Chapter 69: Ask the Buddha
"Political Commissar Liu, I think Yang Fan's current physical condition is no longer suitable for the work of the first prison district, so I will assign Yang Fan to change the prison area." Officer Jiang said to Political Commissar Liu.
"What's suitable or not, I came here to reform, if we are all like Yang Fan, then everyone will come to be a prisoner." Political Commissar Liu stiffened his face.
"My opinion has been reported to you, whether to approve or not is your business, anyway, I won't let Yang Fan do all that tiring work anymore. Officer Jiang was also annoyed, he stood up, opened the door and walked out.
"What an attitude. It's no wonder that he is just a little policeman at his age, and he doesn't understand anything at all. Political Commissar Liu slapped the table angrily.
"Political commissar, what kind of anger is there with him, but it's a good thing to transfer Yang Fan to another prison area. The henchman next to him said.
"How can this be a good thing?" political commissar Liu did not understand.
"What do you think, after the old camel and they left, the prisoners in the prison have no one from us, and now it is difficult to ask for money or anything, the second and third prison districts are better, and after our acquiescence, some discerning prisoners have begun to take action and begin to consciously manage others. The henchman said with a smile.
"But because of Yang Fan in the first prison area, other prisoners who want to be motivated don't dare to act, they are afraid of committing public anger, so they are still the same as before, political commissar, you think, no one comes to honor us, so there are a lot less." The henchman told the truth in one word.
"Yes, there really hasn't been any income in the past two months?" Political Commissar Liu sighed.
"Instead of this, it is better to transfer a paralyzed Yang Fan to the second prison area, anyway, the second prison area already has a climate, and after Yang Fan is gone, the first prison district can also set up a prisoner self-management organization. The henchman said with a smile.
"Okay, that's a good idea. Political Commissar Liu smiled and patted the shoulder of this henchman, compared to fame and fortune, it is more affordable to come with real money.
Not long after Officer Jiang returned, he received a notice that Political Commissar Liu agreed to Yang Fan's transfer to the prison area.
Officer Jiang didn't know what happened to make Political Commissar Liu change his mind, but it was a good thing for Yang Fan to be transferred to the prison area anyway.
So, Officer Jiang happily told Yang Fan the news.
"What does the Second Prison District do?" Although Yang Fan knew about the Second Prison District, he never knew what the Second Prison District did.
"Yang Fan, although the second prison area also needs to work, but it is to make some handicrafts, and you don't need to make any effort. Officer Jiang said.
"Thank you," Yang Fan didn't know how to thank Officer Jiang, he knew that there were always some kind people in this world.
"No need, it's my duty to educate you, my ability is limited, I can only do this, besides, I hope you can transform it well, or burn, be careful of my over-the-shoulder falls." Officer Jiang said with a smile.
"I'll pay attention, but your over-the-shoulder falls are really good. Yang Fan said with a smile.
"Really?" Hearing Yang Fan say the same, Officer Jiang confidently believed in his own ability.
The next day, Yang Fan was transferred to the second prison area, and when he left, Yang Fan told Zhao Yi to take good care of Liu Ye.
Zhao Yi slapped his chest as a deserved sound, and agreed in one bite.
The Lingnan No. 1 Prison is divided into three prison districts, and the No. 2 Prison District is relatively light and leisurely because it produces some handicrafts here.
There is a small cold mountain not far from the first prison in Lingnan, the scenery of the small cold mountain is charming, the four seasons in the mountain are like spring, often attract people to forget to return, this is nothing, there is a temple on the small cold mountain, called the sea temple, it is the Guanyin Bodhisattva dojo, according to the inscription, the temple was founded in the early period of the Northern Wei Dynasty, according to legend, the sea temple is drifting here with the sea, everyone says that the Guanyin Bodhisattva fell in love with the pleasant scenery here, so it was chosen here to do the dojo.
The incense of the Great Sea Temple is very prosperous, many pilgrims come to visit, according to everyone, all those who worship the Buddha here in good faith can realize their wishes.
Master Kong is the capital supervisor of the Dahai Temple on Xiaohan Mountain, he is already more than eighty years old, originally Master Kong is a Taoist monk of the word generation, and was designated as the successor by the previous generation of abbots, but Master Likong does not like human affairs, so the previous generation of abbots is located in his senior brother Lifan.
Although Master Lifan became the abbot as he wished, he always thought that his position was not justified, and he had always been wary of Master Kong.
In order to avoid suspicion, Master Likong took the initiative to stay away from Dahai Temple, and came to the second prison area of the first prison in Lingnan every day to watch the prisoners produce the handicrafts in the temple on the mountain.
Although the four major families are empty, but with the development of the economy and society, the economy has been integrated into every corner of society, there are many monks in the Great Sea Temple, everyone must have money to eat and drink, if only the donations of pilgrims, it is far from enough, so the Great Sea Temple in Lingnan a prison customized a lot of Buddhist beads, wooden fish and other handicrafts, and then sold to pilgrims after the light, the middle profit is huge, so it can maintain the operation of the Great Sea Temple.
Holding the beads in his left hand and his right hand behind his back, he watched from a group of working prisoners, who usually went to the next room to meditate and chant after a circle.
Suddenly, Master Sora noticed a young man with his legs crossed on the stool, staring straight at him with his eyes, and there was an expression of expectation in his eyes, but the young man seemed to be worried, so he didn't speak.
This young man is very unfamiliar, Master Likong has never seen it before, and Master Likong knows that this is a new prisoner here, "I was a little unaccustomed to it when I first arrived in prison, but who made you break the law." ”
Thinking of this, Master Akara recited the phrase "Amitabha", and then turned around and left.
For more than ten days in a row, every time Master Empty came here to check, he would see this young man stop what he was doing and look at him with his eyes.
So Master Empty also became curious.
Finally, after the arrival of Master Kong, the young man could no longer hold back his inner mood and shouted loudly: "Master, is it useful for you to become a monk and recite Buddha?"
"Donor, what do you mean by useful and useless?" said Master Kong, smiling slightly.
"Yang Fan, if you don't work, what kind of mess are you making here. A stout man walked over, directly shook the whip in his hand, and hit Yang Fan.
Master Likong frowned, he knew that this was the prison in order to manage the prisoners, so he selected the managers among the prisoners and let them take care of themselves, but he still couldn't look at these villains who were acting for the tiger.
Master Likong stretched out his hand, and just wanted to help, he saw the young man named Yang Fan bend the middle finger of his right hand, and then flick it outward, just on the whip head of the whip that came, the whip head was like a snake, and it retracted its head directly, almost hitting the head of the stout man Chu Chengzhou.
"Ma's, this is the second prison area, not a place for you Yang Fan to go wild. Chu Chengzhou scolded loudly.
"I've always been wild, it's uncomfortable not to be wild for a day, there are not a hundred big brothers who died in my hands, there are dozens of people, do you want to try. Yang Fan glared at him, and two cold rays of light shot over.
Chu Chengzhou listened to Yang Fan's words, remembered his previous rumors, and was so frightened that he not only took two steps back.
However, he didn't want to lose face in front of the other prisoners, so he had to puff up his chest again, "Yang Fan, this is to manage you on behalf of the prison." ”
"On behalf of the prison, does the prison let you beat people casually. Yang Fan retorted.
"It's kind of interesting, I'm still a master. "The curiosity of the Master of the Sky has risen. He waved his hand and stopped Chu Chengzhou. "You go first, I'll have a few words with him. ”
Master Empty is a representative of the temple client, and Master Empty is also in contact with high-ranking officials in some provinces and cities, and they often find Master Empty to tell fortunes, so Chu Chengzhou didn't dare to let go, so he said in a proper manner: "Okay, Master, please." ”
Master Likong walked up to Yang Fan without hurrying, and said with a smile: "This donor, what should you mean by being useful and useless?"
"Master," Yang Fan folded his hands together and saluted Master Kong, "I'm talking about whether chanting Buddha can remove the guilt in my heart." ”
"Huh?" Master Kong was slightly surprised, he didn't expect a prisoner to ask how to eliminate guilt. "Single-mindedly devoting oneself to the Buddha can certainly remove people's obstacles. ”
"Master, can you teach me the Dharma, I feel like I'm living in sin every day. Yang Fan sincerely sought advice from Master Kong.
"Learning the Dharma, of course, is a good thing, my Buddha is compassionate, universal sentient beings, although you are a criminal, but you are dedicated to the Buddha, good and good. Master Likong paused, then took out a copy of the "Dizang Sutra" from his bosom and handed it to Yang Fan.
This is the "Jizo Sutra", which records the process of birth, aging, sickness, and death of all living beings, and how to change their fate, and the cause and effect sutra that can transcend the resentful creditors of past lives and liberate them. Human life and death have been reincarnated since the beginningless eon, and the accumulation of good fortune and the accumulation of merit power in cultivation are irreplaceable by others. Therefore, reading the scriptures can help us understand how to deal with karmic problems, and how to cultivate blessings and wisdom for the benefit of sentient beings, which is very beneficial to you. Master Likong explained the content of the "Dizang Sutra" to Yang Fan.
Yang Fan heard about Xiao Xing's matter, coupled with Lao Chunqiu's death, which hit him very hard, he often fell into self-guilt, he often thought like this, if it wasn't for himself, then Miyamoto Hashiichi would not have found Lao Chunqiu's hiding place, Lao Chunqiu would not have died, if it wasn't for himself, Xiao Xing would not have been knocked out by himself and became a vegetative person, the root of this qiē lies in himself.
Therefore, Yang Fan has been unable to sleep since Lao Chunqiu died, especially after knowing the news of Xiao Xing, he has been unable to sleep all night, even if he occasionally falls asleep, he spends it in nightmares, and he will be scared awake every time.
Yang Fan felt that he was about to be tortured and crazy now, so after he saw Master Kong, he had the idea of asking Master Kong for help, but Yang Fan himself was an introvert, so he hesitated for many days before asking.
