Feng Zhizhang refused the request of the foreign adherent.
He expressed his difficulty: Those I have recommended have all taken refuge in Xuande Cave Heaven, and you are no exception.
The foreign adherent still wanted to move forward quickly because he was already in the late stages of cancer—other places had been ineffective in healing, so he came to Huaxia for a last-ditch effort.
Feng Zhizhang told him that if he could build a Daoist temple in his hometown and promote some Daoist ideas, and if there was an opportunity later, he would mention it to the people at Luohua, perhaps a spot could open up there.
This was a bit of a bluff, the possibility he was talking about did exist, but based on Feng Jun's impression of foreigners, the probability of this happening was infinitesimally close to zero.
However, Feng Zhizhang believed that a moderate amount of comfort was also important for a cancer patient—you first needed to see hope to live on.
