America. .......

New York Time.

Around eight o'clock in the morning.

After more than a dozen hours of flight,

Lin Chen and his entourage finally arrived at New York International Airport.

After walking out of the exit, Senior Brother Guolin, who had been waiting here for a long time, saw a few conspicuous bald heads in the crowd, and immediately stepped forward to greet him.

Senior Brother Guolin was slightly excited: "Uncle Xuanjiao!"

"Guolin, long time no see. "

Master Xuan Nan looked at this abbot disciple, and he was also full of emotion, the other party is an outstanding existence among the young generation of Shaolin Temple.

It's a pity that I came to build a Shaolin temple here.

Is it really that simple to build a temple from scratch?

However, it is also a Shaolin disciple, and it is also an act to carry forward Shaolin culture and promote Buddhism, so Master Xuan Nan naturally does not say much.

"Yes, Uncle Shi, I haven't seen each other for more than two years. "

Senior Brother Guolin also had a complicated expression, he promised the leaders above to come to New York to build the Shaolin Temple, naturally with an excited heart.

He even thought about making the Shaolin Temple in New York the largest temple in the entire American continent.

But contrary to expectations, the Shaolin Temple in New York not only did not open its popularity, but was also limited to the streets of Flushing, Queens, where most of the people around are Chinese or Asian.

Although there are indeed some white believers in the temple, they are only a minority after all, and they have been developing for almost two years, and there are only five white disciples around them, and they are all lay disciples.

After the two of them exchanged pleasantries, Lin Chen stepped forward and said, "Senior Brother Guolin." "

"A dust?"

Looking at the little monk wearing a mask, Senior Brother Guolin didn't recognize it at first, but then he thought of something and said in surprise: "Yichen, are you out of the mountain?"

"Yes, Senior Brother, the abbot has already allowed me to go down the mountain to practice. "

Lin Chen nodded. It has only been a few months since he went down the mountain, and the fruit forest in the distant rice country naturally does not know, and he has not returned to the Shaolin Temple for more than two years.

"No wonder I have to wear a mask, just now I thought it was the little monk in the temple who caught a cold. "

Senior Brother Guolin laughed.

The two disciples who followed behind Senior Brother Guolin, one of them was also from Songshan Shaolin, and for Yichen, the little junior brother, he also knew the other party's special ability.

But the other one is an apprentice developed by Senior Brother Guolin after coming to North America, so I don't understand why this little monk wears a mask.

After a group of people exchanged pleasantries for a while,

Just when Senior Brother Guolin was about to take the big 21 families back to the Shaolin Temple in New York,

Lin Chen stopped the other party, and then ran to the vicinity of Qingxia and his party who had already gotten into the car on the other side.

Seeing Master Yichen coming, Qingxia hurriedly opened the car door and walked down.

Just now, when Master Yichen and the others met with another group of monks who came to pick up the airport, Qingxia took the lead in taking the people from the tax avoidance team into the car that had been arranged.

Qingxia asked, "Master Yichen, is there something wrong?"

Lin Chen said with one hand: "Emida Fu, Qingxia donor, remember what the poor monk said, that peace charm must be worn on your body at all times!"

Looking at the master's serious appearance, Qingxia nodded vigorously: "Okay Master Yichen, I will definitely wear this peace charm on my body, and I will never take it off!"

"Good and good, then there will be Lao Qingxia as the donor on this trip. "

"Master Yichen is polite, this is what a believer should do. "

Claiming prizes is never simple.

Especially when it comes to claiming the jackpot in a foreign country.

There are two ways to claim the Powerball prize:

The first is to redeem the prize in installments, and the prize will be collected annually over 30 years;

The second way is to withdraw the bonus in a lump sum.

However, the prize money received under both schemes is pre-tax, and a 24% federal withholding tax is paid before the jackpot winner can receive the prize.

In addition to the 24% federal withholding tax,

If you are taking the second way to claim the bonus in one lump sum,

Depending on the local laws of the winner's state, the state will impose a tax ranging from 2.9% to 8.82%.

But fortunately, the place where Gong Ruxin helped buy lottery tickets was in Seattle, and Seattle is in Washington state, and there is no state income tax.

However, because the person who redeemed the prize, Qingxia, is a foreigner, and may also involve other tax issues, it is much more troublesome to redeem the prize in the past than in Xiangjiang.

In addition to tax issues, it is also necessary to consider how to donate this money to the Yichen Charitable Foundation, so as to better avoid taxes reasonably and not be affected.

It is estimated that it is difficult to do it without ten days and half a month's effort.

After all, it involved a grand prize of 230 million US dollars, although it is not as good as the jackpot of billions of dollars or tens of billions of dollars later, but in this era, it is already a lot of money.

So this time I came to the United States and was divided into two groups, Qingxia took the tax avoidance team to prepare for the prize.

Lin Chen, on the other hand, followed Uncle Xuan Nan and went to live in the Shaolin Temple in New York for a period of time.

After Qingxia successfully withdrew the bonus, Lin Chen would attend the donation conference held by the other party.

The reason why it is so troublesome and what kind of donation conference is to hold is mainly because the United States does not allow anonymous prize redemption.

Qingxia redeemed the prize in the past, and it will inevitably be known by the media.

A foreigner who won such a big prize,

The media in the United States must be eager to strip off the other party's identity.

Qingxia is a well-known actress in Southeast Asia, and I believe that it won't take much time for reporters from the United States to find out Qingxia's true identity.

When the news reaches Hong Kong Island, it is estimated that it will be a sensation.

Secondly, the security of the United States is much worse than that of Xiangjiang.

Qingxia is an outsider, and after winning the jackpot, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not be targeted by local criminals.

Therefore, Lin Chen also gave her the peace charm worth 1 million joy points that he had drawn not long ago.

In order to let Qingxia be safe.

Produced by the system, it must be a high-quality product, and this peace charm needs 1 million joy points, as you can imagine, the effect must be outstanding.

"Uncle Xuannan, the female layman over there, is it the female star Qingxia in Xiangjiang?"

Guo Lin looked at the woman who was chatting with Lin Chen, and always felt very familiar, and thought about it carefully, and was surprised to remember that this was not a female star on Hong Kong Island?

"Yes, this time Qingxia monk came with us. "

Xuan Nan glanced at the fruit forest next to him, and did not tell Lin Chen that he was going to redeem the prize this time.

And this matter is already known to Xuan Yan, Lin Chen arranged for Qingxia to redeem the prize, so in the end, even if the outside world knows, he will not think that the real winner of this award is Lin Chen.

..............................................................................

..............................................................................

After separation.

The van arranged by Senior Brother Guolin carried Lin Chen, Xuan Yan, Yongxin and others to Queens.

The country of rice in the nineties,

The reason why it is considered a paradise on earth by the whole world attracts elites from all over the world who want to come here desperately.

There are two factors.

First of all, the first one,

That is, two years ago, the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, which made the whole world understand,

In this half-century-long struggle for hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union,

In the end, it was the United States that won the final victory.

The birth of various cultural hegemony also began at this time.

With the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, the trend of world civilization has become a lone show in the United States, and whatever he says is what he says, and all kinds of remarks are regarded as classics.

The power of capital has been expanded like never before at this moment.

People no longer talk about ideals, no longer talk about dedication, and open their mouths to shut up about money.

I believe that the Chinese people have a deep understanding.

The second and most important point is that the current material civilization of the United States,

is second to none in the world, with high wages and low prices,

Coupled with the so-called dream of the United States, countless aspiring young people from all over the world have come to this country desperately.

But only when you really come to this place can you realize that things are far from being as simple as you think.

New York is both heaven and hell.

This is the paradise of the capitalists, who unleash this battlefield, unleash that financial attack.

So, when you look at the high-rise buildings on both sides of the road, the bustling shops on the street,

Uncle Xuan Nan is okay,

He is not very interested in these high-rise buildings and bustling traffic.

But Senior Brother Yongxin is different, his eyes are about to straighten.

Brother Yongxin, who has never been to the rice country, really feels the prosperity of the rice country, which is much more prosperous than Xiangjiang.

"The country is really prosperous~"

Senior Brother Yongxin couldn't help but sigh.

Lin Chen, who was sitting behind him, also nodded noncommittally when he heard this.

In the 90s, the United States was a world superpower in the true sense of the word.

It was not until after the millennium, with the vacancy of the Oriental Dragon, that the internal economic problems and external contradictions of the United States made the country more and more miserable.

Seeing that this beautiful flower is about to go from peak to decay in the future,

Lin Chen felt pity, and after the brilliant bloom, he experienced the ultimate decay,

It's better to let the poor monk cut off this beautiful flower when it is in full bloom.

In this way, the people of the United States do not have to experience a roller coaster, which is too exciting to the heart.

It's not good for the body, it's not good...

An hour later.

The van finally arrived on Flushing Street in Queens.

How to say it, this place is very similar to a Chinatown, many of the shop signs around are written in both Chinese and English, and there are almost six or seven out of ten people walking on the street who are Asian.

It is no wonder that Brother Guolin wanted to set up the Shaolin Temple in New York here, surrounded by Chinese or Asian, and they have a certain understanding of Buddhism.

Here you can also develop believers better.

"Uncle Shi, we're here!"

The car stopped, and Brother Guolin opened the door.

Master Xuan Nan walked down one step ahead, and when he saw that above the bungalow in front of him, there was a plaque of "Shaolin Temple" hanging and a string of English translations below.

The whole person looks bad.

In front of it, there is a boxy bungalow, and the gate has been rebuilt with an eaves similar to a traditional building, which is also called a temple?

Behind him, Lin Chen, as well as Senior Brother Yongxin and others also followed.

"This ......"

Senior Brother Yongxin looked embarrassed, he was in the car just now, but he praised Senior Brother Guolin.

Unexpectedly, this Shaolin Temple New York Branch is too shabby, right?

Lin Chen also had a strange face, no wonder why he had never heard of the Shaolin Temple in New York in the future, it turned out that his life was so miserable. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"I'm sorry uncle, I let you see the joke, I ......"

Senior Brother Guolin looked embarrassed, he has been in New York for two years to develop, and now he doesn't even have a decent office space, not to mention building a temple.

"It's okay Guolin, it's normal for the people of the country to not understand the culture of my Buddha, which is why you came to the country to set up the Shaolin Temple, and the abbot agreed. "

Xuan Nan patted him on the shoulder and said with relief: "The example of the Canadian Zhanshan Monastery is right in front of you, Guolin, don't be discouraged, you must know that where there is a will, there is a way, and it is still necessary to spread my Buddhist beliefs." "

"Thank you Uncle for your advice. "

Guo Lin had tears in his eyes, he was ambitious to come over, but after two years, it was really embarrassing to develop like this.

............

............

The three major religions of the world.

Christ, Green, Buddhism.

Among them, the most influential is naturally Christ, and the craziest is Green,

And Buddhism is not as influential as Christ, and fanaticism is not as green as green.

But in Lin Chen's view, it is the most suitable for the beliefs of the people of the United States.

Usually in the eyes of the public, the people of the United States like bars, rock, NBA and all kinds of hip-hop fun, even the movies are mostly like this,

But in fact, there is a very important aspect of the people of the United States, that is, "quiet"!

Not to mention the silent believers in the church on Sundays, even in public places such as airports and carriages, you can see the Mi people who are silently listening and thinking at any time.

In this time, there are still many people who love learning so much.

But after the turn of the millennium, this silence has been lost,

On the one hand, because of the pressure at work,

On the one hand, it is because of the fast-paced life that inevitably comes out of the process of economic development 470. []

After World War I to the present, nearly a hundred years of efficient development have begun to appear weak.

It's like a vigorous young man whose physical fitness begins to slowly go downhill.

Buddhism happens to be the most suitable for "old people" to study and study.

and put down the butcher's knife to become a Buddha on the ground, which can also make the people of the rice country who are in the paradise of crime feel spiritual comfort,

As long as I put down the murderous gun, then I can get spiritual sublimation.

Even if I pick up the robbery gun again, but after I rob the money, I put the gun down, then I am not guilty......

Of course, all this is a superficial factor,

What really made Lin Chen feel that Buddhism was suitable for spreading in the United States,

Or is it because of the group of Jews who control most of the resources of the country.

The Buddha said that life is the four noble truths of suffering, concentration, extinction, and path.

To put it simply, the experience of life is a hard practice, and it is a kind of suffering from birth, and everything in the world is suffering!

And to the Jews, this theory is simply too much for their appetite.

Not to mention the historical wandering, the Holocaust during World War II made it easier for Jews to resonate with the four noble truths of suffering, concentration, extinction, and the path of Buddhism.

Coupled with the fact that Buddhism also emphasizes different cultural values, you can still learn the teachings and wisdom of Buddhism even if you maintain your original Jewish beliefs.

Lin Chen traveled from later generations, and naturally knew how deeply the Jews controlled the United States.

So from the exchange between Uncle Xuan Nan and Senior Brother Guolin,

I learned that the Shaolin Temple in New York, which was established by Senior Brother Guolin, has been almost two years so far.

There are only eight officially ordained believers, and most of the developing believers are Chinese and Asian-American living in the surrounding area.

Lin Chen knew why, decades later, the Shaolin Temple in New York was almost unknown in China, and no one paid attention to it.

You must know that Shaolin Temple is a name with its own traffic attributes, and Shaolin Temple in New York was created by the disciples of the abbot of Shaolin Temple.

Even if it's not famous, at least it's a little bit of movement on the Internet.

But in fact, Lin Chen traveled from decades later, not only did he not hear of it in his previous life, but he also learned about it not long ago in this life.

What does this mean?

It shows that Senior Brother Guolin really does not have the ability to develop and develop, if Senior Brother Yongxin is replaced,

I dare not say how good the development is, at least it will not be worse than two or three kittens now.

Sure enough, Senior Brother Guolin only knew how to practice at the beginning, and completely forgot how Buddhism flourished in China.

I don't understand the truth of the upward and downward effects!

Only by making those rulers believe, then it is good to spread and promote it below, and you alone can spread how many people in the United States?

Jews are naturally suitable for learning Buddhist culture, and when they become believers, Brother Guolin didn't expect it at all.

It seems that the future development of the Shaolin Temple in New York in the United States will not be too high.

But fortunately, with him Lin Chen, this time he came over, no matter what, he had to develop a few big people to become believers.
