Volume 1 The Fog of the Green Mountains Chapter 22 Master Guangxin
A group of people escorted the old woman to Shanding Temple, and only a stick of incense time to see the mountain gate.
Shanding Temple is located in Dingbian County west of 30 miles of the griffin peak, the mountain is steep, the mountains are stacked, for the convenience of believers, the temple funded the construction of trails, to avoid many dangers. The whole temple is built on the mountain, and it has been continuously expanded by the presiding officer, and now the hall is numerous, row upon row, very grand.
When I went to the mountain gate, I saw that the main gate was closed, and only the side doors on both sides were opened. A couplet was engraved on the doorpost: "If you have evil thoughts, it is useless to burn incense." Hold on to your body, why don't you worship when you see me?". The crowd stood in front of the door, and the more they read it, the more profound it became. Buddhism teaches people to do good, but not for the Buddha himself, but for the world to get a pure heart, this is the supreme magic weapon that the Buddha gave to the world.
Entering the mountain gate, there is a huge incense burner standing on the square. The aroma of the furnace was wafting, and it was evident that many devout believers had come. The incense burner is the bell tower and the drum tower on the left and right, and the front hall is in front of it, and there is also a couplet on the hall door: "Crossing the sea of suffering, there is no shortcut to the south in the south of the mountain." Practice, there is incense in the Xiangji Temple. Another pun. A big Buddha in the hall sits on the ground, laughing with an open chest. The four fierce statues of the gods are angry and hit people's hearts.
Everyone walked to the main hall, and a gray-clothed monk walked out from the hall, and saw the blue-clothed girl who took the lead, "The donor came from afar, and he should have waited in front of the mountain gate, but today there are a lot of believers, and the affairs are complicated, and there are many laziness. ”
When the blue-clothed girl heard this, she didn't think about it, but just smiled: "The little woman often listens to the vast Buddhism and the prosperity of incense in Shanding Temple at home. I waited in a hurry, and I had to harass the master to forgive my sins. It's just that an old man accidentally fell on the mountain road today, I wonder if Master Guangxin has the leisure to check one or two on his behalf?"
"The donor came just in time, the family teacher had just finished the morning class and was resting in the meditation room, and the little monk would take you there. With that, the gray-clothed monk led everyone to the corridor next to the hall.
This way is in a hurry, everyone doesn't know what, but the white lotus is already sweaty and panting, and everyone is worried about the old woman, and they don't care for a while.
"If it weren't for the evidence of the cold since childhood, I could also get up at dawn like a big guy and practice some martial arts to defend myself, why would I be so weak and windy as I am now, and I would be tired of this appearance in a few steps?" Thinking of this, White Lotus looked at everyone's backs and sighed slightly.
Everyone followed the gray-clothed monk through the corridor through the forest, walked for a time of half incense, a small courtyard appeared in front of them, the courtyard wall of the mountain stone barrier, climbed with wisteria, now it is winter, but it is the season when the wisteria flowers bloom, the breeze is light, like the purple waves surge, the bursts of flower fragrance hit, lined with the white snow full of mountains and mountains is even more intoxicating and forgettable.
In the middle of the courtyard wall is a thatched eaves wooden door, I don't know how many years have passed, it looks a little mottled, and the dark brown door shows the vicissitudes of life. The thatch on the door was obviously freshly replaced, and it was verdant and green, and the wisteria flowers on the gable wall contrasted with each other, making the small courtyard look a little leisurely and dusty.
Before everyone arrived at the door, the two doors had been gently opened, and a thin monk walked out of the door, wearing a moon-white monk's robe, with a string of Buddhist beads hanging in his palm, white eyebrows and white hair, fluttering like a fairy.
"Haha, I once heard Master Jian mention the girl, and when I saw it today, she was really heroic, and the woman didn't let her eyebrows. After years of not seeing, Brother Ling is still okay?" The monk's face was clear, but his voice was like a bell, showing that he had a good cultivation.
When the blue-clothed girl saw the old monk, she didn't dare to hold it up, so she took two quick steps and snorted, "Master Lao is worried, my brother is all right." Today is just in time for the Shangyuan Festival, and I originally planned to go to the temple to make incense, but there are many affairs in the county, and I can't get away for a while, so I let the little girl come. I just saw a mother-in-law accidentally fall on the mountain road, and I took the liberty to ask the master to check one or two on my behalf, I wonder if it is convenient for the master?"
"The donor's words are serious, the old man came to the Buddha to incense, suffered some pain, of course the temple is duty-bound, please come in quickly. The old monk listened to what the girl said, and hurriedly turned sideways to invite everyone in.
The small courtyard is not big, a mulberry tree in the courtyard, tall and straight, by the shade of the tree put a round table, a couch, a pot of tea, a volume of scriptures on the round table, think that when everyone comes, the old monk is tasting tea, reading the scriptures. In the middle of the small courtyard is a green tile house, with blue terrazzo walls, with cyan tile eaves, and occasionally a few flowers and plants standing stubbornly against the morning sun between the brick gaps and tiles.
When everyone entered the courtyard, the old monk instructed everyone to help the old woman to sit on the couch, stand aside, stretch out his hand on the old woman's wrist, close his eyes and meditate.
After a long time, the old monk raised his eyes and looked at several women, and waved his hand, "A few female donors, can you roll up this grandmother's trouser legs?"
When Erya heard this, she raised her arms first, rushed forward, and shouted: "I'll come, I'll come." ”
Rolled up the old woman's trouser legs, only to see that the left leg was already swollen, and the second girl pressed her fingers on the old woman's leg according to the old monk's words, only to see that the pressed part was immediately pale and sunken, and could not recover for a long time. When the old monk saw this, he frowned slightly.
"Master, what disease is my mother-in-law suffering from, and is it easy to treat?" the blue-clothed girl asked when she saw the old monk's expression.
"Don't worry," the old monk smiled slightly, and then turned around and asked the old woman if she had any other discomforts or symptoms on weekdays. After listening for a long time, he turned around and took the pen and paper, and after a while, he opened a list, turned around and summoned a little novice to come, and whispered a few words. The little novice saluted, took the slip, and turned and hurried away.
Erya poked half of his head over and glanced at it, only to see that what was written on the paper were some raw astragalus, Han Fangji, motherwort, Jiao Baizhu and the like, don't say you see it, you haven't heard of it, so you have to retreat to the side.
The old monk saw that the little novice came out of the courtyard, so he looked at everyone and said: "This mother-in-law is the spleen and kidney yang deficiency caused by the dampness is difficult to fall, the dampness is blocked in the legs for a long time, it is swollen, walking is quite inconvenient, it just snowed last night, although the monks will clean the mountain road in the morning, but the old man is still difficult to walk, the old man just took a look, the old man's left leg has been broken. My prescription replenishes qi and dispels dampness, invigorates blood and dissipates blood stasis, and this mother-in-law only needs to take it for a month to see the effect, and the old man who hurts his bones will also be taken well. Later, the apprentice took the medicine, and the old man would first fry a pair for the mother-in-law to see if she felt unwell. It's rare for you to come here, so why don't you take a tour of the temple first?"
After listening to what the old monk said, everyone knew that it would take some time for the old woman to be diagnosed and treated, and many of them stayed in the courtyard and couldn't help, so they saluted the old monk and retreated.
Now that the old woman has been treated, all the young people are relieved, Er Ya has never seen such a grand temple, and he is quite excited to lead the way. All the way through the Maitreya Palace, the Pilu Palace, the Tibetan scripture building, all the young people into a hall to learn the temple believers to worship.
Passing through the Tibetan scripture building, there is a Buddha hall in front, and there is a Buddha statue in the hall, with three eyes and six arms, and the eyebrows are graceful. A long table was placed next to the Buddha statue, and many people crowded around the table, and the surrounding water could not be passed. Erya was curious, ran to inquire, and came back not long ago to pull the white lotus and go with the girl in blue.
Li Qing and the others saw that the three girls were mysterious, and most of the people around the table were women, so they had to wait on the sidelines. After a while, I saw three girls talking and laughing in a low voice, and came out together. White Lotus glanced at Li Qing and the others, clouds flew on her face, and she hurriedly moved her gaze elsewhere.
Everyone was strolling to the Thousand Buddha Cliff, suddenly heard someone calling, looked back, and saw the little novice in the old monastery running towards everyone. It is said that the master has finished the diagnosis and treatment of the mother-in-law, but the broken bones on the old woman's leg are a little complicated, and the temple has prepared a carriage and horse, and will send the old woman to the city for medical treatment.
Several teenagers thought that since it was everyone who sent the old woman to the temple, now that they went to the city, they naturally had to go with them, otherwise how would the old woman turn around when she was injured and sick in the city?
