Chapter 143: Staying in a Buddhist Temple
readx;
Although Jinling Bao'en Temple is not the Great Yin National Temple, but it has a very special status in the Great Yin, and even the status of the Buddha alone, the Bao'en Temple also overwhelms the National Temple and the Great Buddha Temple, because it is the first ancient temple in the world, and this world is not limited to the land of the Great Yin. The specific time of the appearance of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info Bao'en Temple is unknown, in short, before the founding of the Great Yin, it has been standing there as the first ancient temple in the world, only because the monks of the Great Buddha Temple have made great contributions to the country in the Great Yin, so that the Great Buddha Temple has crossed the Bao'en Temple to become a national temple.
Different from the temple of the Big Buddha Temple, Bao'en Temple is in the western suburbs of Jinling, and the temple Buddha Hall and the like cover an area of nearly 100 acres, and most of the places in the western suburbs around the temple belong to Bao'en Temple. Around the Bao'en Temple, there are also nearly a dozen or so villages of all sizes, these villages are only a few small households, and there are dozens of hundreds of people, and these people are basically tenant farmers of Bao'en Temple.
This Bao'en Temple deserves to be the first ancient temple in the world, every time I come to feel that it is particularly Zen, and other temples are very different, obviously in the downtown but there is a quiet and distant meaning. โ
Originally, after the attack on the road to the Big Buddha Temple, Xiao didn't fall in love with the temple very much, who knew that Shen Junqian's life was full of disasters, and he had nightmares after being frightened in the palace, even if Shen Junqian followed his family to Jinling, it was not good. Xiao Shi heard the name of Jinling Bao'en Temple for a while, and brought Shen Junqian to a few times, I don't know whether Bao'en Temple is really deep Buddhism or what, in short, Shen Junqian's nightmare is slowly disappearing since it is true, since then Xiao is highly respected for Bao'en Temple, and even the original dislike for the Buddhist Temple has disappeared, and now I like to come to Bao'en Temple from time to time.
At this time, walking side by side with Xiao Shi was the wife of Song Tongju in Jinling, Mrs. Song was taller than ordinary women, and her appearance was not outstanding, only in a fair-skinned body, to three points more beautiful.
Mrs. Song is actually a few years older than Xiao, but Xiao's husband is her husband's superior, in terms of identity, Xiao is more valuable than her, fortunately, this Mrs. Song is also a wonderful person, and Xiao gets along with neither age nor status, and the attitude is natural and friendly.
Just after the incense worship of the Buddha is finished, now Xiao and Mrs. Song took their daughter and their subordinates to wander around the temple, listening to Xiao's words, Mrs. Song's smile deepened a little, "I think it is Li Niang, you and Bao'en Temple are more fateful, in order to have this opinion, I have been in Jinling for almost ten years, this Bao'en Temple has come and gone I don't know how many times, in addition to feeling that this Bao'en Temple is more prosperous than other places, and there are more people in and out, but there has never been such a view of Li Niang." โ
Li Niang is Xiao's name, which can be called Mrs. Song so affectionately, which shows that the relationship between the two is really good
"Mother is very right, I also think that Mrs. Shen and this Bao'en Temple are very fateful, if you follow Mrs. Shen, you can feel that this temple is different, it must be stained with Mrs. Shen's light!"
This round-faced girl is the youngest daughter of the Song family, one year older than Shen Junqian, there are four brothers and sisters in her family, an elder brother and a younger brother, and a married sister. She is the only one of the brothers and sisters in the Song family who is a concubine, because Mrs. Song's daughter is married, she was brought to Mrs. Song's side, I don't know if it's because of this, Shen Junqian always feels that she always has a kind of flattery in her words and actions, flattering to Mrs. Song, and even more flattering to the Xiao family and her, and I don't know how a person like Mrs. Song can tolerate such a daughter to be raised by her side?
Shen Junqian dragged his feet at the end, and couldn't help wailing in his heart: This second girl Song is really, here she is again, life is more than flattery!
Zhan Yi looked at his girl on the side with a well-behaved but really mental look that didn't know Fei Na, and secretly smiled, but when he saw the eyes that glanced over again, he couldn't help but remind Shen Junqian: "Girl, let's go, Madame has seen it twice, and if you don't follow up, I'm afraid that the sisters around Madame will come over." โ
Shen Junqian looked forward when she heard this, but she didn't expect to meet the glance that Xiao Shi glanced at casually, so frightened that she immediately shrank her neck, pretending to be calm and pretending to look at the scenery on both sides before she found that she was far away from Xiao Shi and the others, so she walked in the direction of Xiao Shi and the others with her clothes.
Walking to the front, Shen Junqian found that Xiao and Mrs. Song were standing in front of two small novices, one tall and one short, looking at the tall face was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the short one was about โกโก years old, it seemed that Xiao Shi and others asked something, and now the young novice was answering, vaguely hearing words such as "relics", "opening the altar to preach" and "high monks".
There is no need for Shen Junqian to say that the clothes are already muttering to Yaohuang beside Xiao's side, the four big girls around Xiao's side generally only take two every time they go out, and this time they go out with Yaohuang, who is known as the ear of the gods, and the youngest of the four big girls, Dai Green.
"It is Master Pudao who returned to Beijing from the Buddha Treasure Relic in Western Yunnan and passed through Bao'en Temple, and now he is temporarily living here. โ
Hearing the cold tone of the clothes sounding softly in his ears, Shen Junqian tilted his head and glanced at each other in tacit understanding, and a faint smile rose at the corner of his mouth, "Since it is the great monk Pudao that we all know throughout the country to pass here, presumably the abbot of Bao'en Temple will try his best to keep it." โ
Zhan Yi replied with a smile: "No, not to mention that Master Pudao still carries the Buddha treasure relics." โ
"The reason why Bao'en Temple is respected as the first temple in the world, in addition to the age, more importantly, it is known as the seven treasures glazed pagoda that contains the relics of the Buddha in the past dynasties, and now the Pudao welcomes back to the senior monk relics who preached in western Yunnan passing by the Bao'en Temple, if the abbot of the Bao'en Temple does not know it's good, since he knows, how can it be ......"
I don't know what came to mind, Shen Junqian's words in the second half of the paragraph became quieter and quieter, and in the end, there was only a smile on his face.
"It's just that we are like this, we don't know ...... Master Pudao" Before the hesitation in his heart could be spoken, a loud voice โกโก obliquely.
"Sister Coriander is hiding here and muttering something to her maid, I didn't hear you just asked. Before the words landed, Shen Junqian found that his right hand had been affectionately held.
On the smiling face of the second girl of the Song Dynasty, Shen Junqian, who had learned the etiquette for many years, finally played a role, and instantly changed his face with a light smile, and at the same time did not move, took out his hand that was being held, and quickly swept around, and found that Xiao Shi and the others were all looking here, and it seemed that they had indeed missed something just now.
Being stared at by a group of people, but he missed other people's questions, how can it be a little rude, this does not fit Shen Junqian's ladylike image, her face was silent, and the whole brain cell was mobilized to think about how to resolve the current situation
Fortunately, Xiao's fist and daughter-loving heart couldn't see Shen Junqian's rudeness, so he smiled and relieved the siege, "You girl is naughty again, how can you be so rude in front of your Aunt Song and Second Miss Song." I just heard from the two novices of Bao'en Temple that Master Pudao welcomed the Buddha's treasure through Jinling and was invited by the abbot of Bao'en Temple to temporarily store the Buddha's treasure in the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda for believers to pray for blessings for seven days. It's rare to meet this grand event of Buddhism, and even more so to meet Master Pudao to open the altar to give lectures, Miss Song suggested that we should stay in Bao'en Temple for a few days, not only to see the Buddha treasure relics, but also to listen to Master Pudao explain the Buddhist scriptures, what does Miss Song think?"
If it weren't for being in front of people, Shen Junqian would have to pounce directly on his thighs and hug his thighs, this is definitely his mother-
Since her mother is so powerful, Shen Junqian naturally can't drop the chain at a critical time, "Sister Song's proposal is naturally good, but this time Qian'er is to accompany her mother and Aunt Song to worship the Buddha, of course, she listens to the elders, anyway, Qian'er has nothing to do with it, and she is also an idler at home, but Aunt Song and her mother-in-law are not as idle as Qian'er, so I don't know if there is any free time?"
"Yo yo yo, you still say that you listen to the elders, you listen to her, it's a good thing," Mrs. Song poked Shen Junqian lovingly, and asked angrily: "What do you mean that I and your mother are not as idle, are you praising me and your mother, or are we incompetent, but there is no time for a few days, and we can't leave, is it possible that everyone in the family eats white rice?"
Shen Junqian smiled and said forgiveness, everyone laughed a few more words, and finally Xiao and Mrs. Song decided to stay in Bao'en Temple for a few days, and then sent someone to send a letter back to the Shen family and the Song family while informing the Zhike monk of Bao'en Temple.
Xiao and his entourage, as the family members of Jinling Zhizhou and Tongju, if they come to Bao'en Temple to live in a small house, they have always had their own fixed courtyards, and the courtyards of the two families happen to be next to each other, only separated by a wall, since they decided to live here for a few days, they are not in a hurry to walk around today, but they have to settle down first, so they only chatted a few words, and then followed the Zhike monk who received the notice to settle down first.
Come to Jinling for six years, it is not the first time to live in Bao'en Temple, in the fixed courtyard of the Shen family, Shen Junqian always loves the room on the east side, mainly from the window of this room to look out, you can see the most beautiful scenery of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower.
Perhaps because of the famous name of the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda in Bao'en Temple, the courtyard arranged in the temple for guests to stay temporarily is surrounded by the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda, and the tower can be seen in almost every courtyard, the difference is only the difference between the actual distance and the specific scenery.
The maid who had arranged the affairs of Shen Junqian's room walked up to Shen Junqian, who was standing in front of the window, and replied softly: "Girl, everything has been arranged, don't you see any instructions?"
"Well, I don't have anything to worry about what you arranged, you don't have to follow it personally, since you arrange it, just leave those things to the little girls below. โ
"How can they know your habits, girl, but they are afraid that wasting is a thing. Dipping clothes smiled indifferently, "It's just ......"
"How?"
"We're just afraid he'll be angry with Master Pudao like this, right?"
"Dip your clothes, you're too careful!" Shen Junqian smiled indifferently, "How can you not be angry with the stinginess of the great monk." โ
Seeing that Zhan Yi didn't seem to understand quite well, he added with a smile, "The key is that I am not the believers of the Great Monk, who cares if he is angry or not." Besides, we didn't do anything, it was those attendants around the great monk who accidentally showed their traces in Jinling and were seen by the monks of Bao'en Temple, what does it matter to us?"
"It's none of your business, the little monk doesn't know, but Master Pudao feels that you have a lot of fate with the female benefactor, and invites you to drink a cup of Zen tea, I don't know if you go or not?"
