Text Chapter 301 Nun
This time, Lin Yuming couldn't help but exclaim, such tea is probably not available on the market at all, "Good tea, good tea!"
A pool of emerald green in the cup hung a few young leaves, fluttering, cruising in the cup, not only fragrant, but also a wonderful artistic conception, Lin Yuming took another sip, only to feel a sweet and cool breath straight into the stomach, there is an indescribable comfort.
Lin Yuming was amazed, put down the teacup and said, "Master, we specifically want to meet Master Jin Yun today, can you inform us!"
"Donor, it's really unfortunate today, the teacher is too uncomfortable! Let's come back another day!"
"Master, we have a long way to go, so let's meet each other, okay!"
"It's really inconvenient today, hey, let me say it bluntly, today Shitai went to the township government to ask for funding to repair the nunnery, and was ridiculed by the leaders of the township, and was sulking, so, no matter what you ask, I'm afraid it's difficult today!"
"And for this matter, what do you want to allocate funds for!" Lin Yuming asked a little curiously.
"Hey, last year, it rained heavily in the mountains, and a meditation room in the backyard was washed away, which was the place where several generations of nunnery owners cultivated, and the master was very affectionate there, but after half a year, the township government didn't give a penny!"
"That's it, that's really embarrassing, but please let me know, it's really not easy for us to come here!"
"Donor, I really can't do anything, Mrs. Shi has spoken, and I won't see you today!"
As he was talking, a gust of wind blew and lifted a curtain on the door, Lin Yuming saw at a glance that in a nunnery outside, an old nun was sitting on a futon, and there was a wooden fish in front of him, a wooden mallet, the wooden fish was about five inches in diameter, the old nun put her hands together, her demeanor was pious, and she had words, and the surrounding of this old nun was fragrant, and the Buddha sound was ethereal, at this time, a soothing Buddha sound chant came from behind the hall, which seemed to have a strong penetrating power.
Accompanied by a dull sound of wooden fish beating, it seems that the morning bell and dusk drum are shocking.
Lin Yuming only vaguely heard some fragmentary words, what to quit foolishness, quit greed, quit hatred, quit delusion, my Buddha is compassionate, Pudu sentient beings, the voice is also very old, and it is ethereal, like illusion and reality.
Lin Yuming's heart was fluttering, and a kind of respect arose spontaneously, this is probably Master Jin Yun, it seems that this Master is indeed a figure who is proficient in Buddhism.
Lin Yuming was silent for a moment, then turned back to Xu Shaowen and said, "Let's go, let's go and worship incense!"
The so-called incense is mainly to express piety and respect, indicating that the true incense of the Buddha's precepts is ignited, and when the incense is offered to the Buddha, I should be pure and spotless, so that I can obtain the boundless blessings, if I want to make a wish, I can't make some messy wishes, I should make those who give up selfishness, harm others and benefit themselves.
Usually incense to three incense is appropriate, which means "precepts, concentration, wisdom" three no leakage learning; also means to support the Buddha, Dharma, monks to live in the three treasures, incense is not much, the value is sincere, the so-called "burn three branches of civilization incense, respect a sincere heart".
It's just that the meaning of incense is different now, just like the nun at this moment, when she heard that Lin Yuming wanted to put on incense, her face was happy, and now she will give alms after worshipping incense, today she is so polite, in addition to seeing Lin Yuming's graceful demeanor and radiant spirits, she is more like a rich person, such a person, she will never be stingy when it comes to charity.
"Thank you, donor, that poor nun will show the donor!"
"Master Lao!"
Xu Shaowen and Lin Yuming followed this nun to a hall next to it, where Shakyamuni Buddha, Medicine Buddha, Amitabha Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, and Guanyin are enshrined, etc., Lin Yuming is dressed in a whole clothes, solemnly kneeling on the futon, carefully lighting the incense, holding the incense stick between the middle finger and index finger of both hands, and the thumb against the tail of the incense, placing the chest, the incense head is flat to the Bodhisattva statue, and then raising the incense eyebrows, and then, inserting it into the incense burner with his left hand.
Xu Shaowen didn't understand these cumbersome procedures, but seeing Lin Yuming's seriousness, he didn't dare to be sloppy, so he respectfully learned from Lin Yuming's appearance and did it again.
After three incense injections and standing up, Lin Yuming said lightly to Xu Shaowen: "Give 10,000 yuan for incense!"
"Ten thousand?"
Xu Shaowen was stunned, thinking that he had misheard, such a remote nunnery, only dozens or a hundred were sent away, how could Lin Yuming say that it was 10,000 yuan, which was a bit too unexpected.
"Well, ten thousand!" Lin Yuming said word by word without changing his face.
Xu Shaowen could be regarded as hearing it clearly this time, hesitated, gritted his teeth, took out 10,000 yuan from his pocket, and stuffed it into the merit box.
Lin Yuming glanced at the young nun who had just taken them to tea, and his face changed slightly, revealing a bright light.
"The donor is really a person who is honest and respects the Buddha, hurry up and invite you to sit inside. ”
"Master, please!" Lin Yuming respectfully stepped aside and asked the young nun to lead the way.
When Lin Yuming returned to the tea room, the nun went out for a while, and soon, five or six nuns of different ages came in, this time, the small tea room was lively, it seemed a little crowded, these nuns who had just come in, some of them served fruit, and some of them made tea, and an old nun who looked not too old said that she wanted to prepare a meal, and asked Lin Yuming what their taste was, whether they liked it lighter or a little heavier.
Lin Yuming hurriedly said: "No, no, thank you, master, I'm not hungry now." ”
"Oh, donor, you're so polite!"
"Thank you, masters, I originally wanted to meet Master Jin Yun, maybe I can donate a little more, since I can't see Master Tai, we won't disturb the masters' Qing cultivation!" Lin Yuming stood up and made a gesture of leaving.
"Amitabha, if the donor sits for a while, I'll go and report to the teacher. This older old nun made a decision that made Lin Yuming secretly happy.
"Well, okay, I'm waiting, there's Master Lao!"
"Good, good, Amitabha!"
The old nun turned around and walked out of the tea room.
After a while, the old nun came back with a happy face and said, "Master Jin Yun invites the two donors to sit in the meditation room!"
"Thank you, thank you!"
The two followed the old nun, opened the curtain, and arrived at the meditation room that Lin Yuming saw, an old nun with a face full of vicissitudes was sitting alone on the futon, it was the nun that Lin Yuming saw, no need to ask, this must be Mrs. Jin Yun.
Shi Tai is thin, with two long eyebrows hanging slightly, and her sparse hair is pulled into a bun at the back of her head, but it seems that her body is still straight and her eyes are still sharp.
She snorted slightly to Lin Yuming, who walked to her: "Donor, please take a seat!"
"Hello Shitai, I'm sorry for today!"
"There, there, sin, sin, poor nuns have been slow to treat the two benefactors!"
For a while, Lin Yuming had nothing to say, in the face of such a solemn old nun, the bells, drums, cymbals and cymbals that he heard in his ears were jagged, and the melodious Sanskrit singing sounded, he hesitated, and looked at a few damaged scriptures on the Zen table without words, and asked Master Jin Yun: "Oh, these scriptures are destroyed, it's a pity, it's a pity!"
Master Jin Yun said solemnly: "There are living things, there are life and there are destruction, tangible things, there are achievements and bad, there is no pity." ”
"Hehe, too!" Lin Yuming echoed.
Master Jin Yun glanced at Lin Yuming and said, "Is the donor here to make a wish, or to look at your appearance, but I see that the donor, you are graceful and rich, embracing Buddha clouds, your eyes are wise, and you must be a blessed person, so you don't need to look at it, right?"
"Well, I don't look at it, and I don't make a wish!"
"Amitabha, I don't understand that old nun!"
"Mrs. Shi, I came this time to ask for something!"
"Donor, please!"
Lin Yuming smiled: "There will be a few guests here tomorrow, I want to ask Mrs. Shi to help save my life!"
"But the old nun still doesn't know, may I ask, what does the donor mean ......?"
"I want to ask Mrs. Shi to help me show one of them more troubles that he may have!"
Master Jin Yun's eyes flashed, revealing a cold light: "Amitabha! Donor, this is the place of pure cultivation, I'm afraid I can't do anything about the donor's request!"
"Donor, I am his family, and I am afraid that he will be bewitched by evil people and make mistakes, so I implore Mrs. Shi to save us, in the words of Buddhism, it is to do good and compassionate, and the blessings are endless. ”
"It's your family tomorrow!"
"Yes, I'm really afraid that he will make mistakes, and I hope he will stay away from villains, Shitai, the fundamental theory of Buddhism is also a spirit of saving people from fire and water, and saving suffering. Take Shakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, for example, he also saw that the people in the world were suffering from illness and poverty, so he decided to abandon his glory and wealth to devote himself to the cause of Buddhism, and sacrifice his life for righteousness. What do you think, Mrs. Master? ”
Master Jin Yun didn't expect Lin Yuming to have a deep study of Buddhism, his words talk about Buddhism and Zen, profound and broad, for a while, Master Jin Yun was still difficult to find a suitable reason, so he had to fold his hands and say: "Sin!"
Lin Yuming thought for a while, and then said: "If Mrs. Shi saves my family this time, I will definitely make 50,000 yuan of incense another day to make a small contribution to the repair of the nunnery!"
"Fifty thousand!"
Shi Tai's eyes widened, for the 50,000 yuan of repair money, she ran from last year to this year, and the township government insisted on not giving a penny, but this donor can give himself 50,000 yuan at once, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
No matter how strong others think of Master Jin Yun's mana, Lin Yuming always thinks that she is still a person, not a god, since she urgently needs a sum of money, why not push the boat down the river and fulfill her wish?
"Donor, you are embarrassed by the old nun!"
"Mrs. Shi, saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, I really save people, let me say it bluntly, there is a person who wants to use very despicable means to make my family commit crimes with him, it is the kind of thing that harms people, you say, can I watch it alone? Only by staying away from such villains can I keep my family quiet! Mrs. Shi helping me is also a merit!"
