The character "Buddha" was written with dragons soaring and phoenixes dancing; one could tell at a glance it was the work of a master. Yun Jinnian dared not defile it, she stepped forward and knelt beside Master Micheng, palms pressed together, paying her sincere respects.
"Amitabha, there is no Buddha here, why does the young lady worship?!" Master Micheng asked.
"Where there is Buddha in the heart, Buddha is everywhere, hence I dare not defile!"
"Amitabha," Master Micheng murmured softly, then said, "Bodhi has no tree, the clear mirror is not a stand, originally there is not a single thing, where can the dust alight?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Jinnian took a deep breath and remained silent.
It was a while before she said, "The gate to the mountain monastery is always open, but how many have hearts as still as water?"
It seemed she was asking Master Micheng, but also questioning herself.
"With such a heart, the young lady has no fate with the Buddha!"
