Nun love

For those who want more zen content from women: "101 zen stories" #5

20 monks and one nun, who was named Eshun were practicing meditation with a certain master. Eshun was pretty even though her head was shaved and her dress plain. Several monks secretly fell in love with her. One of them wrote her a love letter, insisting upon a private meeting. Eshun did not reply. The following day the master gave a lecture to the group, and when it was over, Eshun rose. Addressing the one who had written her, she said: "if you really love me so much, come and embrace me now."

Seems to say something about shame and love, but I'm not sure what. Anyway, enjoy:)
