?Chapter 1578: Chapter 49: Great Zen Master Jingcheng_2 Chapter 1578: Chapter 49: Great Zen Master Jingcheng_2 Great Zen Master Jingcheng, who had swiftly adjusted his mindset, said indifferently, “This monk was born in a village upstream of the Lai River. At the age of five, a wandering monk from Jing Tai Temple recognized my potential for wisdom. Thus, I severed all worldly ties, left my parental home, and went to Jing Tai Temple to be ordained and practice asceticism. I studied under Master Jueji and learned the ‘Jing Tai Mystical Method,’ ‘Heart Lotus Spiritual Platform,’ and the canonical ‘Pure Bodhi.'”
“Morning lessons, morning meal, noon meal, afternoon meditation, evening lessons. Apart from the five regular sessions of my school, this monk also studied various classic teachings and profound methods from other sects. It took six years to enter the Wisdom Realm (shedding the mundane) and awaken to the Bodhi Path Fruit (bloodline). I then began cultivating the three supernatural abilities of heaven’s eye, spiritual foot, and divine hearing and attempted to integrate Bodhi into the mystical methods, amassing twenty years of profound insights. By relying on the Pure Bodhi method, I attained the Arhat Fruit Rank, acquired forty of the Thirty-Two Auspicious Marks, and took the position of abbot of the Pure Land Zen Temple…”
“That’s enough, that’s enough, the junior knows everything that follows.”
Tang Luo smiled and interrupted Great Zen Master Jingcheng’s account, because if he didn’t, the other party would just start showing off.
The reason Great Zen Master Jingcheng had such a great reputation was that his journey as the abbot of Pure Land Zen Temple was far from smooth.
Before him, there was an acting abbot of Pure Land Zen Temple, who, after serving for a long time, had begun to regard himself as the true abbot.
Yet, deep down there was always a voice reminding him that someday all that he had painstakingly maintained would be taken from him.
So this clever and talented acting abbot began cultivating his own power.
Crucially, from the second-in-command down, all positions were filled with his direct disciples.
Positions such as Sect Head, Western Hall, Chant Leader, and Work Leader, which were key posts, were all held by the acting abbot’s loyalists.
The entire Pure Land Zen Temple was made impregnable, and when Great Zen Master Jingcheng arrived to take office, the acting abbot effortlessly yielded the position, but there wasn’t a single person in the temple who obeyed him.
The story that followed is somewhat cliché; it’s said that under the exquisite Buddhist teachings of Great Zen Master Jingcheng, the disciples of the Pure Land Zen Temple quickly realized their mistakes and tearfully surrendered to him.
As for the acting abbot, he repented his misdeeds and became the first devotee of Abbot Jingcheng.
