Chapter 2982

At this time, in the mountain courtyard, Sister Sun looked at everything happening in the Buddhist hall through the monitor and said angrily: "Madam, this Jingqing is actually persuading Miss Ito to become a monk. Isn't this seriously deviating?"

An Chengxi smiled and said: "No need to worry, after Jingqing opens his mind and realizes the Tao, his Buddhist heart has been formed. In the world, what he cares about most is the Buddha, Buddhism, and all living beings. And Ito Nanako is extremely talented and wise. Not to mention Jingqing, even if it were a great virtue of the Taoist sect, I am afraid he would want to accept her as a disciple. Otherwise, why do you think I want her to open her mind and realize the Tao? This kind of genius, if she is always wandering outside the door, is a waste of heaven. However, based on my understanding of Nanako, even if Jingqing takes 7 billion people in the world to morally kidnap her, she will never agree. You don't have to worry."

Sure enough.

Ito Nanako took half a step back subconsciously and said apologetically: "I... I already have someone in my heart, how can I convert to Buddhism..."

An Chengxi, who was in front of the monitor, smiled: "Sister Sun, noticed the details? Nanako called herself a disciple in front of Jingqing before, and now she directly changed to 'I', instantly drawing a line with Jingqing."

Sister Sun nodded and smiled: "If it weren't for asking Jingqing, Miss Ito would probably have fled."

At this time, Master Jingqing also realized that Ito Nanako was very vigilant about converting to Buddhism, so he said seriously: "Donor, love is important, but isn't it more valuable if you can save all living beings? The Buddha said to abandon the small self to achieve the big self, abandon small love to achieve great love, save the suffering, and save all living beings. This is the highest realm pursued by generations of high monks and great virtues for thousands of years! Moreover, the donor also said that she is a believer in Buddhism, don't you want to do something for all living beings?"

Ito Nanako pursed her lips and said timidly: "All living beings have their own destiny. I am just a woman, without the great ambition to save all living beings, I just want to take care of my relatives and the person in my heart. If this point can be done well, it is already perfect."

Master Jingqing regretted: "In this world, those with the wisdom of the donor are afraid that one hand can't count them. If the donor successfully opens her mind, she will surely have a deeper understanding and realization of the Buddhism passed down in the world. If the donor wastes this talent, it will be a big loss for all Buddhist disciples."

Ito Nanako shook her head: "I believe in Buddha because I feel that Buddhism can make people kind, make people's hearts peaceful, and also have a spiritual sustenance. It's like I go to a restaurant to eat, you can't force me to stay in the restaurant to be a chef, right?"

Master Jingqing hurriedly said: "Amitabha, I am not asking the donor to stay, but persuading the donor to stay. The donor just used a restaurant as a metaphor. Although the logic is the same, the realm and meaning are not really the same. Restaurants can make people full, and good chefs, if they research good recipes, can make people eat nutritionally balanced, even happy, and sublimate their taste buds. It is said that there are also effects of strengthening the body and curing diseases. But good restaurants and good recipes do not have the ability to save all living beings."

After speaking, Master Jingqing added: "Actually, every religion has its own classic works. The reason why it can be passed down for a long time and have a far-reaching influence from the agricultural era of slash-and-burn cultivation to the modern era of developed technology is that its underlying logic is based on people-oriented universal values. It expounds the deeper and more original human nature."

After speaking, Master Jingqing asked Nanako: "Does the donor know why, even though modern technology is so developed and productivity has completely surpassed the ancients, many people still regard the scriptures of thousands of years ago as lighthouses on the road of life?"

Ito Nanako shook her head confusedly: "I... haven't thought about it carefully..."

Master Jingqing said: "Actually, the difference between the ancients and the moderns, besides the development of technology and the openness of vision, is also that the life and thoughts of the ancients were simpler and purer, and closer to the origin of people."

"They can spend a lifetime thinking about a few philosophical problems, and will not be affected by the prosperous world of material desires today, which makes their depth in philosophical problems far exceed that of impetuous and utilitarian modern people."

"This is also why the masters of Eastern and Western thought all 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;"

"And the birth of the 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, and when such geniuses who were not born in the world used their lifelong energy to think about the underlying logic of life without distraction, and wrote their insights into books, this book became a classic in the true sense."

"No matter how society develops, people are still people, and the more society develops, the more scattered people's energy is. Therefore, the more society develops, the more it highlights that the philosophy of the ancients is the most profound. This is why the believers of the three major religions have always regarded the scriptures of more than two thousand years ago as lighthouses on the road of life. Countless people repeatedly study the scriptures and works of more than two thousand years ago, just to get more inspiration from them."

Ito Nanako pursed her lips, looked at her toes, then looked at Master Jingqing, thought for a long time and didn't know what to say, so she slowly gave a thumbs up and said timidly: "Su... Sugoi..."

Sugoi is the pronunciation of Japanese sugoi, which roughly means: wow, so amazing.

Master Jingqing was a top student before becoming a monk, and he had already opened his mind, and he had traveled all over the world for many years. It is no exaggeration to say that he is learned, so he naturally heard what the Japanese soft girl Ito Nanako said.

Thinking that he had said so much earnestly, Ito Nanako only returned a Sugoi, Rao is a high monk who has realized the Tao, and his mentality is a bit unbalanced at this moment.

He adjusted his mentality while silently reciting: "Amitabha, sin, sin..."

And An Chengxi and Sister Sun saw this scene, and both couldn't help laughing. An Chengxi couldn't help but sigh: "She is really smart. She has been in China for so long. She couldn't say a Japanese sentence subconsciously. She must have done it on purpose. Look at Jingqing, his Buddhist heart is affected."

Sister Sun shook her head and smiled: "I don't know why, but I suddenly like Miss Ito very much..."

An Chengxi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she didn't speak.

At this time, Master Jingqing added: "Does the donor find that with the continuous development of social productivity, modern people are getting further and further away from the origin, and their creativity in some fields is no longer as good as their predecessors? Just like there are so many pianists in the world, but no one can reach Chopin, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky. Even if it is two hundred years later, the pianists two hundred years later will still perform their works;"

"Besides that, modern humans also have much less understanding than the ancients. When impetuous and utilitarian modern people look back at the classics of the ancients, their understanding is difficult to keep in sync with the ancients."

"Therefore, many modern people look at the religious scriptures of more than two thousand years ago, and their raw and difficult-to-understand words make them unable to understand the truth contained in them at all."

"In this case, we need people like us to put down the seven emotions and six desires, and go..."

Ito Nanako suddenly raised a hand and said cautiously: "Sorry to interrupt, I want to ask, you said this 'we', does it not include me?"

Master Jingqing took a breath and nodded: "It does not include, what I said is everyone who is the same as me."

Ito Nanako touched her heart, let out a long breath and sighed: "That's good, that's good... you continue..."

Master Jingqing lowered his head and was silent for a long time, then slowly raised his head, and said with some decadence: "What I want to say is that this world needs people like me to study the Buddha's classics wholeheartedly. After understanding the mysteries, use language and methods that modern people can understand to explain the classics to them, let them understand, feel, and make correct choices in the face of right and wrong. Every religion needs a key role similar to this. Priests, pastors, and imams all exist for this purpose. Our goals are the same, hoping to save all living beings and let everyone find a way to solve problems..."

Hearing this, Ito Nanako put her hands on her chin, clapped her hands very slightly and very carefully, and said with an admiring face: "Sugoi..."
