Chapter 47: Three Lifetimes, Incomprehensible

"Buddha Ancestor, why have you stopped speaking?" Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, seeing Tathagata suddenly pause and remain silent for a long time, couldn't help but ask.

Tathagata's brow slightly furrowed, and his fingers pinched lightly as he said, "It seems like something has occurred, but I am unable to grasp it."

Manjushri Bodhisattva, however, said, "Is there anything within or beyond the Three Realms that can be concealed from the Buddha Ancestor?"

Tathagata closed his eyes and replied, "Perhaps it's just a whim of mine, an overthinking."
