Chapter 79: A Wonderful Conversation

After returning to the European Buddhist Headquarters, he took the opportunity to report on the work of the domestic branch in the past six months, which is also a common practice after each new undertaking of the organization. But it's not just a simple report.

He participated in every activity of the domestic branch with emotion and reported to the headquarters vividly. There is not only a report of the project, but also the laying out of the story, and the description of touching details, which is simply a report of deeds. This was greatly appreciated by several leaders at the headquarters.

He said that every employee of the domestic branch is a good person, and everyone regards themselves as the master, and there is no prevarication, and some are scrambling to do things and practice.

First, on the three major projects, Master Fang Shiqi led us to many in-depth field visits, some of them went to the second time, several of us are also actively in contact with the local government, so far, two land transfer agreements have been signed, and approved by the land department, after the headquarters will inspect and demonstrate, you can start construction. Among them, there is a super-large project, and our branch has not yet made up its mind, and hopes that the leaders of the headquarters will return to China as soon as possible to investigate and demonstrate, and then make a decision. This is the construction of the world's first Buddhist hall at the mouth of the Yangtze River. According to the investigation of several of our old people, we also solicited the opinions of the relevant local parts, it is still feasible, and it is a very important façade, it is expected that after completion, it will be a world-class Pure Land of Buddhism, and it is also the ancestral hall of promoting Buddhism, which is worth going to the scene to see the terrain and look forward to the future.

Fang Shiqi and Wuchen and I also made a preliminary budget, if we want to build an 81-story tall main hall building, plus the ancillary facilities on the ground, it is estimated that the expenditure will be about 10 billion. If the land transfer can be successfully negotiated with the local government, 500 million yuan can be saved. In addition, when building, if the power of some believers is used, the expenditure of 300 million yuan can be saved. The third aspect is materials, and similar work is also done, and there is a surplus of more than 400 million. In this way, it can save 1.2 billion yuan and donate it to several livelihood projects, which is also the well-being of the people. We thought of the support project for primary and secondary schools in the western region, the establishment of a nationwide psychological counseling and service project, and the cause of benefiting the country through Buddhism, all of which are very good deeds to serve the country.

At this time, the president asked him, "Master Jiang, what is the work of your branch in this project?" Is there any preliminary design drawings or anything, and let us old guys look forward to it, Master Jiang hurriedly asked the apprentice to submit the sketches and three-dimensional display drawings. While looking at the picture, the five masters discussed it with some excitement, this said, Master Fang Shiqi is too unique, the old ones are over 100 years old, and they have such ambitions, their feelings are pitiful, and their ambitions are commendable. The president was also a little moved, so he said, after a while, we will discuss this matter, and give Mrs. Fang a reassurance as soon as possible, so that her old man can be relieved as soon as possible. Everyone agreed.

Then, Jiang Qingshan continued to report that regarding the construction of martial arts schools and Buddhist bases, we have recruited teachers and compiled teaching materials, and a total of more than 40 teachers and editors have been recruited.

The third thing, the masters also saw, is that the editors of the Buddhist journal found that I don't know how the reaction in Europe is, but the country is surprisingly good, we expect that the number of subscriptions in half a year will reach 100,000 even if the first part is successful, no, as of the time I return to China, the number of subscriptions has exceeded the million mark, and there are already 1.18 million orders. After the previous contest, Buddhism has begun to become a hot topic in China, with many participants, including ordinary people at the grassroots level, experts and scholars, and leaders at all levels have participated. Judging from the statistics of the winners, there are not only computer science students, but also intelligent scientists, as well as business leaders, which is really a great harvest.

The president asked, "Do you have any touching deeds?" and tell them about them. And he said, Yes. Whether it is the work of the agenda or these major events, there are touching people and things. During the inspection, thanks to the relationship and initiative between Luo Tianxing and Shi Jiaxuan, our work was carried out smoothly and the progress was accelerated. The two of them treat our business as their own business, serious, responsible, positive, willing to use their brains and find solutions. It is a good helper and partner of our branch, but the treatment is a little low, I hope the headquarters will give a certain amount of care, after all, they are family people, thousands of dollars a month, so they are a little too much. Nowadays, the domestic property is very high, and it is difficult to maintain it.

When the president heard this, he immediately said that this matter should be decided now, with a monthly salary of 15,000 yuan, and a single job will be paid quarterly, with a maximum of 100,000 yuan. Do you have any opinions? When he saw that no one objected, he said, "Let's do it, secretary, write it down for the record."

The questions of the Buddhist competition were all made by these two young people, and our branch only made the final check, from the question to the judgment paper, they were all working hard, and of course, other people in the branch also actively participated in it. You may not have seen the latest issue of the journal, but I brought some back this time, and the readers of the magazine who read the magazine have responded strongly to asking for more articles and discussions on strengthening Buddhism and life and career, which has formed a strong demand force, and this is the biggest backer and belief that we have always adhered to.

We calculated that in order to run this publication well, Shi Jiaxuan and Luo Tianxing were very hard and responsible, taking into account all aspects of the country, and published four kinds of publications, which also won the active participation, attention and welcome of people from all walks of life. In the past six months, we have spent 1.5 million yuan, and through sales and distribution, we have recovered nearly 4 million yuan, which is a great situation that we have never had in Europe for so many years. We estimate that from the second half of this year, there will be a greater outbreak period, profit is a small matter, the key is that we will start the battle of Buddhism in the world because of this publication, and contribute to our motherland, which is also a great thing to use Buddhism to promote the rise and fall of the country and the prosperity of the nation. Many people at the headquarters have lived in Europe for a long time, many of them have not been back to China for decades, they know very little about our country, and there are still many prejudices and psychological shadows at work. However, in the more than 30 years since that standard of truth was discussed, our country is no longer what it used to be, and it is no longer possible to speculate on the lips of others. Hurry back to China, this is my request and plea to all of you. You are all clear-minded people, go back, take a look, think about it, we are also the descendants of Yan and Huang. It is time to serve the country and seek peace for the people. Amitabha, good!

Most of the members of the branch are returning to their home countries for the first time, but after five or six field trips and sightseeing tours, they are no longer the same as they were when they were in Europe. Their confidence in their country is beyond the imagination of you gurus. That kind of pride, that patriotism, that kind of self-confidence, you really can't imagine. It seems that the masters still don't believe it, don't believe it, if you go back and stay for ten days and a half months, you will be just like us, hahahahaha, our motherland has already stood majestically among the world's outstanding nations.

After the report, Master Jiang Qingshan asked the projectionist to play a documentary on his domestic branch of tourism. A group of more than 30 masters looked at the moon and looked at it, and the more eager they were to return to China to experience it for themselves. Master Jiang Qingshan once again recited my Buddha's compassion, and my Buddha's compassion.
