"Monk Beopjeong,... famous for his pursuit of ``non-possession,'' wrote in an essay that he felt anxious due to an orchid he got from an acquaintance. Living in a humble cottage on a remote mountain, he began worrying about the condition of the plant when he was outside the house, mindful of various factors needed for the plant's survival such as water and an ideal temperature. Recognizing that the orchid had become a source of mental agony, he decided to return it and at last found his equilibrium."
