Chapter 575: Behind Closed Doors
Su Wen's lecture was short, but it was successful. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoYou can see it from the way everyone looks at the Fa after the lecture.
Before the Fa was taught, the eyes of the crowd were curious.
And after the lecture, everyone's eyes were full of respect.
Originally, the weather was only slightly cloudy, and I don't know when it became gloomy, but not long after Su Wen's lecture, it rained heavily outside.
Yuanji wanted to take this opportunity to stay overnight. Zen Buddhism was a sect that he had never been exposed to or understood before, so he was full of interest.
Su Wen also has a heart to stay, but there is still a temple to go to over there.
Therefore, after talking with Yuanji for an afternoon, he left in the evening when he saw that the rain was light.
Su Wen and Xingtian held umbrellas in the rain, leaving a back for everyone in the Temple of Sorrow.
The ground poured by the heavy rain was washed clean in some places, and Su Wen's feet were spotless when he walked there.
The next foot may be one foot in the mud, and the other foot in the stagnant water will become clean.
Along the way, Su Wen just enjoyed the feeling of walking in the rain, listening to the sound of small raindrops, looking at the rain curtain in front of him, and his heart was full of a sense of tranquility.
The two of them walked to the vicinity of the station with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and Su Wen was half wet.
At this time, it was already more than six o'clock in the evening, and the two had a casual meal and took the train to Ben Cheng.
Most cities in the Northeast are sparsely populated after seven or eight o'clock in the evening, even near train stations.
As the most famous tourist city in Liao Province, Bincheng has a different scene.
At eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening, the vicinity of the train station was still bustling with people.
Many of the 24-hour stores are full of people eating and waiting for the bus.
There were also many brokers who solicited customers for hotels and inns to ask if the people leaving the station were staying, but they took the initiative to bypass the two of them.
Su Wen was also glad that no one bothered, so he pulled Xingtian out of front of the station quickly, and found a small hotel to live in after crossing a street.
After a night, Su Wen woke up naturally at 5 o'clock the next morning, which has become a habit.
Not long after Su Wen woke up, Yukita also woke up, tried to hold up his eyelids, and got up from the bed to wash.
After both of them got up and washed up, they did their morning classes in the room, which was also a habit.
After the morning class, the two packed up their things and prepared to leave, when there was a knock on the door.
Su Wen opened the door and saw that it was an old lady about sixty years old, so she couldn't help asking, "May I ask who you are?"
"Ah, I'm the innkeeper, come and see if you need anything. The old lady looked at Su Wen and said with a smile on her face.
"Amitabha, thank you, but I don't need anything. Su Wen had a smile on his face. When I came late, I saw a man in his thirties, and I don't know if it was an employee or a family member.
When the old lady saw that Su Wen and the people inside had woken up, she was not in a hurry to leave, but leaned against the door and gossiped with Su Wen.
Why are you a monk, which monastery is it, what are you doing in Bincheng, etc., that posture is not much worse than checking the household registration.
Su Wen didn't have any impatience, just chatted with the old lady with a smile on his face.
"If you believe in the Buddha, will the Buddha bless you?" asked the old lady.
Su Wen smiled: "Why do you want the Buddha's blessing? If you can't rely on yourself, how can you rely on others?"
"If the Buddha doesn't bless you, then what kind of Buddha do you want to learn? It is better to believe in God, that is the only god in the world. The old lady's words made Su Wen pause.
The old lady did not respond to the question, and said: "Each of us is a child of God, and only God's garden is our final destination." And until we go back there, we are all struggling in the world. But when you return to God's embrace, you will be blessed by God and your life will be better. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the old lady took a moment, took a closer look at Su Wen, smiled slightly awkwardly and left.
The old lady turned out to be a Catholic, and this time she knocked on the door to see what she needed, and few guests liked to be disturbed early in the morning. It seems that this old lady heard that a few monks had come to the inn at home, and came to see it.
As a result, after a few words, I made the old mistake and habitually wanted to introduce Catholicism to others. After introducing a large generalist, it seems that he has found the wrong person.
Su Wen immediately figured things out, and felt a little funny in his heart. This old lady is really "dedicated" enough. But it's a coincidence that you can meet Catholics at any hotel. Of course, it is also possible that Catholicism is expanding too quickly.
Yukita in the room heard the sound of the door closing, so he laughed, and rolled on the bed with the quilt over his head.
Su Wen came in and said lightly: "Let's leave when the things are packed." ”
"It's already, master. Yukita said as he pulled the quilt off his head.
"Let's go. Su Wen carried the Buddha bag on his back and took Yushan out of the hotel with Xingtian.
I didn't see the old lady when I came out, so I guess I didn't want to see Su Wen.
Hengshan Temple is still quite far from Bincheng Railway Station, and Su Wen found out in advance that there is a bus directly to Hengshan Temple in the square in front of the railway station.
The two first found a place to eat a bowl of porridge, and when they went out to the train station, they saw that the two people in front of them were wearing missionary robes.
After walking for a while, the two people seemed to be aware of it, and turned their heads to look at Su Wen Xingtian and then made a soft "huh" sound in their mouths.
The other person also turned his head when he heard it, and the two of them looked at Su Wen and Xingtian and then turned their heads away, not knowing what to say to each other.
When they were about to arrive at the station, the two turned a corner, and Su Wen and Xingtian went directly to the station to take the bus to Hengshan Temple.
After another two hours, the two of them stood near a parking lot, and on the opposite hill was Hengshan Temple.
The pilgrims of this Hengshan Temple are more than that of the Sorrowful Temple, and the permanent population of the main Binzhou is ten times that of Chenzhou, but the flow of people is only a little more than that of the Sorrowful Temple.
From this, you can see the gap between the two monasteries.
Of course, the penance and money precepts of the Temple of Sorrow also add a lot of points to the Temple of Sorrow. It is also the head of the Temple of Sorrow every autumn, although it is a little harder, but at the same time it has gained a huge sense of identity around it while tempering itself.
Hengshan Temple is located halfway up the mountain, and the mountain gate is not very large, but the internal area is not small.
Among them, there are more than 60 monks who are practicing.
Su Wen arrived in front of the mountain gate, found the monk and reported his identity directly: "Amitabha, this fellow initiate, the poor monk Jingxin Temple Su Wen and his disciples asked to see the abbot of your temple. ”
The monk looked at Su Wen a few times after listening to Su Wen's self-registration, then frowned and threw down a sentence: "Please stay here later." And he hurried away.
After more than ten minutes, the monk turned around and said, "The abbot has not seen you, please go back." ”
