Sometimes a stranger known to us for moments can spark our souls to kinship for eternity.
How can strangers take on such importance to our souls?
Because our soul does not keep time; it merely records growth.
Season 2 Episode #7 – The Tong
There is much evil in the world, grasshopper. It has always been thus. ...
Violence became their tool for combating violence. ...
Two hundred years have passed. The Manchus are still sitting upon the throne. The tong still kill, no longer for a noble cause yet they are the children of the five Shaolin priests who went to Fukien long ago ...
Master, must we not do more than mourn this wrong? We must right it.
How, grasshopper?
Strike down this tong. Take away from our children the power to do wrong.
That is what they said in Fukien 200 years ago.
No, grasshopper, evil cannot be conquered in the world. It can only be resisted within oneself.
Matthew 5:39, "Resist not evil but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also."
I do not know your Bible, but our sage Lao-tzu has written: "A wise man does not contend therefore, no one can contend against him. Yield and overcome."
Could you teach it to me. I will never tell anyone.
You think wisdom is like a flower for you to pluck. It is a mountain and it must be climbed.
I am not worthy.
You are not willing.
He calls me "Oil and Water' because I have white blood. ...
And you wish it were not true. ...
Time is carving you, grasshopper. Let yourself be shaped according to your true nature.
No man has fear until fear comes to him.
Do you know some magic that is stronger than death?
If a man lives it is a certainty he will died. Therefore, it is foolish to think of death as if he were a foe to be vanquished. He will come when he will come. That's all.
Season 2 Episode #12 – The Gunman
That is what you risk, Grasshopper: great pain, or great joy.
Master, if I shall love others, how can I be sure that they in return will love me in return?
Do you seek love or barter?
But, if I love others and they do not love me, I shall feel great pain.
That is what you risk, Grasshopper: great pain, or great joy.
