Chapter 5998

At this time, in the mountain courtyard, Sister Sun watched everything happening in the Buddhist hall through the monitor, and said angrily:

“Madam, this Jingqing actually wants to persuade Miss Ito to become a monk. Isn’t this a serious deviation?”

Margaret smiled and said: “Don’t worry. After Jingqing became enlightened, he had a Buddha mind. In the whole world, what he cares about most is the Buddha, the Dharma, and all living beings.”

“And Nanako is already very understanding and wise. Don’t say It’s Jingqing. If I were a Taoist master, I’d probably want to accept her as my disciple.”

“If such a genius is always lingering outside the door, it will be a waste of natural resources, but with my understanding of Nanako understanding, even if Jingqing uses seven billion people in the world to kidnap her morally, she will never agree, and you don’t have to worry.”

Sure enough.

Nanako subconsciously took a half step back and said apologetically:

“I…I already have someone I love, how can I convert to Buddhism…”

Margaret in front of the monitor smiled and said: “Sister Sun, have you noticed the details?”

“Nanako before, called herself a disciple in front of Jing Qing,”

“But now she directly changed it to ‘I’, and this immediately drew a clear line with Jing Qing.”

Sister Sun nodded and said with a smile: “If she hadn’t asked Jing Qing for help, Miss Ito would have taken over the door and escaped.”

At this time, Master Jingqing also realized that Nanako was very wary of converting to Buddhism, so he said seriously:

“Devotee, love is important, but wouldn’t it be more valuable if it could save all sentient beings?”

“The Buddha said to give up the ego. To achieve the great self, to give up small loves to achieve great love, to save the suffering, and to save all sentient beings,”

“This is the highest realm that eminent monks and great virtues have pursued for thousands of years! Moreover, the devotee also said that she is a Buddhist believer, don’t you want to do something for all sentient beings?”

Nanako pursed her lips and said timidly: “All sentient beings have their own destiny. I am just one of them, and I have no lofty ambition to save all sentient beings.”

“I just want to take good care of my relatives and my sweetheart. If this can be done well, it will be perfect.”

Master Jingqing said sadly: “In this world, there are devotees with such wisdom, I am afraid that I can’t even get it together with one hand.”

“Buddhism can lead to a deeper understanding.”

“If the devotee wastes this talent, it will be a big loss for all Buddhist disciples.”

Nanako shook her head and said: “I believe in Buddhism because I feel that Buddhism can make people kind person bring peace of mind, and at the same time, it can also give you more spiritual sustenance.”

“Just like I go to a restaurant to eat, you can’t force me to stay in the restaurant and be a cook, right?”

Master Jingqing said quickly: “Amitabha, The poor monk did not ask the benefactor to stay, but persuaded the benefactor to stay.”

“The benefactor just used a restaurant as an analogy. Although the logic is similar, the realm and meaning are not necessarily the same.”

“A restaurant can make people full of food. If a good chef has developed A good recipe can make people eat with balanced nutrition, even make people feel happy, and sublimate their taste buds.”

“It may also have the effect of strengthening the body, curing diseases, and saving lives. However, a good restaurant and a good recipe do not have the ability to save all sentient beings.”

Speaking of this, Master Jingqing added: “Actually, every religion has its own classics.”

“The reason why it has a long history and far-reaching influence from the era of slash-and-burn farming to the modern era of advanced science and technology is that the underlying logic is a universal value established on the basis of people-centeredness.”

“It explains the deeper and more original human nature.”

After that, Master Jingqing asked Nanako: “Does the devotee know why modern technology is so advanced?”

“Today, when productivity has surpassed that of the ancients, many people still regard scriptures from thousands of years ago as beacons on the road of life?”

Nanako shook her head in confusion: “I… didn’t think about it carefully…”

Master Jingqing said: “Actually, the difference between ancient people and modern people is not only that the development of science and technology and the broadening of their horizons are much worse than those of today’s people,”

“But also means that the lives and thoughts of ancient people were simpler and purer, and they were closer to the origin of human beings.”

“They spent a lifetime thinking about one or two philosophical issues, and are not affected by today’s prosperous world of materialistic desires.”

“This makes their depth in philosophical issues far beyond the impetuous and utilitarian modern people.

“This is why all the great thinkers from the East and the West appeared around 400 BC to 300 BC. In the East, there are Laozi, Confucius, and Mencius, while in the West there are Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle.”

“The birth of Buddha was one or two hundred years earlier than these Eastern and Western philosophers;”

“These wise men among the ancients were geniuses with great wisdom. But when such an unparalleled genius spends his whole life focusing on thinking about the underlying logic of life and writing the thoughts into a book, this book has become a classic in the true sense.”

“No matter how society develops, people are still human, and the more society develops the more people’s energy is scattered. Therefore, the more society develops, the more it highlights the profound philosophy of the ancients.”

“This is why believers of the three major religions have always regarded the scriptures written more than two thousand years ago as beacons on the road of life.”

“Countless people have repeatedly studied scriptures and works from more than two thousand years ago, just to get more inspiration from them.”

Nanako pursed her lips, looked down at her toes, and then looked at Master Jingqing, thinking for a long time not knowing what to say, so then she slowly raised her thumb and said timidly: “Si… Si Guoyi…”

Si Guoyi is the pronunciation of sugoi in Japanese, which roughly means: “Wow, so awesome.”

Master Jingqing was a top student before he became a monk.

In addition, he had already been enlightened and traveled around the world for many years.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he has learned a lot.

Naturally, he can understand what Nanako said.

Thinking that she had said so much sincerely, Nanako only returned one Si Guoyi.

Even though she was a qualified mage, her mentality was a little unbalanced at the moment.

While trying to calm down, she recited silently: “Amitabha, sin, sin, sin…”

When Margaret and Sister Sun saw this scene, both of them couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Margaret couldn’t help but sigh: “She is really smart. She has been here for so long. It is impossible for her to subconsciously say a word in Japanese.”

“She must have done it on purpose. You see Jingqing, the Buddha’s heart is affected.”

Sister Sun smiled and shook her head:

“I don’t know why, but I suddenly liked Nanako…”

Margaret’s eyelashes trembled slightly, but she said nothing.

At this time, Master Jingqing tried hard to adjust his mentality and said:

“I wonder if the devotee has discovered that with the continuous development of social productivity, today’s human beings are getting further and further away from their origins,”

“And their creativity in some fields has long been lost.”

“Not as good as their predecessors, just like there are so many pianists in the world, but no one can match Chopin, Beethoven, or Tchaikovsky.”

“Even if two hundred years pass, pianists two hundred years from now will still play their works;”

“In addition, the understanding of today’s human beings is much inferior to that of the ancients.”

“When the impetuous and utilitarian modern people go back to study the ancient classics, it is difficult for their understanding to keep up with the ancients.”

“Therefore, many modern people look at religious scriptures written more than 2,000 years ago,

And their awkward and difficult words make it impossible for them to understand the principles contained in them.”

“At times like this, we need people like us to let go of our emotions and desires…”

Nanako suddenly raised a hand and said cautiously:

“Sorry to interrupt, but I want to ask, the ‘we’ you are talking about, does not include me?”

Master Jingqing took a breath, nodded, and said:

“Excluding you, the poor monk refers to all the people like the poor monk.”

Nanako stroked her heart, and after taking a long breath, she sighed:

“That’s good, that’s good… You continue…”

Master Jingqing lowered his head and was silent for a long time.

Then he slowly raised his head and said with some dejection:

“What the poor monk wants to say is that the world needs people like the poor monk to comprehend the Buddha’s scriptures wholeheartedly.”

“After understanding the mysteries, and then using the language and methods that modern people can understand, explain the classics to them,”

“So that they can understand, comprehend, and make the right choice before the big questions.”

“Every religion needs something similar. The key to the role is that mages, priests, and imams all exist for this purpose.”

“Our goals are the same through different paths.”

“We all hope to save all sentient beings and allow everyone to find solutions to their problems…”

After hearing this, Nanako put her hands on the chin, clapped very slightly and carefully, and said with admiration: “Si Guoyi…”
