In this chapter, we learn that the teacher is going to disappear, because he is no longer able to play the violin. He wants to see how he plays the violin with his ears no longer functioning. He tells us that the real ghost of him is now that he has died in an automobile accident. He says that after the accident someone came to his side and "licked" his body, feeling like someone was trying to pull him. The teacher asks him to lead the violin practice, but he says that he lost his violin in an accident. The compass is responding, and the teacher says that the ghost is already dead. He explains that the violin is a piece of you that can't be left behind, so he has made you a ghost by writing the heart sutra on it. In order to make the ghost invisible, he says, the ghost has to be willing to accept the influence of the "heart-sutra" . The dead cannot stay. He is dead! He is finally dead! Everyone, everyone, rest in peace!
