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
Ashley shook her head. "She has her own destiny, and her cultivation is far superior to mine. I can't mentor her." Although Ashley had successfully attained enlightenment with Curtis's help, she herself was not a genius in cultivation. Compared to a genius like Nanako, who had attained most of the enlightenment on her own, she was naturally inferior. Therefore, in Ashley's opinion, the direction of Nanako's development after enlightenment should be guided by Charlie, not by herself. Besides, she knew that Charlie was on his way back. She felt that Charlie would be very excited if he knew the news of Nanako's enlightenment. This could be seen as a little surprise that she had prepared as a mother for her son. That morning, many believers came to the temple one by one. Among them were people arranged by Ashley, and there were also genuine believers who rushed to come after hearing the news. At noon, the news that Master Jeevika would be giving a lecture at Aurous Hill's Qi Te
Julien was so excited that he didn't sleep all night. He got up before dawn the next day, dressed smartly, and took a helicopter to Ottawa. He planned to fetch Queen Helena from Canada to New York. In the early morning, Helena boarded Julien's helicopter with the Healing Pill Charlie had given her. The reason Charlie felt comfortable letting Helena go to New York alone was because of the Rothschild family's unparalleled power and influence in the United States. This influence was sufficient to allow Helena to enter the country stealthily without any third party knowing about it. More importantly, Charlie was aware that Fleur was inherently suspicious and cautious. Being in New York herself, she would never dare to confront the Rothschild family directly. Moreover, in the process of sealing off New York, the Rothschild family had unexpectedly integrated high-tech AI, significantly enhancing their security capabilities. Given Fleur's nature, she would be far too wary to take an
The more confidently and gracefully Helena maintained her royal poise without a hint of subservience, the more Harrison admired her. As one of the wealthiest people in the world, Harrison knew that many would bow to money, and it was rare to find someone who could still hold themselves with such dignity in his presence. Because of this admiration, Harrison felt an added respect and, struggling to sit up straighter, spoke, "Y-Your M-Majesty, i-it is a-a great honor f-for the entire R-Rothschild family to have you a-as o-our guest." With a smile and a nod, Helena said, "I heard that you had some health issues, so I came to visit you. How are you feeling now?" Harrison lamented somewhat dejectedly, "T-The doctor said t-that I-I had some sign of s-stroke. F-For some time in the future, I-I may have to c-c-concentrate on r-r-rehabilitation. L-Later, I-I will g-gather all members of my family to a meeting t-to officially a-announce that Julien w-will become t-the next patriarch. Q-Qu
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
