Chapter 752: Chapter Forty-Six: Visitors of the Elegant Garden

“In only a few days, the Buddha Son has added a Zen charm to this humble hut, reviving life in these withered plants and grass. I’m humbled by his profound cultivation.” Duan Qianchou complimented Yankong while returning his bow.

“I appreciate your kindness, Mr. Duan, but all beings follow their own natural laws, just as life and death have their own cycle. This seemingly withered vegetation is striving for survival in its roots, it’s hardly my doing.”

Yankong opened the gate, invited Duan Qianchou into the house, and brewed some tea. After tasting it, the Buddha Son gently asked the renowned young disciple from Martial Saint Mountain, “What brings Mr. Duan to me today?”

“Nothing important.” Duan Qianchou put down his teacup and asked Yankong, “I just want to know, since the Buddha Son has mastered the Sutra of No Suffering and Extinction, have you found any successor?”

In Zen, each chant and sutra requires different practices. Yankong, who has gained minor accomplishment in the Sutra of No Suffering and Extinction, is revered as the Buddha Son because the lineage of this sutra has long been lost. Yankong revived it purely through his intuition and wisdom, which is exceptionally significant to Zen.

Therefore, Yankong’s travels are not only to observe the world and its beings but also to find potential Zen disciples, so as to promote the lineage of the Sutra of No Suffering and Extinction.

This is why the Buddha Son Yankong preaches wherever he goes. Apart from spreading Zen teachings, his aim is also to find a successor.
