words carved in wood ?


Hi, is there a Korean speaker among you who could reveal what the words meant which the (unnamed) adult monk had to carve into the wood after committing murder ?

And maybe also what was written prominently on other occasions (sheets of paper on their faces, etc.) ?

thank you.

as mentioned in the trivia section, it is not written in korean

The inscription on the floor is "The Heart Sutra", one of the most important Sutra of Mahayana Buddhism, written in literary Chinese.

I just watched this again and was wondering the same thing. Thank you so much for the clarification Matthewscott8.

The kanji that the monks put over their eyes, mouth and ears say "close" as in "closed."
