Chinese amounts of time.
Imponderable.
I'm getting vertigo just thinking about the enormity of that.
There was a David Whyte tape I had wherein he spoke about a similar monastery built on cliffs, maybe this one, where the novice mon ks would be sealed up in caves for three years, three months, and three days. Their food lowered to them by rope each day and their waste carried up.
He made a joke referring to a line in a poem by Mary Oliver.
I think it may have been these cliffs.
