There was also a friend of mine who had become terribly disillusioned about Buddhism, having suffered harassment, and wanted me to write about her experience. This friend passed away a couple of years ago. I had promised to tell her tale, and that's how I got the idea for this book.
他開了許多佛教書籍給我，這當中也有人進了佛教後感受到很大的幻滅，找我寫故事，她曾受到騷擾，前年這個朋友去世，我曾答應她把故事寫出來，就想寫個佛教故事。
