Not long after I began to study Buddhism. At that time I had already become a monk. When I was at home, I studied Buddhism in Taichung with my teacher Li, and I had a very good friend in Taichung. I had became a monk, I think for two or three years, he lived in Taichung, I lived in Taipei. His surname is Jiao, I don't know if he is still here, his name is Jiao Guobao, we often got together. He wrote a letter to me, telling me he wanted to get married and was asking for my opinion. I wrote a word on a postcard and sent it to him. I wrote the word “marriage 婚" on it. I heard that after he received it, he didn't want to get married. What is 婚? A woman on one side and a stupor on the other. When one sees a woman, one becomes stupor. That's what marriage means. How can he get married if he doesn't become such? If he is in a state of stupor, he will get married. So this is the meaning.
But did he see my meaning? No, he didn't. He only understood half of it. The other half is to get married and not to enter a state of stupor. Always remind youself not to enter such a state and that’s how its done. Your ancestors didn't teach you not to get married. If you don't get married, how can you carry on the family line? But you shouldn’t enter such a state when you get together as a couple. Once you do, it's over. The meaning of this word is so deep! Such features are not found in foreign writing. So it is a symbol of wisdom. It cannot be changed. Once it is changed, the meaning is completely lost.
