The Amazing son in law Chapter 6477
It’s not an overstatement to say that he has gained a wealth of knowledge. I could easily understand what Ito Nanako, a gentle girl from Japan, was expressing in her native language.
With her heartfelt words, Ito Nanako focused solely on responding to Suguichi. Despite being a talented mage, her mental state seemed a bit unsteady at that moment.
In an effort to find calm, she silently repeated to herself: “Amitabha, sin, sin, sin…”
As Lydia (Ava), Charlie’s mother, and Sister Sun observed this scene, they couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Lydia (Ava) remarked with a sigh, “She’s truly clever. After spending such a long time in China, it’s remarkable that she subconsciously spoke a word in Japanese. This must have been intentional. When you look at Jingqing, the essence of Buddhism is affected.”
Sister Sun smiled and shook her head, expressing, “I don’t know why, but I’ve suddenly taken a liking to Miss Ito…”
Lydia (Ava) blinked slightly but chose not to respond.
At that moment, Master Jingqing made a concerted effort to adjust his mindset and continued, “I wonder if you’ve realized that with the ongoing advancement of social productivity, humanity is drifting further away from its roots. Our creativity in certain domains has long been surpassed by our predecessors. Take pianists, for instance; no matter how talented they are, they will never match the brilliance of Chopin, Beethoven, or Tchaikovsky. Even two hundred years from now, pianists will still be performing their masterpieces.”
“Moreover,” he added, “today’s people lack the same depth of understanding as the ancients. When modern individuals, who tend to be impetuous and driven by utility, attempt to study ancient texts, their comprehension rarely reaches the level of those who originally wrote them.”
“Consequently, many modern readers find it challenging to grasp the principles within religious scriptures that are over two thousand years old due to the archaic and complex language.”
“In such times, individuals like us are needed to set aside personal emotions and…”
Suddenly, Nanako Ito raised her hand and interjected cautiously, “I apologize for interrupting, but I want to clarify—when you say ‘we,’ it doesn’t include me, does it?”
Master Jingqing took a deep breath and nodded, “No, it does not. The term ‘we’ refers to those like myself.”
Ito Nanako placed a hand on her heart and, with a sigh of relief, replied, “That’s good to hear. Please, continue…”
Master Jingqing bowed his head in silence for a moment before slowly looking up and speaking with a hint of melancholy, “What I want to convey is that the world needs individuals like myself who are dedicated to studying Buddhist scriptures deeply and uncovering their meanings. It’s essential to then articulate these insights in modern language and methods so that others can understand, reflect, and make informed choices regarding life’s significant questions. Every religion requires individuals in similar roles; masters, priests, and imams all serve this purpose. Our goals align, albeit through different paths. We aspire to guide all sentient beings towards solutions to their dilemmas…” Upon hearing this,
Nanako Ito rested her chin in her hands, clapping gently and thoughtfully as she expressed her admiration, “Si Guoyi…”
