Silence swept across the hall at that moment.

Interestingly, female disciples in the Buddhist discipline are rare. Master Karuna, who is highly esteemed and influential, usually respects visiting leaders. Thus, it’s quite a significant honour that he made an exception by taking Stephanie on as a private disciple.

Philip was visibly the most thrilled, struggling to stand up, his face beaming with pride. He burst out, “Ah, truly a granddaughter the Burnetts can be proud of, to be chosen by the Buddhist disciple. Our ancestors must be smiling down on us!”
