Chapter 689: Behemoth

After real contact, Chen Zhengqian found that there were more scriptures in Puji Temple than he imagined. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

A whole scripture pavilion, in addition to some rare cultivation cheats, as well as the master's notes, other Buddhist scripture manuscripts, also spread throughout the entire scripture pavilion, which is breathtaking.

Chen Zhengqian felt that one day might not be enough for him to see, so he told the great monk Shiyin that he hoped to stay here for two more days.

Monk Shiyin naturally had no reason to disapprove, and also arranged for someone to prepare a guest room and three meals a day for Chen Zhengqian, so that he could rest in the temple at night.

Chen Zhengqian naturally has no reason not to be allowed, it is much better to have a place to live than to sleep in the open, and the food in the temple tastes good.

In this way, Chen Zhengqian settled down in Puji Temple.

Many people think that Buddhism is more like a philosophy, but in fact, there is a big difference between the two.

As for the difference, after Chen Zhengqian thoroughly understands these Buddhist scriptures, there may be an answer.

Now, he only has some vague concepts in his mind, and his understanding of Buddhism can only be described as half-understood and hearsay.

After the cloth monk learned that Chen Zhengqian was staying in Puji Temple, he looked for it curiously, and watched with a smile as Chen Zhengqian sat under the bookshelf, flipping through the Buddhist scriptures.

For some reason, seeing Chen Zhengqian's appearance, Monk Buyi felt that the person in front of him was more real than before.

Chen Zhengqian sensed his arrival, looked up and smiled, and then ignored it.

The monk didn't care about him, and took a copy of the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra to read.

The two of them were very tacit, and no one bothered anyone.

……

Under the Bodhi tree in the evening, three cups of tea.

The cloth monk said that Chen Zhengqian has a relationship with the Buddha and has a wisdom root.

In this regard, Chen Zhengqian just smiled and did not speak.

Huigen or something, it's just too mysterious, and he is against Buddhism

He was afraid that the next sentence of the cloth monk would let him convert to Buddhism or something.

It is not his original wish to eat fasting and recite the Buddha, abstain from alcohol and sex, and he can't do this kind of life as a monk, so he should be honest and be his own ordinary man.

For him, the Dharma is more like a tool, a weapon in his own hands, and that's enough.

Of course, this does not affect Chen Zhengqian, the cloth cloth monk, and the Buddha Yin and others to sit and talk about the Buddha.

Looking at a fallen leaf falling in the air, Chen Zhengqian was thoughtful.

He admitted that he was somewhat influenced by the ideas in the Buddhist scriptures, but fortunately, there were not many, and most of them were good.

For example, Chen Zhengqian asked the question, "What is a Buddha?"

It seems simple, but everyone will have a different answer in their hearts.

If one clings to a literal interpretation, then it is natural to explain that the Buddha is a saint, a person with three enlightenments, a person with great wisdom, a thorough understanding of affairs, a transcendent person from birth and death, and a person who attains all great perfections.

The cloth-clothed monk smiled, and his explanation was: "The Buddha is in the heart, and all living beings can become Buddhas." ”

That's all there is to it.

Chen Zhengqian realized.

Human beings have desires, this is human nature, and it is really these worldly desires that drive us to keep moving forward, to seek wealth, beauty, love, and so on.

The Buddha represents the good side of all things, which is what we have been seeking.

That's why the Buddha is in the heart.

The Buddha had already seen through all this, and he was able to attain enlightenment without worry.

However, the reason why ordinary people are laity is because they cannot get rid of these desires, and they are troubled by these desires, and even put on shackles.

If you can completely give up your worldly desires, then you will naturally become a Buddha.

That's why he said, "All beings can become Buddhas."

A high monk once said: There are only two kinds of people who can reach the Pure Land, one is blessed with wonder, and the other is selfless and desireless.

Those who have good fortune have a smooth path in life, and they do not need to think about all kinds of things, and they will naturally be able to attain the Buddhahood, such as Shakyamuni.

And those who are selfless and desireless are also born saints, and must be nameless, because they have no desires and no desires.

Therefore, the Buddha crosses the man, the man crosses himself, the Buddha is the man, and the man is also the Buddha!

Monk Foyin sighed: "If General Chen is in the Buddha Gate, then he will definitely become a great wisdom Venerable in the new era." ”

In Buddhism, His Holiness refers to a person who has great wisdom and noble character, which is already a very high achievement.

Chen Zhengqian waved his hand, smiled and did not speak.

Buddhahood was never what he was after.

……

In the past few days in Puji Temple, Chen Zhengqian seems to be living an isolated life.

Every day, I was either in the Scripture Pavilion or on the way to the Scripture Pavilion, as if I had returned to the days when I was preparing for the final exams at school, and I ran to the library all day long.

Except for a few people such as Shi Yin, the people of Puji Temple did not even notice that there was such an extra person in the temple. Many disciples just do their own thing.

This is also exactly in line with Chen Zhengqian's intentions, the less people know, the better.

It took two and a half days to finally finish reading all the books he was interested in in the Scripture Pavilion, and as for how much he could digest, Chen Zhengqian was not sure.

Take your time, you're not in a hurry anyway.

Many people have different interpretations of Buddhism, and it is a very difficult thing to understand these thoughts thoroughly, and there is no way to be in a hurry.

In the evening, Chen Zhengqian was ready to leave and did not plan to stay overnight.

Just thinking that he hadn't visited the entire Puji Temple that day, Chen Zhengqian had a whim and started to wander around again.

The lounging here is naturally the backyard part.

The front yard is all for tourists, so it's not interesting. There are a lot of interesting places in the backyard.

For example, the big stone, which is engraved with more than 300 large and small "Buddha" characters, should have been drawn by those monks with their fingers.

Those who can leave marks on it with their fingers can imagine what kind of masters they are.

Of course, Chen Zhengqian can do it, but he is not a Buddhist, and it is naturally difficult to do this kind of thing without permission, otherwise what is the difference between writing a "visit here" in a scenic spot?

In addition, there is a 10-meter-wide pond on the back mountain, the pond water is clear, it is estimated that a lot of water in the temple is taken from here, just look inside, and there is a feeling of bottomlessness.

To Chen Zhengqian's surprise, he seemed to feel something unusual.

If I'm not mistaken, this should be a spiritual spring.

The so-called spiritual spring is located near the spiritual veins of the earth, and the pool water contains a trace of spiritual energy that seeps out from under the spiritual veins, thus forming a spiritual spring.

This Puji Temple is really blessed, such a spiritual spring, used to make tea, it is definitely the best spring water.

Long-term consumption of this spiritual spring, the human body constitution will also slowly change, and it is no wonder that Puji Temple can become a Buddhist bull ear.

However, just as Chen Zhengqian withdrew his gaze and was about to leave, the spring water suddenly tumbled, as if something was emerging from below.

Chen Zhengqian's eyes froze, and he noticed an unusual aura, and immediately became vigilant.

With a "bang", the spring overflowed, and a huge figure emerged from under the water.

Chen Zhengqian stared blankly at the monster that appeared in front of him, a body the size of a small mountain, almost filling this spiritual spring, dark wrinkled skin, huge head, and heavy turtle shell on the back.

It's a giant tortoise!

The giant tortoise came up from under the spiritual spring, part of its body surfaced, tilted its head, and looked at Chen Zhengqian with its eyes.

Damn, this guy is already a sperm, right?

Chen Zhengqian was directly stunned.

With such a big size, even the "turtle prime minister" at home doesn't have it.

As the saying goes, the thousand-year-old king is eighty-thousand-year-old tortoise, and this giant tortoise may be hundreds or thousands of years old, right?

Wait, can't you become a good person after the founding of the country?!
