Hearing Ashley's lament, Suzanne couldn't help but chuckle. "What about Claire? What do you think about her?" "Claire..." Ashley was silent for a moment before explaining seriously, "At some point, she has done a favor for Charlie, but she has neither become pregnant nor had a child after four years of marriage, so I guess that their marriage is likely more show than substance. From the things Charlie has done for her, it's clear that he has been sincere toward her. Given this situation, the problem should lie with her." She then added, "She must have her reasons. It's not fair for me to doubt her, but does this also show that she doesn't love Charlie as much or that she doesn't love him as much as he loves her?" "You're right." Suzanne nodded. "I share the same thought. Mr. Charlie would be better off divorcing her and being with either Miss Golding or Miss Ito. I can tell that these two ladies love him very much." Ashley nodded slightly. She then donned a bitter smile and lam

As they talked, the roar of a helicopter engine and the spinning rotor echoed across the valley. "That should be Jeevika," Suzanna said. "Okay." Ashley nodded. "Let him come here to see me." A few minutes later, the helicopter landed in the open space outside the courtyard, and a monk in a cassock walked up to the gate. The gate happened to open at that time, and Suzanna looked at the monk as she greeted him with a smile, "Jeevika! Mrs. Wade is expecting you." The monk was Master Jeevika, who had become very famous in recent years. He was in his forties and had been a monk for less than twenty years, but with his profound understanding and unique insights into Buddhism, he had become a highly recognized and sought-after monk. He had preached everywhere over the years, not for any utilitarian purpose, but in the hopes of using the philosophy of Buddhism to guide people into leading an optimistic life. His main focus was on the depressed group of people. Over the recent y

On the way to Qi Temple, Nanako took her time while waiting for the red lights to carefully check Master Jeevika's background. The result was indeed astonishing. Jeevika was not only famous in Oskia, but his influence was beginning to spread among Buddhist believers in Asia. The overall review of him was that he was talented, kind, open-minded, and a genius in the field of Buddhism. She was even more surprised when she read that many temples in Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Bhutan, and so on had diligently invited Master Jeevika to visit their countries and preach Buddhism to the believers, but his lectures for the next year were all in Oskia, so he had not yet responded to their invitations. In addition, in the reviews of Master Jeevika by many well-known Buddhist preachers in Oskia and abroad, without exception, they all agreed that his understanding of Buddhism was the most profound in today's society. His preaching of many scriptures made even many experienced masters fee

The monk added, "The entire text of the Heart Sutra of Prajna Paramita is only 260 words, so it won't take long." Nanako asked hastily, "Could you please lend me a pen and paper? Also, I wonder if Master Jeevika could give me a minute to finish writing the Heart Sutra and meet him afterward." The monk smiled and answered, "Sure, I can lend you paper and a pen. You can meet Master Jeevika right now and copy the scriptures there. He will chant, bless, and consecrate for you at the same time. The effect will be the best." "Oh, thank you very much!" Nanako beamed. Then, she bowed at the monk respectfully. The monk returned the bow and then turned and entered the Transmission Office. After a while, he returned with a yellow brocade bag, paper, and pen. He carefully turned around, closed the door, and said to Nanako, "Please follow me." Nanako nodded quickly, and the monk escorted her to the temple's backyard. After passing through a mottled red brick wall, they reached the tem

At this time at the mountain villa, Suzanne watched everything that was happening in the hall on the monitor and snapped angrily, "Ma'am, he's trying to persuade Miss Ito to become a nun! Isn't that out of line?" "Don't worry." Ashley chuckled. "Since Jeevika achieved enlightenment, his heart belongs to Buddha, to the Dharma, and all sentient beings under heaven. Nanako herself has remarkable insight and spiritual roots. Even if it weren't Jeevika, any great Taoist master would likely wish to take her as a disciple. Why do you think I wanted her to be enlightened? Such a talent should not be left standing outside the door—it would be a waste. But knowing Nanako as I do, even if Jeevika were to forcefully persuade her using the world's population, she would never agree. So, you don't need to worry." Sure enough. Nanako unconsciously took a step back and apologized, "I-I already have a lover. How can I become a follower of Buddhism?" Ashley smiled and said, "Have you noticed the

"No matter how much society develops, humans are still humans, and the more society develops, the more the energy of human beings is dispersed. Therefore, the more society develops, the more it can bring out the deepest philosophy of the ancients. That is why the followers of the three major religions have always looked at the scriptures of over two thousand years ago as a beacon on the path of life. Countless people have repeatedly studied the scriptures and works of more than two thousand years ago just to get more inspiration from them." Nanako pursed her lips, looked at her toes, and then looked at Master Jeevika. After a moment of silence, she awkwardly raised her thumb and muttered, "S-Su—go—e." Su—go—e was the pronunciation of sugoi in Japanese, which roughly translated to "Wow, so amazing". Master Jeevika was an excellent scholar before he became a monk. In addition, he had already been enlightened and had traveled for years. It was no exaggeration to say that he was well

Master Jeevika was bewildered by Nanako's consecutive defensive responses. He was not ignorant and knew that this was Nanako's way of rejecting him. While feeling regretful, he reflected, "I saw that she had extraordinary spiritual potential. If she was willing to convert to Buddhism and concentrate on researching the scriptures, she would surely gain a deeper understanding of the teachings, which would benefit all followers. But as it turns out, this was my wishful thinking—" With this thought, he sighed, "Oh, please forgive me. Mrs. Wade asked me to help her achieve enlightenment, and yet I have been entirely focused on persuading her to convert to Buddhism." So, he silently recited a few scriptures and then said, "I'm so sorry for being ignorant. Please forgive me." Nanako gently nodded. "It's alright, as long as you don't try to persuade me to become a nun again." As she spoke, she carefully took a silk pouch from her pocket and asked, "Master, would you still bless and c

Master Jeevika said, "Let me put it another way." Then, he solemnly guided, "When you open your eyes, you are just standing on the earth, looking at the sky before you. When you close your eyes and enter the unconscious realm, the earth will become a globe before you, and everything is within your view and control." Nanako frowned confusedly. "I've figured out a little bit of the introspection method, but... I never had the feeling of closing my eyes and looking at the universe." "Oh?" Master Jeevika exclaimed. "Do you know the introspection method?" Nanako nodded. "I know a little bit, but I'm not sure if it's really it." "Can you tell me how you did it?" Master Jeevika asked. Nanako thought for a moment and said, "I practice martial arts, and by circulating essential qi through all my meridians, it feels as if every meridian in my body is within my view." Master Jeevika shook his head upon hearing this. "This is not the true introspection. What you're describing is a fo
