The abbot looked very calm and spoke calmly, “We do not welcome filming crew in the future.”
Director Jiang said, “It’s fine if you don’t welcome us, but why didn’t you say so earlier? Why was there a need to beat people up?”
“I was meditating. I did not know anything that was happening outside. If I knew, I wouldn’t have allowed them to do so.” The abbot placed his palms together and said, “Amitabha, my few disciples have been taught a lesson by you, so Almsgiver, please leave. I won’t see you out.”
He was pushing the responsibility?
He was using the fact that he was unaware as an answer?
And he was not seeing them out? He was so impolite?
They had previously thought they had met a reasonable person, but who knew he was also a recalcitrant monk!
Zhang Ye walked up. This movement of his caused a few of the young monks to step back in horror.
