    Cheng Tianle wondered: "What else do you want me to help you with? If it's to get a green card, I can't help you."

    Yu Fei: "Of course it's not this. I'm just complaining about the green card, it's not a big trouble. Something happened to my family right now, and it really gives me a terrible headache. Mr. Cheng, I lied to you back then, and now I'm running away."  I came to the United States and encountered this kind of thing again. Do you think this is retribution?"

    The more Cheng Tianle listened, the more curious he became: "What happened to your family?"

    Yu Fei: "This time I made an appointment with a few friends to travel to Yellowstone Park, including my boss's family. Originally, my wife would also go with me, but she suddenly had something to do and stayed in Seattle. She and a group of people stayed in Seattle.  I organized activities with the local people, and was also responsible for convening a group of classmates and friends I had met over the years to discuss how to welcome a nun from Taiwan and organize a conference to promote virtue!"

    Yu Fei recounted a recent incident at home.  His job in the software company is to provide technical support and on-site debugging services, and he often travels to various cities on the West Coast of the United States.  About half a year ago, he found that his wife Xiao Qin was studying Buddhism at home and brought back a bunch of Dharma propaganda materials from nowhere, but he didn't pay much attention at the time because it was not a bad thing.

    Not long ago, his wife told him that the famous Buddhist master "Kuan Ru Master" will come to North America to promote Buddhism. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and fate!  Yu Fei had never heard of the name of Master Kuanru, and according to Xiao Qin, this great virtue came from Taiwan Province of China and was the president of the World Association.  The eminent monk's enlightenment process was very mysterious.  While chanting sutras, I saw smallpox appearing in front of my eyes, and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva appeared in person.  Order her to spread the wonderful Dharma in the world.

    So this nun started in Taiwan, then traveled to mainland China, and then traveled to North America.  In addition, according to the sworn claims of her disciples, Master Kuanru is the current incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva. He possesses boundless magic, which can give people the opportunity to realize life, and there are many stories or miracles.

    For example, a certain leukemia patient listened to her advice, took refuge in the "Gongde Mountain" disciples, and was cured immediately.  Another example is a certain rich man.  No matter how much wealth you donate to the "Mountain of Merit", blessings in the world will come rolling in.  The so-called Merit Mountain is a practice organization established by Master Kuanru in the name of promoting merit.

    ¡°If such an extraordinary figure comes to Seattle to preach the Dharma, of course his descendants and disciples will stand in front of him and organize local believers in advance to prepare for the reception.  The Chinese community is their most important area of ??activity.  Introducing more people to listen to Buddhism is said to be a great merit.  Yu Fei's lover Xiao Qin is obviously one of the very active activists. She introduced many classmates, friends and neighbors to go, and also attracted her husband Yu Fei to go.

    Master Kuan Ru has not yet arrived, and Yu Fei is attending a Dharma introduction meeting hosted by Master Chen Mengyuan, a disciple of Master Kuan Ru and said to be a great sage.  Yu Fei had no research on Buddhism and just accompanied his wife to watch the fun.  But the more I listened, the more I felt something was wrong.  Although he doesn't understand Buddhism, he has been in a pyramid scheme for a long time and is very sensitive to some brainwashing and money-making methods.

    Buddhism and Buddhism have been spread for more than two thousand years. Since ancient times, scholars and writers have been true Buddhists or not.  When reciting poems and writing poems, they often quote a few classic lines.  In today's information age, it is not difficult to collect and organize relevant scripture commentaries and modern explanatory information.  They are borrowed by different people for different uses.

    "The layman Mengyuan" first gave a set of universally applicable theories of compassion and persuasion to do good, combined with various Buddhist allusions.  Yu Fei didn't quite understand the metaphysical philosophical speculation, but he didn't hear anything wrong with it.  At least 99% of what Chen Mengyuan said is difficult for ordinary people to find fault with, unless a real mage comes to ask them point by point.

    But the remaining 1% of the content made Yu Fei frightened, because this layman Mengyuan focused on "merit".  The lay people here have heard so much about the mysteries of Buddhism. How can they practice diligently and gain inner self-confidence and light?  Of course it requires proving the so-called merit!  When Master Kuan Ru teaches the Dharma to the human world, he has a great ambition to make a mountain of merit and virtue, so their practice organization is called Gong De Mountain.

    Mengyuan layman tells everyone that if your heart is not peaceful enough, if you are still suffering, then please examine your true soul and accumulate real merits.  How to do it specifically is to donate money.  Master Mengyuan also told many "stories that really happened", in which someone donated as much as he or she donated to Gongde Mountain, and the result was whatever it was.

    Someone at the scene said they wanted to do meritorious deeds. Yu Fei even doubted whether these people were pre-arranged entrusters, but later he found out that at least not all of them were.  A classmate he met while studying abroad was a third-generation rich man and a second-generation rich man. Now he also owns many industries in Seattle, USA. He actually said that he wanted toDonate a large house to serve as the "dojo" for Master Kuanru to promote Buddhism in Seattle.

    The layman Mengyuan also claimed that the more you donate, the more merit you will receive. If you don¡¯t have any spare money at the moment, borrowing money to make merit can better show your sincerity and get the protection of Buddhism!  It was these words that made Yu Fei break into a cold sweat.  The guy on the stage just encouraged the believers in the audience to make donations, but he actually encouraged people who didn't have much money to borrow money and donate money to them in the name of doing meritorious deeds.

    As a "experienced person", Yu Fei, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this group of people seemed to be engaged in pyramid schemes, but they had just changed their skin.  After returning home, he searched online for information about the so-called "Master Kuanru" and the "Gongdeshan" organization.  As expected, there is a lot of information on the Internet, most of which are "believers" from all over the world praising Master Kuan Ru, as well as the promotion of various wonderful magic and miracles of this man. It seems that he is simply a Bodhisattva in the world.

    ¡°But Yu Fei is also doing it after all. After filtering the information, he found that the so-called International XX Association is a non-governmental organization that can register itself for a few thousand dollars.  But he didn't find any record of Master Kuan Ru being a monk or being ordained. After a long time, he was just a nun.

    The more Yu Fei thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he hurriedly checked his bank account. Sure enough, in addition to normal expenses, he had recently spent an extra five thousand US dollars for no apparent reason.  Yu Fei's life is not too well-off, but he has been in the United States for many years. He worked part-time while studying. After graduation, he also got a fairly stable white-collar job. Due to the traditional Chinese habits, he had a lot of money on hand.  I still had some savings and planned to buy a house in the suburbs of Seattle in the future, but now I suddenly lost so much.

    He quickly asked his wife, Xiao Qin, and unexpectedly learned that the donation was made to Gongde Mountain while he was not at home.  Yu Fei was furious at the time and asked her why she donated such a large amount of money without authorization.  My wife, Xiao Qin, explained that all the classmates and friends who participated in the Fa conference activities had donated, and she, the convener, was too embarrassed not to take the lead.  And under the influence of the atmosphere at that time, she felt that only doing this was the right pursuit in life, and the so-called money was not important.

    Yu Fei could not continue to rebuke Xiao Qin, because he knew how kind and enthusiastic she was, so he had to tell her his doubts sincerely and dissuade her from getting involved in this kind of thing again.  From Yu Fei's point of view, Chen Mengyuan and the gang behind him, Kuan Runun, were cheating money under the guise of promoting Buddhism.  Xiao Qin listened with suspicion, and used many "Buddhist virtues" theories he heard at the Dharma meeting to question Yu Fei.  When the debate reached such a specious philosophical level, Yu Fei became a little overwhelmed.

    But no matter what, Yu Fei asked Xiao Qin not to continue participating in the activities of the so-called missionary group.  Xiao Qin was actually somewhat tempted by the suggestion, but she was still embarrassed to tell Yu Fei that she was the convener of Master Kuan Ru's Dharma promotion activities in the area nearby. She had received a lot of praise and attention for this, so she just gave up her job and said she wouldn't do it.  If you don't do it, I'm afraid it won't be appropriate.

    Xiao Qin has no job after graduation. He usually participates in and organizes various activities and gatherings, not only because of his interest, but also as a way of living and socializing.  She knew many Chinese students during her college years. After graduation, she also participated in many gatherings in the Chinese community. She was very enthusiastic about organizing activities and found spiritual joy and satisfaction from them.

    Since coming into contact with this "Dharma-promoting" organization, she has also convened several small Dharma gatherings as a liaison. She was respectfully called "Dharma Protector" by the layman Mengyuan. She is very valued in this small circle, and there are always people praising her.  Propagating the Dharma has great merit and merit.  As the saying goes, it is difficult to step down after being promoted, so Xiao Qin decided to finish the remaining things. If there were really any problems, he would find an opportunity to slowly fade out.

    Yu Fei¡¯s trip this time was originally arranged with a few colleagues.  As a result, Xiao Qin stayed in Seattle temporarily because the local Gongdeshan branch organization was going to hold a preparatory meeting on how to welcome Master Kuanru.  The content of the meeting is very specific. Basically, the activists share the responsibility and contact relatives and friends to participate in the Dharma meeting. Don¡¯t miss this golden opportunity. It is only communicated between private parties. The information is not disclosed to the outside world. Whoever can come is destined to come.  Dharma and wisdom.

    Yu Fei finally said: "Mr. Cheng, I have not studied Buddhism or anything. I know what that group of people does, but I can't completely convince my wife. I know you are a capable person, and you are also known as  As a master, can you give me some advice and tell me what to do?"

    Cheng Tianle frowned and said: "I am not a master, and I am not a Buddhist. But I have seen real eminent monks, and they can never be that kind of thing! As for what to think and do when encountering such a thing  , it¡¯s actually not that complicated, just think according to normal people¡¯s way of thinking.¡±
