Chapter 728: Miscellaneous Matters
On the third day, the water under the mountain finally receded, and the exposed road surface was full of silt, and a few small fish could be seen swimming around in the puddle from time to time.
There are also some large fish that remain on the ground after the water has receded, and they survive on the little water that remains.
After Su Wen went down the mountain and took a turn, he asked the disciples in the temple to carry the bucket down, collect all the fish, and send them back to the river.
A few disciples worked together to carry buckets, while others were catching fish in a nearby puddle.
This time the water receded, and there were too many fish left on the shore.
In many places, there were dead fish, and when the monks saw them, they shouted the Buddha's name and continued to search for them.
And all the good believers on the hill came down, and went back to their simple houses, and found that there were signs of flooding everywhere, and that when the water level was at its highest, it was a man high.
Fortunately, they were not in a hurry when they went up the mountain, except for some dishes and chopsticks and the like, most of them were taken up the mountain, and the loss was not big.
Some people also volunteered to help after seeing the monks in the monastery collecting fish and releasing them.
Seeing so many things in the Pure Heart Temple, I am afraid that there are not many people who can firmly not believe in gods and Buddhas.
There are some who are skeptical, and many more who are devout.
And as they descended the mountain, the news of this stop of rain began to spread.
After all, nothing else has any effect in Jingxin Temple these days, but mobile phone charging is a big problem. Except for a few mobile phones, all of them are out of battery. Now, although the water level at the foot of the mountain has receded, the power has not been restored, so many people go to the East China Sea to find a place to recharge their batteries and report their safety to their families.
When talking to people in the East China Sea or on the phone, they all talk about everything as if they have seen it with their own eyes.
If it had been before, few people would have believed such a thing. But now the people of the East China Sea believe a lot after hearing it.
On the one hand, the reputation of the Pure Heart Temple has been established, and on the other hand, there are many believers in Buddhism in the East China Sea.
Many people will follow the namaste after listening to it: "Amitabha." ”
After that, it was more religious.
The most intuitive change is that only 10% of the population in Tokai City likes to carry rosaries or Kannon pendants, but after a few days, it has become 20%.
This ratio is already super staggering.
Of the five people in the city, one of them was decorated with Buddhist objects.
To outsiders, especially those who have been to the East Sea before, if they arrive again, they will find that within a few years, the East Sea has become a city full of Buddhists.
The atmosphere of Buddhism is far stronger than in all other places in the country.
Even those countries in Southeast Asia that believe in Buddhism are far from comparable.
……
When the disciples went down the mountain, Liang Pingxing took a few disciples to say goodbye to Su Wen.
"This time it is thanks to the abbot, the grace of saving my life, I will never forget. If you leave this time, you shouldn't come to the East China Sea again. I'll see you in the future.
If there is something to do, people can go to Laoshan to find me, and they will definitely not shirk it. Liang Pingxing took his disciple Chong Su and asked.
"Liang Daoyou, everyone, there will be a period later. Su Wen shouted at everyone.
"Su asked the abbot, there will be a period later. The grace of saving lives will be reported later. "The disciples of the Dragon Quest are all doing the same.
Then followed Liang Pingxing down the mountain.
Watching the dragon hunting audience leave, Su Wen smiled slightly.
This time it's a thing.
First, I went to the dining hall and got the fruit, and then went to the Jizoden to offer it on the table.
The Jizo Hall has been full of people these days, and the two little ghosts dare not come out. After seeing the person leaving, he immediately ran out and jumped around Su Wen.
"This is a reward for you. Su Wen put the two apples in the corner and said to the little ghost.
In the past two days, the two little ghosts have not caused any trouble, which makes him feel more and more that the decision to take them in was correct.
All living beings in the world have spirituality, and although the little ghost is not a living being, it is also among all living beings.
Since they are sentient beings, they all have the right to stay here.
After all, they are different from those revenants. The return of the dead to where they should go is liberation.
But these little ghosts were refined by people, and under the command and control of others, they had countless karma on their bodies. In the monastery, you can also eliminate the karma that is tainted on your body as soon as possible.
After that, I went to the back mountain, and when I saw that everyone was fine, I returned to the monk's house.
As soon as I came back, I answered a phone call, which was from the Lu Provincial Buddhist Association.
Although Su Wen is not named in the Buddhist Association of this province, his status is there, and he is a member of the National Buddhist Association, and the Buddhist Association of this province often informs him when discussing things.
This time, due to the recent floods, not only Joshinji Temple was affected, but many other temples were also affected. In addition, during this period, many monasteries in Lu Province have reduced most of the pilgrims, and in line with the intention of helping each other in the establishment of the Buddhist Association, I want to donate to each other.
When Su Wen heard this, it was a matter of duty, and said, "The poor monk already knows about this matter. The poor monk first asked the disciples of Yunshui Academy to understand the recent situation in the temple before deciding how much to donate. ”
"Then there is Laussin to ask the abbot. The monk on the other end of the line said.
When he hung up the phone, a young disciple in another monastery asked, "Master, the Pure Heart Temple won't shirk it, right?"
Sitting there was an old monk who shook his head when he heard this and said, "Then you are underestimating him too much." To be able to make the Pure Heart Temple look like this, how can he be the kind of short-sighted person?"
Sure enough, half an hour later, Su Wen called and said, "Jingxin Temple can donate 1.5 million yuan to help fellow practitioners tide over the difficulties." ”
When the old monk heard this, he said with a smile on his face: "Then Lao Fusu asked the abbot." ”
There are a total of 98 monasteries in Lu Province, and not all of them were affected.
There are about 40 people who really need help, and some donations from other monasteries are close to 3 million, which is more than enough.
And do one thing he wants to do.
When he said, "Su asked the abbot, the Buddhist Association of this province wants to set up a website to put some videos of the Venerable Master**. I hope that the master of the Pure Heart Temple can also talk about it. If you can, it's best to have great virtue**. ”
After hearing this, Su Wen thought for a moment and said, "I think this matter is feasible." I'll have people record some of them and upload them when the website is built. ”
Hearing the news, the old monk's face was even more joyful. After all, money is an external object, and although it is indispensable, it is not the most important thing.
** is the right way to benefit countless people.
There are videos of Master Jingxin Temple and Dade**, plus those from other temples, there is no problem with this matter.
Su Wen hung up the phone, thought about it and called Jing Zhen again.
Now that the provincial Buddhist associations have basically been set up, and most of the statistical work has been done, some other things can be prepared.
Including the website of the National Buddhist Association, as well as the affairs of the Buddhist Institute.
These are all important events to promote Buddhism and cultivate monks, and they cannot be delayed.
After discussing with Jing Zhen, he called the Fa Xiang again, and Jing Zhen contacted Jing Zhen for other aspects.
After several parties discussed, Su Wen asked people to put 2 million on the account of the Buddhist Association, plus a total of 15 million for other monasteries, to set up a website and prepare the preliminary expenses of the Buddhist college.
After the establishment of the Buddhist Association's website, it will raise funds for the construction of Buddhist colleges.
After the two phone calls, Su Wen received another call from the mayor's secretary.
"Master Su asked, it's inconvenient for him to make this call, so let me thank you for him. If there is time to descend the mountain, the mayor wants to treat you to a light meal. ”
After hearing this, Su Wen was puzzled and didn't know what was going on.
Soon after, I received a call from He Baichuan, and I learned that the matter in the main hall that day had been spread.
