Chapter 46 Chapter Forty-Four

You still don't know this history! From Mount Putuo to Shanghai by boat, Xie Huiren's mind echoed the old monk's words over and over again.He understood the weight of that statement, and now, the mystery was so exhausting to him that he had no energy left to continue.Those who seemed to be in the know either kept their mouths shut forever or were vague. In many cases, it is better not to say anything than to be vague. But man is a kind of strange animal. When he knows nothing, he can think about nothing. When he understands completely, he can stop thinking about it. He is afraid that he will not be able to control his desires when he has only a half-knowledge.This is not a desire to know, but a desire to acquire.Behind this desire is human insignificance and timidity.Only when a person realizes his own insignificance and weakness, can he have awe in his heart, and this awe makes people expand their desires all the time.This desire, most of the time, is to hope to know the truth, or when you actually have money and status, so that you can protect your own smallness and weakness.

There was never a strongman.Any strong person in the world is trying to protect his small and weak, so as to master more wealth.Because their desires are stronger. The Buddhists say that people do not have the wisdom of the Buddha and cannot understand the truth, so they have wrong views.Xie Huiren understands that he can't control his desire. This desire is the life experience of the two orphans and the future happiness of the two childhood sweethearts.This desire told him that he must solve this mystery in order to protect the weak. When seeing Sally, Xie Huiren repeatedly reminded himself to persevere, even if it was only for her, in order to understand the life experience of a lonely woman, he had to do so.It is cruel for people to live without birth experience.

Xie Huiren stood on the pier, turned around and looked at the boundless sea, realizing that nothing more vast could hold this mystery.He often compares Buddhism to the sea, which makes human beings unable to see the edge, let alone the depth.Human beings can see the outline of the ocean from space, but who can see its depth, and who can truly understand the secrets of the seabed?How much it contains is the same as we don't know what other treasures are on land. Human beings always don't know the depth, but they have to explore the depth.This is the unavoidable destiny of human beings, and it is the theme of this destiny that makes human beings live forever.

The waves beat against the pier, and Xie Huiren couldn't tell whether it was a calm caress or a raging roar.He looked in the direction of Mount Putuo and prayed again that Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva could give him some enlightenment, even if it was a mirage, so that he could see the reflection of the truth in the distance. Xie Huiren stared blankly into the distance, and silently recited the "Pumen Pin" in the "Miaofa Lotus Sutra" in his heart.This section says that Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva can manifest thirty-three incarnations and save twelve kinds of catastrophes.As long as the suffering beings recite his name, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva will hear it and rush to rescue them immediately.

Although it is not a big problem in front of him, for Xie Huiren, it is a problem that bothers him extremely.Great Mercy and Great Compassion Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva who saves the suffering.By reciting its name, you will be liberated.Compassionate with happiness and compassion with suffering.Now, Xie Huiren doesn't know which one he wants, compassion or compassion. Perhaps, the two are the same at this time. Suddenly, an imperceptible smile flashed across his eyes.He heard a hint from Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. Sally tugged at the corner of his clothes and said softly, "Brother, we have to go, don't miss the flight back to Shenzhen."

"No." Xie Huiren shook his head resolutely, he still looked at the sea, and said a few words thoughtfully, "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva told me, let's go to Guangzhou." "Are you crazy?" Sally couldn't see what he was joking about, he seemed serious, but the idea was so unreasonable, she said anxiously, "Brother, did you have some hallucinations? " Xie Huiren turned around, looked at Sally with a smile, and said happily, "No! I found another clue, and I can't guess wrong this time." Sally shook her head and sighed softly. "I know, I know..." From her helpless and helpless eyes, Xie Huiren could understand her mood, "Sally, it is said in the Buddhist scriptures that when encountering difficulties, just chanting the name of Avalokitesvara will heal you." Free yourself, try it."

Sally didn't believe this, she looked at Xie Huiren calmly, and said angrily, "I don't want to continue, that's enough." Xie Huiren was at a loss, he took a step forward, supported her shoulders with both hands, his eyes were earnest, and there was a hint of pleading in his words, "Try it, just try it." "Okay, but I don't expect Avalokitesvara to tell me anything." Sally closed her eyes and muttered, "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, South Sea Avalokitesvara..." She felt that Xie Huiren's grip on her shoulders was suddenly tighter, and she couldn't help opening her eyes. Xie Huiren was staring at her in surprise and joy, as if she was about to jump up in excitement.He said, "Listen, Sally, Avalokitesvara also gave you a hint. He told us to go to Guangzhou."

Sally was afraid that Xie Huiren had lost his mind, she really couldn't understand what he was saying, "What? What nonsense are you talking about. Please!" "Hey!" Xie Huiren was a little anxious, but he knew she hadn't reacted yet, "Who are you reading?" "Avalokitesvara, Guanshiyin Bodhisattva of the South China Sea." "His name is the Great Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, but what you recite is the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva of the South China Sea—this is a folk saying." "What's the difference? Everyone reads it that way."

"Yes." Xie Huiren's eyes sparkled with excitement, and he said happily, "Isn't that why he asked us to go to Guangzhou?" Sally shook her head vigorously, she really thought he was out of order now. "Has your company ever auctioned any of Kang Youwei's calligraphy works?" What does this mean?Sally recalled that a few months ago the company did auction off a couplet written by Kang Youwei, but what happened?What is the relationship between Kang Youwei and Avalokitesvara? Xie Huiren continued to remind her, "Guangzhou, Kang Youwei." Sally thought about it carefully, then suddenly took a deep breath and opened her mouth wide, "Brother, you really have it, can you figure it out?"

"That's right! Kang Youwei is called Mr. Nanhai, Kang Nanhai!" Xie Huiren clapped his hands together, "If I hadn't mispronounced the name of Avalokitesvara, I would never have thought of it. Guangzhou was called Nanhai County in ancient times." At this time, Sally's cell phone rang. She looked at the number and smiled at Xie Huiren, "Brother, you are lucky. The Japanese called. He must be waiting for us in Guangzhou." Before Xie Huiren could hold the phone firmly, Suzuki said eagerly, "Mr. Xie, are you and Miss Sally still in Shanghai?"

"Yes, we are going back to Guangdong, but I don't know if the flight will be smooth." "Mr. Xie, please meet with me as soon as possible, Mr. Fujiwara, he..." At this moment, Suzuki was silent, and after a while, there was a soft sobbing sound from the other end of the phone. "Mr. Suzuki? What happened to Mr. Fujiwara?" "He...he's dying!" Xie Huiren was surprised, three days ago he was still fine, very energetic, laughing from time to time, why did he suddenly fail.Xie Huiren didn't believe this was true, but he knew that Suzuki couldn't make fun of it.The important thing is that the old man Fujiwara is the most important person in this matter. If the master cannot be found, only he can tell the truth of the matter clearly. "Tell me, what's going on?!" "Critical illness, very bad." "Didn't you be fine last Saturday?" "He was already very sick. In order to see you, he stayed up all afternoon that day. In fact..." Suzuki paused, adjusted his emotions, and continued, "After you left that day, he was sent to the hospital. Arrived at the hospital." Xie Huiren pondered, thought for a moment, and asked, "He asked you to come to us?" "Yes, he said that no matter what the husband's progress is, he must go to Japan to see him tomorrow." "What else did he say?" "He asked me to pick you up, but he thought you were in Guangzhou, but he didn't expect you to be in Shanghai. Sir, can you go directly to Japan from Shanghai?" Suzuki sniffled, "I'm afraid, it's too late." Xie Huiren was startled, Fujiwara thought he was in Guangzhou?What does it mean?Could it be that Fujiwara already knew that he would definitely go to Guangzhou?He already knew the answer to the mystery, and was just waiting for Xie Huiren to find out!However, Xie Huiren made a wrong judgment and came to Shanghai. "Mr. Suzuki, can you do it tomorrow? I'm going to Guangzhou tomorrow for a small matter, and I'm going to Japan right away." "But, Mr. Xie..." "Mr. Suzuki—" Xie Huiren knew what he meant, but still interrupted him, "I guarantee that I will be able to go to Japan tomorrow, and you can book an international flight tomorrow afternoon." There was silence on the phone for a while, and he said helplessly, "Okay, Mr. Xie, please." Just as Suzuki was about to put down the phone, he heard Xie Huiren say hurriedly, "Wait, Mr. Suzuki, tomorrow we will go to Guangxiao Temple in Guangzhou. I think that's why Mr. Fujiwara asked you to come. Remember, it's from Guangzhou. Guangxiao Temple." Guangxiao Temple?Sally listened, bewildered.
