Liu: If you hadn't come today, I wouldn't have fallen. It's karma.
Xu: It was an accident
Liu: "No. A monk had taught me.
The fabric of existence is composed of a myriad of karmic threads.
Nothing exists in and of itself. Everything is connected.
For example. If I had not come to this village, i wouldn't have met Ayu.
If her husband had not left, I would not have married her.
If I had not gone to the store, I would not seen the two criminals.
And they wouldn't have died.
Then you wouldn't have come here.
No one truly has free will.
When one man sins, we all share his sins.
We are all accomplices."
Xu: "You are saying that a killer is a killer because he doesn't have free will when he kills.
He was conditioned to the act of killing.
And when he kills, we all share his sins.
We are all accomplices."
Liu: "I was not thinking of killers."
(from the martial arts film "Wu Xia" starring Donnie Yen, Takeshi Kaneshiro and Tang Wei)
