Chapter 190 The God You Wanted Is Here

Inside the military camp.

"Matt, how do you feel about letting the islanders come to learn from you and comprehend the Dharma?"

Xia Ling asked Matt who was standing aside.

Upon hearing this, Matt smiled modestly and nodded slightly, his tone full of piety and awe for Buddhism: "Director, it is my great honor to share the wisdom of Buddhism with more people in need.

For the people of the island countries, if they are willing to learn and comprehend the Dharma, this will undoubtedly be a path that will help them grow and improve their inner selves.”

He paused, his eyes deep, as if thinking about a deeper meaning: "Buddhism emphasizes the equality of all beings and the salvation of all beings. I believe that no matter where you come from or what cultural background you have, as long as you have good intentions and are willing to practice, you can draw wisdom and strength from Buddhism.

For island nations, they have their own unique culture and beliefs, but this does not prevent them from being exposed to and learning from other beneficial belief systems.”

Xia Ling waved his hand, which made Matt look at him in confusion.

"Commander, is there something wrong with what I said?"

"It's not just wrong, it's totally wrong!"

Facing Matt's puzzled look, Xia Ling explained, "There are monks in the island country, but why can't they comprehend the power from them?

This shows that the Buddha has abandoned them and they are not worthy of learning the Dharma!"

As soon as Xia Ling finished speaking, the air seemed to freeze for a moment, and Matt's expression became complicated, with both surprise and confusion.

He shook his head slowly, trying to respond to Xia Ling's radical remarks in a calm and rational manner.

“Director, your point of view may be a bit biased. Buddhism is not exclusive to a certain ethnic group or country. It is the crystallization of wisdom that transcends national boundaries and cultures. The people of island countries also have the right to pursue spiritual sublimation and inner peace.

As for why their local and regional strengths have not yet been widely demonstrated as you say, there may be many complex reasons behind this.”

Matt paused, his eyes became gentler and deeper, and continued: "Perhaps it is because of some gaps in historical inheritance, or the influence of social environment on religious beliefs, or the difference in personal practice methods.

But in any case, this cannot be a reason for us to deny the value of their learning Buddhism. Buddhism is inclusive. It teaches us to have compassion and to see the light and potential within every life. "

"Matt, this is an island country, not a place where Buddhism can enter. Some of the beings here don't want anything else to cause trouble here."

Matt frowned when he heard this and was about to say something, but was stopped by Xia Ling.

"I know what you want to say, but don't worry, they are here."

Matt was interrupted by Xia Ling. Just as he was about to continue arguing, he saw Xia Ling's eyes suddenly become sharp and looked towards the entrance of the military camp.

As the roar of vehicle engines came closer and closer, several black luxury cars slowly drove into the military camp and stopped not far away.

The car door opened, and a group of people in formal attire and with a dignified demeanor got out of the car. They were the Prime Minister of the island country and a group of senior officials.

Xia Ling quickly straightened his clothes and winked at Matt, signaling him to go and greet them together.

Although Matt still had doubts in his heart, he had to suppress them temporarily and followed Xia Ling to meet them. They stopped in front of the Prime Minister of the island country and a group of senior officials.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, welcome to our military camp. It is a great honor for you."

There was a subtle hint of sarcasm in Xia Ling's words. His eyes swept over the prime minister and the officials, as if he could see through everyone's thoughts.

Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister smiled faintly. He obviously heard the hidden meaning in Xia Ling's words, but did not show any displeasure.

He nodded slightly and responded in a calm but firm tone: "Director Xia, you are welcome. Our trip is to enhance exchanges and understanding between the two countries. We hope there will be more opportunities for cooperation in the future."

Xia Ling smiled slightly, with a sly look in his eyes: "Cooperation? Of course, as long as the people of the island countries are willing to put aside their prejudices and learn from us with an open mind, I believe the prospects for cooperation are broad.

However, I heard that the island nation also has its own Buddhist tradition. Why, haven’t your monks gained enough wisdom from Buddhism? "

As soon as these words came out, the air around them seemed to freeze again for a moment. The Prime Minister's face changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

He took a deep breath and said in a more steady voice: "Director Xia Ling, Buddhism is profound. Everyone gets different insights from it. The monks in our island country are also working hard, hoping to pass on the wisdom of Buddhism to more people. As for the 'comprehension' you mentioned, it is not achieved overnight. It requires time accumulation and personal practice."

Upon hearing this, Xia Ling raised a disdainful smile: "Oh? So, is it because you haven't practiced enough? Or has Buddhism lost its original brilliance in your island country?"

The Prime Minister's expression changed slightly again, but he remained calm and restrained.

There was a hint of barely perceptible anger in the Prime Minister's eyes, but he still maintained his diplomatic demeanor and said in a calm and firm tone: "Director Xia, your words seem a little too sharp. The wisdom of Buddhism is endless. Everyone's gains will naturally be different according to their own practice and understanding.

Our island people have a sincere and profound belief in Buddhism. We respect and cherish this heritage and are constantly working to carry it forward.”

Xia Ling sneered, seemingly dissatisfied with the Prime Minister's answer: "Mr. Prime Minister, your answer sounds very official, but in my opinion, it is just an excuse for you islanders not to face reality.

If Buddhism is so prevalent in your island nation, why don't your monks display the same remarkable wisdom and power as practitioners elsewhere?"

The Prime Minister frowned slightly, and he was obviously displeased with Xia Ling's sarcasm, but he remained calm and rational: "Director Xia Ling, you seem to have some misunderstandings about Buddhism. The practice of Buddhism is not about pursuing external power and performance, but focusing on inner peace and wisdom.

Our monks may not show amazing power as you expect, but they are quietly contributing their strength in their daily lives by spreading the Dharma, helping others, and promoting social harmony. "

Xia Ling heard this, and his disdain grew even stronger: "Humph, after all, it's because you haven't practiced enough to truly comprehend the essence of Buddhism.

It seems to me that Buddhism has lost its original brilliance in your island nation, being bound by your own traditions and prejudices."

The Prime Minister's face finally turned gloomy, but he naturally didn't dare to turn against Xia Ling, the five-star emperor.

Otherwise, before Xia Ling even takes action, those lackeys in the country will naturally step forward and make him the former prime minister.

The Prime Minister took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that any radical words or actions in such an occasion could affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries. He said again in a calm but firm tone: "Director Xia Ling, I respect your unique insights into Buddhism, but I also hope that you can understand that every country and nation has its own unique culture and belief system."

Xia Ling smiled. He really was worthy of being the Prime Minister of an island country. He could endure his continuous provocations. He was truly a good dog.

"So, what are you going to do here today?"

The Prime Minister recovered and said, “The main purpose of our visit is to have a deeper dialogue and cooperation with your country in the fields of cultural exchange, economic cooperation and security.

Of course, Buddhism, as a common cultural heritage of our two countries, is also an important part of our exchanges.”

He changed the subject, his tone carrying a hint of sincerity: “Director Xia, perhaps we have differences in our understanding and practice of Buddhism, but this is the meaning of communication.

Through dialogue, we can learn from each other, draw on each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses, and jointly promote the inheritance and development of Buddhist culture, rather than blindly arguing about who is right and who is wrong.

Of course, our soldiers also admire the Son of God very much, and hope that the glory of the Son of God can redeem them."

Xia Ling smiled and said to Matt who was standing beside him.

"Matt, didn't you say you were willing to share the wisdom of Buddhism with more people in need? Now, the opportunity has come. Let these islanders try and see if they can really comprehend the essence of Buddhism.

If they can really understand something, then I want to see whether the Buddha and the Holy Son will really save them."

Matt's eyes were gentle and firm when he heard this. He slowly took a step forward and responded to Xia Ling's words: "Director, I am willing to do my best to share the wisdom of Buddhism with everyone who is willing to learn. However, the understanding of Buddhism is not something that can be achieved overnight. It requires time and personal practice."

He turned to look at the Prime Minister of the island nation and a group of officials, and his tone was full of compassion and tolerance: "Your Excellency the Prime Minister, and all the respected officials, Buddhism is the wisdom of equality of all beings and salvation of all beings.

I am willing to share this wisdom with my friends in your country, but I must also remind everyone that true Buddhist practice is about inner transformation and growth, not outward performance or display of power. "

Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister nodded slightly, with a hint of gratitude and expectation in his eyes: “Mr. Matt, your words are full of wisdom and compassion, and we admire them deeply.

We are here for learning and communication, and hope to have a deeper understanding and comprehension of Buddhism under your guidance."

Matt's words were like a clear spring, flowing slowly into the hearts of the island's prime minister and a group of officials, bringing them a touch of coolness and tranquility.

However, when they really try to understand the Dharma, they find themselves in a fog, unable to find the direction to move forward.

Under Matt's guidance, several Self-Defense Force soldiers brought by the island officials began to try meditation, trying to calm their minds and feel inner tranquility and peace.

However, as time went on, the expressions on their faces gradually became solemn and confused.

They found themselves unable to truly enter a meditative state, unable to feel the inner stillness and peace that Matt described.

Xia Ling watched coldly from the side, with a barely perceptible sneer on his lips. The gods he had prepared for them were not these two.

Theirs is an evil god!
They will suffer a lot in the future!
Seeing this, Matt felt a faint sadness in his heart.

He shook his head slightly, trying to comfort them in a calm but firm tone: "Everyone, please don't be discouraged. The practice of Buddhism is not achieved overnight. It requires time and personal effort.

You are able to come here today and try to understand the Dharma. This is already a rare progress. Please believe that as long as you are willing to continue to work hard, one day you will find your own path of practice. "

Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister of the island country nodded slightly. Although he was unwilling, he had no choice but to accept the reality.

He turned to look at Matt, with a hint of sincerity and expectation in his tone: "Mr. Matt, thank you for your guidance and encouragement. We know that the practice of Buddhism is not easy, but we are willing to continue to work hard and hope that with your help, we can have a deeper understanding and understanding of Buddhism.

Please believe that our island people have a sincere and deep faith in Buddhism. We will cherish this opportunity to exchange ideas, study hard, and make continuous progress. "

After the Prime Minister finished his nice words, he left dejectedly with his officials.

The Prime Minister was in an extremely heavy mood when he returned home.

Today's communication did not achieve the expected effect, and it could even be said to be a failed attempt. Although the Self-Defense Force soldiers tried their best to meditate under Matt's guidance, they still could not really enter the state and feel the inner tranquility and peace described by Buddhism.

This made him begin to doubt whether Buddhism was really suitable for the people of the island countries, or whether the people of the island countries were really capable of comprehending the essence of Buddhism.

He decided to pray again to the three noble sons believed in by the island people, maybe it would work this time.

However, after the prayer, the house remained silent and nothing unusual happened.

The Prime Minister felt a little disappointed, but he did not give up.

He decided to pray again, and this time he knelt in front of the shrine more devoutly, clasped his hands together, and silently recited more sincere prayers in his heart.

Just when he was about to give up, suddenly, a faint and mysterious voice sounded in the study. The voice seemed to come from the distant sky, and it seemed to echo in his ears.

"No need to pray to those false gods, I can help you!"

The Prime Minister was shocked when he heard this.

He raised his head suddenly and looked around, trying to find the source of the sound. However, there was no one in the study except him.

"Who are you? Where are you?" the Prime Minister asked nervously, his voice trembling slightly with surprise and fear.

The voice sounded again, this time even clearer, as if it was echoing directly in his mind: "I am the messenger of Amaterasu. I feel your sincerity and confusion. I can show you a way so that you and the people of the island nation can truly understand the essence of Buddhism."

When the Prime Minister heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes. He hurriedly asked: "Then, please tell me, what should I do?"

"You just need to."
