Part One: Such is My Name 943. Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers have been traversed, and I have exhausted all my efforts and found something.
Yu Fei also frowned and said: "That's what I said, but my wife talked a lot about the merits of giving, and asked me how to refute it? She is actually a bit stuck, but I hope I can completely convince her."
Cheng Tianle shook his head and said: "It is not easy to persuade her. Not only does it make her understand, but it also requires her to make up her mind to deny the price and effort she has put in. This is difficult for anyone. For example, we often encounter some People, if you disagree with some of their views, what they value is not your ideas, but the feeling that you have denied them. Because many times, people really live by their feelings.
So when they discuss their opinions with you, they are not comparing who is more rational, more truthful, truthful and logical, but who is more patient and able to persevere to the end. Even the opinions and facts themselves are no longer important to them. It is you who must be denied, and you must conform to their definitions in order to gain self-affirmation and satisfaction. Even if we discuss some purely personal experience topics online, we will often encounter this kind of situation, let alone this kind of thing?
Normally, people who are sane and mentally healthy will not behave like this. But if you have been in a MLM gang, you must know how easy it is to convince the other party if you think according to their way of thinking? Even if you persuade your lover at home, I'm afraid you have already anticipated it and set the trap in advance.
People will say that this is the karma in the practice. Some people will constantly interfere with and stop you, and ask all kinds of doubts. Don't be angry or discouraged. Use great compassion to convince and influence these people. Let them finally fall into the embrace of Buddhism. This is also practice and merit. "
Yu Fei nodded and said: "Yes, yes, that group has said so a long time ago. Your family or friends may not understand what you said, because they do not understand the greatness of Buddhism. This is the karma we should face, We must use patience and determination to change and dye them"
Cheng Tianle: "This is changing the concept. Is the greatness of Buddhism necessarily related to how much money you donate to them? MLM is just taking advantage of people's greed and telling people that they can get something by repeating simple deception patterns. A huge success. And this group of guys who use preaching to defraud money is even more abominable. They not only take advantage of some people's inner uneasiness and confusion, as well as their yearning for mysterious things, but they also extract and squander people's real goodwill.
For example, it is too cruel to promote borrowing money to do meritorious deeds, asking people to sell their property or borrow money to donate money to them! Can a Bodhisattva accept such money? If you accept it, is that a Bodhisattva? I believe your wife is a very kind and warm-hearted person, and she has done so many things for them. Not for personal gain, but also donated the money you two saved through frugality to them. It is precisely the deception and use of people like her that is most intolerable. "
Some of these words were said by Cheng Tianle, and some were said by Xiao Shao through his mind. Yu Fei nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, I thought so too. So I immediately heard that there was a problem. But now it is my wife who is trapped. I persuaded her for a long time and she is still doing it, so let's forget it for five thousand dollars. , but don¡¯t bring anyone else in!¡±
Cheng Tianle: "It's not her and your family's $5,000 who got involved. Don't forget that your wife is also an event convener. He contacted many classmates and friends to attend the Kuanlu nun's Dharma conference. He is also an accomplice in doing so. nature. But when many people do this kind of thing, their starting point is good intentions. They really believe that they are spreading merit. Even if sometimes they find something is wrong, they have to try to convince themselves to believe it. This is the most troublesome thing. Condition."
Yu Fei: "Yes. Why didn't I think of this! I have to tell my wife after I go back that if those people are really cheating money, she is helping them cheat. If someone comes back to think about it in the future To settle the score with them, you have to find her head first! My wife is timid, so she might not dare to do it."
Cheng Tianle: "You can try this if you face your lover in your own home, but what if there are so many people? Do you know when that Kuanlu nun will arrive in Seattle?"
Yu Fei: "It is said that we have to wait for several months. Now we are just warming up and building momentum. We will spread the word about this Sanwutuni in private to become more and more amazing. Then the scene will be sensational enough!"
Cheng Tianle: "Some things do seem to be willing to take the bait. On the surface, people are not forced to do meritorious deeds at knifepoint. People do it voluntarily. But this does not mean that those who set up scams are not evil. If you encounter There are some things that should be done. What¡¯s more, this group of people has some relationship with us. If the Kuanlu nun comes to Seattle, you may see an old acquaintance next to her, which is Yun from the MLM gang. Leader¡ª¡ªYun Shaoxian."
"What? Yun Shaoxian!" Yu Fei screamed in surprise, slammed on the brakes, and turned to look at Cheng Tianle.
Cheng Tianle said unhurriedly: "Do you remember Shen Sibao? He was also in the MLM gang with us back then. He has been tracking down Yun Shaoxian's news recently, and asked me to help find out, but unexpectedly, he found you Got a clue here.¡±
Cheng Tianle told Yu Feiyun Shaoxian's various "deeds". After the MLM gang was taken down, this person had set up a spiritual training class in the mainland. Later, he hung out with a nun who claimed to be the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva. Come from abroad to ¡°promote Buddhism.¡± The Taiwanese nun is called Kuan Lu, and their organization is De Gong Shan.
Shen Sibao has already checked the materials that Yu Fei searched on the Internet, but apart from various miraculous propaganda, there are no clues about the whereabouts of the core members of this organization. According to Yu Fei's introduction, they usually hold "fa promotion activities" in the form of private gatherings. As for Kuanlu and the "Dharma Protector" Yun Shaoxian and others around her, they will not show up easily. Even the so-called disciples usually don't know where they are.
Today is a coincidence. Cheng Tianle met Yu Fei by chance and learned the clue. The Kuanlu nun will come to Seattle in a few months, and Yun Shaoxian will probably show up. When Yu Fei mentioned Yun Shaoxian, he gritted his teeth with hatred. He didn't expect that even though he ran from China to the United States, he still didn't escape this man's harm. What that Degong Mountain is is now self-evident.
? Continuing to drive on the road, we have entered the Seattle municipal area ahead. This is a beautiful city and the most economically developed region in the northwest United States. It has a mild climate and the surrounding plains and mountains are covered by lush jungles. Harbors, rivers, and green trees are dotted inside and outside the city, and there are many beautiful lakes dotted in the wilderness surrounding the city.
Seattle has a population of more than three million, and the composition of its residents is very complex, including whites, blacks, native Indians, Spanish and Latin American descendants, and more than 400,000 Asian immigrants. There are also more than 40,000 homeless people in this city, sleeping in various neighborhoods and receiving relief regularly.
Various religious sects have activities here, including Catholicism, Protestantism, Orthodox Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism and Islam, as well as many scattered so-called sects. Therefore, the missionary activities in this area did not attract much attention. The nun in Kuanlu had done some research and found the right place.
Yu Fei said bitterly: "My wife knows that I am in the MLM gang, and I have told her everything. When I went back today, I told her that it turned out that Sanwutuni and Yun Shaoxian were in the same group. She You will definitely understand it completely.¡±
Cheng Tianle dissuaded him: "Don't do that first. Can I ask you for a favor? Don't tell anyone about meeting me or what I said after you go back, otherwise you may alert the snake. Shen Sibao has been While tracing the whereabouts of Yun Shaoxian, this is an opportunity to root them out. Just wait a moment. If that Kuanlu nun really comes to Seattle, let me know immediately if there is any news. As for the rest, Just leave it to me and Si Bao."
Yu Fei was overjoyed to see Cheng Tianle and insisted on inviting him to his home as a guest, saying that he must treat him warmly and fulfill his friendship as a landlord. But Cheng Tianle refused, saying that we would talk about it later and that he didn¡¯t want to show up yet. Cheng Tianle also told Yu Fei that if Kuanlu really came, Yu Fei had better not attend those Dharma meetings anymore to avoid being recognized by Yun Shaoxian.
After the discussion, the two left each other¡¯s contact information, and Cheng Tianle got out of the car and walked, quickly disappearing into the jungle on the roadside. He immediately contacted Tao Zongheng and Shen Sibao in Vancouver, Canada, and told them that he had clues about Yun Shaoxian's whereabouts. That Kuanlu nun will come to Seattle in the United States in a few months, and Yun Shaoxian will probably show up. Even if he doesn't show up, Yun Shaoxian's whereabouts can be traced through the fake nun.
What a coincidence, Tao Zongheng and Shen Sibao also wanted to contact Cheng Tianle for something. Before they could get in touch, Cheng Tianle called first. They also told Cheng Tianle good news - they may have found traces of Shen Yinpo!
Tao Zongheng heard this from a neighbor by chance at a local Chinese gathering. This neighbor of his traveled to the United States during the holidays last year and organized a group of Chinese acquaintances to drive together and develop the "travel friends organization" abroad. They visited the famous Grand Canyon and also camped in a beautiful valley.
According to Tao Zongheng, a neighbor, there were no clouds in the sky that night, the air was very fresh, the moonlight was exceptionally bright, and the tent left a clear shadow on the hillside. He and a few friends climbed to the top of a nearby mountain and looked at the moonlit scenery of the canyon. In a deep and curved ravine in front of them, they suddenly saw little flashes of stars dancing.
