Chapter 42 The Dharma Saves the Soul
Hu Xiaohui and Bai Xueting were a little surprised to see Xiao Yue's appearance in a monk's robe, Xiao Yue smiled faintly at them and didn't explain much.
Bai Xueting prepared a few bowls of somen noodles, and after eating, Xiao Yue said hello to the three of them, and then sat on the futon in front of the Buddha hall in the living room, crossed her legs on the ground, supported the back of her left hand with her right palm, and placed her two thumbs lightly on the dantian, closed her eyes and began to meditate.
Several people knew that they needed to meditate before doing things, and no one bothered Xiaoyue, Ye Yang meditated on the sofa by himself, and ran Sunday, Hu Xiaohui and Bai Xueting packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went to the kitchen, closed the kitchen door, and didn't come out again.
When it was dark and night came, Xiao Yue folded her hands and recited the Buddha name, and slowly stood up.
Seeing that Xiao Yue had moved, Ye Yang also stopped meditating, stood up and looked at her, Hu Xiaohui and Bai Xueting also came to the living room, and everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Yue.
Xiao Yue nodded to everyone and said, "It's almost time, let's start!"
Ye Yang asked, "Do you need us to do anything?"
"Don't bother everyone, just stand aside!"
After that, Xiao Yue took out a hand basin, took half a basin of water, and took out an incense burner from the things Ye Yang had prepared in advance and placed it in the middle of the Dharma platform, and took out three incense sticks from the sandalwood tube and placed them on the Dharma platform.
Then he took out a research platform, mixed it with cinnabar and grinded it into a paste, put a brush on the research platform, placed a blank tablet on the side, put a small porcelain bottle on the side of the tablet, and put the futon five steps away in front of the platform, and took out a set of wooden fish and placed it in front of the futon.
After making all the preparations, Xiao Yue officially began the transcendence ceremony.
Xiao Yue first walked to the side of the basin and put the Buddha beads in her hand on her wrist, carefully cleaned her hands with the water in the basin, and then walked back to the Buddha hall and folded her hands to the Buddha hall and said: "Disciple Shi Mingyue, sincerely pray to the master Shakyamuni Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva to summon the souls of the dead to the altar to listen to the Dharma and survive in the West and the happy world." ”
As the words fell, a Buddha light flew out above the Buddha hall and landed behind the incense burner on the Dharma platform, turning into a faint Buddha shadow. After Xiao Yue knelt down and worshiped the Buddha hall, she came to the Dharma platform and said the Buddha name to the Buddha shadow: "Nan Wu Amitabha!"
After reciting the Buddha's name, Xiao Yue lit the three sandalwood sticks on the Dharma platform, inserted them on the incense burner, walked to the blank tablet, recited the Buddhist scriptures silently, picked up the tablet with his left hand, and held the brush with cinnabar in his right hand, and wrote vertically on the tablet from right to left: "The Buddha recommends the undead and the tired but wronged creditors of the Dharma platform, go to the altar to hear the Dharma and reincarnate in the lotus seat of the Western Elysium." ”
Every time Xiao Yue wrote, there was a Buddha light flashing, until the writing was completed, the Buddha light of the entire tablet was released, Bai Xueting was different, and she clasped her hands together and whispered: "Amitabha!" Ye Yang and Hu Xiaohui also stood straight, their expressions were very respectful.
Xiao Yue placed the tablet under the shadow of the Buddha, picked up the porcelain bottle, just opened the cork, retreated to the Dharma platform three steps away, and recited it three times: "Nan Wu permanent residence of the Buddha of the Ten Directions, Nan Wu permanent residence of the Ten Directions of the Monk, Nan Wu permanent residence of the Ten Directions of the Monk......"
A ray of Buddha's light entered the bottle, and then, a small golden lotus held out a three-inch-tall pale white figure from the porcelain bottle, and the figure knelt on the golden lotus, his hands folded, his eyes closed, and his expression calm.
Xiao Yue closed her eyes and recited the scriptures in a whisper in her mouth: "Contemplating the Bodhisattva of Freedom, when you are doing a lot of provoking the honey like a deep one, you will see that the five aggregates are empty, and you will overcome all sufferings and sufferings......
While Xiao Yue was chanting, the golden lotus kept spinning, constantly flashing with Buddha light, and the faint Buddha light was reflected on the body of the yin soul, making the white yin soul seem to have some vitality.
After reciting the Heart Sutra, Xiao Yue opened her eyes, re-lit three sticks of sandalwood, inserted them in the incense burner, folded her hands, and chanted softly: "The incense of the furnace is smoked in the Dharma realm, the Buddhas of the seas will be heard from afar, auspicious clouds will be formed everywhere, and the Buddhas will be ...... in cash."
I saw that the Buddha shadow on the Dharma platform slowly stretched out his right hand, the palm was straight, the palm was upward, the golden lotus also stopped turning, and the yin soul fell into the palm of the Buddha shadow, the Buddha shadow's eyes were slightly closed, the Dharma statue was solemn, and the yin soul was still kneeling on the golden lotus, like a statue, motionless.
At this time, Xiao Yue walked to the front of the Dharma platform, lifted the monk's robe, sat cross-legged on the futon, held the Buddha beads in her left hand and slowly rotated, picked up the wooden fish with her right hand, and knocked it.
"Please follow me to sincerely repent of the undead and their unjust creditors!" Xiao Yue's voice is loud, her aura is powerful, and she is not angry and arrogant.
Knock~~Knock~~Knock~~ Xiao Yue took the wooden fish and knocked it up one by one, following the rhythm of the wooden fish in front of her, and kept chanting in her mouth: "All the bad karma created in the past is born from beginningless greed and hatred, born from body, speech and mind, and I repent of everything now......"
Every time he recites it, he turns a Buddhist bead, and the Buddhist beads in his hand are a total of eighteen, that is, he recites eighteen times after turning around, Xiao Yue stopped when the last one of the Buddhist beads turned to the sixth circle, and recited the confessional scriptures one hundred and eight times.
At this time, beads of sweat were already oozing from Xiao Yue's face, and on her back, there were also faint sweat marks on the monk's robe, but this was not over.
Xiao Yue wiped the beads of sweat from her face and continued: "I pray to all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, may the Dharma Tai's dead souls be destroyed and good beings will be destroyed, and from today onwards, take refuge in the Three Jewels with me. Take refuge in the Buddha and not fall into hell, take refuge in the law and do not fall into hungry ghosts, take refuge in the Sangha and do not fall into animals. Come with me and sincerely wish to live in Elysium......"
At this time, on the Dharma platform, the shadow of the Buddha gradually became clear, slowly opened his eyes, the Buddha's light was bright, and the golden lotus held up the yin soul, turned into a Buddha light, and flew westward......
Xiao Yue knelt on the futon, folded her hands, lowered her head slightly, and said: "May I use this to repent, make a vow, and recite the merits of the Buddha to save life in the Western Elysium, and return to all the lives of the six realms of the Dharma Realm, to the wronged relatives who have experienced calamities and lives, to all those who have seen and heard, to the Yin Spirit, to eliminate the obstacles of sin, to be born early in Bliss, and to become a Buddha as soon as possible." Nam no Amitabha ......"
After Xiao Yue finished speaking, the shadow of the Buddha on the Dharma platform gradually faded, and finally disappeared without a trace, and the Buddha's light flashed above the fairy hall, and after a while, the Buddha's light also disappeared, and the room returned to its original calm.
Bai Xueting walked to Xiao Yue's side, stretched out her hand to help her to sit down on the sofa, Xiao Yue's face was full of fatigue at this time, leaning on the sofa and closing her eyes to recuperate, Hu Xiaohui poured a glass of water for her, handed it over and said: "Sister Xiaoyue's merits are complete, it opens our eyes, drink some water, and rest for a while!"
Xiaoyue took the water cup and took a sip, Weihu Xiaohui smiled slightly to show her gratitude, but did not speak, it could be seen that she had consumed a lot of physical strength, and she could barely cheer up.
Bai Xueting also said on the side: "Senior Sister Mingyue's Buddhism is profound, which makes me very impressed, and the Sutra Buddhism is also broad and profound, I will ask my sister for advice in the future." Amitabha!"
Xiao Yue said softly: "This is also the first time I have used the Dharma supernatural power to transcend the undead, but fortunately, I have lived up to everyone's trust, and I am also very pleased." ”
Ye Yang also walked over, looked at Xiao Yue and said, "I didn't expect you to have such an understanding of Buddhism now, it is really a deep Buddha relationship and a high level of understanding, which is gratifying." ”
Xiao Yue listened to Ye Yang's words and smiled, did not speak, and took another sip of water, after this moment of rest, her physical strength recovered a lot, she suddenly remembered something and asked Bai Xueting, "Sister Xueting, you said that your immortal family is not practicing Sutra or Tantra, what kind of Buddhism is it?"
Bai Xueting shook her head and said: "I don't know the specifics, it should be a branch of the Sutra, but it is not entirely the teachings of the Sutra, according to legend, it is the Dharma Patriarch when he passed on the Dharma to the East of the earth, one of his doppelgangers cultivated the positive fruit, passed down, and the Sutra is the same qi and branch, my understanding of the Dharma is not deep enough, I can't fully answer your question." ”
Xiao Yue was a little embarrassed and said to Bai Xueting: "I'm sorry Sister Xueting, it's my curiosity, I took the liberty of asking, it's rude!"
Bai Xueting smiled and said: "We are all our own people, there is nothing that cannot be said, we can often discuss Buddhism together when we have the opportunity in the future, you don't have to be polite, senior sister has a merit today, I should really congratulate you!"
Thinking of the experience of Buddhism just now, Bai Xueting said to herself: "I wish to be born in the Pure Land of the West, the Jiupin Flower is the parent, the flower blooms to see the Buddha enlightened and has no life, and the Bodhisattva is the companion ......."
After hearing this, Xiao Yue got up and gave a Buddha salute, and said softly: "Nan Wu Amitabha......!"
