Gotham's Buddhist Monk Conquers with the Law

A stunning debut on 2026.07.14

Please, I really do think this is sacred.

I never knew why I had come into this world.

Not until I encountered something that made heaven and earth cry out in outrage.

This is a world of sin! The Buddha sent me here to deliver all living beings!

I have decided to enter the mortal world myself.

I will offer the Penguin respect, and Poison Ivy understanding and justice.

I will speak kind words to Two-Face and the Riddler, using logic to counter logic and truth to solve riddles.

I will help Bane deal with his Venom problem, and help Mr. Freeze save the woman he loves.

If someone can be saved, I will save them. If someone can be redeemed, I will redeem them.

I will inspire them to seek enlightenment, take refuge in the Three Jewels, and weep as they atone for their sins.

After all, I am best at making people submit to the Dharma!

By the way, the Dharma is my demon-subduing vajra pestle.

I also have a whisk called Virtue.

In short, the villains were all deeply moved and decided to take refuge in the Buddha.

But those who cannot be redeemed...

When faced with great evil capable of destroying an entire city, doing nothing would violate the vows of the Bodhisattva path!!!

This is not breaking the precept against killing. It is a great merit!

Open, Wrathful Vajra Gaze!

In front of the entire city, my eyes reddened as I grabbed the green-haired man by the waist.

"I cannot redeem you because my abilities are lacking. But I swear, out of compassion for every living being in Gotham, that I will put an end to your evil deeds. With my own hands, I will end this wickedness, and I am willing to bear the torments of hell!"

All right, all right. Why is everyone crying so hard? Stop crying. I'm still alive, aren't I?

And what's with that codename? I've told you so many times: my codename isn't Gotham's Buddha's Child. It's Single-Mindedly Delivering the Dustbound, Slaying Without Precepts! Stop picking on this stoic nun just because she doesn't speak well!!!

*It's obvious the author's mental state is great. Great because they're very spirited.

*Fight! Fight!

*The world the heroine comes from is not the real world, and its Buddhism is not real-world Buddhism. Please don't conflate them.

*Both the author and the heroine absolutely respect Buddhism!

*The heroine is female, but gender is meaningless here. She's the kind of beauty so extreme that she's androgynous. In short, she's a Buddha's Child.

(Please, I really want to use this trope, but I also want to write a heroine.)

*The heroine has no hair >𐋣<

*(Her hair might suddenly grow back at some point.)

*The heroine is devoted to the Buddha and won't fall in love, though there may be one-sided feelings.

Theme: The sea of suffering has no shore, but turning back is the way to salvation.
