Chapter 572: Burning Finger Offerings
Although Su Wen had never seen the abbot of the Temple of Sorrow, he knew it was him when he looked at the appearance of the middle-aged monk.
"Pure Heart Temple Su Wen and his disciple Xingtian have seen the abbot. Su asked the haltene.
Xingtian also learned from the courtesy.
"You call me abbot, and I call you abbot. You call me a mage, and I call you a mage. It's better to be called a fellow initiates, but it's a little closer. When two monks meet, it's as if they are meeting with two company CEOs, which is not interesting. "The abbot of the Temple of Sorrow said.
Su Wen laughed when he heard this, and he had a good impression of the abbot of the Temple of Sorrow.
"However, there is no introduction, the poor monk Yuanji, added as the abbot of the temple. "Yuanji Road.
Su Wen smiled again after hearing the name of Yuanji, and he didn't feel anything disrespectful, but he thought that this Yuanji's master was too careless when he chose the name.
Yuanji, Yuanji, although Buddhism does not pay attention to these, but it is not so good.
The young monk bowed to Yuanji and went back to sweep the floor.
Out of the corner of his eye, Su Wen found that Yuanji's little finger and ring finger were missing on his left hand. The ring finger is only a little above the root.
And the front of both fingers is blackened, as if burnt.
"Burning Finger Offerings!" Su Wen said in surprise.
Yuan Ji saw that Su Wen looked at his left hand, raised it to look at it, nodded and smiled: "In order to repay my mother's kindness, I transferred the merit to my mother, but I didn't expect to fall asleep when I burned it, and when I woke up, it was already burned out." ”
Su Wen was indeed surprised.
Burning finger offerings have been made since ancient times, but now there are relatively few of them, and among the monks Su Wen has seen, they have not done so, and today I saw one, and I still burned two fingers.
"What about the other one?" asked Su Wen, a little presumptuously.
"It was my master who burned after he passed away. ”
Xingtian's little face wrinkled when he listened to it, and he burned his fingers, how much it hurt? He had been burned by fire once before, and he had big blisters, and he was dying of pain. What's more, it's scary to think about burning your fingers.
Master, don't be like him, and don't let yourself be like him.
Su Wen bowed respectfully to Yuanji, and if nothing else, he would repay his mother's kindness for the other party and repay his teacher's kindness.
Article 16 of the 48 Light Precepts of the Sanskrit Net Sutra says: "If you burn your body, arms, and fingers, and if you don't burn your body, arms, and fingers to support the Buddhas, you are not a monk." ”
The sixth volume of the Sutra of the Great Buddha says: "There are bhikshus who have decided to practice samadhi, and they can light a lamp on their bodies, burn a finger, and burn incense on their bodies before the image of Nyorai. ”
Burning finger offerings can counteract the sins of the past life, so there are ascetic monks who practice this method.
Burning a finger is not a severed finger, but a slow burning of the finger with wax, in which the pain can be imagined. According to Yuanji's words, he fell asleep in the burning fingers, and when he woke up, his fingers were burned out. Regardless of whether this is true or not, he burned it once and burned it a second time, which is admirable.
What's more, the monks don't speak, and Yuanji practices so hard, it is impossible for him to break the vows and lie. From this point of view, Yuanji's cultivation has also reached a very high level, and it can only be so by abandoning physical sensations.
However, Yuanji is using this method to offset the sins of his mother and benevolence, which is the path of the Bodhisattva, and this mind is also admirable.
After bowing, Su Wen looked at Yuanji's eyes and said, "The poor monk deeply admires the matter of the initiate's burning finger offering, but he has something in his heart that does not vomit and is unhappy, and the initiate is probably misinterpreting the Buddhist scriptures by doing so." ”
Ordinary people do such a big thing, if they are denied by others, eight out of ten will be furious, and two of them are cultivating their minds and cultivating their minds, and they will say lightly: "What do you know?"
Yuanji was not angry at Su Wen's words, but asked with a smile, "Why do you say that?"
Su Wen looked at his eyes carefully, and saw that there were really no mood swings, and he was as indifferent as water. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly realized: "The initiates have either already realized themselves, or they have other ideas, but I have said too much." ”
Those who do such things as burning fingers are people who have extremely firm beliefs in their hearts. And after doing such a big thing, I will even be proud of it in my heart.
