In the 129th episode, the Buddha with a thousand faces is exquisite, and Mrs. Liu generously donated
The patriarch toured the east, pointing out the maze, and Tanzhe Temple completed the huge project of this thousand-faced Buddha. Wang Zhenren recited the mantra and moved the boulder of the Buddha with a thousand faces from the center of the dream to the side of the road, and then disappeared into the night. Master Li Yongze was dumbfounded, looking at the surprised scene, which made the second monk confused.
Niu He, the old housekeeper, heard that Master Li Yongze had completed the project of the Thousand-Faced Buddha, came to the west courtyard of Mrs. Liu of the Li family in Niuquan Village, and told Mrs. Liu about the Thousand-Faced Buddha. Mrs. Liu was originally a believer in Buddhism, and when she heard about these new things, she also felt that her heart was much brighter, so she quickly sent someone to call Li Yongze's wife Xiaoyu over.
Mrs. Liu, "Daughter, my son-in-law took a few grandsons to carve the Thousand-Faced Buddha in Shimen Camp, and since he left, has he never come back?"
Xiaoyu, "Godmother, what do you old man say, this old thing has long forgotten me, it has been more than three years since I left, or I was cheeky, went up the mountain to see him a few times, brought him a lot of change of clothes, and was afraid that he would not eat well, so I brought him a lot of delicious food." This old thing is good, seeing my face, lukewarm, busy with his little things every day, busy, he doesn't even have time to eat, don't look at three years, he is longer and more energetic, at home for a few years, there are already a few gray hairs, now it's good, the longer the person is more and more energetic, the longer and younger, I stood next to him, became an old woman, and then I was too lazy to go, my sons came back a few times, what was missing, I let them take it, saving me from going to him and not having time, it was difficult to even meetγ β
Mrs. Liu, "You also have to understand him, Master Zhiyuan personally invited him to go, there are thousands of people under his hands, and he has been working for three years, and there are many things that need him to take care of, so there must be no time, this is a great matter of great merit, people entrust him, can he not do his best? β
Xiaoyu, "My mother, you always talk to him, and I am your little padded jacket." Not to mention, it turns out that a person who fiddles with stones every day, there are thousands of people under his hands at once, those people are all craftsmen, all of them are human spirits, if you want to do this well, it is indeed not an easy thing to hold these people, he is the temper, because of human affairs, then you have to do a good job for others, otherwise you are sorry for others from the heart, you don't need to persuade me about this matter, the two of us have been together for so many years, I know him. No matter what happens, I'm there for him. I just feel a little sorry for him in my heart, how to say that he is also a person in his forties, this work is three years, even the iron body and bones can't stand it, I'm afraid that he will be tired and sick, or he can't think about something, and he will get angry with the child, lose his temper, and I'm afraid that his body can't bear it. As soon as I saw that he was fine, I was relieved. β
Mrs. Liu," I don't have anything else to do with you, that is, he has been working for three years, and there is nothing going on at home, a large family has to eat and drink, if you lack anything short, come to the house and get it, and I will also ask them to send you some silver, our family life is okay, especially his apprentices, although they gave everyone some money when they left, they are afraid of sitting and eating nothing, and in the past three years, a little savings have basically been spent, and you will go and get some silver in a while, and calculate his fifty or sixty apprentices well, and give each person 100 taels of silver, these men are working hard there, and they can't let their families suffer from poverty, our family can also support them, so that they can work there with peace of mind, and it is also for my son-in-law to share worries and solve problems. β
Xiaoyu, "My mother, don't you want to say that I'm still worried, I heard that now this work is basically over, and the money for everyone is not much, although I also subsidize them every year, but I estimate that no family is rich, you have this, my heart is steady, thank you old man." β
Mrs. Liu, "This is originally a matter of accumulating virtue and doing good, we are all a family, what do you say thank you, if I don't have it, don't you also have to help me? Now our family is still very comfortable, so don't forget his apprentices, people follow him day and night, no one is easy, don't let them be distracted, let's do more in the back, they can do it in front of them at ease, my son-in-law can take care of them." Okay, this is the first thing, the second thing is that I heard that this project is almost finished, Master Zhiyuan sent someone to send an invitation, let us go to the ceremony, do you want to go?"
Xiaoyu, "My eldest son also came back and said, he wants me to go too, I want to go, we can't go empty-handed, your old man said let's bring something to others? β
Mrs. Liu, "That's not possible, you don't have to worry about this matter, let's go as a whole family, give my son-in-law standing and cheering, let's also get a little light, you don't care about the gift, I will prepare a copy, I will also prepare a copy for you, you have posted so much money for more than three years, no longer trembling with the last one, I can't let you lose your dignity, what am I doing as a mother? I have already thought about your business, this time I will definitely let you go decently, and I will make you beautiful in front of everyone." I'm not talking about this now, it's all a trivial matter, I want to say, after we go together, in addition to bringing some gifts, do we still have to take some incense money? Donate to the temple, this is also a part of our piety, don't you say?"
Xiaoyu, "It's still thoughtful that your old man thinks, so how much are you going to donate?"
Mrs. Liu, "I heard that your brother Wang Zhentai is still in the temple now, let your son ask him, understand the situation, see how much others donate, let's not come out of the flock, don't fight for the top few, don't show the nose and are not conspicuous, just fall in the middle of the stream, anyway, it's all a piece of heart to the Buddha, and it's not much, you can't cause other trouble because of this matter, do you think it's okay?"
Xiaoyu, "It's all up to your old man, I'll go back and let my eldest daughter-in-law go, let my eldest son go to his uncle, and we can decide if you ask about the situation." β
Li Yongze's eldest son, received the words from his mother, because now the project has ended, just waiting for the opening ceremony, so there is nothing at hand, according to the request of his mother Xiaoyu, he personally went to Tanzhe Temple, found Wang Zhentai, explained the situation to him, and also explained the meaning of Mrs. Liu, please let him understand, give himself an exact letter, and then decide how much money the family donates.
Wang Zhentai accepted this task, found the monk in charge, learned about the merchants inside and outside Youzhou City, and learned about the donation situation in the nearby ten miles and eight villages, and then he decided to go back to Niuquan Village, report the situation here to his godmother, and also take this opportunity to visit Wang Zhenren.
This period of time, Wang Zhentai's practice has made great progress, his little apprentice Fa Zheng, for the words and deeds of Buddhism is also more sophisticated, that smart little brain, dedicated to the Buddha, raised a lot of questions, he can't answer for a while, although Master Zhiyuan is next to him, but the direction of the two people's practice is different, Master Zhiyuan is a master of Zen Buddhism, pay attention to the mind, Wang Zhentai himself is a person who practices the Vinaya, so many things, need Wang Zhenren's further guidance.
Wang Zhentai felt that it was necessary to go home, take care of the company, and go to meet Wang Zhenren.
Precisely:
Mrs. Liu made a good relationship, and Wang Zhentai turned his kindness.
