"It wasn't a hallucination?!" Master Jeevika was shocked. From the moment he had seen Nanako, he knew that she would definitely be able to attain enlightenment and would definitely be faster than he did because of her gifted talent. Among millions of people, there might not be one person who had the ability to attain enlightenment, and that kind of person would never be able to attain enlightenment. But those who had the talent for cognition were just waiting for an opportunity to attain enlightenment. However, since the process of attaining enlightenment was too mysterious and there were almost no rules to speak of, it was unknown when those talented few could obtain the chance to attain enlightenment. Master Jeevika assumed that Nanako should be able to attain enlightenment in a year or two after he informed her of the key to attaining enlightenment, but he didn't expect that Nanako could succeed after just two attempts. Suppressing his shock, he asked, "Miss, you said
Nanako didn't realize that Master Jeevika's Buddhist heart had already changed somewhat. She said seriously, "Perhaps you have a certain deviation in understanding the direction of enlightenment. Although both the purple abode and the Sea of Consciousness are described in Buddhist and Taoist texts, enlightenment is ultimately the realm of cultivators. The Buddhist thought is 'no self', while the Taoist thought is 'true self', which are fundamentally opposites. Therefore, using Buddhist theories to solve the problems of Taoism may itself be somewhat misguided or even misplaced." "If the Taoist thought is 'true self', perhaps it is about allowing the Sea of Consciousness to perceive the realm of 'true self' so that it can merge with my divine sense." "What... I..." Master Jeevika was stunned for a moment. After a while, he gasped in realization, "You have truly enlightened me! I have learned a lot!" "You're too kind, Master." Nanako said hastily, humbly, and respectfully, "I am ble
The blessing of the protective talisman involved the master personally chanting scriptures to imbue the talisman with so-called magical power. Of course, this magical power was not true magical power in the literal sense. It was more about the merits and good intentions associated with it. After Master Jeevika consecrated and blessed the amulet, he gave it back to Nanako and said, "Please keep this amulet. If you are interested, you can study more Buddhist teachings. With your talent, you will be able to understand many principles that modern people cannot comprehend." Nanako knew that Master Jeevika was very obsessed with studying Buddhism, so she nodded and promised, "Don't worry, I'll try to read more." Master Jeevika bowed slightly and thanked Nanako. Nanako bowed respectfully in return and said goodbye to Master Jeevika. Master Jeevika saw her to the door and opened the hall door himself. When the door was opened, several believers were already waiting on the stone st
Decorative lights and illuminants lit up the extravagant Wilson family mansion.Tonight was the 70th birthday banquet of Lady Wilson, the head of the Wilson family.Her grandchildren and their spouses gathered around her to hand her their luxurious gifts.“Grandma, I heard that you love the Chinese tea. I looked high and low for this century-old Pu’er tea worth half a million dollars to present it to you.”“Grandma, you are a devoted Buddhist. This Buddha statue is carved from the authentic Hetian jade, it is worth seven hundred thousand dollars…”Looking at the nicely wrapped gifts in front of her, Lady Wilson laughed heartily. The entire ambiance was harmonious and happy.Suddenly, Charlie Wade, Lady Wilson’s eldest grandson-in-law, spoke, “Grandma, could you lend me a million dollars, please? Mrs. Lewis from the welfare home is diagnosed with uremia and I need the money for her treatment…”The entire Wilson family gaped in extreme shock. Everyone stared at Charlie with bewi
Ten billion dollars?!Charlie was shocked. His eyes wide open, his mouth wide agape.He knew that his grandfather was very wealthy, but back then, he was too young to understand the concept of money. He only knew that the Wade family was one of the wealthiest families in Eastcliff and even the country, but he wasn’t sure what his net worth was.Right now, he finally knew.If ten billion dollars were just pocket money, it meant that the entire Wade family had a net worth of more than one trillion dollars!Frankly speaking, at this moment, he was slightly touched and swayed. However, when he thought about his deceased parents and how his grandfather was part of the reasons why they had died, he knew he could never easily forgive him.Sensing his frustration, Stephen quickly said, “Young Master, you are one of the Wade family members, so the money is yours. Besides, technically speaking, it belongs to your father.”“The Master said that if you’re willing to go home, he will let you
The next morning, after preparing breakfast, Charlie rode his scooter to Emgrand Group’s office.He parked his scooter on the side of Emgrand’s parking lot. As soon as he locked his scooter, a black Bentley slowly parked in a spot across from him.He looked up inadvertently and saw a young couple getting out of the car.The man was wearing a branded suit, looking very handsome and smart. Meanwhile, the lady was dressed up in a flamboyant style. Although somewhat gaudy, she was considered a beauty.As it turned out, the lady was Wendy Wilson, Claire’s cousin, and the man was her fiancé, Gerald White.Charlie didn’t know why they were here, but he knew that the best way to avoid trouble was to stay away from them.However, the more eager he wanted to hide from them, the higher chances they would see him.Wendy caught sight of him from the corner of her eyes. She yelped loudly, “Hey, Charlie!”Wendy called out his name in a friendly manner, but Charlie felt goosebumps all over his
This was also the first time Charlie had ever met Doris.He had to admit that Doris was a very stunning and alluring young lady!She was about twenty-seven or eight years of age with a slender yet plump body figure, captivating appearance, and a very mature and honorable manner.Sitting down in front of Doris’s desk, Charlie started, “I will not come into the office often, so I would like you to continue looking over the company on my behalf. In addition, please do not disclose my identity to the public.”Doris was aware that Mr. Wade, who was sitting in front of her now, came from the extraordinary Wade family. For a prominent family like theirs, Emgrand Group was nothing but a mediocre business, so it was normal for him not to manage it himself. Hence, she quickly said, “Sure. Mr. Wade, just tell me if you need anything, I’ll be at your service.”At this moment, a secretary knocked on the door and said, “Miss Young, a man called Gerald White and his fiancé are here to see you.”
The two announcements released by Emgrand Group completely shook the entire Aurous Hill like a high magnitude earthquake.When the Wilson family learned about the ownership change in Emgrand Group, they figured out why the collaboration with the White family had been terminated. It seemed that Emgrand’s new owner didn’t think much of the White family.Back to the point, who was Mr. Wade? He simply bought Emgrand Group that was worth hundreds of billions of dollars without batting an eye—he was a little too powerful, wasn’t he? Even the richest man in Aurous Hill wouldn’t be so generous!All of a sudden, a lot of wealthy families were about to eagerly make a move. They wished to establish a connection with the mysterious Mr. Wade while on the other hand wished to marry their daughter to him.Moreover, the announcement about Emgrand Group’s investment of two billion dollars for the hotel construction project also shook the construction and interior decorating industries in Aurous H
