Cardcaptor at Hogwarts

When I studied at the Oxford School of Economics and Management, I knew very well that capitalists have a straight face. Even if something is implemented in a contract, they can confuse right and wrong, let alone a verbal promise.

As for the contractual spirit of foreigners advocated in the so-called progressive magazines, Fang Zheng knew that it was just that the profits from breach of contract were not large enough, or that abiding by the contract was the choice to maximize interests.

But considering that Adam's business in the UK was so big, and he had never heard of such a situation happening, and that he really couldn't do anything about something that didn't happen, Fang Zheng could only keep it in mind.

In the future, after Adam reaches cooperation with the office, it is best to appoint some people to keep an eye on the trends of his industry...

"Mr. Fangzheng, there is no need to leave in a hurry. Although I prefer the office as the main partner for cooperation, I believe that the office cannot cover everything in China."

With a clear conscience and the previous goodwill bonus, Adam believed that there would be no problems in business cooperation with the office, but he did not intend to let go of this partner who took the initiative to find him.

The international students at Oxford University in this era should be more or less top-notch in terms of ability, not to mention their moral character.

It's a pity that the resources held by the other party do not meet Adam's requirements, and Adam plans to do more than just business in the wizarding world in the future.

For example, when packing potions, I accidentally mistook some design drawings for shock-absorbing newspapers, or mixed a photolithography machine into the pile of candies... With such a big business, occasional mistakes are inevitable. .

Fang Zheng and his company obviously cannot handle emergencies like this. The office must take over and deal with these accidents properly.

For Adam, he didn't want to let go of the talent that came to his door. For Fang Zheng, it was an unexpected surprise. Because the tone of cooperation had been set, the two of them quickly agreed on a framework. The rest had to wait for Adam and the people in the office. Bian finished talking first.

After the chat, Adam had a preliminary understanding of Fang Zheng. How should I put it...it was almost impossible to tell that he was a Buddhist disciple.

Feeling that he and Fang Zheng had developed some friendship, Adam asked a question that he didn't know was considered presumptuous:

"How does Mr. Fang Zheng balance the study of economics and management with Buddhist practice?"

Fangzheng was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that Adam was asking him why he studied economics and management after entering Buddhism, or that he studied economics and management but then entered Buddhism.

"About this issue... I would like to ask Mr. Adam a question first. What do you think is 'Buddha'?"

Speaking of this, Fang Zheng was particularly energetic. He had always wanted to share his theory, but unfortunately his master wouldn't let him take the initiative to talk to others, and others would inevitably find the question too offensive and not ask... but it stifled him. Got it!

"Buddha...the enlightened one? The one who understands the first meaning and emptiness?"

Adam's words made Fangzheng speechless for the first time, but he actually said that the first meaning was meaningless. Is Adam really a British wizard and not a British scholar who studies Chinese culture?

After adjusting his mentality, Fang Zheng said:

"Well... Mr. Adam's research on Buddhism really shocked me. Maybe we can talk more about it some time, but what I want to say is that for people nowadays, Buddha has actually become an idol."

"Oh? Idol?"

When it came time for Fang Zheng to explain his ideas, Adam would naturally not interrupt him. He only needed to be a compliment and listener, chiming in with a few words.

"Yes, although the Lord Buddha was against Hindu idolatry when he established Buddhism, unfortunately as time goes by, today's Buddhism has also followed the old path of Hinduism in this regard."

Fang Zheng naturally followed Adam's agreement and continued:

"The Three Jewels of Buddhism, the Buddha has now become an idol used to attract people to become monks and learn the Dharma."

"Come and learn Buddhism! In the next life, you can enter the Pure Land, where there is countless gold and silver, all kinds of joy, and you can avoid suffering and disease."

"There are all kinds of worldly constraints that prevent you from entering Buddhism? It doesn't matter. Recite my Buddha's name and worship it sincerely. Even if you cannot enter the Pure Land, you will be able to live a better life in the next life..."

"The afterlife, the pure land, blessings, and all kinds of beauty constitute the Buddha in today's world, attracting countless people."

After hearing these words, Adam looked at Fang Zheng with something wrong.

No... Do you still remember that you had a Dharma name named Kong?

These words are really not what a Buddhist disciple should say, let alone a disciple of the Pure Land Sect.

You must know that the main focus of the Pure Land Sect is to be reborn in the Pure Land by riding on the power of Buddha's vows. The main way of practice is to recite the name of Buddha. This is especially tempting for believers with low cultural level or limited conditions.

The kind of person who holds a string of Buddhist beads and keeps chanting "Amitabha" in his mouth is the method of Pure Land Sect. He keeps chanting it in order to be reborn in the Pure Land.

After finishing speaking, Fang Zheng sighed:

"But times have changed now. Although things like the afterlife and the Pure Land are still effective now, they won't be effective for a few years. People today value money more than nihilistic things like the afterlife."

"So, is this why you went to study economics and management? To prevent the idol of Buddhism from falling due to scientific development and people not believing in the afterlife of the Pure Land?"

Adam couldn't stand it anymore.

"yes……"

After nodding in response, Fang Zheng looked at Adam and asked:

"Mr. Adam, do you think the existence of such an idol is a bad thing?"

"..."

Adam wanted to say yes, and Fang Zheng himself had given a bunch of examples, but seeing that there was a clear turn in his attitude, he asked back:

"Since Mr. Fang Zheng is still in Buddhism, he obviously thinks this is not a bad thing."

"No offspring, no production, evasion of taxes, fooling people for money... These are all proposed by people who oppose Buddhism in history. All of these are caused by human desires, and Buddhism is just a layer of skin."

Fang Zheng said calmly:

"I don't deny that the Buddhist teachings themselves are "useful" enough in this regard, and Buddhism has been widely spread to this day precisely because of this "usefulness". But in the future, in today's China, after the people are enlightened, similar things will not be eliminated, but they will become less and less."

Hearing Fang Zheng's big truth, Adam couldn't help but He said:

"You are very honest."

"Monks do not tell lies. False principles cannot help you cross the sea of ​​suffering and reach the other shore."

Fang Zheng clasped his hands and said:

"As a philosophical view, Buddhism itself is excellent enough. With these crimes being increasingly strictly monitored, is it a bad thing to have this idol of Buddhism?"

"No matter why he came to learn Buddhism, those who really have a predestined relationship with Buddhism will naturally become enlightened in the process of contacting Buddhism. Even if there is no predestined relationship, and he only learns Buddhism for the benefit, he will be influenced by it. When he has evil thoughts one day, even if he hesitates for a moment, it is also compassion."

After listening to Fang Zheng's philosophy, Adam thought for a moment:

"You should rarely say this to others, right?"

"Amitabha, Master doesn't let me take the initiative to tell others, so I can only wait for others to ask."

Fang Zheng sighed.
