Chapter 120 Fu Xiyan (3)

Master Yifan said: "In fact, most of the troubles in life are found by yourself, and the root lies in the word 'greed'. Indifferent to fame and fortune, pure heart and few desires, removing implication, and removing obstacles are the best ways to eliminate troubles. Many good men and women often go to the temple to burn incense and kowtow in front of the Buddha, pray for blessings, longevity and children, and pray for promotion and wealth, happy marriage, and good luck. As a kind of spiritual sustenance, there is nothing to blame, but the original intention of putting three pillars of incense and kowtowing three heads in front of the Buddha is not like this. ”

Yusi said: "We often see people on the three pillars of incense and kowtow three heads in front of the Buddha, but we don't know what it means to go up to three pillars of incense and kowtow to three heads?"

Yifan said: "We put three pillars of incense and kowtow three heads in front of the Buddha, which is a kind of respectful behavior to the enlightened person, and the act of vows, which represent different meanings, it is a long story, for fear of delaying everyone's time, I don't know if you are interested in continuing to listen to it?"

Yu Nong said: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, if you come, you will be safe, anyway, we don't have anything particularly important......"

Yifan said: "The three pillars of incense are called ring incense, fixed incense, and hui incense respectively." In front of the Buddha, the first pillar of incense means to express one's determination to quit one's bad habits and delusions, the second pillar of incense in the hope that one will be able to enter meditation, and the third pillar of incense in the hope that one will attain wisdom. Precepts, concentration, and wisdom are the methods of 'breaking through confusion and enlightenment', and they are also a kind of cause and effect. Only when we give up our bad habits and delusions can we settle our minds, and only then will we be able to produce wisdom. If a person thinks all day long about getting promoted and getting rich, accumulating money and lust, beating people up, stealing chickens and dogs, and embezzling and accepting bribes, how can his heart settle down?

"Oh, then why do you have to kowtow three times?" Dong Ge also became interested and asked.

Yifan said: "Kowtow three heads, one kowtow to show respect to the Buddha, two kowtows are willing to learn from the enlightened people, willing to take refuge in Buddhism, and three kowtows are to reflect and repent of their mistakes and sins." In today's world, corruption is rampant, money is overflowing, material desires are rampant, chasing stars and chasing wealth, frivolous and noisy, and there are many hidden dangers. Only when we have awareness, compassion, tolerance, and generosity can we be able to break away from wrong, fight, 'save others and ourselves', and 'cultivate both wisdom and happiness'. All the donors are people with wisdom roots, and they are all very enlightened people...... I don't need to go into it here, you all know more than I do!"

Leave Mida Temple and walk along the ten-mile lotus pond. Friends who love photography have taken a lot of beautiful photos and gained a lot, and literature lovers have walked and chatted, laughing and laughing, but there is no work. In the face of the harvest joy of photographers, the writers did not envy, envy and hate, but actively tried to complete their works. Sunshine proposed: "With such a beautiful scenery, let's go deep into life and experience the different tastes of the Buddha world and the world, and we must all have feelings." How about we imitate Cao Zijian's practice of writing a poem in seven steps, and the participants each write a poem and finish it before eating?"

Yu Nong said: "Is it that you can't eat and drink without works?"

Sunshine said: "If you don't have a work, you can skip a meal, you can not eat a dish, but you must drink." Because Mr. Li Bai has created a record of high and stable production of 100 poems about fighting wine, revolutionary comrades who can't write poems may only be able to complete their tasks after drinking, right?"

Yu Nong said: "Then I will immediately join the photography team, I have a mobile phone with high-definition effects, to ensure that the works shot up to the level of quasi-professional photography." ”

Sunshine said: "If you are willing to take pictures, you will go to photography, and if you are willing to chant poetry, you will go with us." Do it and cherish it, time is precious, and works are rare! Those who write poetry come here, and those who take pictures go there......"

As a result, there are only four people who do not have high-definition mobile phones or who belong to people who love to write poetry - Yusi, Sunshine, Half Lotus, and Brother Ma. Because Brother Ma insisted on writing poems, Ah Le, Miao Lin, Wu Junru, Li Jia, etc. could only accompany them, but everyone unanimously requested that we only accompany you, not poetry.

Walking around the lotus pond, although it is known as the ten-mile lotus pond, it is actually not so far away. The planting area of the lotus pond accounts for less than one-tenth of the entire planned area.

The General Assembly had already stewed the firewood turkey and was waiting for Ah Le and the expedition team led by him.

The members of the photography group happily admired their works, while the comrades of the poetry creation group were depressed and meditating on their works.

Ah Le said: "Don't make noise, don't affect their creation. Let's keep a low profile and wait for everyone's poems to come out, and then we will have a good dish to accompany the wine. ”

After a while, Brother Ma led the comrades of the poetry group to come out and publish their works.

The first is Yusi, who said, "I don't write lotus, I write bodhisattva." My title is "Five Laws: Yongfulyan Thousand Years of Ancient Buddha". "Poetry:

The Bodhisattva has manifested his spirit and blessed the Quartet. The smile contains sincerity, and the flowers talk about the market.

There is no wind and rain, and there is a moon that is afraid of the tide. The stone hard knife is skillful, and it will not be eroded for thousands of years!

Yusi's recitation is passionate, "The smile contains true meaning, and the flowers talk about the market." A sentence full of reason.

The second place is Sunshine, whose work "Five Laws: Yongfuer Rock Colorful Lotus". Poetry Cloud:

Colorful auspicious clouds, flying to Erjin. Pious and more believers, elegant and less idlers.

The Buddha's will gives birth to kindness, and the heart of the flower is kindness. Viewing the lotus is at ease, the more you live, the more spiritual!

The recitation of the sunshine is very distinctive, "The Buddha's will gives birth to kindness, and the flower heart is kindness." This sentence is highly recognized by everyone.

The third place is Banzhilian, her work is "Five Laws: Yongfuer Rock Ten Miles of Lotus Pond". Poetry Cloud:

Ten miles outside the lotus pond, the breeze surrounds the trees. The fragrance of water is from the beginning, and the jade lotus rhyme is natural.

The leaves are drifting fans, and the flowers are blooming and fighting stars. Enchanting and ashamed of the beauty, clean and elegant to restore the city.

The recitation scene of the half-branch lotus is blended, and the sentence "the breeze surrounds the tree", the scene is both righteous and reasonable, and it has been highly praised and rated as the first five-character poem.

The last poet to shine on the stage is the famous leading brother Ma Da in Po City. He said: "I'm not good at recitation, Mandarin also has the taste of salt and pepper, I'm afraid that everyone won't understand, I will first perform calligraphy for everyone, write a work for everyone on the spot, and then recite, can you?"

Everyone applauded and was inspired. There are also ready-made pen and ink paper in the study room of the General Assembly, and I saw Brother Ma splashing ink and writing a beautiful line of grass works on rice paper, poems:

Seven Laws

The lotus blossoms with dim sum lamps, and the gentlemen of the lotus pond walk for ten miles.

Since ancient times, he has been industrious and heroic, and has always been greedy and less loyal.

There is no way back for being an official, and there is a future for the people.

The most beautiful thing in life is to clear the name!

Brother Ma wrote the book in the summer of Ding You
