Chapter 281: Cuipingan
Heart disease needs heart medicine, and Master Hui Xin further explained: "I think many people recite the "Great Compassion Mantra", which may be a kind of spiritual support that they need when they are desperate. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf the spirit does not fall, this ordinary small injury and small pain will indeed heal without medicine after reciting the "Great Compassion Mantra". ”
"Such a big wound and illness still need a doctor to heal it, and some of the senior monks in the big temples, they are not only proficient in Buddhism, but also in medicine. In many times, such as the epidemic of plague and the war years, a large number of people went to the temple to seek medical treatment, and these monks were in a two-pronged approach, Buddhism and medicine, to save civilians from pain, fire, water, and epidemic. ”
Then the master admonished: "The Buddha told us not to be too stupid in everything, and this sutra cannot be understood literally, the key is to take its essence." I think that your doubts in the past few days are slowly moving closer to the depth of Buddhism. ”
Under the teachings of Master Huixin, Pan Jinlian also gradually fell in love with the study of Buddhism. She couldn't help but feel sorry for her three years in Zhangfu's stand-in, if there was a Gaoni like Huixin Shitai to lecture on the scriptures for her in those three years, she could know how much of the true meaning of life from learning the "Buddhist scriptures", she would also relieve how many troubles in life, maybe she would do less wrong things, and she would definitely not go to Ximenqing Wangpo, but unfortunately all this is gone.
This is the fate of the Buddha, it will only come when the time comes, and you can't ask for it. Fate comes and goes, fate ends and fate is scattered, this is also what the Buddha said. If there is really a day when fate is gone, Pan Jinlian does not have to be sad.
After a simple breakfast in the morning, Mrs. Huixin said to Pan Jinlian: "Donor, I see that your heart has been decided, and I should also go back to the nunnery." Now when you recite the Great Compassion Mantra at home, you can think about the Buddha's teachings, and if you are interested, you can go to the nunnery to find me, and we can study other Buddhist scriptures. ”
In the past few days, Mrs. Huixin has been preaching on time every day, so that Jin Lian has developed a habit of involuntarily thinking about the "Great Compassion Mantra", and then listening to Mrs. Huixin's explanation, this habit has gradually made her forget her sorrows and troubles. Mrs. Shi said that she was going to leave, Pan Jinlian couldn't help but panic, and suddenly felt that she had lost her support.
Seeing Pan Jinlian like this, Mrs. Shi comforted her and said, "Donor, it seems that I have a Buddha relationship with you, so I'll go back."
Jin Lian was about to ask Mrs. Wang to help her hire a car to send Mrs. Huixin back to the nunnery, but Mrs. Huixin said, "Don't worry, don't worry, it has already been arranged when I come, and the car that sent me that day after breakfast today will definitely come to pick me up and send me back to the nunnery." As long as the donor always adheres to the principles advocated by Guanyin Bodhisattva, such as a pure mind, an equanimistic heart, a compassionate heart, and a respectful heart, and recites the "Great Compassion Mantra" every morning, noon and evening, he will naturally gain 15 kinds of good lives and not be subject to 15 kinds of evil deaths. ”
Sure enough, as soon as Mrs. Shi finished speaking, as if God helped, she saw the boxcar that sent Mrs. Huixin to the door that day, which was also the car hired by Brother Yun. Mrs. Hui Xin took the bamboo box that she had with her, got into the boxcar, waved her hand, and the carriage left, disappearing at the end of the road in an instant. Pan Jinlian really doesn't know what day Master Huixin promised to accompany her again?
"If Ximenqing comes back, won't I be bothered by Shitai, so I'll go to Cuiping Nunnery by myself. ”
On the one hand, Pan Jinlian visited Shitai, and on the other hand, she also wanted to see if Shitai's place was a place where she could be accommodated. If she was lucky enough to escape this time and leave her alive, then Jinlian begged Shitai to take her in and let her cut her hair and become a nun. The family's property, including the things to marry, is all sold, which is enough for a few years' expenses, and after a few years, find a way, Jin Lian has hands and feet, and is not lazy, and she can always find a way to support herself.
Brother Yun picked up Shitai, he must be able to find Cuiping Nunnery, Pan Jinlian discussed with Brother Yun, and went to the nunnery in the next two days to take a look and then make plans. Jin Lian's heart hanging in the air was only implemented at this time, and she would sleep more soundly at night.
I haven't seen Ximenqing send someone to harass him in the past two days, and Pan Jinlian thought to herself that he really went out to do something. Wang Po came over at dinner a few days before Master Huixin came, and she hasn't come back until now.
The princess probably thought to herself: "Pan Jinlian, a woman from a Taoist family, her husband is dead, her uncle and uncle are not there, and she has no backbone, what can she do? ”
"There's no need to guard it, besides, Ximenqing cares about this Pan Jinlian very much, and when the matter is over, he will definitely take him back as a concubine. People, it's better to die than to live, only crazy people are willing to give up the opportunity to enjoy glory and wealth, offending Pan Jinlian is also offending Ximenqing, why bother to be a wicked person?"
With no one to monitor and supervise her, Pan Jinlian once again asked Brother Yun for help. This little brother is very righteous, without saying a word, he still hired a few hired boxcars, and set off with Jin Lian early in the morning, hurried and hurried, and arrived at noon.
Unexpectedly, Huixin Shitai's Cuiping Nunnery is on a hill not far from the grave of Jin Lianniang, and a stream separates Cuiping Nunnery and Niang's grave on both sides.
The boxcar was parked in a farmer's livestock shed at the bottom of the mountain, and Brother Yun took Jin Lian up the stone ridge built along the mountain. Although this mountain is not very high, it costs a lot of money to build these stone ridges to the top of the mountain. Master Huixin is too a monk, repairing the nunnery, building stones, this costs a lot of money, the poor people can't even eat, where is the spare money to repair the nunnery?
Thinking of this, Jin Lian's heart was filled with a little bitterness, Buddhism emphasizes the equality of all beings, in fact, where does equality come from? If Mrs. Huixin's in-laws can't afford to pay this money, then how can Mrs. Huixin have a place to settle down and devote herself to studying Buddhism in such a beautiful place? A person like Pan Jinlian, or a person who has no way out than her, can have such conditions even if he has a thousand hearts and intentions to devout himself to the Buddha?
Although it is early spring, but not as cold as winter, the morning haze, like a light veil of mist, because there is no strong sunlight, they refuse to disperse, Pan Jinlian and Brother Yun while climbing the stone ridge, while thinking about things, looking at the surrounding scenery, can't help but think of two sentences in the Tang poem: "Looking at the stone path of the cold mountain from afar, there are people in Baiyunsheng." ”
The temple is in the mist, and the stone path extends to the top of the mountain surrounded by verdant pines and cypresses. When repairing the nunnery, there must be a cave, the monk does not have to pursue luxury, so there is no planting of any strange flowers and plants, but the pines and cypresses are green and evergreen all year round, in the minds of ordinary people, and represent a kind of heroic righteousness, so this small nunnery gives people an unusual feeling.
Gradually approaching the nunnery, its building materials are not vulgar, it is not like the general temple with blue tiles and red brick walls, and the door of the mountain gate is thick and heavy. It is a small courtyard, the small mountain gate is red painted, although the courtyard wall around it is the mountain stone of local materials, but it is carved neatly, the stack of mountain stones is used to make glutinous rice porridge between the masonry materials, this wall is like a cast into one, particularly strong.
The nunnery inside is made of blue brick expression tiles, and the wooden beams and columns of the nunnery are not gilded or carved, which looks simple and solemn. The hall of the nunnery is not big, the eaves of the four corners of the hall are cocked, there are copper wind chimes hung, a gust of wind blows the copper wind chimes can make a pleasant sound, in short, this nunnery is exquisite and chic, the taste is extraordinary, but it is like the character of the wise master.
Jin Lian knocked on the copper ring on the mountain gate, a young nun was about twenty years old, just like Master Huixin, a moon-white monk's robe, she had a delicate face and an amiable attitude. Without waiting for Jin Lian to speak, she asked, "May I ask if the donor's surname is Pan?"
Pan Jinlian was slightly surprised: "How do you know?"
The little nun said, "Master said that if there is a beautiful woman who comes wearing filial piety clothes, her surname is Pan, she is the teacher's confidant, and she can be brought directly to the master's meditation room." ”
Brother Yun said, "Sister Jinlian, you go in with this master, I'm waiting for you at the bottom of the mountain." ”
When Brother Yun went down the mountain, Pan Jinlian followed the little master into the small courtyard of the nunnery, this little nun was about the same age as her, but her speech and demeanor seemed neat and capable. From the small courtyard through the middle hall is the back room, and in the hall is the Guanyin Bodhisattva, which is a clay sculpture with gold paste. Guanyin Bodhisattva stands on top of the lotus flower, holding a net bottle in his left hand and a willow branch in his right hand, with a kind face. The clothes on the body are fluttering, which looks extremely expressive, and the size of Guanyin Bodhisattva is slightly higher than that of a real person.
According to Mrs. Huixin, she has been a monk for 30 years, and this gold-pasted clay statue is well protected. So the statue is shining gold, the surrounding walls are also cleaner than other temples, not like the appearance of a smoky fire, there is a copper incense burner in front of the statue, the incense candles burned on the gold face are all high-quality incense candles, especially the incense burned, Jin Lian knew that it was a high-quality sandalwood incense when she smelled it, and Miss turned out to be the kind of incense that she loved to burn.
From the environment of the nunnery to the incense burned, this nunnery exudes a high-grade elegance everywhere. Jin Lian felt: "It is a pleasure to study Buddhism in such a place. ”
Under the leadership of the nun, Jin Lian walked and watched, and after a while, she arrived at the meditation room where Master Huixin was alone. There are a few shelves of scriptures and books in Shitai's room, and there seem to be poetry collections of various poetry plates. A wooden collapse, on top of which is a thin cotton mattress, on top of which is a cotton quilt that is not thick, and the quilt surface and quilt are the moon-white of monk's robes. The mattress sheet is also moon white, and the whole room feels simple and spotless.
Master Huixin didn't feel strange at all when she saw her apprentice bring Jin Lian in, it was early spring in March, and it was in my heart, the weather was still very cold, and Mrs. Huixin's room was also burning with a pot of charcoal. Mrs. Shi asked the apprentice and said, "Yuan Jing, pour the brewed tea for the donor, you go out to do your homework, and I will call you if there is something." ”
