During his second week in the hospital, through the intercession of a "religious counselor," Mr. Chou-who had always been very down-to-earth and who never had much truck with Buddhism-discovered that he slept much better with an icon of a bodhisattva by his bed and that he felt less pain when chanting Buddhist sutras.
住院第二週，在宗教治療師的介紹下，原本十分「鐵齒」，不信神佛的周伯伯，發現有一張菩薩像在身邊，他就睡得好，唸佛號的時候，身體也比較不疼痛，因此選擇了皈依。
