Lin Xiao looked down carefully, the branches and leaves were luxuriant, and he couldn't see anything, he waited for a while, grabbed the branch, and slowly slid down, sliding while watching the surroundings, until he fell to the ground, and didn't find anyone. Standing on the beach, he looked up, and the cliff above him was crisscrossed with branches, birds rising and falling, and there was no human figure. As he walked, he didn't find anything in the trees above him, but a trail of footprints stretched out on the beach at his feet.

Lin Xiao hurriedly raised his breath and chased down, but the series of footprints extended all the way to the sea and disappeared. Lin Xiao stood on the beach for a while in disappointment, looking at the rough sea, but he was unwilling, and walked a long way along the coast, never seeing the footprints again, he thought about it as he walked, but he couldn't figure it out, with a stomach full of doubts, he walked back dejectedly.

Haman and Lima were searching around where he had come down, and when they saw someone, they asked excitedly, "How is it, do you have any clues?" Lin Xiao shook his head and didn't say anything, and the two of them were silent, and walked forward after him together.

Lin Xiao remembered someone and asked Haman, "Do you think this person just now could be the one who took you to the temple last night?" Haman

I didn't see what the person looked like just now, so I had to say, "I didn't see it, but that person ran very fast last night, is this person also very fast today?" Lin Xiao struggled to catch up, but he didn't catch up all the way, he also admired this person's foot strength, and said: "I also thought of this to connect it with what happened to you last night." This man is really fast, and it's a pity not to participate in the Olympics. ”

Lima also exclaimed: "Yes, yesterday the man ran so fast, no matter how fast we ran, we couldn't catch up with him." We can't run anymore, people are still waiting for us, if I hadn't pushed me in the end, I really wanted to make friends with him. ”

The three of them chatted all the way, looking for a way back, but fortunately the cliff was not too big, only three or four kilometers away, they went around, found the way they came, and slowly walked back to their quarters.

In the early morning, many people came to the beach for a walk, they talked and laughed in a low voice, although there were many people, but there was no loud noise, the most noisy was the sound of the waves. There was a group of people gathered in front of them, and a person was in the middle, talking about something, and the people around listened attentively, and the three of them didn't care, and walked over while talking about what had just happened.

Lin Xiao inadvertently turned his head, and he saw a familiar face in the crowd: the fat monk who took him to meet Vishnu last night, he was telling people how to keep their minds calm, his words were soothing and peaceful, and those who heard him speak were like going through the baptism of the soul, silently contemplating.

Haman and Lima also stopped, following Lin Xiao's gaze towards the fat monk. At this time, the fat monk also saw them, smiled at them, and said hello. Lima asked Lin Xiao, "Do you know him?" Lin Xiao shook his head and said, "I seem to have seen him." Lima asked, "Where have you seen the fold?" Lin Xiao replied, "I can't remember." An old man next to him heard their conversation and said to them, "Don't you know Venerable Vima?"

When Haman heard this name, he suddenly became nervous, he grabbed the old man's arm and asked, "Master Vimo, is he Master Vimo?" The old man's arm was a little painful to hold, so he broke away, rubbing it with his hand, and said unhappily: "You don't even know him, it's really for nothing, he is the original presiding officer of the Padmanaba Swami Temple, Master Vimo." Haman smiled apologetically: "I heard that he is an enlightened monk, how can he look like a wine and meat monk." ”

The old man glared at him, turned around and walked away, muttering, "The karma is heavy, and people are judged by their appearance." Haman ignored his words, nor did he hear them, he was captivated by Venerable Vima's teachings:" Contemplating impermanence without being tired of the good nature, contemplating the suffering of the world without hating life and death, contemplating selflessness and teaching people tirelessly, contemplating the extinction of silence without eternal extinction, contemplating the physical and mental cultivation of goodness while staying away, contemplating the good dharma without returning, contemplating the absence of life, and bearing everything, contemplating the absence of omissions, and constantly omitting, contemplating the absence of doing nothing, and educating sentient beings with the practice of the dharma, contemplating the emptiness without giving up great compassion, contemplating the correct position of the dharma without following the Hinayana position, contemplating the vain of the dharma, without prison and without one, without the master and without the appearance, the wish is not fulfilled, and the wisdom of meditation is not vain. Cultivating this method is a bodhisattva who does not stop doing nothing. ”

One sentence at a time, the word "view" set Haman's heart, what he "viewed" was the "star of hope" in his arms, this shining blue gem, everyone wanted to get it, because they were confused by its surface beauty, and now they got it, and they carried it in their arms every day, so what? But they didn't get happiness, and they didn't have the desire to stare at it every day, what value did it have in their own place? If they look at impermanence, the gem will eventually be destroyed and become dust and air. Looking at it from afar, what does it have to do with the body at that time, and where is the self at that time? Doesn't it also become dust and air?

In this way, you and this gem will become one. I am the jewel, the gem is me, why should I have to keep it firmly in my bosom as a rare treasure?

When the knot in his heart opened, his mental state changed, and even Lin Xiao noticed the change in his complexion, and the big fat monk in the crowd walked over with a smile and gave a deep salute to Haman: "Congratulations to the layman, you can see through the treasure words, and you won't be fascinated by wealth." Haman hurriedly returned the salute: "Thank you, Master, for your guidance, I am grateful." ”

The fat monk smiled and took his hand and led the three of them to the way they came.

Back in the village, they came to the big house on the edge of the square, where Venerable Vimo preached. Haman took the box out of his bosom and handed it to Master Vimo, who took it and placed it on the floor beside him.

Venerable Vimo said, "I already know what you are here for, this gentleman has already met me, and he has a relationship with the owner of this gem. As he spoke, he pointed at Lin Xiao. Both Harman and Lima looked at Lin Xiao with envy and a little blame in their eyes. Lin Xiao explained: "I saw it in a dream, I thought it was a dream, but I told you, but you didn't believe it." ”

Vimo smiled: "When is a dream, when is it waking up?
