What the 433 cherry represents

"Master Xingyu is back with cherries, followed by a foreigner!" "Yuanshan is like a primrose, and the whole Longxing Temple knows about Xingyu's win back of cherries.

But everyone was very curious about the foreigner who followed behind Xingyu, it turned out that he refused even to let William go back and wait for the news, and even William proposed to go back to Longxing Temple directly with Master Xingyu, Xingyu told him that there was an important seminar in Longxing Temple after that, and it was inconvenient to take him back to the temple, and William said that he could be a helper and help Master Xingyu during the seminar.

Master Xingyu thought that the people in his craft temple had been eating it for decades, and they should find someone to change their taste, so he didn't continue to refuse.

"Moderator, Mr. William is the chef who exchanged cooking skills with us today, he wants to become a volunteer of our Longxing Temple and help me serve everyone together during the seminar, Mr. William also has a lot of experience in vegetarian cooking, I don't know if I can make an exception to take him in. "Master Xingyu made it clear from the beginning that William was here to stay.

"Since this Mr. William can have such a heart, let him stay. ”

For the people under the mountain, Master Xingyu's vegetable noodles can be described as a rare thing, but for everyone in Longxing Temple, they have been taught Xingyu's craftsmanship for decades, and every day is radish, potatoes, and tofu skin, and it is good to change a chef to improve the taste for everyone occasionally.

Moreover, Longxing Temple welcomes every volunteer to join, and naturally there is no reason to refuse him.

In this way, the "pious" William was left behind and began to live a life of volunteer in the temple. And unlike a third-rate character like William, Kunyang Cherry became the protagonist as soon as she came to Longxing Temple.

"Master Xingyu, is this the cherry you brought back from the mountain?" Although many volunteers bring melons and fruits up the mountain every year to share food with the monks of the temple, it is still an extremely new thing to be able to eat cherries in the copper city in March.

Yuan Shan drooled at the cherry brought back by Master Xingyu, and this temptation seemed extraordinary to the child. Even though the host and others are strict with themselves, they have always been more spoiled for the young Yuanshan.

"Well, I secretly left a handful for you, and the boxes are all used to offer to the Buddha, and then they will be used to receive the Dharma teachers from all over the world who are participating in the seminar, so don't think about it. Master Xingyu took out a small plastic bag from his pocket, which contained a dozen citrine cherries.

"Thank you, Master Xingyu. ”

The yellow and tender cherries should have been squeezed by the Xingyu Mage's pocket, and there were already some brown wounds on them, but this did not affect the deliciousness of the cherries at all.

The distant mountains savored the cherries in their mouths, and the sweetness made the child squint his eyes happily.

Soon the monks from various temples gathered in the lecture hall of Longxing Temple, which was a puja held by the monks of Longxing Temple, and invited all the teachers from the temples in Tongcheng, and even several teachers from other cities.

In fact, these seminars are held regularly at various temples, and they are a place for teachers to exchange new ideas, and they will come up with different perspectives based on their own understanding of the Dharma, and then discuss with each other.

"That's all for this morning's puja, so please come with me to the dining hall. ”

For this type of seminar, deepening the understanding of the Dharma is only a small part, but more about learning from each other, examining the management of various temples, observing the continuity of incense in the temples, and so on.

The hall is also a place that can reflect the overall situation of a temple. The number of monks who come to eat, the dishes are good, and the level of satisfaction with the temple can all be used to see the management status of a temple.

"Today's lunch is four dishes, one soup, and one fruit. ”

William, who is a volunteer here, still has attracted the attention of many mages.

"I didn't expect the volunteer project of Longxing Temple to be so successful, and there were foreign friends who came to participate. ”

The host didn't expect William to come here and start showing his face so soon: "They are all volunteers who volunteer to serve others, and I don't want to kick Mr. William out because he is a foreigner." ”

For a temple, how many volunteers it can receive and how many public welfare activities it can organize are all criteria for measuring the strength of a temple, not that the monks value these things, but that these things are closely related to their allocation from the government.

However, the monks must have financial support behind them when they go out to give lectures and organize public welfare activities, but really good temples do not collect money from believers without authorization, so all this depends on the management of the temples themselves.

In addition to serving the monks of the temple, Master Xingyu will also sell his own meals in the dining hall opened to the outside world, although the profit is relatively low, but the income of Longxing Temple in this area is very considerable, and the money will be used for the construction of the temple.

The exchange of Dharma at the seminar was only a small part of the seminar, and learning how the temples worked well was the key, and from the moment William appeared in the hall, the weight of Longxing Temple in the minds of the monks who came to the seminar began to change.

Today's rice is sweet and sour king oyster mushrooms, marinated duck, stir-fried shover leaves with soybean sprouts, and stir-fried spinach with sesame seeds, served with tofu and kelp soup.

William's side hasn't started yet, and the only thing he has to do today is to help Master Xingyu deal with the ingredients in the back. Therefore, each slice of this oyster mushroom has an even cross pattern on it, and it looks very flavorful when stained with sweet and sour sauce.

The shutters are evenly stripped, and the size of kelp slices and tofu is uniform, so it can be said that William applied Michelin standards to the dining hall of Longxing Temple.

For the management of the Longxing Temple, the mages once again scored a good score in their hearts. But when the fruit cherries came up after the meal, the monks from the various monasteries were a little surprised.

The citrine cherries in Kunyang are more or less known to each master, after all, there are also many volunteers in their temples who will bring some high-grade fruits to serve to the Buddha or share with the monks.

But this is a small amount, if you supply so many citrine cherries at one time, it is not only a matter of money, but also shows that there is also a powerful force of pilgrims behind Longxing Temple, otherwise where will these cherries be collected?

The cherry in front of him is no longer a fruit, it symbolizes the relationship between the temple and the pilgrims, and it is also a symbol of strength, representing not simple money and status, but the prestige of Longxing Temple in the local area.

This is also the reason why the host of Huiming wanted to sign a cooperative relationship with Qian Lina, Qian Longxing Temple is not short of money because its related industries are doing very well, but how many opportunities can monks show the strength of the temple?

When it comes to the understanding of Buddhism, everyone has their own opinions, there is no way to have a unified standard, but for the management of the temple, our Longxing Temple must be among the best, and this citrine cherry is the best proof!

Ahem, the poor monk is in love!
