00:00This monk spread his arms wide, with a sharp knife suspended under each armpit.
00:03Then, while lifting two buckets of water, each weighing 100 pounds,
00:06next, he needed to walk up a 90-degree slope and pour the water into a ditch at the top,
00:11letting it flow down into the pool below.
00:12This was no easy task, because he had to maintain his balance the entire time
00:16and keep his arms outstretched.
00:17If his arms dropped even slightly, the two blades would pierce him.
00:20At first, he hadn't mastered the technique and could only wobble his way to the top of the slope with
00:24the water.
00:24To learn martial arts as soon as possible, he started carrying 500 buckets of water every day.
00:28After several months, he stood out among his fellow disciples.
00:31Now, he not only carried the two buckets at lightning speed,
00:33but even had energy left over to help his fellow brothers.
00:36Seeing him helping others, the master immediately stopped him.
00:38During training, you must never help your fellow disciples,
00:41because it will only prevent them from ever achieving anything in their practice.
00:44The monk felt very uneasy hearing this.
00:46After the master approved of his performance, he ordered him to proceed to the next level of testing.
00:50At this stage, the monk was required to stand between two lit candles,
00:53and his eyes had to follow the flames as they swayed left and right.
00:56But during this process, his head could not move even slightly.
00:58This was meant to sharpen his mental discipline, and the man was confident about it.
01:02At first, his eyeballs could barely follow the candlelight.
01:04However, when the abbot suddenly picked up the pace,
01:06he couldn't help but move his head and got burned by the candle.
01:08The abbot warned him that his head must never move with his eyeballs and ordered him to try again.
01:12The monk refused to give up and stepped forward to try again.
01:15This time, his gaze became sharp, and no matter how fast the abbot accelerated,
01:18his head remained absolutely still.
01:20Seeing this, the master smiled with satisfaction.
01:22Next came a new test, but the training method was truly puzzling.
01:25He needed to focus completely on listening to the master strike the wooden fish.
01:28this approach every time the abbot
01:29Oh, no.
