During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there were years of war and turmoil. A wise man named Ji Shen Guang saw through the transient world and wished to embrace Buddhism. He went to Shaolin and requested the patriarch Bodhidharma to shave his head and ordain him. Ji Shen Guang stood in the snow for three days and nights, but Bodhidharma was unwilling to accept him, saying that he would only accept him as a disciple if red snow fell from the sky. With his determination to become a monk firm, Ji Shen Guang cut off his left arm, and then red snow miraculously fell. Bodhidharma was moved by his sincerity and accepted him as a disciple, giving him the Dharma name Hui Ke. Fifteen years later, Bodhidharma had passed away, and Hui Ke became the second Abbot of Shaolin Temple. He had five favored disciples in order: Hui Yuan, Hui Shi, Hui Nu, Hui Ren, and Hui Kong. They all practiced martial arts, each with their own unique skills. Abbot Hui Ke devoted himself to deep meditation and Zen practice, becoming the scripture master for the current Empress, often going to the palace to lecture her. The King of Luoyang, Gao Qi, was an old acquaintance of the Abbot and came to play chess with him. Abbot Hui Ke mentioned that recently there had been much worldly distraction, making it difficult for his disciples to focus on their meditation. The King of Luoyang said that the court was expanding the harem, urgently recruiting young women from all over to send to the palace, and it was hard to defy the imperial command. According to the previous dynasty’s regulations, the harem was already excessively vast, but now with frequent changes in power and much warfare, who wouldn't want to indulge in pleasure if they gained the world?
