"Isn't this the case with temples nowadays? Beliefs and piety are all sidelined, and everything is about money!"
"Yes, it used to be said that the entrance to the government office faces south, and if you don't have money, don't come in. I see, now even the entrance to the temple faces south."
"They are so pitiful, mother and son. What's wrong with letting them touch the stone monkey? How can they be considered as Buddhists if they are so cold-blooded?"
Boom! As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, a burst of laughter immediately rang out in the venue.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, the monks in many temples nowadays are no longer there to save devout believers, but to serve the rich.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just take Baiyun Temple as an example, if you want to light the first incense stick every year, don’t even think about it unless you spend over a million dollars.
Moreover, it costs 500 yuan to ring the prayer bell in the temple once. If you ring it ten or so times, a month's salary will be gone.
If it weren't for the desire for good luck, who would be willing to spend this money
It is even said that a well-known temple in China is planning to go public like some companies in order to make money.
These monks don't look like Buddhist disciples at all, they are just a bunch of money-grubbers.
"How can you talk like that? Buddhism emphasizes cause and effect. The reason why this child got this disease is because of the cause he planted in his previous life, so he has to bear the bad consequences in this life, so Buddhism can't save him!"
The fat monk heard the laughter and jeers from the crowd and couldn't help but feel a little flustered. He quickly put on a solemn expression and retorted.
Charging for touching the stone monkey is a major source of income for Baiyun Temple every year.
If this source of income was cut off because of Ye Feng's instigation, he would not be able to report to the abbot.
"Nonsense! Since you said that the reason this child is like this is because he did something bad in his previous life and sowed the seeds for it, then tell me, what evil did he do in his previous life that he has to endure such evil?"
Ye Feng smiled coldly and rebuked the fat monk righteously.
The fat monk was speechless when he heard this. What he just said was all made up. He was not a Bodhisattva, so how could he possibly tell what this child had done in his previous life.
“I… I…” He opened his mouth and grunted a few times. Then, the fat monk’s eyes darkened and he said, “I’m telling you, don’t make trouble here, or I’ll get someone to kick you out! As for why the child was not allowed to touch him, it’s because he has no affinity with Buddha. Buddha saves those who have affinity with him, but he has no affinity with him, so naturally he can’t be touched!”
“Hahaha… What a coincidence…” Hearing that, Ye Feng couldn't help but raised his head and laughed wantonly.
Buddha saves those who have affinity with him, and cannot save those who have no affinity with him!
These words sound so noble and so flawless.
But a baby who is just half a year old, apart from crying, eating, defecating, urinating and sleeping, has a heart that is probably no different from a blank piece of paper. What kind of evil can be in the heart of such a little guy
Furthermore, not to mention that previous lives may not exist, even if they do exist, why should we pay for the sins committed in the previous life in this life
What crime did the children commit to deserve such decades of torture? !
"Don't make a fuss here. The hospital can't cure his illness. So what's the harm if he touches the stone monkey?"
The fat monk swallowed his saliva, hoping to send Ye Feng away as soon as possible.
"Don't say anything, I'm leaving..." The woman was already in tears. After looking at Ye Feng with gratitude, she wanted to leave this sad place with her baby in her arms.
Every word and every sentence of the fat monk was like a ruthless knife to her, piercing her heart into pieces, leaving no intact place.
"Don't worry!" How could Ye Feng let this poor mother and son leave like this? He stretched out his hand to hold her, and said with a smile, "If Buddha doesn't save people, I will! A mere polio can't stop me!"
"Can you cure this disease?" The woman trembled involuntarily when she heard the voice.
Over the past six months, she has taken her child to various hospitals in China and met countless doctors, hoping to find a way to cure her child's disease.
But unfortunately, the result was not as expected. Although the family’s savings had been used up and they could not even afford the mere 200 yuan required to touch the stone monkey, all the doctors were still helpless in dealing with the child’s condition.
According to those doctors, with today's scientific and technological means, there is no medicine to control the occurrence and development of body deformities caused by the sequelae of polio. Unless a miracle happens, no one can cure it.
There were even doctors who told her and her husband to have another child to avoid continuing to suffer like this.
But now, Ye Feng said that he could cure this terminal illness. How could she not be happy, yet how could she not hesitate
So many hospitals and so many doctors can't cure this disease, can this young man cure it? !
"Don't worry, there is no disease in this world that he can't cure!"
Without waiting for Ye Feng to speak, Jiang Yuxin nodded firmly and spoke to the woman with full confidence.
"Haha, he's so arrogant. There's no disease he can't cure. Is he the Buddha?" The fat monk looked disdainful.
Although he was not proficient in medicine, he knew that there was no proper treatment for polio even in modern medicine. It was ridiculous for Ye Feng to say that he could cure the baby.
"In my opinion, even Buddha is not as powerful as him!" Jiang Yuxin stiffened her neck and retorted loudly.
The fat monk sneered continuously, saying that he was even more arrogant than Buddha. His arrogance was really too great.
"Big sister, give me the child. Believe me, I will definitely give you a healthy little one!"
Ye Feng ignored the fat monk's sarcastic remarks, calmly extended his hand to the woman and said calmly.
The woman looked at Ye Feng, then looked at the child in her arms, and slowly handed the child to Ye Feng.
This disease has tormented her and her child for too long, and even if there is a glimmer of hope, she wants to give it a try.
Moreover, she could feel that Ye Feng was not a bad person, and even if he couldn't cure the child, he would not harm him.
"Please everyone move aside and give me some space!" Ye Feng carefully took the child and smiled kindly at the people around him. After the crowd formed a three-meter circle, he said to the fat monk, "Don't you believe that I can cure him? Then stand closer to me and open your eyes to see how I cure him!"
The fat monk sneered, strode to Ye Feng, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and looked like he was waiting for a good show.
It’s just a dream to want to cure polio at such a young age, especially in an environment without any medical facilities!
