And in that sense, Jeevika envied Korra, who practiced Buddhism with secular freedom and could openly express himself without being criticized for clinging to worldly attachments.In contrast, the Oskian Buddhist scene emphasized monastic practices and to deny worldly attachments. That meant practitioners would simply hide such desires, even if they couldn't really deny that side of themselves.So, he smiled and assured Korra, "I'm sure Buddha will find it appropriate to offer her rebirth, considering how you would praise her so highly. Perhaps you might even find her in the congregation of Buddha when you are freed from your mortal flesh as well."Korra simply smiled, shaking his head as he once again remembered Vera's face. He knew that Vera would never be dead—Buddha had seen it fit to grant her eternal youth, if not immortality.That was when someone shouted, "Halt! The abbot is having a private exchange with Master Jeevika! What's a novice like you doing here instead of guar

There were simply layers to all knowledge and principles that could only be understood by the right people.It's like intel being encrypted within newspaper articles during wartime—to the uninformed, it's just an article. But those with the decryption key, they would understand the message being conveyed.The same applies to Buddhism.After Jeevika's enlightenment, when he reread those scriptures, he naturally gained a deeper understanding. Korra, without enlightenment, could never grasp Jeevika's level of understanding even after a lifetime of reading, so he couldn't help but sigh. "Serendipity sounds so simple, but people can go through lifetimes without encountering such privilege like you do Jeevika's. Such things are one in a million, so why would I demand that I be afforded the same privilege?"Jeevika's expression stiffened, as serendipity sounded vague with the way he put it—almost like it was luck. On the other hand, Korra made it clear that he understood what serendip

Korra's identity requires less secrecy than the likes of Emmett Sandsor.As such, Vera had decided that while meeting Korra here in Rokuon-ji, she didn't have to be as cautious as when she met in Eastcliff.And when Vera asked the novice monk to pass her message, the novice wasn't at all wary like Emmett's guards were back in Eastcliff.Upon hearing that Vera was a distant relative and was sent by her elders, the novice naively bought it.Japanese Buddhism originated in Oskia, when a famous Oskian monk spread Buddhist teachings nationwide, which were quickly adopted. However, after the Meiji Restoration, Shinto and Buddhism underwent significant changes, and the precepts for monks were revised.Before the Meiji Restoration, Japan strictly adhered to the monastic rules of Oskian Buddhism—monks were forbidden from consuming meat and were required to stay celibate. After the Meiji Restoration, Shinto Buddhism gradually became more secular, and most monks were allowed to marry and hav

For that, Ashley was ready for Charlie's resentment. After all, she already put herself through twenty years of pain and humiliation—all so that Charlie had a shot to destroy his foes.So that he never had to hide again.Sighing, she mused, "I wonder if Charlie will meet me when we meet, and he finds out that I was the mastermind..." Stephen shook his head, respectful in his reply, "You're only taking action for the sake of the greater good. I'm sure he'd understand your goodwill." Ashley nodded, quietly wiping away her tears as she smiled. "Fleur always believed that I've survived her attempts to take my life… I might not live to see Charlie rise triumphant, so in that scenario, if either you or Mrs. Sun survived, find Charlie and tell him the truth. As long as he has the last laugh, it doesn't matter if he resents me or refuses to understand. I just want him to know… that he hasn't been all alone all these years."-Meanwhile, at the closed main hall of Rokuon-ji, the elderly

The current Mr. Sato would probably never imagine that he would be meeting the very same Chiyo-chan from his great-grandfather's talesIt's said that even his great-grandfather didn't know Chiyo-chan's real name, aside from the last name Saikawa. It was a common last name, which made finding her an impossible quest.After finishing her bowl of yudofu and paying for it, she happily left the small stall and continued towards Rokuon-ji, all while looking left and right at the shops down the streets.Vera had lived in Japan for a long time, not leaving until the beginning of the 20th century.During her time in Kyoto, she was known as Chiyo-chan the Kind. At that time, Japan was undergoing the Meiji Restoration, transforming from a feudal to an industrial society. While their military also began to modernize, military tribalism had yet to spread nationwide.However, even Kyoto at that time was poverty-stricken. It was why plenty of food stalls and small business owners in the city

Vera nodded as she took a seat at a corner, scanned through the menu and pointed towards the top, at the most prominent signature dish: Matsutake Yudofu. "I'll have a bowl, please." She smiled."Okay, just a moment!" Mr. Sato bowed and hurried to the kitchen to start cooking.Before long, a full bowl of Yudofu was placed right in front of her.The broth was rich and refreshing—a sublime blend of tea and matsutake mushroom aromas.Vera took off her mask and took a small sip of the hot soup, before grinned in satisfaction. "It's wonderful."Mr. Sato, wiping his hands with a towel, smiled with both enthusiasm and pride, "Thank you! I know there are countless Yudofu stalls here in Kyoto, but there's only one offering Matsutake Yudofu and it's here. It's a recipe improvised from traditional Kyoto Yudofu from 1899." Vera made a blank look just like any other innocent young girl, exclaiming in surprise, "Oh! That's a very long history!" Mr. Sato chuckled and said, "Well, not really

Claire must pull up her socks, she must prove her true love for Charlie. Loreen and Jasmine are seriously out to get Charlie, he can easily be swept away by intimacy since he is youthful and rich he will want to enjoy his life since he has nothing else to fight for
i couldn’t have said it better, you are right ...
Charlie is now a hot cake for Jasmine and Loreen. In all sincerity, I think Claire has not proved her love enough to Charlie and to think that they sleep separately after marrying for quite a long time is unfathomable. Where is the love in that? Charlie deserves better.
Hope i can see the images of the characters… ...
Good story line!
hmmm..... i see, so Charlie's building his own harem ;)
that's a bitch for you
Wow how could she ?
Omg lol loreen what are you doing ??❤️
