In the scene where the young man comes back after he killed the woman he loved he at one point writes some words on 3 pieces of paper which he puts on his eyes and mouth and faces the statue of the Buddha. Upon seeing this scene the old monk starts beating him with a stick and seems very angry. What did these words say?

A rejection of all things material? suicide?
I dunno
Dictated, but not read.
I believe this is their tradition of dying, passing onto the next life/world. The young boy was trying to commit suicide (as it seemed to me they were adhesive tapes that would restrict air intake.
shareI think "close" is the most right translation from chinese:
閉

I was wondering about that as well. The old monk did the same thing and set himself on fire.
