Chapter 141: The Second Monk Arrives
Summer has not yet arrived, but the weather is already a little hot and dry. Updates are the fastest
Rao is the view of heaven and earth is located in the middle of the mountainside, and you can still feel a little stuffy.
Everyone in the audience of heaven and earth sat under the banyan tree in the open space at the entrance of the Taoist temple, enjoying the cool air, while Xuanwei explained the problems of cultivation to all the disciples of the sect.
Unconsciously, the once-decaying view of heaven and earth began to radiate powerful vitality.
In a sense, it also confirms the saying: if it is not broken, it will not stand, and if it is broken, it will stand later.
Maybe it is still very far away from the sage's preaching, and the blueprint for the Ten Thousand Immortals to come to the dynasty is still very far away, but given enough time to wait for this seed to take root and sprout, maybe there is such a possibility in the future!
At the end of the lecture, Xuan Wei sat on the rattan chair and continued to supplement and improve the development plan of the Heaven and Earth View in his mind.
Ruoshui held a medical book borrowed from the school library and studied the properties of many medicinal herbs diligently.
Sitting on the futon tomorrow night, muttering something in his mouth, he vaguely seemed to understand again.
Qiushui leaned against the trunk of the banyan tree, with an empty expression.
Some idle, Qinglian teased Xiao Ash, as if she was trying to persuade the latter to fall into her camp.
Next to her, Su Xin was shopping online with her mobile phone, ready to add some professional equipment to her kitchen.
Obviously, everyone is doing their own thing, but it gives people a very harmonious atmosphere.
Suddenly, Xuan Wei suddenly sat up from the rattan chair and looked at the position of Qingyun's one hundred and eighth steps.
I saw two monks, walking towards Xuanwei with slow steps.
Walking in front was a monk wearing an apricot-yellow monk's robe, who looked to be about forty or fifty years old.
His face is very kind, his eyes reveal a bit of compassion, and his every move is solemn and solemn, showing the demeanor of a monk.
One position behind him was a young monk in a moon-white monk's robe.
The young monk is neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, and even his appearance is extremely ordinary, belonging to the kind of person who is inconspicuous in the crowd.
However, Xuan Wei couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
The young monk's sense of existence is so faint that it is as if his whole person is nothingness and non-existence!
It is precisely because of this that in Xuanwei's sight, he has become extraordinarily conspicuous.
This is not accurate, what is conspicuous is not the young monk himself, but a little wisdom under his empty appearance.
Such an awkward, almost contradictory feeling made Xuan Wei frown, and some kind of guess came to mind in his heart.
"Amitabha, the poor monk has seen the master of the Xuan microcosm!" said the monk who walked in front.
Xuan Wei took a few steps forward and saluted back: "Supreme Heavenly Venerable, Master Puji is polite." ”
Pu Ji smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, and I never thought that Xuanwei Dao Chang had become the master of this heaven and earth view!"
"I heard that Master Puji has been practicing meditation in solitary meditation for many years, and he has not been able to visit, I hope the master will forgive me!" Xuan Wei replied.
Yes, this Master Puji is one of the few monks that Xuanwei has met.
When Xuanwei was just born, he was abandoned outside the gate of Lingchan Temple, and the first to discover Xuanwei was Puji.
If there was no Puji and the abbot of Lingchan Temple Huiyun to eat and drink, maybe there would be no Xuanwei today.
After Xuanwei was adopted by the Yuzhen Taoist of the Heaven and Earth Temple, he occasionally visited Lingchan Temple a few times under the leadership of the Yuzhen Taoist, and the two of them were quite familiar.
Even if Xuanwei does not have the memory of his childhood, no matter what, Xuanwei has also drunk the rice porridge of Lingchan Temple and received the favor of Lingchan Temple, so Xuanwei is still quite grateful and respectful to Lingchan Temple, especially Puji and Abbot Huiyun.
"The Xuan Micro Master is serious, but the poor monk has been closing his gaze, and he has never learned about the feathering of the Yuzhen Daoist!" Pu Ji said with regret.
Aside from the difference between Buddhism and Taoism, in fact, Tiandiguan and Lingchan Temple are neighbors, and the relationship between them is still okay.
Especially when Xuanwei's master Yuzhen Dao is there, he will also string the door from time to time.
At the mention of Yuzhen Daoist, Xuan Wei couldn't help but feel a little sad, but he soon recovered and said to Puji: "Master Puji, I don't know who this one is next to you?"
"Cheng Nian, let's say hello to Xuan Micro Master. Puji said to the young monk.
The young monk bowed slightly, his face was joyless and sad, and he calmly bowed and said: "The poor monk's Dharma name is Cheng Nian, and I have seen the Xuan Micro Master. ”
Xuan Wei immediately returned the salute and introduced several of his disciples to the two.
Puji swept over everyone one by one, and his gaze even stayed on the banyan tree for a few seconds, and after a long time, he sighed lightly and said, "It's not simple!"
As for what exactly he is talking about, it is not simple, it is unknown.
"This Mingye Daoist is extraordinary, and has Buddha nature, if he hadn't entered the Daomen, the poor monks would have wanted to accept him as a disciple!"
In Puji's opinion, even in the Lingchan Temple, there are few people whose qualifications can compare to that of tomorrow night.
If he hadn't worshiped the Heaven and Earth Contemplation and Cultivation Dao tomorrow night, Puji would definitely not let go of such a talented and beautiful jade.
"Master Puji laughed, Lingchan Temple is full of talents, such as this Master Chengnian, at such a young age, he has already realized the realm of 'the law has nothing to do with me', and I really admire the poor way!" Xuan said with a smile.
"When it comes to age, the microcosmic master is still younger than Cheng Nian, but I don't think that the master still knows so much about my Buddhism. Pu Ji sighed.
Cheng Nian, who had never had a change in expression, showed a slight change in expression on his face for the first time when he heard Xuan Wei say this.
In many TV dramas and books, you often hear the term "Mahayana Buddhism".
Since there is Mahayana Buddhism, is there still Hinayana Buddhism?
The answer is, of course, yes, but Theravada Buddhism is a derogatory term for Mahayana Buddhism.
Theravada Buddhism, or Southern Buddhism, is the name it often uses.
And Xuanwei's "Dharma has and I don't" is the proposition in Hinayana Buddhism.
In fact, many times, even pilgrims who believe in Buddhism do not know what the difference is between Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism.
However, Xuan Wei could see at a glance that Cheng Nian was practicing Hinayana Buddhism, which shows that he should have a good understanding of the two.
To put it simply, in the process of spreading and developing, Buddhism has developed many schools, in addition to Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism, there are also Tibetan Buddhism and so on.
Mahayana Buddhism was born out of the more ancient Theravada Buddhism, and after it was introduced to China, it combined with Chinese culture to develop the famous Zen Buddhism today, which has become the mainstream of Chinese Buddhism.
According to the general view, most of the Buddhism in China belongs to Mahayana Buddhism, and only in the areas where individual ethnic minorities live can there be Tibetan Buddhism and Theravada Buddhism.
As a disciple of Lingchan Temple, Cheng Nian practiced Hinayana Buddhism, which undoubtedly surprised Xuanwei.
