Tathagata's Dharma Aspect had not yet spoken when a Divine Dragon lowered its head and with a vicious open mouth came within ten meters of Master Yuanci, issuing a scolding sound.
Saliva and the stench even struck Master Yuanci's body directly.
Master Yuanci prepared to kneel but then suddenly stopped.
At this moment, the experiences and insights of his lifetime flashed through his mind.
The appearances of himself as a youth, an adult, and an elder each surfaced.
Master Yuanci suddenly realized.
Ignoring the scolding of the Divine Dragon, he instead raised his head and directly addressed the Dharma Aspect of Tathagata,
"From youth, this monk sought the Way, in middle age sought Buddha after failing, and though I only found peace, I also learned not to kneel to the Buddha in my heart."
"Amitabha, all conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows, like dew and like lightning, and should be viewed as such."
