Fu Song said to Zhang Xinyuan, "You want to become a lay disciple of Buddha? Isn't that a bit too hasty?"

Thai Buddhism also has lay disciples, which is a bit like the "Heaven, Earth, Emperor, Parents and Teachers" in Confucian culture.

Moreover, due to the religious nature of Buddhism, the relationship between lay disciples and masters is closer than "once a teacher, always a father."

It can be said that when someone becomes a disciple of a high monk, that monk is like his second father.

Whatever the eminent monk asks his disciples to do, the disciples must not disobey.

Otherwise it would be a betrayal of teachers and ancestors, treason, heinous crime, and unforgivable sin!

Now Zhang Xinyuan mainly wants to be his son?

Fu Song said he could not accept it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Fu Song finished speaking, Zhang Xinyuan glared at him fiercely, and then looked at Luang Pu Yan again:

“The disciples’ reverence for the Buddha’s disciples is like the waves of the river or the sea, surging and rolling.

This is my lifelong wish. I cannot sleep at night, waiting for this day.

So, please help me, Master Yan."

Luang Pu Yan's face was full of embarrassment: "This... Logically speaking, since the donor is so pious, I should report this matter to the Buddhist disciples.

But the Buddha is traveling in the mortal world and has no plans to return in the short term, so..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Xinyuan suddenly said, "I am willing to donate 3 million to the Jilada Palace to repair the golden statue temple here. I only hope that the master can pass it on for me.

If the Buddha accepts me as his disciple, I can offer 100 million as a gift."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the scene was stunned.

A 100 million apprenticeship gift...

Isn’t this too outrageous?

Seeing everyone's stunned expressions, Zhang Xinyuan remained calm on the surface, but was actually very proud in his heart.

This was the solution he came up with after Long Gu Po passed away and the new Buddhist disciple took the throne. He pondered for several days.

It is difficult for ordinary people to imagine the high status of Thai Buddhists. It is very similar to the royal family of the British Empire.

Although he is unable to interfere in politics, he enjoys a transcendent status that no other political leader has.

Moreover, unlike the royal family of the British Empire, which only has a respected status, the Buddha's disciples have unparalleled influence among the Thai people.

If the royal family of the British Empire asked a citizen to help them do something, there was a high probability that the citizen would ignore them.

But if a Thai Buddhist asks a citizen to do something for him, the citizen will definitely be grateful and will help him complete it even if it means going through fire and water.

So even though Zhang Xinyuan spent 100 million to become a disciple, the benefits he will gain will be unparalleled as long as he becomes a disciple of Buddha.

It is no exaggeration to say that just by being a Buddhist disciple, he entered the circle of Thailand's upper class society.

Luang Pu Yan pondered for a moment and said: "I can introduce you. As for whether the Buddha will agree or not, it depends on his wishes."

Zhang Xinyuan nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Master Yan. If the Buddhist disciples disagree, I can only say that I have no affinity with Buddha."

Although he said so, Zhang Xinyuan never thought that Buddhists would reject him.

Only a fool would refuse to earn 100 million just for the title of master and apprentice.

As for the fact that Buddhists don’t love money... Zhang Xinyuan can only say haha.

If you really don't love money, why would you hold a Buddhist treasure meeting?

Sure enough, Luang Pu Yan soon received the message: "Congratulations, donor Zhang! Congratulations, donor Zhang! The Buddha was deeply moved after hearing your heartfelt words and expressed that he welcomes devout believers like you to take refuge in his school.

And the Buddha is now at the Chilada Palace. Wait a moment, he will be here soon."

"What? The Buddhist disciple is in Jilada Palace?" Zhang Xinyuan's face was full of ecstasy.

What does this mean? It means I really have a connection with Buddha!

When I really take the Buddha as my master, then Fu Song...

Hey, where is Fu Song?

Could it be that this guy was shocked by my heroism and ran away with his face covered?

Very likely!

Zhang Xinyuan looked at Tang Keke again, and while he was looking at Tang Keke, Tang Keke was also looking at him.

It’s just that the other person’s expression… is a little strange.

That's right, seeing that she had invested a small amount of money in becoming a Buddhist disciple, Tang Keke must have been feeling very confused and mixed.

Soon, the sound of chanting was heard from the back of the hall, and then four old monks walked out.

Judging from the old monk’s clothes, the four of them were actually living Buddhas.

So the person behind the old monk is the new Thai Buddhist who has become famous all over the world recently.

The Buddhist disciple was wearing a brand new monk's robe with flowing silk ribbons on his body, and his appearance was solemn and dignified.

However, when Zhang Xinyuan looked up at the Buddha's face, he found it blurry and could not see clearly.

The other person's face was blocked by dozens of Buddhist beads hanging from his hat.

Zhang Xinyuan didn't care about it.

All he wanted was the identity of a Buddhist disciple. He didn't care what a Buddhist disciple looked like.

Bang!

Zhang Xinyuan knelt down before the Buddhist disciple and said, "Disciple Zhang Xinyuan, I pay my respects to Master."

After a long silence, a gentle and peaceful voice said, "Please stand up. You're welcome."

"Thank you, Master!" Zhang Xinyuan was overjoyed and quickly stood up from the ground.

But he still bent down, not daring to look the new Buddhist in the eye.

The Buddhist disciple said: “Since you have become a disciple of the deity, you have officially joined the Buddhist sect.

All my disciples have attained the Arhat status, and from now on you will be the Xinyuan Arhat!"

"Really? Thank you, Master, for the name." Zhang Xinyuan knelt down again excitedly.

Although Buddhists say, "All my disciples have attained the status of Arhat," this is just a polite remark.

Any Buddhist disciple who can attain the Arhat status is the Buddha's closest person.

It turned out that the 100 million yuan I spent was not wasted.

"Well, I have been in seclusion in the Jilada Palace for the past two days, studying Buddhism, so it is not easy for me to stay outside for long.
