Chapter 77 Tours to Europe

By the deadline for answering questions, the contest had received more than 50,000 answers from participants from all over the country, including Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, and after more than a month of judging papers, 1,090 winners were finally selected. In accordance with the pre-designed rules, an award ceremony was held in May 13 as scheduled, and the winners were presented with certificates, books were presented, and the departure dates of the three tours were announced. On the same day, more than 3,000 copies of four Buddhist magazines were sold around the venue, which was another review of the publications.

For this competition, Shi Jiaxuan and Luo Tianxing took great pains. I read a lot of Buddhist classics and Buddhist dictionaries, and when the final draft was finalized, it was published after detailed research by several masters in the domestic branch.

In order to review the academic performance and attitude of the branch members, Mrs. Fang also asked all the staff to actively answer the questions, and asked everyone to submit the papers and not answer on their behalf.

Shi Jiaxuan told Yulan and Professor Yang about the incident, and they asked their children to participate in answering the questions. This time it was a big deal, the children of the whole family actively participated, looking for information, and their father had already prepared it for the children. Then go home and look it up. This time, I read a lot of books on Buddhism, but I still didn't find all of them, so I continued to look for them. I went to the university library again, searched and searched, and finally found more than 150 questions, but there are still 50 questions that have not found the answers. At this time, Shi Xinping said that it would be okay to call her father and ask if she couldn't. As a result, the phone could not be reached and was turned off. This is a national competition, how can it leak the news.

Tutor Yang Guoying also helped the children to find it, but they still didn't find all of them, and there were still more than a dozen questions left, and they couldn't find the answers. Later, she consulted with a few colleagues who were familiar with Buddhism, but she only answered three or four questions. In the end, I had to guess and answer the paper.

After more than half a month of analysis, among the respondents, there are not only old people who have studied in their sixties, but also middle school students in their teens, and many foreigners. That's a pretty good result. So, Shi Jiaxuan discussed with his cousin Luo Tianxing and announced the results in the next issue of the journal to show fairness and justice, as well as the editor's affirmation and praise for the readers' active participation and active answers, which is a win-win situation. Therefore, the next issue of the journal took the answer sheet as the central topic and wrote an article on the analysis and evaluation of the answer sheet, which also won the love of readers. This is also a responsibility and task of running a publication. One side is enthusiastic to answer the questions that readers are concerned about, and the other side is willing to edit to solve doubts, which is a win-win good thing.

Several masters of the domestic branch appreciated this and affirmed the brothers' good deeds, and the colleagues of the branch also received a universal re-study of Buddhist knowledge, and since then, they have a certain understanding of the Buddhist attainments of this pair of brothers, and no longer underestimate them.
