Boris, who appeared on MBN's 'Teukjong Sesang' broadcast on the 9th, is known as the guardian of Geumseong Mountain Fortress.
That day, Boris prepared a vegetable curry and shared it with others. He said he once fell in love with Venerable Cheongsan. She changed her religious order to marry him, they had three children, and Boris later ordained as a monk himself.
Venerable Cheongsan passed away in 2014. Boris wiped away tears as he said, \"We all move toward death, but at the time I couldn't think about that. Thinking about it now is painful. I try to forget by staying busy and focusing on other things.\"
He said Cheongsan suddenly collapsed one day and refused medical treatment, and she died about a month later. She disliked hospitals and angrily insisted no one take her there. In the end she passed away while lying down. \"It was very hard for me, and I think the children suffered a lot as well,\" Boris said.
Afterward, two of their sons came to visit Boris. He cooked jjajang instant noodles, a childhood favorite of the three siblings. Their mother said, \"I like being here. I want to keep living.\" The sons replied that they worry because she is elderly and has only one lung, but added that how she faces the end is her decision and they will continue to support her.
Boris said he had been close to death, but the monk saved him, and he considers the monk his benefactor. \"I am always grateful. If I live with joy, I believe he will be happy watching over me,\" he said with a smile.
