An English sub excerpt from the South Korean drama,

“Partners for Justice,” episode 11.

Stellar Hwag: “The meat here just got out of rigor mortis, so it’s super delicious.”

Cha Soo-Ho: “What? Rigor mortis?”

Stellar Hwag:  “It’s too tough right after slaughter.  But if it’s too ripe, it starts to decompose.  Beef ribs are perfect when the temperature and time are right.”

…

Stellar Hwag: “Ripening and decomposition straddle a very thin line. Got it?”

“Mind is a river of psychological phenomena that is always flowing. In this river, the arising, duration, and cessation of any phenomenon is always linked with the arising, duration, and cessation of all other phenomena. To know how to identify psychological phenomena as they arise and develop is an important part of meditation practice”
