Sorry, but I forgot to mention this..the great moment of relief comes when we cut back to Leslie in the room with the image of his ex. Also, his realization that there isn't always something better on the other side of the n mountain, hence the contrast with the Beggar King, who's perfectly satisfied with his lot. The exquisite symmetry is that they both achieve apotheosis at each other's hands...that's the smile at the end of the film..a brief flicker of the past/future (?) battle.

The Buddhist saying which prefaces the film is his thesis..the film which follows is his argument.

Oh yes..also he picks up the egg before he leaves his inn.( sorry for my fractured post..I haven't seen the film in some time, and details are only slowly coming back)
