After Wang Yao had boarded the plane, he found that the monk had already been there. They were on the same plane and in the same cabinet. What was even more coincidental was that their seats were close—they were only separated by the cabinet aisle.
"You really are destined to meet the Buddha," said the monk with a smile.
"I'm destined to meet you. Are you Buddha?" Wang Yao sat down and smiled.
"Yes," said the monk without hesitation.
"What?" said Wang Yao in surprise. "Are you not afraid of being blamed by the real Buddha?
"Buddha said, everyone is Buddha," the monk said with a smile.
"You are very articulate," said Wang Yao.
"I am flattered," said the monk.
The plane was going to take off soon; Wang Yao stopped talking to the monk and just sat quietly.
With a big noise, the plane took off into the sky.
"Do you live in Haiqu?" asked the monk after the plane was stable.
"Yes," said Wang Yao.
