Chapter 481: Land and Water Puja

Qin Yu walked to Master Zhiren's side, and Master Zhiren introduced to Qin Yu: "Qin Jushi, this is Master Mingsheng, vice president of my National Buddhist Association and president of the Guangzhou Buddhist Association. ”

"I've seen Master Mingsheng. Qin Yu nodded and said hello.

"Qin Jushi's fluorescent connotation is worthy of being known as a genius that is rare in a century. Master Mingsheng smiled kindly and praised him.

"This is Mr. Cheng Yu-sum from Hong Kong. After Qin Yu and Master Mingsheng greeted each other, Master Zhiren introduced Qin Yu to the old man in Tang costume beside him.

"Master Zhiren's words are not right, although I am now in Hong Kong, my ancestral home is still from our eastern part of Guangdong. The old man in Tang costume shook his head with a smile, then looked at Qin Yu, stretched out his hand, and said, "Little Brother Qin is good!"

"Hello Zheng Lao!" Qin Yu didn't dare to slack off, stepped forward and shook the old man's hand, as a physiognomy master, it is essential to observe people's faces, the old man in front of him is extremely rich and noble from the perspective of physiognomy, Qin Yu understands in his heart that the other party is definitely a master whose net worth is not lower than Li Weijun.

After greeting a few people, Master Zhiren said to Qin Yu: "When Qin Jushi first came in, he should have also discovered the changes in my Guangxiao Temple. ”

Qin Yu nodded and replied, "I just heard from the little master who led the way that Guangxiao Temple is going to hold a water and land festival, which is really an immeasurable merit." ”

Qin Yu's admiration is heartfelt, the water and land puja is not a blessing meeting held in an ordinary temple, let alone those formalistic daily lessons, water and land conferences, which must hook the six paths. Eliminating disasters and praying for blessings, surpassing the souls of the dead, these require a lot of energy, and ordinary mages do not have this ability.

"Qin Jushi praised falsely, this is what we and other monks should do to pray for the believers to eliminate disasters, enjoy incense all day long, and always feed sentient beings. ”

Master Zhiren chanted a Buddha name, and the Mingsheng Grand Master also recited it, which made Qin Yu a little curious, could this Mingsheng Grand Master also have something to do with this water and land conference.

"The two masters are too modest. This water and land puja is a matter of supreme merit. I believe that tomorrow's water and land conference, Guangxiao Temple under the leadership of the abbot of Mingsheng, will be able to make the lights and candles not light themselves, and the flowers will float for ten miles. ”

Zheng Yusen's words came out. Master Zhiren and Master Mingsheng replied modestly at the same time: "Master Zheng's words make me feel ashamed. It's just that the Dharma is not enough. Don't dare to ask for auspiciousness from the sky. ”

After listening to Zheng Yusen's words, Qin Yu learned that Lu Dao, the vice president of the National Buddhist Association and the president of the Guangzhou Buddhist Association. It turned out to be the abbot of Guangxiao Temple, no wonder he just chanted the Buddha name with Master Zhiren.

As for what Zheng Yusen said about the lamps and candles that are not lit for self-evidentness, the meaning of the words "painting floating for ten miles" Qin Yu is also clear, this is the most famous allusion of the water and land puja.

The full name of the water and land festival is the Dharma Realm Shengfan Water and Land Pudu Lent Victory Meeting, which first originated in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties period, when Emperor Liang Wu of the Southern Dynasty greatly admired Buddhism, one day Emperor Liang Wu dreamed of an old monk and said to him: "Six Ways and Four Lives, suffering immeasurably, why not be a water and land (Lent) Puji group of spirits." ”

Emperor Wu of Liang is a person who advocates Buddhism, after getting the dream of the old monk, he rummaged through the allusions in the Buddhist scriptures, until he found the allusion of "Ananda meets the ghost king", Emperor Wu of Liang suddenly realized and began to establish this water and land puja.

Emperor Wu of Liang carefully prepared for the water and land puja for three years, and finally built it in Zhenjiang Jinshan Temple and held the first water and land puja.

When the water and land puja was about to open, Emperor Wu of Liang spent three years in the palace to write the water and land rituals, set up a dojo, did not light lamps and candles in front of the Buddha, and made a vow: "If the water and land puja can support the six realms and reach the breadth of sentient beings, may the lamps and candles not be lit after my worship, otherwise, the lamps and candles will be as dark as ever, and I would like to start." ”

After Emperor Wu of Liang made a vow, he bowed in front of the Buddha, just bowed down, in an instant, the hall was like day, the lamps and candles were not lit by self-evident, after three worships, the sky actually floated down the fragrant flowers, the whole palace appeared for a while Ten miles of incense, Emperor Wu of Liang saw this, his confidence increased greatly, and he decided to open the water and land puja after the most reluctance.

The light and candle are self-evident, the allusion of ten miles of incense began to spread widely among Buddhist believers, but it is a pity that although there are many temples in the future, there are many temples that have held water and land conferences, but this kind of vision has only appeared twice, the second time is that the Tang Dynasty Xuanzang master took the scriptures back, by the order of Tang Taizong to open the water and land conference, Pudu six ways, the day is the entire Chang'an City is shrouded in the glow, fragrant hundred miles.

Therefore, if you want to make the vision of ten miles of incense appear, it mainly depends on the depth of the Dharma of the teachers of the water and land puja.

But there are not many Dharma masters who have reached this level, at least Zhiren and Mingsheng are still a little lower in their realm, and to achieve this step, at least there must be a high monk equivalent to the realm of the Taoist Six Physiognomy to preside.

"Qin Jushi, I invite you to come today because I want to invite Qin Jushi to come and watch the ceremony tomorrow when I have a water and land puja. After Master Zhiren finished reciting the Buddha's name, he said to Qin Yu.

"Zhilu Daogui Temple is going to hold a water and land puja, even if the master doesn't invite it, Xiao Ke has to be cheeky to participate. Qin Yu said jokingly, but this was also what he said in his heart, the water and land conference, the first grand event of Buddhism, how could he be willing to miss it.

"Rest assured, the water and land puja will be held for seven days, and Qin will be able to live in my monastery and watch the ceremony with Mr. Zheng as a special guest. ”

Master Zhiren smiled, but Zheng Yusen, who heard this, flashed a fine light in his eyes, what was the origin of this young man, he didn't know before, but now seeing Master Zhiren's attitude towards this young man, he was a little surprised in his heart.

Master Zhiren's attitude towards this young man is even higher than him, Zheng Yusen knows very well that he can sit here and enjoy tea with the two masters because this water and land conference is funded by him, and all the expenses are paid by him, but this is it, during these seven days, he can only live in the guest rooms reserved for people like them in the temple, unlike the young man in front of him, who can directly live in the Zen courtyard of Master Zhiren.

Zheng Yusen knows very well that with the heart of Master Zhiren, treating this young man like this must not be because of the other party's family background, in terms of wealth, Zheng Yusen is the head of the Zheng family, he is very confident, there may be several families in China with more wealth than him, but it will definitely not be such a young man in front of him to be in charge, and in terms of status, only the descendants of the top families can be compared with him, but he has also seen the descendants of those families, and the young man in front of him is very strange at first glance, so it is also ruled out.

Zheng Yusen began to be curious about the identity of the young man in front of him, but no matter what he thought, he would never have thought that Qin Yu was a feng shui physiognomy, it was really because Qin Yu was too young and very confusing, and Master Zhiren did not introduce Qin Yu's identity, only Master Mingsheng mentioned "a rare genius in a hundred years", but the scope of this sentence was too wide, which was equivalent to not saying it.

"Mr. Zheng still doesn't know the identity of the Qin monk. Master Mingsheng swept the doubts on Zheng Yusen's face, he and Master Zhiren are brothers, but Master Zhiren concentrates on studying Buddhism, and he, as the abbot, has to be distracted from entertaining people, so he will be more mellow in dealing with people, no matter what, this water and land festival can be held, Zheng Yusen as a sponsor, Master Mingsheng still has to have a good relationship with the other party.

"Qin Jushi is a member of the Metaphysical Society, and he won the crown of the Guangzhou Metaphysical Society in one fell swoop this year, but he is a rare genius in the world of feng shui physiognomy in a century. ”

"Oh!" After Zheng Yusen heard Master Mingsheng's words, his face changed suddenly, and he looked at Qin Yu, in the eyes of their generation, they had always believed in Feng Shui, he didn't expect that the young man in front of him was actually a Feng Shui physiognomy master, and he could get the praise of these two masters, thinking that his attainments in Feng Shui physiognomy were not low.

"The two masters praised it falsely, Xiao Ke just entered the feng shui line, and he didn't dare to call him a genius. Qin Yu waved his hand and said modestly.

"The monks don't say anything, and Qin Jushi's future achievements are limitless, and he has the potential to become a generation of grandmasters. Zhiren replied seriously.

"Grandmaster's Potential ......"

Hearing this, Zheng Yusen was really shocked, he understood the hearts of these two masters, since the two masters said so, it means that the young man in front of him really has the potential to become a grandmaster, grandmaster, Zheng Yusen knows the Tao, since the Republic of China, there has never been a grandmaster in the feng shui world.

It is no exaggeration to say that a feng shui master will be treated with the most solemnity by the major families wherever he goes, and even if this is the case, it depends on whether the master of the family will give him face, and whether he is willing to let them catch up.

In the same way, no one wants to offend a feng shui master, otherwise, the other party will walk in front of their ancestors' tombs at will, and the family will not decline, and the current society is different from ancient times, with the popularization of the legal system, they do not dare to use some coercive means against the feng shui master.

Although Master Zhiren just said that the young man in front of him had potential, this already made Zheng Yusen dare not underestimate him, with the potential of a grandmaster, then at least he could become a master-level figure, and he was also the top existence among the masters, and in an instant, Zheng Yusen had the idea of making friends in his heart.

Maybe now this young man is not even a master, but Zheng Yusen, as a businessman, is best at investment, and making a good relationship before the other party becomes a master, which is much cheaper than waiting for the other party to become a master and then making friends, and this investment, maybe he can't use it, but his descendants can use it, and those who become great things should be foresighted, see all the hundred years at a glance, seek benefits for future generations, and ensure the longevity of the family.
