"Take back what you said immediately. You must not be disrespectful to Buddha, or you will suffer karmic retribution."
"I'm already in this state, what kind of retribution can I expect?"
Coach Ma was speechless for a long time before finally saying, "There really is cause and effect in this world, so don't talk nonsense."
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll shut up."
"What do you have to say about the donations?"
How much do you want?
“Our abbot said that for donations exceeding five thousand, the name can be written on the merit tablet… It’s up to you whether you want to be on the merit tablet.”
I smiled and sighed, "It seems that even sentient beings are not equal. There has to be a threshold to be placed on the merit monument!"
"Equality is difficult to achieve; even Buddhas are divided into great Buddhas and small Buddhas."
I looked at Coach Ma, thought for a moment, and replied, "To allow you to sit on the toilet to relieve yourselves, I'll pay 5,000 for this bathroom; but I don't need to be listed on the merit tablet, just one condition... Tonight, my parents are coming to Dali, you should come along for dinner, and also meet Bai Lu... You just took someone's rhinitis medicine like that, you should at least say thank you in person, you really can't take this stuff so easily!"
Coach Ma looked at me, and his expression immediately changed. He took the bottle of nasal medicine out of his bag, slammed it on the table, and then left without saying a word. Before leaving, he didn't even mention the donation again.
Such a small matter is unlikely to cause a rift between us, but it was enough for me to see from his words and actions that his Buddhist faith was wavering. Logically, monks should be able to communicate effectively.
...
Before we knew it, it was already evening. As planned, Chen Jin and I, with him driving, went to the train station together. While we were waiting, another Beetle with a Dali license plate pulled up. This didn't seem like much at first and didn't attract my attention. But when the people in the car got out and came into view, I was truly shocked.
Because the person who got out of the car was none other than Lu Jia…
Such a place, such a time—it's hard for me to believe it's a coincidence. But if it's not a coincidence, then what is the significance of her being here?
