New Dynasty Elegance's mouth twitched, "Pretty much."
"So according to you, the appearance of this idol is their image of the Great Sun Tathagata and 'golden body'?"
"Pretty much."
Enlightened, Brother Ni fell into even deeper confusion.
"What's wrong? If that's the case, why don't these monks install prosthetic bodies for themselves to also get a 'diamond body'?"
"It's lama."
New Dynasty Elegance emphasized, he's a notorious abbot known for being petty, so he couldn't show any goodwill to these heretics.
"Because they believe installing prosthetic bodies is wrong, a lesser path, heresy. Once you get a prosthetic body, not only won't you approach a diamond body, but your body, speech, and mind's karmic burdens will worsen, suffering harsher karmic retribution: body karma—phantom pain, speech karma—loss of five senses, mind karma—cyber psychosis and personality disorder. Once you have a prosthetic body, you'll never attain a true diamond body."
"That's strange."
