Now, then, with this, i have to.
I cannot give the real source of the quote (someone may know
it!!), but a buddhistic teacher told his scholars ~"When they
slice you in pieces, suffer in silence."  This (surely,
definitely) referred to Lingchi, and the honest and innocent soul
surely adhered to the teacher's advice.
