At this moment, in the mountainous retreat, Sister Sun watched what was happening in the Buddha Hall through the monitor and said in exasperation, “Ma’am, this Jing Qing, he’s even trying to persuade Miss Ito to become a monk, isn’t this a serious runaround?”
An Chengjing smiled and said, “There is no need to be anxious, after Jingqing’s enlightenment, the Buddha’s heart has become a reality, under the heavens, what he cares about most is the Buddha, the Dharma, and the multitude of beings, and Nana Ito is already extremely enlightened and wise, not to mention Jingqing, but if it were a Taoist great master, he is afraid that he would also want to take her in as a disciple, or else why do you think that I want to allow her to open up the enlightenment of the Dharma? This kind of genius, it would be a waste if she always lingers outside the door, but with my understanding of Nanako, even if Jing Qing were to morally kidnap her with seven billion people from all over the world, she would never agree to it, and you don’t have to worry about it even more.”
Sure enough.
Ito Nayoko subconsciously took half a step back and said somewhat apologetically, “I …… already have someone in my heart, how can I convert to Buddhism ……”
An Chengjing in front of the monitor smiled, “Sister Sun, notice the details? Nai Nai Zi was still calling herself a disciple in front of Jing Qing before, but now she directly changed it to ‘I’, instantly drawing a line with Jing Qing.”
Sister Sun nodded and laughed, “If it wasn’t for the fact that she was begging Jing Qing, Miss Ito was afraid that she would have already seized the door and fled.”
At this time, Venerable Jing Qing, who also realised that Naiko Ito was very wary of converting to Buddhism, said seriously, “Scholar, love is important, but wouldn’t it be more valuable if you could universalise all sentient beings? The Buddha said that giving up the small self to achieve the big self, giving up the small love to achieve the big love, rescuing the suffering, saving the suffering, and universalising all sentient beings, this is the supreme realm that has been pursued by all the monks and great masters over the thousands of years! Besides, the monk also said that he is a Buddhist believer, don’t you want to do something for all living beings?”
Ito Nayoko pursed her lips and said timidly, “All beings have their own destinies, I’m a woman, I don’t have the lofty ambitions to ferry all beings, I only want to take care of my own loved ones and my own sweetheart, and if I can do this well, then I’ll already be ten out of ten.”
Venerable Jing Qing stifled his wrists and said, “In this world, those who have such wisdom roots as Shi Shi, I’m afraid that one hand can’t come up with it, if Shi Shi successfully opens up her mind, she thinks that she will be able to make a deeper understanding and perception of the Buddhist teachings that have been passed down in the world, if Shi Shi wastes this kind of talent, it would be a great loss to all the disciples of the Buddhist sect.”
Ito Nayoko shook her head and said, “I believe in Buddhism because I feel that Buddhism can make people good and give them inner peace, and at the same time, it can also provide an additional spiritual support, just like I go to a restaurant for the sake of eating, you can’t have me stay in the restaurant to be a cook, right?”
