Su Wen listened to Depp's words and laughed.

Seeing Su Wen smiling, Deyan and Depp put down their snacks a little. thought that Su Wen would not do anything to the two.

And the owner of the sheep soup restaurant frowned tightly, it is your business to do good, but come and snatch the sheep without saying anything, and directly knock me to the ground.

Not to mention anything else, a big man was knocked to the ground twice by a child and couldn't get up for a while, and his face was lost. That's why when I come, I get angry.

At this time, after listening to Depp's defense, the anger that had been suppressed in his heart rose again.

"You're right. Su Wen first praised.

Deyan and Depp were just overjoyed, and Su Wen continued: "But you two still have to be punished." ”

"Ahh

"Let me ask you two, can you talk to this one about the sin of killing?" asked Su Wen with a deep face.

"Nope. The two of them bowed their heads and replied.

"Why don't you say that?" asked Su again.

"He opened a sheep soup restaurant, and even if he said it, he wouldn't agree. ”

"You two didn't even say anything, you didn't try, you just judged by your thoughts, that's your first mistake. There is a saying that it is a sin to punish without teaching, and you two are like that. ”

After Su Wen finished speaking, both of them lowered their heads and stopped talking.

"Why are you two robbing?" asked Su again.

"The boss won't let this sheep go. Depp muttered quietly.

"In any case, the sheep is the property of this one. If you want someone else's things, you have to exchange them, buy them, this is something that children know. You two snatched it directly, how different are you from bandits?" Su Wen asked in a deep voice.

"Do you remember the precept that you do not steal, that you do not steal, whether directly or indirectly, that you do not steal undeserved property by improper means, and that you both remember?"

"Yes. The two replied in a whisper.

"By your actions, you have already committed one of the ten precepts, and it is the second fault of the two of you. If everybody behaved like you, what would become of society? If people in Buddhism acted in such a name, how would the world view my Buddhism?"

Su Wen said in a deep voice.

As soon as Su Wen's voice fell, Deyan's eyes were red with his head down, and tears fell down his eyes.

Su Wen sighed in his heart, still hardening his heart: "Now I said that I would punish the two of you, are you two still unknown?"

Both of them lowered their heads and shook their heads.

"Abbot, forget the sheep, these two don't have to be punished. Although the owner of the sheep soup restaurant was angry at first, he saw that Su Wen was stern, and seeing that the two people were quite pitiful when they shed tears, he opened his mouth to dissuade them.

"It doesn't matter whether you pursue it or not, if you make a mistake, you will be punished. I can not punish them both, but cause and effect cannot. Su Wen shook his head.

"You two will begin to copy the Diamond Sutra every day for a month starting today. At the same time, apologize to this one. Su Wen said.

The full text of the Diamond Sutra is about 5,180 words, and it takes two hours to transcribe it with full attention.

"I'm sorry. The two shed tears and apologized to the owner of the sheep soup restaurant with tears.

"What if you do it?" A female voice sounded next to her, and Shi Qingqing stood not far from a few people. "Just watching?"

She had just come over, stood aside and listened, and finally couldn't help but speak.

"When a person kills other creatures to fill his stomach, he has karma just as a wolf kills other creatures for his full stomach. But many things in the world are like this, they don't understand the Dharma, they don't understand cause and effect, they kill lives, they get stuck in karma, and they will naturally have retribution.

I know these things, and I don't seem to be doing anything. There are more than one billion people in the country, and if I do this, I will not be able to change a place in my whole life. So I can only preach the Dharma, let them understand the Dharma for themselves, believe in the Dharma, and practice according to the Dharma. The more people who know, the more people believe in Buddhism, and the fewer people who do killing.

It's not wrong to do what they do, after all, someone has to do this kind of "practical thing". But they had the right intentions, but they did the wrong thing. So I punished them for these two faults, but not for saving the sheep. ”

"Do you two understand?" asked Su Wen, turning his head.

Both of them nodded.

"Don't forget this time in the future. Su Wen said in a soft voice.

"Then the two of them saved a sheep, and there is no reward?" Shi Qingqing said on the side.

"If you save the sheep, you will naturally have the blessings of the two of them. What kind of reward do you need? Those who practice practice are cultivating their own blessings and cultivating their own path, and this is the reward. Su Wen said.

"You will punish them for their mistakes, and they will be punished for doing the right thing, what is the reason?" Shi Qingqing's eyes widened on the side, and she felt that Su Wen was too hateful.

"If you don't practice, you naturally don't understand. Su Wen shook his head and smiled.

Turning to look at the boss, "I'm really sorry for today's incident. ”

"Okay, how much is the sheep, go and withdraw the money for this one. ”

When the boss heard this, he hurriedly followed Xingzheng away. He couldn't stay anymore.

Although Fang Cai Suwen was reprimanding Deyan and Depp, he also seemed to be reprimanding him.

What killing, what karma, what retribution, he couldn't listen to it all over. Although he doesn't believe in Buddhism, he doesn't like people talking about it next to him.

After the owner of the sheep soup restaurant left, Su Wen looked at the time and knew that Deyan and the others must have skipped school today, so he didn't say anything and let the two go back. As for the lamb, he also brought it back to the two of them to raise.

Then he no longer paid attention to Shi Qingqing and returned to the monk's house to practice.

As soon as I got back to my room, snow began to fall outside.

The first snow of the year finally fell.

Seeing the fluttering snowflakes all over the sky and the earth through the window, and dyed the outside a faint white in an instant, Su Wen moved in his heart, took a pot of hot water, and brought a teacup to the pavilion on the creek outside, drinking tea and enjoying the snow.

As the hot water poured into the teacup, you immediately saw the heat floating up from the cup. At the same time, a strong fragrance of tea permeated the entire pavilion.

Su Wen looked at the snow outside, as well as the scenery that could no longer be seen clearly in the distance, and sighed in his heart for a while, this is the second winter that he has come to this world.

At this time last year, I should have been in Haizhou and saw that miserable scene.

At that time, the monastery was still only itself and Deyan Depu, and there were still two people, Daoyan.

Only a year later, and a lot of things have happened, and the temple has become this large.

Su Wen went through all the things that had happened in the year in his mind. The temple has developed very rapidly this year, but it is more difficult to go further near the East China Sea.

The Taoist temple to the east has been built, and I am afraid that it will not be long before it will open its doors. When the time comes, you will have to face their onslaught.

There is also Catholicism, which has been expanding these days. Although the two Buddha light appearances made almost all the work they had done in the early stage in vain, they did not give up.

And beyond the East China Sea, their expansion has also been quite effective.

Many areas that had no Catholic churches were also built. They usually build a small church in a place where people gather, and use it as a base to radiate around.

This approach is completely different from Taoism and Buddhism, which like to be independent of the earthly world, but I have to say that they do it very well.

Unfortunately, their purpose is to spread the gospel of their Lord, while Taoism and Buddhism are primarily aimed at spiritual practice. Therefore their way is difficult for the two religions to imitate.

But I'm about to start preparing.

Expand the Pure Heart Temple to the outside.

That will bring a new level to the Pure Heart Temple, and it will also bring more challenges.
