So, you're saying I'm fated with the Buddhist path?
Ning Chenxin gazed at the monk before him, draped in a kasaya, and without much thought, shook his head and refused, "Sorry, but I already have a sect."
The old monk wasn't angered, his eyes still tightly shut, a kindly smile on his lips. He tried again, "Benefactor, your bond with the Buddha is profound. Only by following me back to Clear Heart Temple can you save all sentient beings, walking the Bodhisattva's path."
On hearing this, Ning Chenxin just shook his head.
The old monk chuckled, "Why do you shake your head, benefactor?"
Ning Chenxin replied, "The way of the Great Dao has many paths to the same destination. Buddhism is but one Dao among many. Why must I go to Clear Heart Temple to save the world's people?"
The old monk answered, "Clear Heart Temple has always made it our mission to spread Buddhist teachings."
"And the teachings of Buddhism are especially fitting for the current age of chaos."
