Because WeChat R&D was in trouble at the time, he was struggling to solve several technical problems. In a fit of rage, he tore the documents into pieces. Unexpectedly, the monk in charge of cleaning saw it and helped him paste the documents back together and wrote down a few suggestions. Zhang Xiaolong was shocked and went to the monk to interrogate him. Only then did he know that the monk who was sweeping the floor had been in the IT industry before he became a monk and was a geek. After being enlightened by the monk, Zhang Xiaolong returned to Guangzhou and retreated for a year, and WeChat finally became a big success. This story was spread so well that Beijing Longquan Temple became a treasure land that engineers yearned for but could not get. Beijing Longquan Temple Unexpectedly, after two years, they played bigger and bigger. Last October, they developed a 60-centimeter robot that can understand simple instructions and talk to people in a cute way, which is quite similar to the Siri of Buddhism. This robot is Xian'er. Xian'er has a catchphrase: "I will ask my master." The screen on Xian'er's chest indicates the range of questions he can answer. If you tease Xian Er: What are you going to eat today? Xian Er immediately teases back: Robots don’t need to eat, is there any need to ask? Q: Will the stock market rise today? Xian Er: How can I answer this question? Q: What should I do if there is a traffic jam? Xian Er: I can just chant the Buddha’s nameQ: What should I do if I feel sleepy while chanting the Buddha’s name? Xian Er: Is it considered sleepy if the battery is out? Q: What should I do if my mother is always nagging? Xian Er: She is an old woman, just let her be. Q: What should I do if my wife has a bad temper? Xian Er: I have no choice but to live with her. I can’t persuade you to divorce. Q: What should I do if I can’t live anymore? Xian Er: Don’t think that you are the only one who is the most miserable in the world. The answer is simply a life philosophy, you can’t help but accept it. Do you think it’s over? NO! It is said that Longquan Temple is the most powerful mysterious organization in Beijing with the strongest R&D capabilities, and is known as the "temple with the strongest scientific research capabilities." The monks in this temple are not simple. Master Chanxing: PhD in fluid mechanics from Tsinghua University; Master Xianwei: PhD from the Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences; Master Xianqing: Postgraduate student in the Department of Philosophy, Peking University... (These days, if you don't have a high degree, how can you say you want to convert to Buddhism?) Let's take a look at the high configuration of other temples Longquan Temple has a special IT group and animation group. Let's take a look at the IT group. The founder of this information technology group is called Master Xianxin. Graduated from the Computer Department of Beijing University of Technology, proficient in Linux and Mongodb, led a group of IT volunteers, built a professional information platform, wrote code by himself, and used digital technology to manage the daily life of the temple and all matters such as contact with the outside world.
Venerable Xianxin is very focused when he walks and talks. He said, "I majored in computer science at Beijing University of Technology and worked as a programmer for a few years after graduation. Later, I didn't like this major very much because it changed too fast and my heart couldn't stand it. " In early 2009, he officially became a monk and took the Buddhist name Xianxin. He noticed that Longquan Temple had more than 700 guest rooms, and it was a hassle to register volunteers to check in, not to mention the management of the beds. So he spent about seven months developing a check-in system. The access control system at Longquan Temple uses fingerprint recognition. There are many highly educated monks in Longquan Temple in Beijing. I will not mention them one by one, as many of you may not be able to bear it. I will just let you feel what it feels like to want to be a monk but not be able to! To become a monk at Longquan Temple, generally speaking, you have to work as a volunteer for a few months to a few years. Everyone will be assigned to different positions based on what they are good at. The monks will observe their moral character and character. Only those who meet the requirements can become quasi-purified people. Then after a period of training, qualified people become pure people. After another period of training, qualified people will be ordained as novice monks; when the conditions are right, novice monks will receive full precepts and become bhikkhus. Only then can he be considered to have truly left the home. It is really much more difficult than the college entrance examination. In addition to more than one hundred monks, there are nearly three hundred volunteers living in the temple. Among them are master's and doctoral students who graduated from Peking University, Tsinghua University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, as well as "mathematical geniuses" who have won Olympic gold medals. The Longquan Temple IT Group holds the "Longquan Temple IT Meditation Camp" every year, which is always full, and most of the applicants are well-known IT professionals and entrepreneurs.
