Merit is good to have, but great merit is not easy.
Zheng Fa's goal is very clear—leech some merit!
It's a joke, others might not know, but he does know that there are only a few moments of great merit that can make one a saint, which is something he cannot even imagine right now.
The Creation Taoist thinks that accomplishing the deed of great merit would allow him to sit on the cushion—pure nonsense.
In Zheng Fa's view, the only feasible approach is to try great merit, great perseverance, and great enlightenment.
Simply put, if it takes a hundred points to sit on that cushion, Zheng Fa thinks the most rational approach is to score thirty to forty points on merit, then another thirty to forty points on the other two aspects, adding up to a hundred points. Or he could scrape together thirty to forty points on the first merit and then seek more moments of great merit.
