Chapter 740 Are you looking for Jingtian?
When Li Tiantian said she wanted to donate the cards to the temple, the monk was stunned. He had never seen this kind of donation and didn't know how to deal with it. The monk and Zhao Yun looked at each other, their eyes revealing confusion and surprise.
The monk was stunned for a moment, then said softly: "We have never accepted such donations here, and I don't know how to deal with it. I need to ask the abbot and see what he thinks." After saying that, he planned to turn around and leave to ask the abbot.
Li Tiantian thought and said, "Master, wait a moment. Let us go with you! We will also pay homage to the abbot's Buddha nature!"
The monk thought about it and decided it wasn't a big deal so he nodded and said, "Then you two should come with me to see the abbot!"
"Thank you, Master!" Zhao Yun and Li Tiantian quickly expressed their gratitude.
Then the monk led Zhao Yun and Li Tiantian to the main hall at the back where the abbot was.
The three of them arrived at the door of the main hall and saw the abbot sitting in front of the Buddha statue with his back to the door, muttering to himself, as if he was reciting some scriptures.
When he arrived at the door, the little monk chanted, "Amitabha." Then he said softly, "Abbot! Two donors just came and want to donate to the temple. I brought them to see you!" After that, the little monk bowed and waited at the door.
The abbot inside did not respond immediately. He still sat there quietly, muttering something, as if he was concentrating on reciting scriptures. After a long while, the abbot slowly stopped what he was doing. He squinted his eyes slightly, as if he had come back to his senses from meditation. Then, he slowly stood up, put his hands together, slowly turned around, and looked at Zhao Yun and Li Tiantian standing outside the door. His eyes were kind and gentle, as if he could see through their appearance to the depths of their hearts. Then, he smiled and said, "Amitabha! Two donors, please come in!" His voice was low and calm, making people feel inexplicably at ease.
"Master! Sorry to bother you!" Zhao Yun and Li Tiantian put their palms together and returned the greeting.
The little monk made a gesture to invite him in and then slowly retreated.
After seeing Zhao Yun and Li Tiantian come in, Abbot Kong Cheng put his hands together, smiled at them and said, "Please take a seat, both of you!"
"Thank you, Abbot!" Zhao Yun and Li Tiantian looked at each other, then imitated Abbot Kong Cheng, crossed their legs, and sat on the cushion beside them.
Abbot Kong Cheng also sat down with them, then looked at the two and said, "You two donors are not locals, right?"
Zhao Yun nodded and replied, "Yes, Abbot, we came from Yanjing!"
Abbot Kong Cheng nodded. He observed the two carefully, and then asked softly, "I see that you two have frowned, as if you are worried about something. You two came to our temple, but didn't find the person you were looking for?"
Zhao Yun sighed and said helplessly, "We have already asked all the masters in the front hall, but unfortunately, they all said that they have not seen the person we are looking for."
Hearing this, the other party sighed softly, as if he felt sorry for what happened to Zhao Yun and the other two, and then said: "Ah! It seems that you two have come here for nothing this time. You may feel a little disappointed."
Zhao Yun nodded, revealing a hint of disappointment. He bit his lips lightly, frowned slightly, and his eyes revealed a little fatigue and anxiety. He said slowly: "Yes, we do feel very disappointed. My friend once told me that he saw her car here, so we came here so anxiously."
Li Tiantian, who was standing by, added: "Yes, we drove here from Yanjing yesterday afternoon, without stopping along the way, just to find her as soon as possible. But now..." His voice gradually became low, revealing deep worry and disappointment. "This friend is very important to us. It can be said that without her, we will suffer for the rest of our lives."
Zhao Yun sighed, and then said: "To be honest, Master, I want to donate money to the Buddha statue, but my heart is not so pure. In fact, I have selfish motives. My good friend has encountered some troubles recently, and I am very worried about her safety and happiness. Therefore, I hope to get the Buddha's blessing by donating funds to the temple, and ask the masters in the temple to help me keep an eye on my friend after receiving the benefits I give. In this way, I can find my friend in time. Of course, this is just a little selfish of mine, I hope the masters don't mind."
Kong Cheng laughed heartily after hearing this. His laughter was as loud and deep as a bell, echoing in the air. He looked at the person in front of him, his eyes flashing with gentleness: "Donor, you are so frank! You must be an upright and broad-minded person to express your thoughts so frankly. In fact, it is not only the donor who has selfishness, but even those of us who practice are no exception. We comprehend the Dharma and practice hard, just hoping to get closer to the Buddha and gain more wisdom and enlightenment. Isn't this a kind of selfishness?"
"Don't worry, my two donors. I will ask the people in the temple to help you keep an eye on the person you asked for!"
"Thank you so much, Master!" Zhao Yun and Li Tiantian bowed and said. After that, Zhao Yun took out a card and said, "Master, there is one million in this card! Although it is a bit vulgar, it is the true meaning we want to express. I hope you will not refuse!"
Master Kongcheng smiled and said, "Amitabha, Mr. Zhao, I understand your good intentions, but money is only a part of our body and does not mean much to me. But since you are so sincere, I will accept this card, as a way to add some money to the temple." After that, Master Kongcheng clasped his hands together and saluted Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun quickly responded, "Master, you are too kind. We just want to do our best to help the temple."
Master Kong Cheng smiled and nodded to express his gratitude. He took the card and gently put it into his sleeve, then said to Zhao Yun and Li Tiantian: "I have already felt the kindness of the two donors. I believe that the Buddha will also bless the two donors to be safe and smooth, and to achieve their wishes. If you need my help in the future, just ask."
Zhao Yun and Li Tiantian thanked Master Kong Cheng again and said that they would visit again if they had the chance. Master Kong Cheng wished them a safe journey and sent them out of the meditation room.
Arriving at the temple gate, Zhao Yun and Li Tiantian were about to put their hands together and bid farewell to Abbot Kong Cheng, but Abbot Kong Cheng suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "You two are not ordinary people. In that case, why don't you show me the photos of your friends? Maybe I can help you keep an eye out for them!"
Zhao Yun took out his phone and handed it to the abbot. When Abbot Kong Cheng saw Jing Tian with a sweet smile on his phone, something strange appeared on his calm face, and his eyes widened involuntarily.
"The person you two are looking for is her?" Abbot Kong Cheng asked in surprise.
