Lin Ku-fang practices Zen; he likes to use the phrase "karma from another lifetime" to explain this sort of encounter with traditional music. "It's really thanks to karma from another lifetime; in 'The High Moon,' one is just able to quickly enter the most refined regions of music and obtain its emotional tone," he says.
習禪的林谷芳喜歡用「夙世因緣」，來解釋他與傳統音樂的這段相遇，「也真託諸『夙世姻緣』，在《月兒高》中，竟也能很快進入音樂裡極精微的領域般，得其情懷」，他說。
