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 be 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 ept 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 rtives 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 simr, 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 bnced 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 ssics.”
“The reason why it has a long history and far-reaching influence from the era of sh-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 peoplecenteredness.”
“It exins 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 to, 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 be a ssic 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 unbnced 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 butugh 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 eyshes 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 y 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 ssics, 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 toprehend
the Buddha’s scriptures wholeheartedly.”
“After understanding the mysteries, and then using thenguage and methods that modern people
can understand, exin the ssics to them,”
“So that they can understand,prehend, and make the right choice before the big questions.”
“Every religion needs something simr. 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, pped very slightly and carefully, and said
with admiration: “Si Guoyi…”
