Everyday Life
How did Dao Shun address unease in accommodation in Korea?
English translation draft · Based on the Chinese article. This is not a word-for-word translation approved by Master Shengyuan.
Dao Shun shared feeling uneasy in Korean accommodation without being able to change rooms. He bought beer and cigarettes and placed them on a table in a small loft. Speaking Chinese, he expressed respect, explained he would leave the next day and played Korean through a translator asking for understanding. He said he then slept through and felt better next morning.
This was Dao Shun’s personal experience, not something I did. Communication appeared to settle that occasion, but not every hotel discomfort has the same unseen source, and travelers do not all need alcohol and cigarettes. Different rooms and people require individual understanding, not judgment from this story alone.
