The fat monk is on punishment detail, by order of the Abbot, working in the local market.
He takes Xiaoyao to meet another student of his own teacher. She runs a vegetarian restaurant which operates as both a focus of her own development and as a hub for local Daoist teaching.
Shijie, the Older Sister in the Dao, relates a tale of their teacher at work, when they happen upon a man in the forest dead-set on taking his own life (so potential trigger-warning here!).
SHOW NOTES:
Xiaoyao Xingzhe, the self-styled carefree pilgrim, has lived and worked all over the world, having crossed the Gobi in a decrepit jeep, lived with a solitary monk in the mountains of Korea, dined with the family of the last emperor of China, and helped police with their enquiries in Amarillo, Texas.
