Mnemonic


You ordered delivery 披萨 pizza that has finally arrived at your door. You open the door and before you is a 萨 bodhisattva that has a Buddha cape 披 draped over the shoulders holding your 披萨 pizza. You take it from him and tip him a couple dollars. When you finally go sit down and take a bite of a slice you find... it's actually pretty mediocre 披萨 pizza.
