Sacred Tree

Sulking with the severe refusal of Fujitsubo, Genji went to Unnlinnin Temple where either an older brother or her mother, Koi, presided. Borrowing the uncle's cell for fasting and meditation, he stayed for several days. He gathered erudite monks and listened to their discussions. The color of falling leaves was beautiful. He read the sixty Tendai sutras and reflected on what Fujitsubo thought and on himself. When he returned from the temple, even the lowest people came to see him off.
