96 White Lotus Red Lotus

Yu Linxiu smiled and said: "I came in a hurry, in addition to saving your life, but also to transform a true dragon into the Buddha Gate." Get up, the ship is not a place for apprenticeship, and let me return to the temple to make a claim."

In early April, they returned to Jiankang Bao'en Temple. At this time, the peaches under the mountain are almost ripe, and the apricot blossoms on the mountain are in full bloom.

Zen Master Yulin held an apprenticeship ceremony for Shunzhi in accordance with the ancient system in the temple. Then arrange homework, let him kowtow in the morning and evening, burn incense in the morning and dusk, sweep the courtyard and do laundry, and recite scriptures around the Buddha.

Shunzhi is used to being pampered in the palace, so he has suffered this kind of hardship, but when he arrived in the temple, he was full of interest. This cycle repeatedly, and it didn't take long for the hands to be full of calluses.

Suide felt sorry for his master, and he rushed to do all the work that Shunzhi did.

Shunzhi said unhappily: "There is a lot of rough work in the temple, you can go and do it well." What are you fighting with me? I am deeply guilty, and if I don't do more work in the temple to eliminate my sinful karma, when will you and I return to Beijing?"

Suide was submissive and did not dare to speak. But he couldn't understand at all why Shunzhi, who was stubborn and strong, and even the queen mother dared to contradict him, was as obedient as a sheep in front of Zen Master Yulin.

On this day, when there was nothing to do, the master and apprentice chatted together, and Shunzhi asked: "Master, when the disciple was reading the Buddhist scriptures, he saw the three worlds of cause and effect, and suddenly wondered, who was my previous life? Since the emperor has a share, why did he die in the world? What is the fate of escaping into Buddhism now?"

Yu Lin smiled and said: "The purple robe changed by the yellow robe, just because you had a bad idea at the beginning, you were a son of the West, but you fell into the emperor's family."

"Actually, that was a long, long time ago.

In ancient times, there were two lotus flowers, one red and one white, in the Yao Pond."

"Red Lotus likes high-rise houses very much, so she stretches her neck every day to look up at the Lingxiao Treasure Palace.

It happened that the Jade Emperor passed by Yaochi, and the red lotus seized the opportunity to plead with the Jade Emperor,

The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "Your cultivation is not yet complete, and you are not blessed to enjoy the luxurious palace, so wait."

The white lotus also persuaded him to be patient,

Honglian was blinded by the red dust, and she didn't listen to it, just blindly begged

The Jade Emperor was helpless, looked at the Heavenly Residence Garden closest to Yaochi and said, "With your current blessings, you can only go to the nearby palace to be a slave and clean the bookshelves every day, are you willing to work like this?"

Honglian said happily: "As long as I can live in a big house, I am willing to be a slave."

The Jade Emperor stared at the fat lotus seeds on the red lotus branches and said: "In the Yao Pond, it is full of pure water, you have no leaves, but you can grow such a big fruit, no matter what, from now on you will change your name to Guohao, go to the Heavenly Garden to sweep the floor, where can you read more scriptures in your spare time, maybe you will have some achievements in this regard."

After the red lotus is gone,

The white lotus swayed alone, and endured ten thousand years of loneliness.

That year, the Queen Mother held a peach conference, and all the gods and Buddhas came to participate.

The Jade Emperor was happy after meeting the Buddha, and invited the Buddha to visit the Yao Pond, the Buddha saw that the white lotus in the pond was crystal clear, and he was happy, and praised again and again. ”

The Jade Emperor said with a smile: "The law is not alone, and the fate is born." Since the lotus flower is a symbol of Buddhism, the Buddha should take it to the Western Land of Bliss. ”

From then on, when the Buddha preached, he always held a white lotus in his hand."

And in the Yao Pond, only the lotus leaves under Bai Lian's body are still looking left and right, secretly resentful.

One day, the Buddha was preaching the Dharma to the believers, and the demon king was not convinced, so he went to stir up trouble again. The Buddha was silent,

Dapeng Golden Wings couldn't help it. Wings fluttered, and a vicious battle turned upside down.

Unexpectedly, in the midst of a fierce battle. The energy bead of Dapeng's golden wings was torn off by the Demon King,

At the critical moment, the twelve immortals of the Heavenly Palace, the commander of the Twelve Immortals of the Heavenly Palace, Lei Gongdian Mother, came to help in the battle. Seeing that the blood is about to stain the Buddha's door,

The Buddha threw away the white lotus with the thunder, played the Sanskrit music and continued to preach, and for a time the wonderful sound was everywhere, and the heavenly soldiers and the demon king were drunk and fascinated.

And the white lotus that was lost from the hands of the Buddha fell into the dust with the thunder,

Shanxi Fenyuan has a seat pipe water, there is a water called Tianchi on the mountain, there is a naturally formed big square under the mountain, the clear pond water is trickling down, passing through the ditch behind the square, nourishing countless Li people under the mountain,

On this day, everyone was drying grain in the square, listening to a thunder in the air to each other, and when people woke up from the surprise, they found that the square was struck by lightning near the root of the mountain and a large pool, and a crystal white lotus in the pool was looking forward to shining. The water of the Heavenly Pond changed from the trickle of the past and poured into the White Lotus Pond like a mountain and a sea. The rumbling sound of the water is like thunder,

People were amazed by such adventures, and built a small thundering temple next to the white lotus pond.

Many, many years later, a monk named Guangsen traveled here, and when he saw the white lotus, he was so surprised that he pounced on it. Holding the white lotus in his hand, his eyes were full of tears, and he couldn't bear to leave in amazement. It happened that because the temple was too small and there was no monk to preside over it, the people begged Guangsen to stay and preside over the Leiming Temple.

Guangsen readily agreed,

With his outstanding talent, within a few years, the operation of Leiming Temple has flourished.

It's just that every midnight, he will go to the White Lotus Pond to talk to the White Lotus,

Because Guangsen likes the tall palace very much, so after having money, he built the Leiming Temple with splendor.

The jewels aroused the greed of the traitor Zhao Xin and the imperial court,

Later, Liang Taizu Zhu Wen sent his third son Zhu Yougui to lead troops to destroy the temple and seize the treasure.

At the critical moment, Guangsen's junior brother Yuanrong rushed back,

Yuanrong used the Dafa of Spirit Control to seize the emperor's soldiers and horses, drove away Zhu Youqi, and exhausted the traitor Zhao Xin.

But after a military robbery, the thundering temple where incense flourished gradually fell silent.

The white lotus in the pond was indignant, so she shouted to the sky in the middle of the night: "This dog emperor is too bad, if I become the emperor in the future, I will let the people be blessed and the world will be ruled by Shun."

Caused by the power of wishes, there is no hindrance, and after a thousand years, the white lotus was really born into the emperor's house,

That white lotus is you, and everything is as you said when you made your vow, the name is Fulin, and the country name is Shunzhi.

When Zen Master Yulin said this, he looked into the distance and said: "The red lotus with fruits, because of the hard reading of the scriptures in the Heavenly Book Garden, had the compassion to save all sentient beings, so he was reincarnated in the world and preached the longitude of people, he was the abbot of the Leiming Temple later, Guangsen,

After the thunderous martyrdom, Guangsen lost his trace,

When I dreamed last night, I learned that he had been born in Nanyang Heilong Town three years ago, named Guohao, I am going to go to Nanyang tomorrow to pick up Red Lotus Guohao and let him be your junior brother, okay?"

Shunzhi said happily: "Very good, very good, Master, since Honglian and I haven't seen each other for thousands of years, and there is nothing big in the temple, I'll go with you to pick him up."

Yulin smiled: "You have a different identity, you can't show your head at will, it's better to protect the temple well, I'll come when I go,"

The next day, Zen Master Yulin came to Nanyang with a shoe, a pillar stick, and a servant of the wind and dust.

When Shi Yuanwai was talking to Zen Master Yulin,

Xiao Guohao, who was sleeping in Mrs. Shi's arms, suddenly kicked his calves and woke up,

While rubbing his eyes, he pointed at Zen Master Yulin with his chubby little finger and said, "Mother, has my master arrived?"

After speaking, he broke free from his mother's embrace, ran to Yulin Zen Master and knelt on his knees, and shouted loudly after saluting respectfully: "Disciple Shi Guohao pays homage to the master,"

Yu Linxiu smiled and said, "You little ghost, your legal name should be Master, and you are making your own opinions?"

Xiao Guohao said mischievously: "Master, this name was brought by my life? That's why my father gave me this name, and you thought all the way, and finally decided to use this name?"

Zen Master Yulin said with a flat face: "Two hours ago, you were still crying bitterly and couldn't help yourself, but now you are on display, let your mother pack your parcel for you, and we should leave immediately." ”

Xiao Guohao stuck out his tongue and obediently followed his mother into the back room.

Yu Linxiu turned back to Shi Yuanwai and said: "This kid is right, I did think all the way, and wanted to give him a resounding legal name, but after thinking about it, it is more suitable for you, Guohao."

Shi Yuanwai wept and said: "I knew that this child was extraordinary, but I really couldn't rest assured that he left my arms at such a young age." In this way, Master took Guo Hao to take a step ahead, and when I packed up some silver taels, I went to the monastery to worship, I know that the monks are hard, but you must eat and drink well, live well, money, I have it.

The master and apprentice rode a donkey and slowly returned to the Bao'en Temple.

As soon as he entered the mountain gate, Guo Hao jumped off the back of the donkey and shouted, "Senior Brother White Lotus, I'm here." Run to Shunzhi, who is sweeping the floor.

Shunzhi threw down the broom,

Holding the panting Guo Hao tightly, he slapped and asked, "Senior Brother Red Lotus, is it really you?"

Guo Hao grinned and said: "Senior brother, this is the fate of the Buddha, I will soon become a monk, why don't you also become a monk, the two of us are originally lotus bodies, and the pure Buddha is the destination."

Yulin shouted with a flat face: "Guohao shut up, Fu Lin maintains the world alone, how can he become a monk like you? If you are talking nonsense in the future, be careful that I will beat you with an incense board."

Guohao and Shunzhi were not afraid, they just ate and laughed secretly, but they didn't dare to argue.

Yu Linxiu shook her head and sighed: "Alas, although I have practiced for many years, I am still not a pure body. I'm nosy today, so that the two Innate Lotus flowers can get together here, but I don't know if this move is a curse or a blessing?"

You two are not allowed to cause me trouble."

Shunzhi and Guohao are also obedient, in addition to working every day, they are chanting scriptures, and the green lantern scrolls are free and clean.

Only in their spare time, the two often discussed: "The two of us read the scriptures, and we don't ask about the ten lines at a glance, but we are not rolling in the earthly world, and the chickens and geese are fighting.

After several begging, Yulin was not allowed,

When he asked in a hurry, he looked into the distance and said: "Guohao has nothing to worry about, there is nothing wrong with becoming a monk, how can Fu Lin evade his responsibility and become a monk?
