Chapter 427: Detention Center (Part I)

Su Wen didn't pay much attention to the minds of the newly introduced lay disciples. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

If you can't wait for this time, your mind is indeed a little too bad.

In his opinion, the heart is the first, the diligence is the second, and the talent is the third.

Talent alone doesn't make it anything.

Of course, if there is a disciple who has the best heart, talent, and diligence, he is very happy to accept it. But that kind of disciple is hard to find.

Therefore, for a long time after the reincarnation of Xingzang, Su Wen often thought about it.

He was a little worried about Huaisu and Daoji, and there was no news after they left the temple one after another, and he didn't know what the situation was now.

It's mid-November now, and they should be back.

This is because monks who go out to study and practice usually return to the monastery in November.

In the past few days, the disciples and Shuchang who had come to study Zen at the Pure Heart Temple and the Caotang Temple had already left. And Haijing and Hai'an from the South China Sea will also leave in the next two days.

Although these two of them spend most of their time focusing on learning cooking skills, they have not fallen behind in their Buddhist cultivation at all, and they can understand the Zen Dharma at all, although they are not so deep in the meditation realm, but they have memorized the theories.

These two people are so talented that they are more than half a point better than Zhi Xingyuan. Although I don't know anything about the world, I can remember the Dharma at a glance and understand it very quickly.

After they return to the South China Sea, they will surely spread the Zen method.

Therefore, Su Wen also specially made excerpts from various classics and some notes of predecessors and sent them to the two, hoping that after the two of them returned, Zen Buddhism would settle down in the South China Sea and spread out.

After talking to Lu Ye for more than half a month, I finally received the news that the meeting had been arranged, and asked Su Wen to arrange for someone to go there in the next two days.

Hanging up the phone, Su Wen sat cross-legged on the kang, his eyes drooping, and entered meditation.

Early the next morning, Su asked the two of them to go up Xinghui and Xingtian and go down the mountain with him.

Although other people can be arranged, he still wants to see what the situation of the detention center here is and learn about the prisoners here.

In the past, he always used supernatural powers to confuse people, which was the fastest way to expand Zen Buddhism. Otherwise, if you want to develop the Pure Heart Temple, I am afraid it will take a few years, more than ten years to reach the current point. It took decades to expand Zen Buddhism to the whole country, which is too long ago and has many variables.

Su Wen always shows people with supernatural powers, and the influence of the Pure Heart Temple is expanded most rapidly, and then it is gradually promoted to a certain realm, which is exactly the same.

Although the other party believes because of supernatural powers, not because of the Dharma, as long as the teaching of the Dharma is strengthened, so that they understand why and how to practice, they will naturally understand it over time.

Just like when the Venerable Master Xuanhua founded the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas in the United States, he also showed his magical powers many times to quickly open up the situation. When the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas was established, he began to reduce the number of times he used his supernatural powers.

After all, Buddhism is still a doctrine at all, and liberation is also the goal, and supernatural powers are just a little extra gain brought by practicing to a certain stage.

The most important thing is the special ability of Su Wen, who brings people into an illusion when teaching the Dharma, sees the essence of the Dharma, and conveys a part of his own experience and experience to others.

Although this ability is also like a supernatural power, it is the most direct way to bring people into the avenue.

Otherwise, it will be difficult for ordinary people to have the patience to practice for a long time, and in the final analysis, it is still their lack of piety, which is not absolute trust, so they will doubt whether everything they practice is effective.

Let them see something, so that they can strengthen their cultivation heart.

However, Su Wen did not plan to do this this time, after all, going to the detention center to teach the Dharma to the prisoners is different from being in a monastery.

If it were him, he was confident that a single lecture would change the minds of the prisoners in the detention center.

But if it is done and then promoted to the whole country, others do not have this ability.

If you don't do it properly, it won't work well.

Of the thousands of detention centers across the country, only one or a few dozen locations succeeded in the end, and the others failed, which did not benefit the overall image of Buddhism.

Sitting in the car, Su Wen looked at the scenery outside the window, with an interested look on his face.

Although the East China Sea is not far from the Pure Heart Temple, he often only goes down once every few months, so every time he goes down the mountain, he likes to look at the city and see the pedestrians, which gives him a sense of authenticity.

The Taoist temple between Jingxin Temple and Donghai has been built, but it is not known when the Taoist temple will open.

With the completion of the construction of the Taoist temple and the recent Buddha light above the Pure Heart Temple, the parking lot at the bottom of the mountain began to be built again.

If there are no accidents, it can be built in a month.

The main body of the hotel built by He Bochuan and others has already been half built, but if you want to finish it all, it will take at least after the spring of next year, plus the decoration, it will take longer. This is already a very fast time for them.

When the three of them came to the detention center, they were just behind the police station, and when they entered from the road next to the police station, they could see two closed black iron doors in front of them, with tall walls on both sides, and a power grid on them, giving people a feeling of oppression.

Su Wen first called Lu Ye, and after more than ten minutes, the small door next to the detention center opened, and a person in a police uniform greeted him with a smile.

First, I looked at the three of them, two young monks and a small novice.

Although I have never been to the Pure Heart Temple, I have heard of the name. Therefore, we do not slack off.

"It's the master of the Pure Heart Temple, right? I'm the director of the detention center, Director Lu has already told me, I'll take you in. ”

Su asked and thanked him: "Amitabha, you have worked hard." ”

When I entered the detention center, I saw a courtyard the size of half a football field, with ordinary dirt floor inside, and two plots of land planted in the corner, which were empty at this time. Next to it is a three-story building, not high, but very long, at a cursory glance there are at least forty or fifty windows, this is the main body of the detention center.

The building of the detention center is very old, it looks a little old, and the whole building is dusty. Each window had iron railings on the inside, and wooden frames on the outside, painted blue but already mottled.

Entering the building is from one end of the main body, where two police officers from the detention center are standing and chatting.

Seeing the director come in with Su Wen and others, he looked at Su Wen with great interest.

After all, it has never been done before for a monk to come to the detention center to give Dharma to the prisoners. When I first heard about this, many people thought that the new Director Lu was really a bit whimsical.

But he's a big official, and he counts what he says. The deputy commissioners of the police station didn't say anything, and even if they had ideas, they were not qualified to speak.

Today, the two of them were resting, and they also exchanged with people to see what Su asked them to say, and what effect it could have.
