"You seem to be avoiding my question?"

Facing the other party's embarrassment, Chu Yin smiled with relief, shrugged and said, "If someone who doesn't understand asks this, I can understand it. But I heard that Buddhism emphasizes cause and effect. Why do you ignore the cause and effect of these things?"

cause and effect.

Chu Yin once again used Buddhist terminology to defend herself.

Living Buddha Hongfa looked calm, but after Chu Yin's questioning, the people in the audience kept looking at them, the Buddhists, with strange eyes.

"I really can't understand it. The Alliance has clearly agreed to the independence of Los Angeles. Their arrival this time is just a coincidence."

"The fat piece of meat of Luo City has been targeted by someone. Someone in Beihu doesn't want Luo City to be out of their control."

"We have to face the reality. They are just members of the alliance. It is hard to say who is behind them."

In a blink of an eye, many people who were whispering about this seemed to have reached a consensus.

The monks from Tianyin Temple looked unhappy. It was indeed a bit embarrassing for the Living Buddha Hongfa to be supported by his own fanatical believers.

Hongfa clasped his hands together and bowed his head slightly.

The quietness and coolness seem to be soaked in a century of history.

He said: "All worldly causes lead to worldly results."

As soon as he spoke, the whole audience immediately fell silent. This time, they all wanted to know what Living Buddha Hongfa was going to say.

"The cycle of cause and effect is reversed, and it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish. Donor Chu Yin, can you explain it clearly?"

He said it was difficult to distinguish cause and effect, but how could Chu Yin admit defeat?

She drank a cup of tea, turned her head and looked at everyone, finally fixing her eyes on the person opposite her.

"I understand. You mean that even if a hundred kalpas pass, the karma you have created will not perish. When the cause and conditions come together, you will have to bear the consequences yourself."

Chu Yin's words seemed to contain the truth of the Tao. Many people felt like a thunderclap in their minds, which instantly blew away the heavy shackles of many years, and they became clear-headed in an instant.

With just these few words, Hongfa seemed to hear the hearing from a great master above, and for the first time he could not maintain his solemn and majestic appearance.

"Did you realize it on your own?" Hongfa's voice was obviously hoarse.

Chu Yin smiled slightly and did not answer him. Instead, she said:

"The taste of blood and flesh is delicious, but it is difficult to express resentment for the pain. If you put yourself in their shoes, who would cut themselves with a knife?"

"Hongfa Living Buddha, are you grinding tiles into mirrors?"

Hongfa: "How can grinding tiles make a mirror?"

Chu Yin added: "Since tiles cannot be polished into mirrors, how can meditation lead to Buddhahood?"

Hongfa is silent.

Chu Yin said, "I heard that Buddhist disciples let go of all attachments, all dharmas are empty, and only have pure elements and few desires, so they will naturally live a long and infinite life."

Hongfa: "Everything in Buddhism is empty."

Hearing him say this, Chu Yin stood up from where she was and slowly walked to Hongfa. As they were looking at each other, Chu Yin suddenly clenched her right fist and hit Hongfa on the forehead.

“Huh~~~~”

"what!"

Unlike the others who were either surprised or angry, the person involved, Hongfa, touched his forehead and looked at the smiling Chu Yin thoughtfully.

"Since you say that everything is empty, then where does suffering come from? Seeing what is invisible, hearing what is inaudible, and knowing what is unknown are the true meanings."

As if he could see the confusion in everyone's eyes, he let his voice swoop down from the sky, ringing clear Zen words in everyone's ears.

"All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows; like dew and lightning; they should be viewed in this way."

Everyone was stunned! Looking at Chu Yin who seemed to be arrogant on the stage, with deep eyes looking at the unknown space.

She seemed to have grown from an ordinary little girl into a master who was more proficient in the profound meaning of Buddhism than great masters like Hongfa.

Why, why do I feel like crying?

Chu Yin's words invisibly made a certain place in everyone's heart vibrate at the same frequency. This vibration came from the depths of the soul.

Most people cannot explain this abnormality by themselves, but they are not disgusted. Instead, they are moved from the bottom of their hearts and shed tears.

As the other person who faced Chu Yin directly this time, Hongfa simply forgot the reason for his debate with Chu Yin. His eyes were shining with excitement as if he had seen the real Buddha.

"Any more?"

The trembling voice made people a little worried, but his group of disciples all knew that this was a sign of his excitement.

Eyes burning!

Chu Yin felt everyone's expectations.

"Everything that has form is false. If you see that all forms are not forms, then you will see the Tathagata."

The scene was quiet.

Chu Yin continued: "One flower is a world, one leaf is a bodhi."

"anything else?"

"Color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, and emptiness is color."

"anything else?"

"The bodhi tree has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the beginning, so how can it cause dust."

……

"The past mind is unattainable, the present mind is unattainable, and the future mind is unattainable."

From just one sentence at a time at the beginning, later on, Chu Yin did not need Living Buddha Hongfa to ask him any more, and he could speak hundreds of Zen sayings that no one had ever heard before.

The huge Zhenguang Temple is filled with silence within a radius of a hundred miles.

Everyone at the scene opened their mouths wide, staring blankly at Chu Yin, whose whole body was glowing. This scene was so shocking that it was beyond description.

"Who are you?"

Hongfa asked the question with difficulty, which was not in line with his status as a high monk, but everyone was confused.

How did Chu Yin know so much? Moreover, all the Buddhist disciples present, including Hongfa, looked at her excitedly.

"Can't say."

Hongfa stood there in a daze, mumbling, "I can't say it, I can't say it, I can't say it."

"Hahahahahaha, you're right. It's unspeakable, unthinkable, and unthinkable."

He talked to himself as if he had suddenly realized something, and laughed crazily, his laughter filled with joy and relief at knowing the truth.

"Thank you, donor Chu Yin."

He clasped his hands together and bowed deeply.

Chu Yin did not dodge, and no one present was dissatisfied. It seemed that Living Buddha Hongfa had gained a lot.

"Everyone, I lost the debate today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar at the scene.

"I received guidance from the unknown and came to Los Angeles to find my destined person. Today, I finally understood."

Hongfa turned around and faced Chu Yin: "Chu Yin, are you willing to become my Buddhist disciple? Tianyin Temple can be handed over to you."

The words were spoken to Chu Yin, but everyone at the scene heard them.

"I reject."

Before anyone could raise any objections, Chu Yin had already subconsciously refused.

Hongfa wanted to say that she could consider it, but Chu Yin's eyes were firm and it didn't seem like an excuse.

"Yes, I made a mistake. Donor Chu Yin has a broad mind and great wisdom. He can be at ease anywhere. I shouldn't force him."

"Originally, I wanted you to serve as a Buddhist disciple, so that Tianyin Temple and Buddhism could prosper."

Everyone could understand the disappointment in his voice.

Chu Yin stared at him thoughtfully, as well as the aura behind him.

Suddenly, Hongfa's eldest disciple stood up. Everyone thought he was going to say something, but he closed his eyes.

He muttered something, and everyone saw several mysterious figures appear on the stage.
