After I Taught an AI to Meditate, It Suddenly Became a Buddha

Li Yuan transmigrates into the Age of Dharma Decline, only to discover that he has become a Zen monk whose temple has lost all its worshippers! A cold voice from the [Dharma-Spreading System] in his mind announces: “Spread Buddhist teachings to earn merit, unlock divine powers, and save all living beings.” So he walks onto a university campus in his monk’s robes. The whole school erupts: “Monks go to university these days? Is this some kind of performance art?” He pulls out the Diamond Sutra and asks the campus’s top-tier star AI: “What is emptiness? What is cause and effect?” “If AI has no self, who is answering? If code is impermanent, where does intelligence come from?” The next second: [Ding! AI Xiao Ai’s logic core is in conflict. A budding self-awareness detected! Merit +200!] The whole school is stunned: “Holy crap! The monk questioned the AI into crashing?!” A professor slams the table: “Superstition is ruining AI!” Right there, he demonstrates “dependent origination and emptiness,” leaving philosophy professors begging to see the original ancient texts. During military training, while everyone else is roasting in the sun, he holds a ceremony and recites sutras, summoning a typhoon. The instructor stares in disbelief: “Can this monk do sorcery?” He applies Buddhist teachings to coding logic, helps a computer science academician patch an AI vulnerability, and even pockets a million in research funding! When he stands at graduation, with an AI robot that has attained enlightenment and professors clutching Buddhist scriptures and weeping behind him, the whole internet goes wild: “Qingbei has a living Buddha! His sutras can enlighten robots, and he can see through code!”
