CHAPTER 911 DIFFERENT FROM IMAGINED PART 2

Su Jing continued to speak in Zen language, using a tone that was almost like singing and had a mesmerizing quality to it.

His voice was captivating and seemed to draw everyone present under its spell, including Khenpo Renxingye and the others on the opposing side.

They were completely enthralled by Su Jing's words and forgot to refute him, simply listening stupidly as Su Jing spoke at length. In contrast to their previous eloquence and ability to spit out flowery language, they now seemed unable to interrupt Su Jing or offer any counterarguments.

Su Jing continued to speak in a calm and measured manner, using a chanting rather than an argumentative style.

He recited the following Zen words: "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, after practicing the deep prajna paramita for a long time, understands that all five aggregates are empty and is able to overcome all difficulties. The color is different, the color is empty, the empty is the color, and the thought is recognized, and this is true for all relics. All dharmas are empty, they are not born or destroyed, they are not dirty, and they are not increasing or decreasing. Therefore, there is no color in the air, no feeling or thinking. There are no eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, or mind, there is no color, sound, fragrance, touch, or vision, even in the unconscious world. There is no ignorance, no old age and death, no suffering, no wisdom, and no gain. Bodhisattva, according to the Prajna Paramita has a heart that has no hindrance, no fear, no dreams of reversal, and no Nirvana. The Buddhas of the three times all attain Sanyak Sanbodhi through the Prajna Paramita. Therefore, we know that the Prajna Paramita is a great god mantra, a great Ming mantra, a supreme mantra, and an infinite mantra, and is able to eliminate all suffering. It is said: Uncover the truth and uncover the truth, Parasangha reveals the truth, Parasangha reveals the truth, Bodhisattva."

It seemed like a long time before Su Jing stopped.

Abbot Xu Yun, Grandmaster Shengyan, and the others were the first to come to their senses after Su Jing finished speaking. They looked at Su Jing in shock, amazed by the depth and profundity of the Buddhist Zen he demonstrated.

They had thought that Su Jing was not well-versed in Buddhism, but now it seemed that his understanding of Zen was far beyond their expectations. The Zen chanting had an enlightening effect on them, a feeling they had never experienced before.

They couldn't help but wonder if Su Jing was truly the reincarnation of the living Buddha as legend described.

The chubby middle-aged audience member, Tian Zhongyi, and the other listeners, whether they were supporters of Vidyārāja Hall or Khenpo Renxingye, gradually came to their senses as well.

They also looked shocked and were not fully able to understand the meaning of the Zen scriptures that Su Jing recited. However, they too felt a sense of enlightenment.

Those who supported Vidyārāja Hall became more devout, and those who sided with Khenpo Renxingye couldn't help but consider switching allegiances.

This powerful effect was due to Su Jing's intentional control, he had specifically targeted Khenpo Renxingye and tried to limit the spread of his influence.

If he had not done so, it is likely that the listeners would have been even more deeply affected and possibly unable to think clearly at all and they would have become Su Jing's followers without hesitation.

Abbot Xu Yun, Grandmaster Shengyan, the chubby middle-aged man, Tian Zhongyi, and the others all looked towards Khenpo Renxingye, expecting to see if they were persuaded or if they could offer a counterargument.

However, they were surprised to see that Khenpo Renxingye and the others had fallen to their knees and were clasping their hands together in a reverent pose, looking up at Su Jing with reverence.

Everyone present was confused by the unexpected turn of events. The media reporters, who had been stunned by Su Jing's words, quickly regained their senses and began snapping pictures of the scene.

Before the debate, it is likely that many people had their own expectations for the outcome. Some may have thought that Khenpo Renxingye had a better chance of winning, while others may have believed that Abbot Xu Yun had a better chance.

Others may have thought that the two sides were evenly matched and it was difficult to predict who would come out on top.

However, it seems that no one anticipated the result that actually occurred, with Khenpo Renxingye and the others falling to their knees in reverence to Su Jing.

F*ck, what about the Buddhist debate that was agreed upon, it's fine if you don't win the debate, but you actually probated and convert. Moreover, he even knelt down on the spot.

If many people had not known Khenpo Renxingye's reputation, they would have thought that Khenpo Renxingye was just a pawn invited by Su Jing.

People who support the Buddhist Monastery, such as the fat middle-aged, Tian Zhongyi, Xiao Zhi, Zhou Hongyuan, and others all had weird expressions on their faces. Those who supported Khenpo Renxingye, especially those who went to the Buddhist Monastery to make trouble felt betrayed by Khenpo Renxingye's actions. They had run to the Buddhist Monastery to make trouble at the risk of being beaten and arrested for this guy and now the same man kneel in front of the Buddhist Monastery and the others. So what the hell are they supposed to do now? Doesn't this make them look like idiots?

Firstly, Su Jing's Zen singing had an influence on them, and the collapse of Khenpo Renxingye's tall image caused them to reconsider the meaning of Buddhism taught by Khenpo Renxingye.

"Are you aware of your mistakes?" Su Jing looked down on Khenpo Renxingye and the others kneeling in front of him and spoke with a serene expression on his face.

"I was wrong. I am grateful for Mr. Su's teachings and hope to join your school to further my understanding of Buddhism under your guidance," Khenpo Renxingye said, his face showing sincere and confident piety.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Su Jing a few more times. F*ck, this guy was intimidating, he was able to persuade all the eminent monks to kneel down after participating in a Buddhist debate. He was truly a god-like figure, or perhaps, he is a 'Zeolet,' in the legend.

The media reporters quickly edited the pictures and text information and released the news. Many people who had heard about the event beforehand but were unable to attend in person saw the news one after another and were shocked by what they saw.
