Chapter 1914

~2 min read 399 words

"Although you saved me, you big monk have something wrong with your brain. I will absolutely never believe your words. I will always believe in the Buddha's teachings."

The little monk stared fixedly at Fahai, speaking very seriously.

"Suit yourself."

Fahai said lightly, no longer arguing with him.

This little monk was just a mere mortal, chanting and copying scriptures every day, thinking that one day he could become a Buddha.

However, Fahai had seen what kind of person Rulai was. Although Fahai believed that what was written in the scriptures was true, he had met Rulai, and he didn't like Rulai very much.

This Journey to the West Kalpa, speaking of it, was because Tang Seng's previous life, Jin Chanzi, took a nap while Rulai was preaching, so he had to experience the cycle of reincarnation in the mortal world. It involved the Heavenly Court, the Demon Realm, the Dragon Clan, and even him, a mortal who had cultivated into an immortal through his own true ability.

That Zhu Bajie and Wujing committed small mistakes and were sent onto the dangerous path of the journey west. That Wukong was originally a piece of heaven-mending stone left by Nuwa over billions of years; he could have been carefree, a happy demon. And he himself had cultivated Buddhist Dharma and techniques his whole life, from an ordinary mortal to a powerful cultivator, only to eventually step into this muddy water.

Rulai, you are so amazing, you are so high and mighty. With a movement of your lips and a wave of your hand, you can rewrite the fates of so many people. By what right?

During these kalpas, the six travelers suffered so much, were on the verge of death several times, and almost died, yet Rulai never came to take a look from beginning to end.

And "My Buddha is merciful"—Fahai often doubted whether this Buddhist Dharma was really written by Rulai.

He says all living beings are equal, so why do the Western Buddhas honor him? He says everything has cause and effect; is it cause and effect that these six travelers fell into this dangerous path? He says all appearances are empty and everything is illusory, so why must one cultivate to become a Buddha? Isn't becoming a Buddha your ultimate goal?

And what if you become a Buddha? Is that so amazing? ===== CHAPTER 1916 =====
