Upon hearing this, Huike said, "Amitabha, the Venerable One said that the Buddhist world is now severely damaged. If we want to achieve Nirvana and be reborn, we must find new ways to develop. As a Buddhist disciple, it is natural for me to come to the capital to learn more and see more.

Zhou Zhilu raised his eyebrows upon hearing this and smirked, "Well, you said you wanted to find new methods, to learn more, see more, and experience more. Now that you've come to Tianxiang Pavilion, how can you just drink tea and not eat meat or drink wine?"
Huike frowned and said, "What do you mean, Mr. Zhou? Buddhism forbids drinking alcohol and eating meat."
