"Amitabha Buddha!"
Beneath a blooming golden Bodhi tree, emanating auspicious air and a sweeping radiance, a young Buddhist disciple dressed in moon-white monk's clothes stood up from the meditation cushion. The Buddhist title reverberated in tandem with the rustle of the tree, rippling through the divine atmosphere.
"Buddhist Disciple!"
Seeing the young disciple rise, the apprentice monks, and nuns moved forward intending to serve him.
"Go and notify the Honored Ones, I am going on a long journey today, which might last at least three years or at most five. I will return to the temple after."
The face of the young Buddhist disciple remained calm. Nevertheless, his words to the surrounding monks were like a bolt from the blue—an unexpected thunder that left everyone stunned and astounded.
"Master Buddhist Disciple, when will you depart?"
