(The next chapter will be fired at 11:50, open anti-theft, and watch it again at 12:30)
After Honglu entered the mountain gate, he looked around carefully, and found that many places were a little strange, including the mountain gate, including the big banyan tree next to it, including the lotus pond, including the main hall in front, there were faint fluctuations of Buddha power.

In ordinary temples, at most, the main hall has been washed by the scriptures of the morning and evening classes for I don't know how many years, so that it has such an effect.
However, this prosperity has only been more than a year, and the buildings on the left and right are just built, but they all have this kind of Buddha power fluctuations, which makes Honglu quite interested, I don't know how this Pure Heart Temple did this.
Such a monk outside the temple appeared in the Pure Heart Temple, although there were bustling crowds around him, but he was quickly discovered, and immediately a welcoming monk found out and greeted him.
"Amitabha, this Master, I don't know why I'm coming to our temple?" a monk in his twenties greeted him and asked.
Honglu looked sixty or seventy years old, very energetic, his back was very straight, he looked at the monks who came up, and said with a smile: "The old monk Honglu of Longchang Temple, come to see the two senior brothers of Huaisu and Daoji of your temple." ”
Seeing that he directly named the two great virtues of Huaisu and Daoji, and heard him call him a senior brother, his heart moved, and his face showed a look of surprise: "It turns out that there is a great virtue coming, please wait, the little monk went to ask the abbot of the temple to get up." ”
"Okay, then I'll take a break here and see the scenery in the temple!" Honglu said with a smile.
The welcoming monk hurriedly went to another monk and asked him to inform Su Wen, and he accompanied Honglu again.
No matter where the great monks come from, they are worthy of respect in the eyes of all monks. To be able to reach this step, it can be said that the cultivation of Buddhism has reached a level that is difficult for ordinary monks to achieve, and it is far beyond all sentient beings on the path of cultivation, and the cultivation of the other party alone is worthy of respect.
Su Wen was reading the scriptures at this time, and was slightly surprised when he heard someone report that a great monk had arrived to see Huaisu and Daoji.
Most of the eminent monks are penances, not only do they not usually see it, but most people even find it difficult to hear about it. I don't know where the monk came here or what it was for. It's a pity that the disciple who came to deliver the message didn't know the origin of the high monk.
No matter what the other person's purpose is, you can't always take it lightly.
Su Wen asked people to come back first, and then put on their robes and went up the mountain. The original robe that was obtained from the system during the upgrade was completely damaged during the sinkhole, and now this one was made by someone after returning, although it looks similar, but it has lost its original function.
When I arrived at the bottom of the mountain, I saw an old monk in a black robe, accompanied by the welcoming monk, standing there and looking at the Zen Gate Lay Tablet in the door, that is, the one engraved with the Wuxiang ring.
Su Wen's heart moved.
There are very few people who wear black robes, and only the Pure Heart Temple has been changed to wear black robes by Su Wen, except for the Vinaya.
"Amitabha, a poor monk asked, is now the abbot of the temple, and has seen great virtues. Just one glance at Su asked, it was clear that this person must be a high monk. Although it looks no different from an ordinary old monk, the aura of his body is like the abyssal sea, which is somewhat similar to the aura on Huaisu and Daoji.
"I've seen the host. Honglu was also a namaste, and he was a little surprised at the young man who asked.
In the temple, I just heard people talk about this emerging Zen Buddhism, and I knew that it had only been prosperous for a year and a half, but I didn't expect the abbot to be so young.
What surprised him even more was that Su Wen came down alone, and it seemed that no reception was arranged.
Under normal circumstances, no matter which monastery a monk goes to, he will be received with great pomp and will give a lecture in that monastery. After all, the number of eminent monks is too small, and the status is too high.
I didn't expect that when I arrived at the Pure Heart Temple, the abbot came out to receive him lightly, which surprised Honglu a little. But it saved a lot of trouble, and he didn't mind, but he thought it was good.
If you think about it carefully, there are a total of three monks in the Pure Heart Temple and the Fahai who passed away, so naturally it will not be like an ordinary temple.
"It's amazing that the abbot has brought the monastery to such prosperity at this age. Honglu retracted his mind and exclaimed softly. Goodbye Su Wen's eyes are clear, and his cultivation is not shallow, and he is even more admired in his heart. It is not easy to reach this level of cultivation at such an age.
When Fang Cai saw Su Wen, he was often greeted by lay pilgrims, and it could be seen that he was quite respected here.
Comparing the disciples of Vinaya over the years, Honglu feels that the prosperity of this Zen sect is not without cause.
For example, the ordinary disciples just now, their cultivation is shallow, but they are the foundation of the sect. Looking at their words and deeds, they are all people who abide by their hearts.
There are two high monks in this pure heart temple, and the disciples below can abide by themselves, although the abbot is young but his cultivation is profound, and his breath is pure, no wonder he can be famous in a short period of time, and it is indeed not without cause.
Su Wen only smiled when he heard his appreciation: "Dade is praised, I don't know where Dade came from?"
"The old monk came from Longchang Temple. ”
Su Wen secretly said in his heart: Sure enough, he is a senior monk of the Vinaya Sect. Although this Longchang Temple is not an ancestral court, it is the largest temple of the Vinaya sect.
Honglu pointed to the Zen Gate Lay Monument and recited to Su Wen: "What is the use of practicing meditation when the heart is peaceful, what is the use of practicing meditation; If you can drill wood to make fire, the mud will give birth to red lotus. The bitter mouth is good medicine, and the bad ear is the good word. Reform will give birth to wisdom, and protect the short-hearted non-virtuous. Daily use is often beneficial, and enlightenment is not due to money. Bodhi only seeks from the heart, and He Lao seeks the mystery from the outside. I heard that according to this practice, heaven is only for now......
This poem is very well written, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and deeply rooted in the essentials of cultivation. I don't know which great monk it came from?"
Su Wen replied: "It was said by an earlier patriarch of the Zen Sect, and the descendants sorted it out, and it was only when the poor monks were that people carved the monument and erected it here. ”
Honglu listened to Su's words and nodded.
Then Honglu went all the way up the mountain under the leadership of Su Wen.
Before arriving at the stone steps on the second floor, Honglu looked at the stone tablet engraved with "Zen Gate Qing Rules" for a long time, from top to bottom, remembering every word in his heart.
Su Wen smiled on the side, wondering what this Vinaya monk would say.
To his surprise, Honglu continued without saying a word. Originally, Su Wen thought he would reprimand.
On the way up the mountain, Su Wen rarely took the initiative to speak, but he didn't know much about the character of this high monk. And Honglu is also a posture of putting his mind on the surrounding scenery.
Whether it is the lotus buds in the lotus pond or the fruit trees on both sides of the stone steps in the temple.
When he reached the third floor, when he saw the warrior monks and lay disciples who were practicing martial arts, Honglu also stopped to watch for a while before asking, "Abbot, ...... this?"
Su Wen explained with a smile: "This sect has a martial arts Zen saying, using Zen to enter martial arts, practicing martial arts and practicing Zen. ”
Honglu listened to the words and watched there for a while, without making any comments, before following Su Wen's footsteps to the fourth floor.
Although it was not an eye-opener for him, there were many new things to offer. Zen Buddhism and Vinaya Buddhism are indeed different in every way, but this is only the special beauty of the practice method, and in the final analysis, they are both Buddhism.
