Chapter 255: Almsgiving
"Then go to the Buddha Sect, I was going to say that I would go to the Buddha Sect but I haven't been there. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Leng Xiaohan closed his eyes and shook the rocking chair, and said to the little blue whale in his heart: "Go to the Buddha Sect as fast as possible." ”
Three days later, the group came to the Buddha Gate, but they were stopped when they flew to the Buddha Gate. Two monks wearing monk's robes flew in front of the boat, clasped their hands together and said: "My Buddha is preparing for the feeding puja, during the almsgiving puja, people who are not practicing Buddha are not allowed to enter, please come back!"
Leng Xiaohan led everyone to the deck, looked at the two monks and said, "It doesn't matter if you accept you or not, go and report it! The two monks glanced at each other, before they could say anything. Mei Ruo and Cihang came to step on the lotus, and Cihang flew to Leng Xiaohan's side and said softly: "Young master, you are here." ”
Mei Ruo waved her hand to the two monks: "You go down! The two monks nodded, folded their hands and saluted everyone, and fell below.
Leng Xiaohan smiled and said, "I heard that the Buddha Sect is holding a large-scale ghost crossing event, and I don't have anything to do recently, so I came to join in the fun with a thick face." Mei Ruo saluted Leng Xiaohan and said, "Wherever you say, anyone who cultivates Buddhism can come." You are also a Buddha cultivator, of course you can come, please come inside. ”
Leng Xiaohan nodded and flew beside Mei Ruo, and flew towards the Buddha Sect with everyone behind him with Mei Ruo and Cihang. Luo Xue, Hao Meng, and Zhu Zhi looked at Leng Xiaohan, who was with Mei Ruofei, and secretly pulled the Northern Immortal and asked, "What is his relationship with the Buddha Sect?
The Northern Immortal shook his head, and Yue Yue couldn't help but speak: "That is the secret realm where you didn't enter the Confused Sea more than half a year ago, and in the secret realm, he led several disciples of the super sect alone! ”
The three of them opened their mouths, and Hao Meng muttered, "Then what is his relationship with them?" As for how good it is and why it is so good, that's not something I can know. ”
After everyone came to the main hall, Mei Ruo asked everyone to sit down, and after everyone sat down. Mei Ruo and Cihang sat next to Leng Xiaohan, Mei Ruo smiled and said to Leng Xiaohan: "It's really the right time for you to come! We will give alms tonight for seven consecutive days." ”
Leng Xiaohan looked at Mei Ruo curiously and said, "What will the feeding method be?"
Mei Ruo glanced at Leng Xiaohan helplessly, and said secretly: "This ancient Buddha is also... If you don't continue to practice the Dharma with such a good foundation, you don't even know what almsgiving is, alas!' sighed secretly and was just about to speak, Cihang had already spoken first.
"It's Chaodu, but it's not an evil ghost, it's a hungry ghost. It is said to be a feeding puja, but in fact, it is to first summon hungry ghosts to feed them, and then cross them and send them to reincarnation. Hungry ghosts can be said to be the most pitiful ghosts! After becoming ghosts, they have never eaten enough, and most of them have thin throats and big stomachs. I couldn't eat even the larger food, so I had to starve to death.
Those who have great merit after transcending them will receive ten kinds of merit by giving food and drink: attaining life, attaining lust, attaining strength, attaining stability without hindrance, attaining fearlessness, being admired by all, loving pleasure by all, having great blessings, attaining a lifetime of life, and attaining nirvana quickly. "The little snow lion in Cihang's arms looked at Leng Xiaohan with contempt, as if to say, 'I really look down on you if I don't understand this!'
Leng Xiaohan stretched out his hand and patted the little snow lion on the head and said, "You little guy has become bolder, how dare you look at me like this?" After the little snow lion was beaten by Leng Xiaohan, he hurriedly covered his eyes with two paws.
Looking at the appearance of the little snow lion, Leng Xiaohan chuckled twice and asked, "Then won't this attract other evil ghosts?" Mei Ruo shook his head and said, "Generally speaking, no, there will rarely be other evil ghosts." However, there is still a chance that other kinds of ghosts will be lured!"
Leng Xiaohan nodded: "Take us to your Buddhist sect for a walk!" "Hmm!" Mei Ruo got up and walked out with everyone.
By the time everyone had finished visiting the Buddhist Sect, it was already evening, and Mei Ruo took everyone to the Buddhist Sect to pass the hall. A plate of vegetarian dishes was served, and after Zhu Zhi took a bite, he said loudly: "Sure enough, it is also a medicinal herb!"
"Oh?" Mei Ruo looked at Zhu Zhi curiously, looked at Zhu Zhi and said, "The Taoist cultivator is not weak, I don't know which Taoist temple it comes from?" Zhu Zhi shook his head and said: "Nameless Xiaoguan, I was fortunate to worship under the master's door. After ten years of vegetarian study with the master, the master feathered before going down the mountain. ”
Leng Xiaohan looked at Mei Ruo and asked, "Do you eat dishes made of medicinal herbs for every meal?" Although the medicinal herbs are also vegetarian, can they withstand you eating like this?"
"Alas~" Mei Ruo sighed and replied: "Of course you have to eat medicinal herbs! Ordinary people have to eat meat from time to time to replenish their bodies, not to mention our martial artists." But we who practice Buddhism can't eat meat, so we can only eat medicinal herbs to make supplements. Our Buddhist sect has its own medicinal field, and we sell a lot of it every year! ”
Leng Xiaohan nodded in agreement: "Yes." Everyone at the table couldn't help but roll their eyes. After eating, Mei Ruo said to Leng Xiaohan, "Let's go to the soup hall now!" Leng Xiaohan touched his stomach and said, "Okay!" The group flew towards a mountain to the west of the Buddha Sect.
"Huh!" Seeing the scene below, Leng Xiaohan couldn't help but exhale.
On the top of the mountain, hundreds of Buddhist disciples sit cross-legged on the ground to form a large swastika, each with rice and water in front of them. In addition to the swastika, there are some people who are not Buddhist cultivators, who form a circle to surround the swastika, and there are many people in other places on the mountain who form a small circle or sit on the ground alone.
Leng Xiaohan looked at the scene below and asked Mei Ruo, "You make such a big formation every year?" Mei Ruo shook her head: "We only give food once every three years, and we give food for seven days at a time. ”
Mei Ruo said to Cihang: "Cihang, they will be handed over to you, and I will go over to preside." As he spoke, he flew to the center of the swastika. Cihang led everyone down, found a place, sat down, took out a bowl of rice and water from the space ring and put it in front of everyone and said: "Whatever I read for a while, you will follow it, and what I do, you can just follow it." ”
Everyone nodded, and sat cross-legged and chatted. An hour later, Leng Xiaohan couldn't help but ask, "When did the feeding start?"
Cihang looked at Leng Xiaohan and said, "Generally speaking, it is best before dawn, but we not only have to give food but also overtake, so we can start after the ugly time." ”
"It's half past the ugly hour, it's two o'clock, and it's about eleven o'clock in the evening!" Leng Xiaohan whispered after converting, looked up at Cihang and asked, "That means you have to wait for an hour and a half?" Cihang touched the little snow lion in his arms and nodded to Leng Xiaohan.
Leng Xiaohan reluctantly took out a shot from the space Wanjie, and after learning it, he took out a book explaining the basic formation and read it, Leng Xiaohan, who was immersed in the sea of formations, felt that it didn't take long for Cihang to wake up. "It's going to begin!" Cihang said to everyone, and everyone hurriedly sat down.
The sound of chanting Buddhist texts came from the swastika first, and after a while, the whole mountain resounded with the sound of people chanting scriptures. Leng Xiaohan and the others also followed Cihang over and over again, until everyone saw countless hungry ghosts coming to the mountain.
