For the relics, Ye Fan is only hearsay, it is said that after the cremation of the monks, the bones and bead-shaped gems left behind, also known as Buddha bones and Buddha relics, the relics have different shapes, round, oval, lotus-shaped, etc., and the colors are also different, white, black, green, red, etc., like jewelry. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The formation of relics is closely related to the practice of the practitioner during his lifetime, and the relics are formed through the practice of precepts, concentration, and wisdom, coupled with one's own great wishes, and are very precious. Ye Fan also knows about the relics, and if he goes deeper, Ye Fan doesn't know it, and he hasn't even seen the real thing.

After all, the relics are Buddhist treasures, and they are rarely seen.

The old abbot smiled slightly, and said to Ye Fan: "The first abbot once got a relic of Shakyamuni Buddha, and left a last word, whoever can comprehend the wordless stone tablet will give him the relic." After speaking, the old abbot stood up and motioned for Ye Fan and Jiang Yue to follow.

Along the mountain road, the old abbot took Ye Fan and others to the relics stupa where the relics were stored, this is the pocket version of the relics stupa, only more than three meters high, composed of three parts of the tower base, the tower body and the tower stop, it is the building form tower, it has a strong classical atmosphere, the whole body is golden, the golden light is shining under the sun, there is quite a majestic and solemn atmosphere.

Standing in front of the relic, Jiang Yue said in surprise: "It is worthy of being an ancient temple with a history of hundreds of years, and it has such a wonderful relic, the old abbot, as far as I know, the relics produced by Shakyamuni after his death and cremation have been distributed to various places and become the treasures of various temples." Temples everywhere are proud to have relics. ”

The old abbot folded his hands and said: "Amitabha, the donor is right, only the temple with the relics of Shakyamuni Buddha can be regarded as justifiable, but with the changes of the times, many monks have passed away after cremation, there are also a large number of relics, which are enshrined in the temple to which the monks belong, we have one hundred and eight relics here, in addition to the relics of Shakyamuni Buddha, the others are left after the cremation of the monks of the past dynasties. ”

The relics stupa is sacred, out of respect for the relics, Ye Fan did not activate the perspective eye, but stood quietly by the side to watch.

The old abbot continued: "There is a relic of Shakyamuni Buddha here, and today I will give it to the donor, hoping that in the future cultivation process, you can believe in the Dharma and have good thoughts in your heart. After saying that, the old abbot came to the stupa, folded his hands, and then recited the scriptures silently, and after about a stick of incense, the old abbot opened the stupa and took out all the relics from it.

A total of one hundred and eight, all kinds, different shapes, different colors, some look like diamonds, some look like black stones, seeing so many relics, Ye Fan and Jiang Yue were stunned, the first time they saw the real thing, the two of them felt very magical.

After a person is cremated, there should be ashes left, how can a relic like a jewel be formed? Ye Fan just checked the information with his mobile phone, and some experts said that this may be the reason why the monk has been a vegetarian for a long time, which is a bit nonsense, there are more vegetarians, even if they are not monks, there are also vegetarians, why are there no relics? Some experts say that this is a stone produced in the body before death, such as gallstones and the like, which is even more nonsense, the appearance of the stone and the relics are completely unused, and the stone will disappear when the body is cremated.

The old abbot silently recited the scriptures, picked out a golden oval relic, held it in both hands, handed it to Ye Fan with a solemn expression, and said: "Donor, this is the relics of Shakyamuni Buddha, you have penetrated the wordless stone tablet, which proves that you are destined, and I will officially give this relic to you now." ”

Ye Fan clasped his hands together, nodded to the old abbot, and then carefully took the relic, and the moment he touched the relic, a feeling of peace and tranquility hit his heart, making Ye Fan feel very comfortable.

The old abbot looked at Ye Fan quietly, and didn't speak, just looked at it, about the time when there was a stick of incense, the old abbot's brows were furrowed, according to the records of the first generation of abbots, if you can see through the wordless stele, after getting the relics, there should be resonance, but now that the time of a stick of incense has passed, why hasn't there been a reaction?

Ye Fan was furious when the old abbot looked at him, anyone who was stared at by an old monk with a solemn face on a stick of incense would be furious in his heart, Ye Fan said secretly, the old abbot would not take a fancy to him anymore, and planned to let him become a monk, right? Thinking of this, Ye Fan subconsciously shivered.

"Donor, do you feel anything?" the old abbot asked uneasily, the current phenomenon exceeded the record of the first generation of abbots, and the old abbot was a little overwhelmed.

Ye Fan said truthfully: "I feel very peaceful, like a spring breeze, very comfortable." ”

The old abbot frowned and fell into deep thought, and after a while, the old abbot said, "You concentrate and try to use your true qi to urge it." ”

Ye Fan nodded, opened the perspective eye, and at the same time urged the true qi, Ye Fan was surprised to find that the perspective eye, which had never failed, could not see through the relics, you know, even if it is steel and rock, Ye Fan can see through it at a glance, but now he can't see through a small relic, and then Ye Fan swept the other relics with the perspective eye, Ye Fan can see through, what is the substance inside Ye Fan can't say, but it contains a powerful and mysterious power.

This frightened Ye Fan, it is estimated that these relics are those that have been condensed by the monks for many years, containing a lot of power, as for the relics of Shakyamuni Buddha, Ye Fan couldn't see through, which made Ye Fan even more surprised, although it was only one of the many relics of Shakyamuni Buddha, but it was strong enough.

Suddenly, bursts of golden light erupted from the relics, and under the stunned eyes of the old abbot, a golden light rushed into the center of Ye Fan's eyebrows, and then the relics turned into a pile of flying ashes, which were scattered by the wind. The old abbot said with surprise on his face: "Congratulations to the donor, you have obtained the essence of the relics." ”

"Essence?" Ye Fan looked at the old monk suspiciously, after the golden light rushed into the center of his eyebrows, Ye Fan just felt a slight swelling pain in his brain, and then he didn't feel it.

The old abbot put the remaining relics back into the relics pagoda, and then opened the protection mechanism, then folded his hands and said to Ye Fan with a reverent face: "The Taoist monk has practiced penance all his life, and all his power has been transformed into relics, so the relics contain a lot of essence, you can't feel it for the time being, and when your strength reaches a certain level, you may know the benefits." ”

"Donor, let's go back to the Mahavira Hall and I'll tell you some Dharma. The old abbot said with a smile on his face.

After returning to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, Jiang Yue, who had been silent, was shocked by the miraculous phenomenon just now, and said: "Old abbot, let me take the liberty of asking, is there really a god and Buddha in this world?"

The old abbot pinched the Buddha beads in his hand and said lightly: "Phase is born from the heart, there is no self and no phase, emptiness is born from the heart, and there is no emptiness without me." ”

Jiang Yue scratched his head and said with an embarrassed face: "Old abbot, I don't read much and didn't understand, can you explain it to me in a more popular way?"

Ye Fan really wanted to give Jiang Yue a slap, something that didn't make a difference, he didn't understand it, he didn't understand it, and said that reading said, what is the special connection between this and reading? Look at me, I read a lot, but I still don't understand. But Ye Fan can only say this in his heart, Buddhism has a history of thousands of years, it is a spiritual belief, and it is also a philosophy that has been precipitated for thousands of years.

Although these words are short, they contain a lot of things.

"If you think there is, then there is, if you think there is no, then there is not, Buddhism is a kind of faith, cultivating people's sentiments, giving people wisdom, teaching people to be good, and getting rid of evil thoughts......" The old abbot said with a smile on his face, saying that there was a full time of incense, without repetition, and it sounded very reasonable.

Not to mention Jiang Yue's goods, even Ye Fan was a little confused, the Buddhist culture accumulated for thousands of years requires a long time to study, and it is not something that can be understood in a while. Ye Fan clasped his hands together and said to the old abbot, "Thank you for your advice, disciple will keep it in mind." ”

The old abbot smiled slightly and continued: "What is good? What is evil? Good and evil are only in a thought, fatal salvation is good, universal sentient beings are good, eradication of evil is good...... The donor has already penetrated the wordless stone tablet and obtained the golden body relics of Shakyamuni Buddha, and the future is limitless. ”

"The greater the power, the greater the responsibility, I hope that the donor can take up his own responsibility, uphold justice, eradicate evil, and purify all sentient beings. The old abbot said earnestly. The old abbot has seen too much, for example, the rebellious pavilion owner, as his strength increases, he begins to go crazy, bent on getting more, and unscrupulous means to achieve his goal.

Ye Fan said with a smile: "Disciple keep it in mind. ”

The old abbot nodded towards Ye Fan, and suddenly, the old abbot's face became very surprised, and he said, "If I'm not mistaken, the two donors are practicing the Vajra Body Method, right?"

Ye Fan was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what the old abbot was talking about, so he said, "Is the old abbot talking about the golden bell cover iron cloth shirt?"

The old abbot nodded and said: "That's right, the secular saying is that the golden bell cover iron cloth shirt, the more formal name is the vajra body method, practice this exercise, reach the extreme, you can cultivate the body of the vajra is not bad, the Buddhist patriarch Bodhidharma Patriarch pioneered the vajra body method, and cultivated to the twelfth level, practice will not break the vajra body." ”

Hearing this, Ye Fan was stunned for a while, the old abbot was worthy of being a master of the Xuan level, and he could actually see the exercises practiced by Ye Fan and Jiang Yue, and ordinary martial artists could see the exercises practiced by the other party without fighting, unless they were the same as Ye Fan, they had perspective eyes, or had some other means.
