"Amitabha!" the Buddhas hastily followed suit in returning the gesture.
Speaking of the grand event, they were all brimming with enthusiasm. After all, why had most of them joined Buddhism?
Wasn't it for the promise of a Buddha's destiny and the flourishing of Buddhism? By then, as Buddhas themselves, they would benefit immensely.
Otherwise, why would they have forsaken the Tao to follow Buddhism?
For a moment, the entire Spirit Mountain echoed with the sound of Buddhist chants.
However, on the great hall, there was a monk of handsome appearance who seemed lost in thought, silent, his eyes filled with interest.
At the Buddhist feast, there would be an exchange of Buddhist Law. Could he, then, also present his own insights?
He had accumulated many unique understandings of the Buddhist Law, and what better occasion to share them than at such a grand assembly like the Buddhist feast?
Perhaps, his master would then regard him with new respect.
