"Think more." Monk Yuantong answered four words.
This person was full of "experience". When he went back, he lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling all day, without moving, and began to think more.

Monk Yuantong agreed and followed the man's wife to his house. He saw that he had become thin and haggard.
He saw that Monk Yuantong came and struggled desperately to get up. He said weakly: "Since I came back that day, I have been thinking about it every day besides eating. Look how far I am from Dedao now? When will I realize my wish?"
Monk Yuantong said: "You only know whether to do it every day. You have been thinking for so long, what have you thought about?"
The man said: "I think so much that my mind is full."
"I see that except for your hair on your head, you have all gained garbage." Monk Yuantong said disappointedly.
"Trump?" the man asked.
"Those who just want to do not do can only produce ideological garbage." Monk Yuantong replied.
