Get the Flash Player to see this player. Sample sentence now uses 方丈 (abbot, head monk) as the subject of the sentence. But the audio still uses 道師 (Taoist priest) which appeared in the older version.
This sentence may be used in both Cantonese and Mandarin/Standard written Chinese. As 圓寂 (in the middle of the sentence) is a Buddhist term, I think 方丈 is corre Level: 3 |
