This narrative describes a young boy named A-Xi who grew up in a martial arts center in a Taiwanese town, experiencing constant nasal bleeding despite various remedies. A suggestion that his illness might be karma-related and linked to a vow of vegetarianism led him to pray for healing at a temple. Following his vow, he found an article about a surgical solution for his condition and underwent the procedure. During the surgery, A-Xi experienced a vivid hallucination of piles of clam shells, reminding him of his childhood habit of eating raw clams and leading to a profound realization about the connection between his past actions and his current suffering. After the surgery and a difficult recovery, A-Xi began a vegetarian life, understanding his experience not as punishment, but as a spiritual awakening and a commitment stemming from his encounter with karma.
