"But now, I feel that if Bodhisattvas were really like emotionless clay statues, unable to feel joy, sorrow, anger, or annoyance, how nice that would be."
"In that case, the Buddhist Sect would not distinguish between good and evil and would be free from all this dark miasma."
As the Venerable Kassapa finished speaking, he fell silent, a flicker of light in his eyes, reflective of thoughts unknown.
...
Elsewhere.
Hall of the Great Hero.
Yibai had returned here.
He encountered Guanyin Bodhisattva here.
"Guanyin Bodhisattva, it's been a while."
Yibai approached the hall, greeting Guanyin Bodhisattva first.
"Heavenly Lord."
Guanyin Bodhisattva responded with a smile.
"Great Enlightened Bodhisattva, here there is none named Heavenly Lord, be careful not to call the wrong title," the Tathagata seated on the lotus throne reminded with a laugh.
He, too, did not wish for the Celestial Court to be involved.
