Chapter 141: The Three Bodies of the Buddha
There was snow on the ground, and everyone could barely find the path down the mountain, and the snow trek was very hard. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhang Zhong and the others brought dry food, and when they rested, they took it out and distributed it with the fat man and the south wind.
"What are you doing?" cried the fat man.
Nanfeng turned his head when he heard the sound, only to see that the white dog snatched the dried meat from the fat man's hand.
Zhang Zhong sent it again, and after the fat man got it in his hand, the white dog came to snatch it again, and the fat man held it high to dodge, "You haven't eaten that piece yet, why did you come to rob me again?"
The white dog couldn't speak, jumped up, snatched the meat from the fat man's hand, ran a few steps, pulled out a snow cave, and buried it.
The fat man raised his hand in confusion, wanting to scratch his head, but after raising his hand, he remembered that Nanfeng had taken a hat from a servant and fastened it on his head.
Zhang Zhong came over again and wanted to give the fat man dried meat, but before he could get closer, the white dog rushed over and glared angrily, baring his teeth to drive away.
Nanfeng stepped forward, motioned for Zhang Zhong to retreat, and took a piece of bread from a villager to the fat man, but this time the white dog did not take it away.
The fat man wanted to speak, but Nanfeng shook his head to stop it, there were many people, and some things were not suitable to talk about.
Nanfeng pulled the fat man into the distance, avoided everyone, and took the wine bag to deliver, the white dog came to scratch and stop it again, the south wind changed the water bag again, and the white dog turned around and walked away.
"What are you laughing at?" the fat man looked at the snickering South Wind suspiciously.
"Nothing, eat something and get on your way early. Nanfeng laughed, the white dog's actions made him more convinced of his previous guess, the white dog was originally following a high monk, and in its impression, this high monk should not drink wine and eat meat.
"It doesn't seem to let me eat meat. The fat man was also aware of it.
"Your past life may have been really its master, there are many people here, let's talk about this after we go back. Nanfeng whispered.
While the two were talking, Tianmu walked over and glanced at Nanfeng.
Nanfeng followed Tianmu's line of sight and looked to the northwest, only to see that the white dog was taking advantage of everyone's unpreparedness and opening the rope that bound the centipede with its sharp claws.
Nanfeng raised his hand to signal Tianmu not to stop it, and let the white dog grab the rope and let the centipede go.
"Are these two guys in the same group?" the fat man asked in a low voice.
Nanfeng shook his head, the white dog may have lived in that valley for a long time and became neighbors with the centipede, or this centipede may have recognized it as the boss. He didn't know exactly what the relationship between the two was, just as he didn't know the origin of those people with the surname Han who were originally hiding in the valley.
When everyone was about to hit the road, they found that the centipede had run away and began to clamoring to search, but in fact, the centipede had been beaten half to death before, and it was frozen, and it did not run far, but just hid under the snow not far away.
The south wind stopped the search and ordered everyone to set off.
Wu Zhen naturally knew where the centipede was, but he also found that Nanfeng had the intention to let it go, so he didn't point out where the centipede was hiding.
Nanfeng naturally noticed Wuzhen's expression, he regretted a little that he brought Wuzhen over, this guy didn't do much business, but he knew too many secrets.
The centipede was very heavy, and the servants were miserable to carry, so they ran just right, and walked more easily.
In the early morning of the next day, the exhausted group returned to the mountain village, and the trip brought back the corpse and saved another person, which was not in vain.
Before leaving, Tianmu went to see the young man who was sick in bed, and the fat man followed, and the white dog also followed.
It didn't take long for the fat man to come back angrily, and he returned with Zhang Zhong and the others first.
Nanfeng waited for Tianmu Lao Dao to come back, walked with him, and asked Tianmu to know that the fat man said goodbye to the young man's sister, and the white dog rushed forward to prevent the fat man from touching the woman.
Nanfeng had the heart to laugh but did not laugh, this matter is very important, and the top priority is to block the news and not let outsiders know, otherwise there will be senseless incidents.
On the road, Nanfeng said a few words to the crowd lightly, only saying that this matter should not be publicized, and the offender was punished with demonic words, although he said it casually, his expression was very gloomy, and everyone hurriedly agreed.
The fat man was in a carriage, and he originally kept the white dog outside, but the white dog refused and jumped on the roof of the car, and the fat man had no choice but to let it in.
Back at the county office, everyone was very tired, so they dispersed, Tianmu Lao Dao was always worried that the white dog would hurt the two, and he didn't forget to leave two charms before leaving.
People are selfish, Tianmu Lao Dao did this, although there was a flattering element, but this move still made Nanfeng very pleased, the county treasury had a lot of money, so he allocated an additional five hundred taels of silver, so that Tianmu Lao Dao went back to cultivate the Taoist temple.
The fat man was so tired that he closed the door and wanted to sleep, but the white dog was inseparable from him, refused to stay outside the door, and began to scratch the door.
Seeing that it was in a hurry, the fat man was worried that it would change its shape in a hurry, so he could only let it in, and the white dog did not make noise when he entered the door, and lay quietly in front of the bed, guarding the fat man.
Although he knew that the white dog would not harm the fat man, Nanfeng was still not at ease, so he lived in the same room with the fat man. When the fat man is hungry, he goes to the stove to find food, and the white dog will follow, and he really does not leave an inch.
"There's no way to live this day, don't eat from here, go back to your room. The fat man looked at Nanfeng angrily, Nanfeng deliberately angered him, he served white rice and was eating, and Nanfeng was drinking and eating meat opposite him.
"With its protection, no one can hurt you, this is your creation. Nanfeng laughed.
"This creation is still for you. "With the contrast, the rice became more and more tasteless.
"You are a monk, and you shouldn't be a woman with wine and meat. Nanfeng smiled again, before he was still thinking about whether to marry the fat man, but at present, it seems that the fat man can't become a parent, let alone get married, and the meat can't be touched in the future.
"I don't believe you can follow me all the time. The fat man looked at the white dog at the table.
The white dog couldn't understand Chinese, and when he saw the fat man looking at it, he wagged his tail.
The fat man gave it the bowl of uneaten rice, and the white dog bowed his head to eat.
"Hey, have you noticed that it doesn't eat meat either?" the fat man looked at the white dog with interest.
"Don't you have a scripture, find out and see if you have a character with a white dog in your Buddhism. "South wind reminds.
"I've already flipped through it, I've read all these books, I don't remember people, you say it doesn't eat meat, what does it eat in the wild?" the fat man still looked at the white dog.
Nanfeng is not thinking about what this white dog eats, but more important things, although they don't know who this white dog is, but there are always knowledgeable monks who can know, if this matter spreads, the fat man may not be able to be a county official, or it will be robbed by the major temples to make offerings.
"Do you think it's really my dog?" asked the fat man.
"Do you wish it was, or do you hope it isn't?" asked Southwind rhetorically.
"Of course I want it to be, but why don't I have any impression of it?" The fat man was very worried, if this white dog had not recognized the wrong person, he must have been a very powerful Buddhist master in his previous life.
"I don't know much about the reincarnation of your Buddhism, if our Taoist immortals are reincarnated in mortals, they will retain a little spiritual light, one of the hundred earth immortals, one of the thousand heavenly immortals, and one of the golden immortals, the higher the immortal position, the less spiritual light is retained, and the more vague the memory of the previous life, if you are also like this, the more vague your memory, the higher the level of your previous life. Nanfeng said.
The fat man waved his hand and said, "We are not the same thing as you, we talk about the three bodies, the Buddha has the Dharma body, the retribution body, and the incarnation." The Dharmakaya is the hidden truth, which cannot be seen or touched. Reincarnation is the golden body when becoming a Buddha. The incarnation, also known as the corresponding body, is the physical mortal womb that descends to the mortal world again after becoming a Buddha, and the Buddha will have one incarnation at a time, and a Buddha may have many incarnations, can you understand?"
Nanfeng was a little confused when he heard it, "You still want to be a Buddha like this, don't worry so much, just be an Arhat." ”
"There are ten trillion Buddhas, and there are fewer Bodhisattvas and Arhats, and Buddhas are not necessarily bigger than Bodhisattvas and Arhats. The fat man shook his head and waved his hand.
"Could it be that the Venerable Master doesn't mean big eyes, but you?" Nanfeng muttered to himself.
"What's wrong with the big eyes?" the fat man asked suspiciously.
"No, no," Nanfeng denied his thoughts, although Shi Niang was not wearing a Taoist robe, it was very likely that she was a Shangqing Daoist, and the Venerable Master she was talking about should still refer to the big eyes.
"Will that monk who is thousands of miles away know that I stole the Eight Golden Bodies to give you practice?" Nanfeng was muttering to himself again, when he was rubbing the Eight Golden Bodies that day, he was discovered by an old monk's primordial spirit, but the old monk did not embarrass him, but let him take the Eight Golden Bodies smoothly.
"What the hell are you talking about?" the fat man was confused.
Instead of answering the fat man's question, Nanfeng asked, "Where can you find the kind of sutra that records the lives of Buddhist figures?"
"That's a Sanskrit scripture from the Western Regions, only a few big temples have it, and I read that these are all translated. The fat man replied.
"Is there a Longkong Temple?" asked Nanfeng.
"No, their Sanskrit scriptures are all for practice, and the kind of scriptures we are talking about have to be found in big temples like Foguang Temple. The fat man said.
Nanfeng nodded, there are pros and cons to this matter, the disadvantage is that it is very difficult to borrow that kind of scripture, even if you borrow it, you can't understand it, and you may not be able to confirm who the fat man was in his previous life in a short time. The good side is that they have no way of knowing, and no other monks and nuns can know, except for a few old monks in the big temple who are proficient in Sanskrit, and others don't know what this white dog is even when they see it.
In this way, the fat man can continue to stay in Yuxian County as an official, and he can also seize the time to practice hard......
