Episode 17 On the Way to Learn the Scriptures

"You're so right, I'm a person who admits death, since I've made up my mind, I always have to find a way to overcome it, so let's understand the characteristics of Arhat first.

"I knew that Buddhist culture was vast and profound, and it was not easy to master it, so I calmed down and continued to study Buddhist culture, supplementing relevant knowledge, studying several versions of Arhat images, and letting Arhat images sink into my mind. ”

Teacher Ping replied.

"Luohan" in the chest, it is easy to do, when going out to dig stones, Mr. Ping tried his best to figure out how to become famous.

His spare time is basically spent playing with stones, running in Hua'an and Zhangzhou, Shi Nong knows that Mr. Ping likes head stones, and he will tell him as soon as possible, and will also deliberately raise the price.

As long as Mr. Ping likes it, no matter what the price is, he will not hesitate to take it!

When the stone was brought home, he first brewed a pot of tea, picked up the stone, and watched and pondered while tasting the tea, looking for and tasting the Zen rhyme hidden in the stone;

Sometimes I simply sit alone indoors, think quietly, have a silent communication with the Arhat Strange Stones, and feel the Zen flavor.

After collecting so many days and months, the family finally collected thousands of Arhat stones.

"Arhats have different shapes, how to classify them?"

Kowloon likes to break the casserole and ask to the end.

"At first, I was also worried, this Arhat combination form has a standard type and a change type, according to the rich and colorful characteristics of the Nine Dragons Bi character stone, I use a change type combination. ”

Calmly pointed to a strange Arhat stone on the wall and talked about his stone scriptures.

After analysis, Mr. Ping summarized the collected Arhat stones into six major characteristics: color, art, limb shape, head, facial features and skin of the stone.

Among them, each characteristic can be divided into different combinations, such as the art expression class can be divided into pattern stone, relief stone, proportion stone, freehand exaggerated stone, line stone, demeanor stone combination, the facial features only eye stone combination can be divided into potholes, lines, color difference, texture and other combinations.

According to the above combination method, when creating, Mr. Ping selected the fine products from many Arhat stones, matched with the base, and formed a small combination of each 18 Arhats with common characteristics, and then formed a large combination of 500 Arhats by 28 small combinations with different characteristics, and finally formed two groups of 504 "Arhats" each, named "Five Hundred Arhats" and "Millennium Arhats".

One of the groups is specially displayed in the "Five Hundred Arhats" at home, showing the 28 characteristics of the Jiulongbi Buddhist figure stone from different sides and angles, as well as the shape, quality, color, rhyme and meaning of the "Five Hundred Arhats", which is very artistically appealing, and can be called the "database" of the Jiulongbi Buddhist figure stone.

After the completion of the "Five Hundred Arhats", Mr. Ping has participated in two sessions of the Cross-Strait Stone Exhibition, so many Arhat stones put out, immediately caused a sensation in the domestic strange stone world, stone friends rushed to tell each other, stone friends from all over the country have come to watch and learn from the scriptures.

After visiting, an old general sighed: "500 Arhats, 500 personalities, 500 Buddha stories, and 500 forms that are absolutely identical, it is really remarkable that people can't see enough and can't think through it!"

Calmly finished telling the story, drank a cup of tea to moisten his throat, since the "Five Hundred Arhats" became famous, he was not complacent, the process of combining the "Five Hundred Arhats" is also a kind of practice, so that he realized the six ancestors of Zen Buddhism Huineng: Bodhi has no tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing, where to stir up the dust of the indifferent state of mind.

Teacher Ping told the truth to Kowloon, he used to play with the stone is also very impulsive, in the process of combining the "five hundred Arhats", his heart slowly calmed down, perhaps, this is the charm of strange stones, he hopes that young people can feel something from the "Five Hundred Arhats", don't just think about playing with stones to make money, people, or a little realm, Zen, both epiphany, so that they are not burdened by things.

Jiulong respectful, he is not confused, Mr. Ping in the introduction process is always inseparable from a "Zen" word, but also well-intentioned, however, young is a good time to start a business, there is no "spelling" word, which is from the new world?

Of course, he also got inspiration from it, playing with stones does not have to be exhaustive, playing with characteristics, playing with personality, you can also play famous and famous all over the world.

Kowloon held the hand like Master Yunguang to play with the stone, stood up, and said goodbye to Teacher Peace, and continued the scheduled itinerary with Lashi.

They traveled all the way west, and the road became smaller and smaller, and so did the pedestrians; There are fewer and fewer, starting from the city of Zhangzhou, it is actually driving in the direction of the mountains.

Lashi held the steering wheel, looked straight ahead, drove for nearly half an hour, still did not reach the destination, the mountains on both sides, kept flashing, Lashi muttered: "What the hell is this teacher Wang doing, a good big city is not open, how can it be opened to the mountains, and who will visit it then?"

Kowloon also felt that something was wrong, but this is how the navigation led the way.

Leave it alone, keep going!

The car drove to an intersection, suddenly brightened, there was a conspicuous road sign to the right, which read: Southeast Huadu Flower Expo Park, this is it!

Finally, Jiulong breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the Nokia mobile phone, and called Mr. Wang.

Teacher Wang received a call and told them to wait at the gate, and he came to pick it up.

When Kowloon was waiting for Mr. Wang, he was not idle, and looked carefully at several eye-catching billboards.

The content is to introduce the Southeast Huadu Flower Expo Park, covering an area of nearly 10,000 acres, which is large enough.

There are 12 professional museums, including the Flower Hall, the Dream Science and Technology Museum, the Modern Agriculture Exhibition Hall, the Ecological Fishery Hall, the Shade Plant Hall, the Desert Plant Hall, the Medicinal Plant Hall, the Flavor Absorbing Plant Hall, the Fujian-Taiwan Culture Exhibition Hall, the Root Art Hall, and the Yilinxuan Calligraphy and Painting Garden.

There are more than a dozen characteristic landscapes such as the Memorial Forest, the 100-acre Hibiscus Garden, the Children's Paradise, the Rose Love Theme Garden, the Precious Tree Garden, the Hundred Gardens, the Hundred Bamboo Gardens, the Hundred Fruit Gardens, the Rust Zhangzhou Garden, the Bonsai Garden, the Iron Tree Garden, the Coffee Garden, the Palm Garden, etc., which are attractive enough.

The sign specially indicates that it is a 4A-level scenic spot, and now, Kowloon understands Mr. Wang's intentions, and sets up the Strange Stone Museum here, which is called a strong alliance, a win-win situation for the tourist area and Mr. Wang, which should also be the government's hope that Mr. Wang will open a museum here, which shows that his influence is extraordinary.

Kowloon looked at it for a long time, but the card did not introduce the Strange Stone Museum, and it can be seen that it is not easy for Mr. Wang's museum to be stationed for a long time.

The two of them were watching, and Mr. Wang greeted him with a smile on his face: "It's hard work on the road, it's not easy to find here, who is this?"

Teacher Wang pointed to Lashi and asked.

"It's my classmate, his name is Lashi, he's a fan of yours, and as soon as he heard that I was coming here, he volunteered to drive over. ”

Kowloon pointed to Lashi and introduced.

"Teacher Wang, hello, I have admired my name for a long time, I am so happy to see you today, I have been thinking about you all the way, and it is not hard at all. ”

Then he shook it with both hands, Lashi's mouth was really sweet, and he was still complaining when he was driving on the road, and when he saw Mr. Wang, he changed his face.

"Welcome two friends, we are all stone friends, you're welcome, come, I'll take you in, you don't need to charge tickets." ”

Teacher Wang replied with a smile.

Kowloon thanked him and stretched out his right hand to shake it.

Teacher Wang shook hands and introduced: "The air here is quite good, you see, there is a sea of flowers everywhere!"

Yes, all the way forward, hibiscus flowers, triangular plums, and four seasons laurel are all smiling and waving to Kowloon, and Lashi follows behind, taking pictures as he walks.

Soon, we arrived at our destination.

This is a traditional brick and wood structure building, the red glazed tiles on the roof are particularly conspicuous, the horizontal plaque above the gate reads "Southeast Huadu Natural Strange Stone Museum", and the large strange stone on the right side of the door has attracted the attention of Kowloon.

"Isn't this the 'Dragon King's Dragon Palace' stone? In such a conspicuous position, Mr. Wang is clever. ”

Jiulong and Teacher Wang walked up to the stone and asked Lashi to take a picture of them in front of the Dragon King and Dragon Palace.

After taking pictures, Kowloon wanted to go to the museum, but Lashi was not happy: "Do you know how to take a photo with Teacher Wang, when I am in the air? Teacher Wang, it's okay, let me get some light." ”

Teacher Wang was amused by Lashi, and beckoned to the staff in the hall: "Come, the three of us take a picture together." ”

Seeing that Teacher Wang was so careful, Jiulong nodded and took a group photo together.

Later, Mr. Wang pushed open the glass door and introduced the two of them into the exhibition hall, and they were greeted by thousands of large and small fine Tibetan stones, each of which was quite distinctive and vivid.

When Kowloon saw these collections, there were many large ones, and they were measured in tons at every turn, ranging from a few tons to dozens of tons, and one side of the stone occupied the position of a room, which was too exaggerated.

These stones, not to mention picking them up, have to be transported back from the river, and it takes a lot of thought.

"These stones are too big, compared to these, they are the difference between ants and elephants, and they are so shocking. ”

Lashi looked at it and touched it, and couldn't put it down.

"The rain flower stones I picked up are smaller, not even a single hair. ”

Kowloon is also emotional, like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

Teacher Wang smiled "hehe" and led them to a boulder.

This square seems to be flying high boulder is particularly imposing, it seems to be the treasure of the town hall, Mr. Wang seems to be quite proud, introduced that this is called "Huaxia totem", is a dragon, and the length is nearly two meters five, he embodies a major feature of Jiulongbi, is the soul of Jiulongbi.

"What are the characteristics?" asked Kowloon curiously.

Teacher Wang touched the stone and said, "Come and touch it, what can you feel?"

Jiulong touched it with his hand, and on the bronzed skin, the texture was clear, and he was strong and comfortable: "The texture of this strange stone is good!"

"That's right, this 'Chinese totem' is a typical representative of the texture, and the rich texture is the biggest feature of Jiulongbi, Jiulong's understanding is good, promising, do you want to hear the legend of Jiulongjiang?"

"Jiulongjiang?" Isn't it the mother river that gave birth to Jiulongbi? I was named Jiulong by my father since I was a child, could it be that my father had the foresight and had long predicted that Jiulongjiang would produce treasures? Or, foreseeing that I would play Jiulongbi when I grew up? Listen to what Teacher Wang has to say.
