No rent. And if we lose, I’ll take the responsibility. So there were three or four of us. Four of us. Three sisters and one male teacher partnered up and we were really united in effort. […] It was so popular that there was one man who came in, ate, then rode off on his bike. Then he came back and said, “What kind of restaurant is this? I had to stand and wait, then got seated, then waited again just to get a bowl of noodles. And no one took money. I could’ve walked out and without paying. But who would eat without paying at a vegan restaurant? I came back to pay you, ladies!” Master arranged for it to be that popular, Master. And the money, it all went to relief efforts. Nothing left.) Selling so good that the temples nearby opened up [restaurants] too? (Yes.) Well, that’s good. That’s good. […]
