Full-time sword repair

The annual "company" summary meeting of Buddhism lasted for a whole day, and Lin Jichen felt sleepy after listening to it.

But fortunately, the summary meeting is over, and the 'year-end bonuses' of each branch have been settled. All the Buddhist cultivators who have received the awards are smiling and obviously very happy.

After the annual meeting, Lin Jichen thought that the other side was about to start discussing the punishment of Jingyi Shenni, but to his disappointment, the next step was actually a discussion on Buddhism.

That is, the three monks and one nun sitting on the high platform in the center began to explain Buddhism to the Buddhist cultivators below.

"All dharmas arise due to causes and conditions, and all dharmas cease due to causes and conditions. I, the great ascetic Buddha, always say this."

"If there is a cause, there must be a result. Before you can achieve Buddhahood, you must first form a good relationship."

“Anger is the root of all evil, and patience is the first of all blessings.”

"There is no end to the sea of ​​suffering, but when you turn around, you can put down your butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately."

...

Four Buddhist giants began to teach the Dharma to their disciples, and everyone listened attentively.

Like green shoots longing for rain and dew, they listened obsessively, not daring to miss a word.

Only Lin Jichen, who was pretending to be a monk, felt bored and his days were like years.

But in order to avoid being discovered, he still pretended to be as serious as everyone else.

He thought that as long as he acted well, he could get away with it.

However, the good times did not last long. He did not expect that the four people were not satisfied after talking for a long time, so they directly entered the role of 'teacher' and began to randomly check and question the disciples below.

Lin Jichen couldn't help but feel nervous when he found out, and quickly lowered his head with a guilty conscience, for fear of being called out.

But then I thought about it. Based on my rich experience in class when I was a student, the more timid and evasive students are, the easier it is to attract the teacher’s attention!

So Lin Jichen immediately changed his strategy, straightened his chest and raised his head, with a look of confidence in his eyes, almost writing the words "I am a top student and I am not afraid" on his forehead.

Sure enough, the four Buddhist sect leaders conducted random checks several times, and Lin Jichen escaped safely.

Just when he was secretly feeling proud that he had managed to get through it, the skinny old monk with a white beard sitting in the middle happened to glance over here.

Lin Jichen had a mentality of never giving in, his eyes were sincere, and his face remained motionless with a harmless expression.

But what I never expected was that the eminent monk originally wanted to name Shengyuan, and Shengyuan also wanted to get up with an expectant look on his face.

However, the eminent monk glanced around and discovered Lin Jichen sitting on the next floor.

After seeing Lin Jichen, the monk's eyes lit up, he also noticed his broken arm, and he immediately became interested.

"This young monk, which temple do you come from?"

Lin Jichen was shaken by the eminent monk's words. He looked around, and finally looked at the other party with suspicious eyes.

The eminent monk smiled and nodded: "Yes, you are the one I am asking about."

Lin Jichen felt a chill in his heart and thought to himself, that's terrible, why did he still get hit?

He stood up, his mind racing with how to answer.

All the Buddhist personnel in the entire Bahuang were gathered here. He said that anyone would be found to be lying immediately, so he would definitely not be able to answer directly.

Lin Jichen had an idea and looked at the eminent monk pretending to be calm, and replied calmly: "The young monk comes from Buddhism. Any temple in the world is a Buddhist hall. To the young monk, they are all the same. Why should the abbot stick to which one?"

After saying this, the scene suddenly became quiet.

All the Buddhist cultivators looked at him with shock, surprise, admiration, dissatisfaction, etc.

There is no other reason. The other juniors named are not respectful to the four bosses. Whatever the bosses say is what they say. How dare they, the juniors, to refute.

A casual word from the big guys may be an opportunity for them, and it may be a vane that guides the progress of your Taoist heart, so who will refute it.

But this kid was different. He didn't take the usual path when he came up. Not only did he not answer the big boss's questions, he also gave the big boss a counter-education. This is simply incredible.

In short, Lin Jichen's words have already become the focus of the audience.

Lin Jichen knew it himself, but he knew that if he didn't say so, his identity would be exposed, so he could only act like a dead horse.

After the white-bearded monk heard Lin Jichen's words, instead of being angry, he nodded in approval and said with a smile: "You are right, but the poor monk was negligent."

After the eminent monk finished speaking, he began to give Lin Jichen questions, saying, "What do you think is a Buddha?"

Lin Jichen fell silent, and all the disciples present were also lost in thought.

The eminent monk smiled and said to everyone: "If you have anything you want to say, please speak up and speak freely."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shengyuan stood up confidently and replied to the eminent monk: "My disciples believe that the one who saves people is a Buddha! Our Buddhist sect emphasizes on saving all sentient beings, saving people in danger, and saving one life is better than creating seven levels. The pagoda, so my disciples believe that the one who saves people is the Buddha!"

The whole room applauded as soon as this was said, and everyone nodded in agreement.

However, the eminent monk was the only one who did not acknowledge it, but said with a smile: "Although your answer is good, it is not the real answer. To borrow what the young monk just said, it is too rigid and one-sided, and it is not the truth."

Shengyuan was stunned when he heard the words. Although he was a little unwilling, he still humbly bowed and saluted, and then sat down and went back.

The eminent monk asked other disciples, and many disciples stood up and gave their answers.

Some say that the person with profound Buddhist teachings is the Buddha, some say that the person with compassion is the Buddha, and some say that the person who does good deeds and accumulates virtue is the Buddha, and so on.

Everyone's answers were varied and everyone expressed their own opinions.

But the eminent monks were not satisfied and shook their heads.

Finally seeing no one answer, he turned his attention to Lin Jichen again.

"Do you have the answer?"

Lin Jichen originally didn't want to answer, but seeing that he seemed to be very interested in him and seemed to ask the question before he gave up, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer.

He pondered for a moment, and then replied loudly: "The young monk believes that all living beings are Buddhas!"

"Oh?"

The eminent monk obviously did not expect this answer from Lin Jichen, and he immediately became interested and said, "Why?"

Before Lin Jichen could answer, Shengyuan immediately stood up and retorted: "Disciple thinks this is wrong. If all living beings are Buddhas, doesn't it mean that those evil cultivators are also Buddhas?"

"That's it."

"It's nonsense. All living beings are Buddhas, so who do we think they are?"

"He must have answered casually and didn't understand at all."

"Haha, that's ridiculous."

...

Everyone was talking a lot, saying that Lin Jichen's words were completely wrong and even ridiculous!

However, Lin Jichen did not become frightened because of this. He raised the corner of his mouth and replied: "Buddha has no form at all, and regards all living beings as Buddhas. Those who have Buddha in their hearts have enlightenment through Buddha, so all living beings in the world can become Buddhas, as long as they devote themselves to Buddha!" "

After Lin Jichen finished speaking, the whole place fell into silence again.

Only the white-bearded monk laughed, and his laughter seemed particularly abrupt in this golden palace.
