The poem says:

Geng Shaohua, the campus changer,

When he was young, he was a vegetable farmer on the outskirts of the city.

How do you know that your beloved wife is gone because of illness,

Leaving the lonely man to suffer.

In the school's guard room, the campus guard told Qiu Dazuo about his own life experience.

It turned out that the surname of the campus husband was Geng, and his name was Geng Shaohua. Geng Shaohua was a vegetable farmer when he was young, and Geng Shaohua's family lived in Nanxi Village, a western suburb of Huangcheng. When Geng Shaohua was 33 years old, he married a girl named Liang Xiuying.

After marriage, the little couple can be said to be affectionate, loving, and sweet. On weekdays, Geng Shaohua and his wife Liang Xiuying also make a living by growing vegetables.

Who knows, there are unpredictable circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck.

Just after the young couple got married, just over a year ago, his wife Liang Xiuying got a strange disease. Geng Shaohua treated his wife Liang Xiuying for a strange illness, not only spent all the family's savings, but also sold the family's house and land. Even so, the strange illness of his wife Huang Xiuying was still ineffective. Soon, his wife Huang Xiuying died and left him.

After Geng Shaohua sent his wife away, he was already destitute, the house was gone, Geng Shaohua could only temporarily live in an abandoned old cave, the land was gone, Geng Shaohua had to push an old wheelbarrow, go to other people's fields to serve a cart of vegetables, and then push it to the city to sell, in order to make a living.

I don't know if the sudden departure of his wife hit Geng Shaohua too hard, or the difficulties in life put too much pressure on Geng Shaohua, for a period of time, Geng Shaohua's body has also deteriorated, Geng Shaohua's body is obviously getting thinner and thinner, Geng Shaohua himself feels that he is becoming more and more powerless when he goes out to sell vegetables every day. For a period of time, Geng Shaohua could only barely support himself every day, pushing a vegetable cart into the city to sell vegetables.

On this day, Geng Shaohua, as usual, walked to the city with difficulty with a cart of vegetables.

When Geng Shaohua walked by the foot of Tianzhu Mountain with a vegetable cart, a small monk was standing on the side of the road. The little monk saw Geng Shaohua coming with a cart of vegetables, so he stepped forward and asked Geng Shaohua: "Donor, may I ask, is this cart of vegetables of yours for sale?"

Geng Shaohua stopped the car and replied, "Yes, my cart of vegetables is about to be pushed to the city to sell." ”

The little monk listened and said, "Donor, I am a monk from Guang'en Temple on the mountain. Today, we don't have enough food in our room, and I want to buy your cart of food. But I don't know, are you willing to sell it?"

Geng Shaohua listened, looked up at the mountain road leading to the mountain, and then said, "Little Master, I can sell you this cart of vegetables." However, my health has not been good lately, and I don't have the strength to push this cart up the hill. ”

The little monk listened and said, "Donor, it doesn't matter, as long as you promise to sell this vegetable cart to me, I can push the vegetable cart up the mountain." ”

Geng Shaohua heard this and said, "Little Master, since you say so, then this cart of vegetables will be sold to you, and it will save me a trip to the city." Geng Shaohua said, and handed the vegetable cart to the little monk.

The little monk took the cart and twisted the front of the cart. Then, the little monk pushed the vegetable cart and walked up the mountain road. Geng Shaohua followed the little monk with his empty hands.

Geng Shaohua saw that although the little monk was pushing the vegetable cart up the mountain, the little monk's steps were very light, and he couldn't see what the little monk was struggling with. Geng Shaohua watched the little monk push the cart up the mountain, and sighed to himself, sighing that he had just become a sick man in his thirties, not even as good as a little monk.

Geng Shaohua carefully looked at the little monk's face again, and found that the little monk had clear eyebrows, beautiful eyes, white teeth, red lips, and the age of the little monk was seventeen or eighteen years old at most. Geng Shaohua looked at the little monk and thought to himself: cough, if this little monk takes off his monk's robe, grows his hair, and wears a fashion, then he must be a very beautiful little handsome guy. However, why did he become a monk at such a young age?" Geng Shaohua looked at the dignified and handsome face of the little monk, and was very puzzled. Geng Shaohua couldn't help but talk to the little monk and said, "Little Master, you are not very old, but ...... But why do you want to become a monk?"

When the little monk heard this, he looked at Geng Shaohua and smiled indifferently, and said, "Ha, my age is not very large, but I have already seen through the red dust. ”

When Geng Shaohua heard this, he asked more and more puzzled: "Little Master, is there anything wrong with Hongchen?"

The little monk smiled indifferently at Geng Shaohua again, and responded, "Ha, donor." Don't you know that Hongchen is a bitter sea?—— I got out of Hongchen at a young age, and I jumped out of the bitter sea early. ”

When Geng Shaohua heard this, he asked even more puzzled: "Little Master, why does Hongchen see a sea of suffering? There are many rich people, they are all very happy and happy." ”

When the little monk heard this, he smiled faintly and said: "Ha, donor, you may still know something, the glory, wealth, wealth, wife and son are all passing clouds of smoke and clouds, and they are all demonic obstacles. As everyone knows, anyone in the red dust has countless sufferings, such as the suffering of birth, old age, sickness and death, the suffering of wanting not to suffer, the suffering of resentment and hatred, as well as the suffering of floods, fires, earthquakes, car accidents, etc., as well as the suffering of killing each other, and even the suffering of prison. ”

Geng Shaohua listened and asked, "Little Master, then there will be no suffering for your monks?"

The little monk responded, "We monks have already jumped out of the Three Realms and are not in reincarnation, and we monks will all be reborn in the Elysium in the future." ”

Geng Shaohua listened, looked up at the vast desert sky, and asked, "Little Master, in the vast universe, is there really a world of Elysium?"

The little monk responded, "Of course there is." - This is to the West, over 10 trillion Buddha lands, there is a place called Elysium. There is a Buddha there, honored as Amitabha. ”

Geng Shaohua listened and asked curiously, "Why is that place called Elysium?"

The little monk responded: "The beings in that place have no suffering, only happiness. Therefore, that place is called Elysium. ”

Geng Shaohua asked again: "Why is the Buddha of Elysium called Amitabha?"

The little monk responded: "Because, this Buddha is immeasurably bright, illuminating the universe everywhere. Therefore, he is honored as Amitabha. ”

Geng Shaohua listened, thought about it, and asked curiously: "Is there any difference between Elysium and the earth we live in?"

"Of course it's different. The little monk went on to explain, "There is no killing in Elysium, but the earth is full of killing, there is no war in Elysium, but there is a lot of war on the earth, there is no disease in Elysium, but almost everyone on Earth is riddled with disease." All beings in Elysium are lotus incarnations, and they are immortal, so there is no suffering. The beings there are always happy in the heavens, gold is the earth, six o'clock in the day and night, and the mandala blooms in the rainy days...... The beings there are always all kinds of wonderful variegated birds...... The breeze blows the jewellery tree, and the achievement is such a merit*. Moreover, there are no beasts, no demons, no hell there. All beings there can eventually cultivate to become Buddhas, and they can all obtain the functions of the five eyes and six divine powers. ”

Geng Shaohua listened, and asked curiously: "Little Master, what is the function of the five eyes and six divine powers?"

The little monk replied: "The function of the five eyes, that is, all living beings there have the functions of the naked eye, the heavenly eye, the discerning eye, the Dharma eye, and the Buddha's eye, and the six divine powers, that is, the divine feet, the heavenly eyes, the heavenly ears, the heart and the fate, and the leakage. ”

Geng Shaohua listened to it and said, "Little Master, you have said that Elysium is fantastical and magical, and I, a vegetable farmer who sells vegetables, are a little yearning. - Little Master, may I ask you, I am not a monk now, but I also want to be reborn in Elysium in the future, is that okay?"

"Yes. The little monk responded, "- Amitabha Buddha once made 48 vows to purify sentient beings from the sea of suffering. Donor, as long as you devote yourself to the Buddha and recite the Buddha's name several times a day, you will be able to live in bliss at the end of your life. ”

The little monk pushed the vegetable cart, Geng Shaohua followed, and the two chatted while walking, and before they knew it, they came to the mountain. The little monk pushed the vegetable cart and led Qiu Dazuo through a dense pine forest, and a majestic thousand-year-old temple Guang'en Temple was displayed in front of them.

Geng Shaohua saw that the mountain gate of Guang'en Temple is very wide, the red painted mountain gate shines with dazzling luster, the top of the mountain gate is high with a gatehouse, and the gatehouse is covered with golden glazed tiles on the ridge of the eaves of the gatehouse, which makes the mountain gate of the temple very gorgeous*, and the bottom of the mountain gate is a step paved with blue stone, which looks like the steps of the green stone are very clean and tidy. On both sides of the mountain gate, there are two tall pines and cypresses, and the thousand-year-old temple Guang'en Temple is reflected in the shade of these tall pines and cypresses, which seems more and more secluded and far-reaching and simple*, and also brings a little coolness and mystery to tourists.

The little monk pushed the vegetable cart and soon came to the mountain gate of the temple. However, the little monk pushed the vegetable cart and did not go directly into the mountain gate of the temple. The little monk pushed the vegetable cart and just passed by in front of the mountain gate of the temple. Then, the little monk pushed the vegetable cart along the path outside the temple wall and pushed the vegetable cart to a courtyard at the back of the temple. This courtyard is a separate courtyard, and this separate courtyard is the dormitory of the temple.

The little monk pushed the vegetable cart under the eaves of the room, and unloaded the vegetables on the cart into the open space under the eaves. Then, the little monk paid Geng Shaohua the money for the food, and said to Geng Shaohua: "Donor, do you need me to send you down the mountain?"

Geng Shaohua said: "Little Master, no need, it's still okay for my body to push an empty car down the mountain." Little Master, you can go with your business. Geng Shaohua said goodbye to the little monk, and pushed the empty vegetable cart out of the temple room by himself, and then, Geng Shaohua pushed the empty vegetable cart and walked back along the original road.

Geng Shaohua pushed the empty vegetable cart and quickly walked to the mountain gate of Guang'en Temple. That's when it happened. Geng Shaohua looked up and saw a large number of colorful auspicious clouds floating in the sky. Geng Shaohua hurriedly stopped, looked at it, and saw that when the colorful auspicious clouds floated to the sky above Guang'en Temple, they stopped in the air and did not move. The more Geng Shaohua looked at it, the more amazing he felt.

This led to Geng Shaohua's adventure in Buddhism......
