Da Bei's words caused Abbot Jingxuan to slightly raise his eyebrows before looking at him and slowly asking, "Do you feel you have violated them?"
Da Bei nodded, "Initially, I did not think so, and did not contemplate it deeply, being engrossed in breaking through under the expectations of the abbot and other heads. Now, after being reminded, I feel I have indeed violated them."
"Also, precisely because I have thought it through, my long-stagnant realm is now showing signs of loosening."
Realm and state of mind are not deceiving.
Moreover, it is in Buddhist Law which most emphasizes enlightenment and state of mind.
Abbot Jingxuan slightly nodded and said, "Then, hand over the Faith Power."
Da Bei's heart sank; this statement undoubtedly was an indirect acknowledgment that what Buddhist Sect is doing now was indeed so.
