Chapter 40: The Wandering Monk
Deyan and Depp saw the two puppies and immediately ran over and hugged them in their arms, and they liked it very much. After all, the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info still a child, and he has no resistance to such a fluffy young beast.
Su Wen only smiled when he saw their appearance. As for the name, it has already been thought of. The larger yellow one is called Ah Bu, and the smaller black one is called Forrest Gump. As for whether it collided with someone's movie, he didn't care.
The next few days were the same as before, doing morning classes every day, and then teaching a few people to practice martial arts and practicing vajra fingers by themselves. In the afternoon, he stripped off his upper body and was beaten with a wooden stick, and practiced the golden bell jar for an hour, followed by Luohan Boxing and Eagle Grabbing Gong. Life is also fulfilling.
The incense in the temple is flourishing, those pilgrims who love to play cards go back to win more and lose less, attracting more people to come to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and there are many rumors in the market, all say that the incense of the pure heart temple is effective. There are those who come to ask for marriage for their children, there are those who seek health, and there are even those who ask for children.
Su Wen actually wanted to tell them that it was better to go to the hospital if they wanted an heir.
There are always twenty or thirty people at the end of the day, especially in the morning, and many people have to talk to Dao Yan for a while after the incense is poured before leaving. Dao Yan is much more popular than Su Wen.
However, he didn't have so much time to care about the situation of the pilgrims, and he had to spend most of his time practicing martial arts every day, and he had to watch the construction site. After all, that's where they're going to live in the future, and it's okay to look at it more.
The walls rose very quickly, and in a few days most of the second floor was built. In a few days, it will be topped out, and in a week it will be possible to start renovating the interior. After laying the floor, it will start drying, and you will be able to move in in December.
What surprised Su Wen was that there were monks from a few places who wanted to place orders here for a few days.
The so-called pending order refers to the monk to stay in the monastery, and the single refers to the list in the monk's hall, and the monk hangs his clothes under the list, so it is called the pending order. It stands to reason that it should be in the guest hall, but there are not a few houses in the Pure Heart Temple, and there are no guest halls, so I met the monk at the mountain gate.
Su Wen looked at the monk in his forties in front of him, a monk's robe was a little old, and he was carrying a Buddha bag. The man was tall, dark, and thin, like a hemp rod, and one wondered if it would be blown away by a gust of wind. Standing in front of Su Wen, he was half a head taller than Su Wen. Su Wen is 1.75 meters tall, and this person is going to be 1.9 meters. What catches the eye is that it is very bright and thorough.
The monk saw Su Wen and saluted: "Amitabha, the poor monk Guangjue, I have seen the host." ”
Su Wen saw that he was dressed as if he had walked a long way, and his accent was also from other places, so he asked, "I don't know where it came from?"
"Lu'an Daoguang Temple. Guangjue replied calmly.
"What are you going to do?"
"Guangjue disturbs the permanent residence of the pending order. ”
As soon as I heard it, I knew that it was a short stay of a few days. There are two kinds of Buddhist orders: traveling to study and borrowing. Generally, studying is to live for a long time, to say close to permanent residence. If it is only a few days in the short term, it is to disturb the permanent residence pending order. Moreover, the order to other monasteries is also divided into periods, usually from the fifteenth day of the first month to the fifteenth day of April, and from the fifteenth day of July to the fifteenth day of October.
Although it is also the middle of October, it is the solar calendar. And the monk usually counts the lunar calendar, and the time is not missed.
Seeing that this monk's expression was calm and his eyes were clear, Su Wen also had a good impression in his heart, so he said: "This temple is small, and the monk's house is insufficient. Seeing that the other party's face was calm and there was no trace of dissatisfaction, he continued: "I'm afraid the Bodhisattva will have to squeeze with the others." ”
Guangjue Shili: "Thank you for presiding. ”
Su Wen led him to the room of Yilong and the others, and squeezed the bunk. The new monastic house was built with one bed per person.
After settling Guangjue and telling him about the time for dinner and morning class, Su Wen left, leaving him there to clean up. In the past, there were monks who traveled and placed orders, and they were all squeezed into a room with Su Wen. Now that he is the host, he finally doesn't have to squeeze anymore.
After Deyan and Yilong and others finished cleaning the courtyard, they returned to the monk's house and began to stand on the pile. Ah Bu and Forrest Gump ran over and rubbed Su Wen's legs, touching each head before running to the side, wagging their tails.
These two dogs don't know if it's caused by their wandering life outside or if they're just smart and never make trouble. When other people are doing things, they just stay aside honestly and are very eye-catching. The funny thing is that the two dogs don't know where to learn, and they often sit like people, not squatting like animals, but like people, with their legs apart. One hugging the other, it's fun to watch.
It's just that when I saw Naga, I was a little scared, my hair stood on end, and my mouth made a threatening sound. Later, it was appeased a few times, and it was fine. It's just that he respects Naga and stays away, and never dares to approach. Fortunately, Naga ignored them, but the weather was getting colder and colder, and Naga didn't like to move too much.
Speaking of Naga, there is an incident, some time ago, a female pilgrim was offering incense, and Naga swam down from the pillar. The pilgrim was frightened on the spot, turned around and ran. It made Su Wen a little confused. But even so, he didn't blame Naga. For him, Naga was part of the monastery.
However, there are also many pilgrims who come to see Naga often and know it. It's not too taboo to know that it doesn't hurt people and it's not poisonous.
Su Wen always felt that Naga was the most comfortable. Sleep on the beam during the day, and climb outside to bask in the sun in the afternoon if no one is around, and there is always no one around. As long as others don't get too close to it, it ignores it.
It didn't take long for Guangjue to settle his luggage, and after coming out of the room to watch everyone practicing martial arts for a while, he went to the well to fetch water and wash clothes.
Yilong and a few people were a little surprised to see him come out of his room, but they still asked to explain that this was a monk who came from Yunyou, and stayed for a few days. Although the three of them were not very willing in their hearts, they did not dare to show it.
At night, I saw Guangjue and Dao Yan on the side, and I didn't know what they were talking about.
When I came over and listened, it turned out that the two of them were talking about Buddhism. It was mostly Guangjue who was talking, and Dao Yan only occasionally inserted a sentence in the middle, which made Guangjue dumbfounded.
Su Wen smiled secretly in his heart, after all, Dao Yan understood the essence of Zen Buddhism in another world for thousands of years. Where is the knowledge that Guangjue, a local monk, can compare.
There is no tree in a Bodhi song, and the mirror is not a platform. It is estimated that it can bluff a large number of people.
Su Wen wanted to find an opportunity to throw these out, and it was estimated that he could bluff a large number of people. But think about it, if the six ancestors come in the future, it will be embarrassing. Although he wouldn't mind with the heart of the Sixth Ancestor, it was really too embarrassing.
Guangjue asked, "Dare to ask what a Buddha is, and if you ask for the Dharma, where can you ask for it?"
Dao Yan didn't need to think about it, and replied directly: "You are the Buddha, and your heart is the Buddha's heart." There is no way to do it, and there is nowhere to ask for the Dharma. There is no other Buddha outside the mind, and there is no other mind outside the Buddha. ”
Guangjue pondered, and asked again in a half-loud voice: "How do you see good and evil, and distinguish right from wrong?"
Dao Yan smiled: "Don't take good, don't give up evil." Clean and unclean are not relied upon on either side. ”
Su Wen listened to the answers of the two, and left without disturbing the two.
This Guangjue monk is really here to study, when he first arrived at the Jingxin Temple, he saw few people, the temple was dilapidated, he didn't care, he just wanted to rest for a few days, and he left after a little look. Unexpectedly, Daoyan Buddhism was brilliant, and many of the sayings were different from what he had seen, thought and learned, and he had the mind to argue. I didn't leave the Pure Heart Temple for half a month, except for occasionally watching a few people practice martial arts, most of the time I was thinking or talking about Buddhism with Daoyan.
Sometimes I would ask Su Wen, and Su Wen would say that he was not good at Dharma. He didn't have the heart to argue with Guangjue about this. It can be seen that if this Guangjue were an ordinary person, he would be a scholar. Nerds aren't counted, although they don't talk much, but they can be seen from those penetrating eyes.
One day, Guangjue asked Su: "Cultivating Buddha is to transcend the mortal world, what is the use of your martial arts and physical body?"
Su Wen said indifferently: "Participating in meditation is practicing Buddha, walking, sitting and lying down is practicing Buddha, how can practicing martial arts not practice Buddha?"
Guangjue was taken aback, he had never heard of this before. After arriving at the Pure Heart Temple, the young host and Dao Yan said that the words were different from what he had seen before, but although the words of the two of them were different, the meaning inside was similar, and it was the Dharma that had been passed down in one line.
Su Wen saw that he was surprised, and he fell into deep thought, and he laughed in his heart, this is the difference between Zen Buddhism and Pure Land Buddhism. Zen Buddhism pays attention to the clear mind and the nature of the Buddha. The Pure Land sect focuses on believing in the Pure Land, yearning for the Pure Land, and reciting the Pure Land. You can become a Buddha just by reciting the Buddha.
It is difficult for the two sides to say which is better, but they have different views and different paths.
Zen Buddhism obviously pays more attention to personal understanding, and if you are enlightened, you can become a Buddha without practicing Buddha for a day. And the Pure Land sect is simple, easy to spread, and easy to be accepted.
During this period, the mayor's secretary came and said that the money for the protection of ancient buildings applied for by Jingxin Temple had come down, and there were 800,000 yuan. The secretary came with a check, so as not to ask for another trip, and left a phone number before leaving, so that he could be contacted if he had something.
Su Wen naturally would not refuse this, and after sending him away, he turned around and looked at the temple, and only this Daxiong Treasure Hall can be regarded as an ancient building, which can have a history of more than 100 years. If it weren't for the fact that there are people in the DPRK and China who are easy to do, this will easily be 800,000 yuan.
But I also knew in my heart that this was the mayor's gratitude for saving the son last time. Otherwise, if the prince had an accident in Donghai City, he would inevitably be implicated.
