This is actually an important life lesson, I think. I'm gonna save this.

@ilaya
Same. For all its humor, this manga never fails to introduce lessons to the audience (the author probably wanted to use it to make Buddhism more accessible). This speech reminds me of Kou's conversation with Ruri in chapters 196-197, which had some of my favorite lines in this series.

@Misticsan Right! Absolute gem of a manga. And Buddhism, even from an atheistic or as from an observant from another religion's point of view, has some very important life lessons which everyone should learn, in general. So it's a cool religion to study

And now that you mention it, I think I'm gonna check those chapters again... (o゜▽゜)o☆

....is he dying? I am now very concerned for his health because it seems like he is wrapping up loose ends.....

@ilaya It's a very sad irony that he's sharing this great wisdom while being under mental control of the other monk.
This is probably the most mature 4koma we read until now

@Spotspot01 No, he's not but I feel he's terribly depressed

Thank you for the update 😄

@DjAlexDubCheck true, absolutely true 😔
i don't read 4komas much at all but you're probably right
