Chapter 597
“Master, you’re making fun of me,” Lin Feng smiled wryly . Ancestor Fo slowly stood up .
“I am sure you didn’t come to me without an ulterior motive . How may I help you?” asked Ancestor Fo, smiling kindly . He waved and pointed at the inside of a building .
“Little Chi, keep guarding the entrance . Since the leader is here, he must have important things to ask me,” Ancestor Fo told Tian Chi, before heading inside the building with Lin Feng . Lin Feng called Ancestor Fo “Master” and Ancestor Fo called him “Leader Lin” because Lin Feng had the highest position in Tiantai . Even Ancestor Fo had to show some respect to Lin Feng .
“Leader Lin, how may I help you?” asked Ancestor Fo, smiling and playing with his mala (Buddhist prayer beads) .
Lin Feng nodded and bowed . He asked, “Master, I’d like to ask you some questions about the Path of Buddhism . ”
“Oh? Hehe, Leader Lin, you must be joking . There isn’t only one path of Buddhism, but I’m a Buddhist cultivator and you’re a demon cultivator . It raises fundamental questions about cause and effect . I’m not sure I can really help you?” said Ancestor Fo . He sounded reserved, but Lin Feng could see that Ancestor Fo truly was reluctant .
However, Lin Feng didn’t intend to leave without asking his questions . He wasn’t in a rush anyway, he had six months to become strong . It wasn’t a short time .
“Master, I think that Buddhism cultivation and demon cultivation are the same . One path, one motivation . Both have the same purpose, to understand life and death . Demon cultivators also revere life, death, and reincarnation . What is so strange?” asked Lin Feng . He didn’t ask his questions bluntly, he started slowly getting to the point to arouse Ancestor Fo’s curiosity and interest .
Ancestor Fo already had a deep knowledge on the path of Buddhism, but what Lin Feng told him did arouse his curiosity, because not everyone knew that . It proved that Lin Feng already had an advanced knowledge of the Three Paths .
Ancestor Fo’s curiosity and interest were definitely aroused . He looked at Lin Feng and smiled, “Leader Lin, even though you’re right, the three concepts of Buddhism, the Path, and Demonism are three different things, it’s better not to talk about the Paths . ”
“Ancestor Fo, I cannot agree with you . You talked about cause and effect, I came to ask questions about my Path; that’s the cause, the effect is the result . If you don’t help me, you go against the law of cause and effect, and you are therefore in contradiction with yourself . ”
“Hehe, Leader Lin, you’re joking . The law of cause and effect you’re talking about isn’t the same law of cause and effect Buddhist cultivators talk about,” Ancestor Fo smiled .
Lin Feng nodded and smiled, “Alright, Master, let’s not talk about cause and effect, then . Let’s talk at the macroscopic scale, the world is a macrocosm . Even though the Paths can point to different concepts, intrinsically, they point to the same things . Buddhist cultivators are extremely kind and generous; if you don’t help me, then you are going against your own convictions, right?” Lin Feng conjectured .
Ancestor Fo had to reply to that question . If he didn’t reply, maybe it wouldn’t have any impact on Lin Feng’s life, but for Ancestor Fo it would be negative . He was a Buddhist cultivator and he was supposed to be kind and generous .
Ancestor Fo sighed . “Little boy, alright, go ahead and ask me . ” Lin Feng’s statement wasn’t groundless . If he refused to help Lin Feng, then he would feel guilty and it would go against his own beliefs .
“Thank you very much, Master,” Lin Feng said, bowing hand over fist . Ancestor Fo waved and said indifferently, “So, what do you want to ask me?”
“Master, I want to ask you, what does ‘One flower, one world . One Sutra, one Bodhi’ mean?” Lin Feng asked solemnly .
Ancestor Fo was surprised and stared Lin Feng in the eyes . He slowly replied, “It’s the most succinct path of Buddhism . Only high-level Buddhism cultivators can understand that concept .
