Su Wen and Xinghui followed Jinglian out of the monastery, shuttled through the city, rubbed shoulders with people who got up early to go out to work, and finally came to a very ordinary residential community. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

That good believer is on the second floor, Jinglian rang the doorbell, and within a minute the door opened, revealing a middle-aged woman with red eyes and the smell of choking smoke.

"Master, you're here, please come in. The woman squeezed out a smile when she saw Jinglian.

The house is a bit old, it is the same decoration style as more than ten years ago. There was smoke in the room, and seven or eight people, old and young, standing or sitting in the room, should have been the family of the faithful.

The atmosphere was a little depressing, and the old men were silent, and when they saw the three of them coming in, they politely called "mage". And a few young people only cared about playing with their mobile phones, without even raising their heads, and from the bottom of their hearts they didn't quite believe what their grandmother said.

The middle-aged woman pushed open a door and walked in: "Mom, Master Jinglian is here." ”

Su Wen and the two of them followed Jinglian into the room, which was no different from ordinary people. An old lady sat on the bed, dressed neatly and her hair neatly combed. The complexion is also ruddy, and the spirit is very good. Seeing Jinglian come in, he smiled and said, "The master is here, thank you for giving me a ride." Thank you so much for teaching me the Dharma so that I can really feel it and treat it so calmly. ”

Pure Lotus said: "This is your own creation, and the poor monk just opened a door for you." ”

Then he introduced: "This is Su Wen Zen Master and Xinghui from the East China Sea Pure Heart Temple, and I am here to see you off together." ，”

The old lady thanked the two of them and said, "Thank you, two mages. ”

Su asked and returned the salute: "At the right time, congratulations to the donor for ascending to bliss." ”

As soon as she finished saying this, the middle-aged woman next to her glared at Su Wen with red eyes. Su Wen didn't mind, this woman's forehead was all gray, and she didn't know a little bit of Buddhism, so naturally she wouldn't understand these things. On the contrary, the old lady has five colors on her forehead, and she has a solid foundation, which is enough to live in the pure land.

"Honggu, you don't understand this, you should congratulate you. The old lady smiled at the middle-aged woman.

The old lady and Jinglian began to talk about the past again, showing a look of memory from time to time. There was a smile between the words, but I couldn't see that the limit was coming.

Su Wen couldn't help but think when he looked at her: "The difference between life and death is too terrifying, and everyone in the world feels grief." When you can get rid of life and death, you naturally don't feel sorry for life and death.

The world lives here, and everything is prepared first. Only the matter of life and death is ignored upside down. Until the end of his life, he will be rewarded with his karma. It's just that I don't know where this thought is going to be born.

In fact, most of the people in the world are rushing around. The things between life and death are the big things, and you need to plan early to find the way to get rid of it, but most people don't understand, don't understand, and only see the point in front of them, and only at the end of the year do they find the way to liberation.

If you can put aside life and death, you can not be greedy for the world, you will not suffer from the world, and you will be surrounded by fun, and you can be called a 'pure land' no matter where you are.

This good faith is a good opportunity, and he has been prepared early, but at this moment, he does not need to enter the three evil realms again, and he will pass through those hundred thousand eons. ”

The old lady chatted with Jinglian for a while, then suddenly paused, and said slowly: "I'm going to leave when my time is up." I was still a little uneasy and afraid, but the master sent me, and my heart was full of joy at this time.

"Honggu, call them in. The old lady said to the middle-aged woman again.

Honggu saw her mother chatting happily with Master Jinglian, and thought that there would be no more trouble. But when I heard her words, my heart tightened again, my nose was sour, and tears fell like beads with broken threads.

"You kid, go. The old lady shook her head and sighed.

Honggu nodded and walked out of the room, and within a few minutes everyone entered the room.

Even those young people thought it was incredible, the old lady was in good health and in good spirits. Suddenly saying that they are going to die today, how can they believe it?

Jinglian, Su Wen, and Xinghui all sat on the ground, waiting to see this good believer die.

The old lady looked at them and said, "Although I have suffered some in my life, I have not suffered in vain. With you children, I am happy to see you grow up one by one. Now that my time is up, I can't be with you anymore. ”

Everyone was sad to hear her words, but there was still a glimmer of hope that she was just a delusion.

"When the time comes, don't be sad, you should be happy for me. ”

After speaking, his eyes were closed, his legs were crossed, his hands were folded, and the heaving of his chest gradually weakened.

"Mom", "Grandma", "Grandma"

At this time, everyone found out that she had really gone, and they all cried and cried.

"You are calling the Buddha Amitabha, just be sincere. Su Wen said to Xinghui that he hadn't even memorized what he had learned in Zen Buddhism, and he hadn't even learned this kind of "Pure Land Text".

"Single-minded destiny, Elysium, Amitabha, may I illuminate me with pure light, swear to me, I am now mindful, call the name of the Buddha, for the Bodhi Path, to survive in the Pure Land, the Buddha swore in the past, if there are sentient beings, want to give birth to our country, to the heart of the heart of the ......"

Jinglian and Su Wen both recited the "Pure Land Text" to see off the old Shanxin, and Xinghui recited Amitabha Buddha on the side.

While reciting, Su Wen felt like the light of the Buddha was shining, and when he opened his eyes and looked up, the old lady had a clean light on her body, and nodded at the two with a smile. Unlike ordinary dead souls, she looked no different from ordinary people, and after smiling at the two of them, she glanced at the people who were crying, and turned into a point of light and threw herself into an unknown space.

As the old lady turned into a point of light and dissipated, Su Wen could feel the warm and joyful breath coming from that unknown space, and there were bursts of Buddhist music.

Su Wen and Jinglian recited the "Pure Land Text" seven times in a row before getting up. At this time, although the old lady's face was gray, her body was getting colder, and her hands were on her knees, and she still maintained a sitting position.

"The old believer has passed away in the Pure Land, and I will leave first. ”

"My mother just died, and we don't have the heart to entertain a few of them, and we'll go to thank the master later. Honggu said with red eyes.

Jinglian shook her head and said, "I can give her a ride, this is my fate with her." What else do you want to thank you?"

After saying that, he saluted her and turned to leave.

Su Wen also said to Honggu: "Old Shanxin is the bliss of the afterlife, you don't have to be so sad. ”

Honggu nodded: "Thank you Master for your relief." ”

Su Wen just smiled and shook his head and left, ordinary people still couldn't understand these after all.

On the way back, Venerable Jinglian said to Su, "Thank you Zen Master for helping me." ”

"That's what I have to do with her. Su Wen said with a smile, this is too familiar, just now Jinglian said this to Honggu.

"Yes, indeed. Jinglian also smiled.

After returning to the monastery, Su Wen and Xingwu said goodbye to Master Jinglian, and the two continued their journey south.

"Wait a minute. After Jinglian finished saying to the two of them, she walked into the house, and after a while, she came out with a thick stack of paper.

"Every time I look at the Pentateuch, I feel that the books written by my predecessors are not complete enough. This is the culmination of my years of studying the scriptures and collecting them in translation, resulting in the "Sutra of Amitayus". It's just that I haven't had a chance to show it to others, so please take a look. Jinglian Zhengse said to Su Wen.

Su Wen took it with a serious face, the thick paper was full of dense small characters, this is the hard work of a mage's life, and there is no room for negligence.

Starting from the first word, I continued to read from the morning to the evening, and continued to read at night until late at night. And the next day, after getting up, I continued to figure it out, and it was not until noon that I put down the assembly and breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning around and seeing Jinglian sitting cross-legged on the side and chanting the Buddha, Su asked him solemnly and said, "Master Jinglian, this is a rare book. The poor monks were willing to print this assembly for the Dharma Master and spread it to the world. ”

Although Su Wen does not practice this scripture, he still has basic opinions. Although the Pure Lotus gathering does not say that it is all good and fully understood, it is enough for people to prove their cultivation. If it is passed down to the world, it is also a matter of great merit.

"It doesn't have to be like this, if this assembly is known, there will be controversy within the sect, and the Zen master will have to take a role. Jinglian shook her head and said, "I heard the Zen master say that Zen Buddhism is now reopened, and if there is a chance in the future, help me show this meeting in front of others." ”

Su Wen said solemnly: "Master don't worry, I will definitely make arrangements for this matter." ”

After that, he asked Xinghui to carefully put the manuscript into the package, wrapped it with something on the outside, and said goodbye to Jinglian.

Continue to travel south with the hard work of Jinglian's life. (To be continued.) )
