Chapter 245: Thank You
On the day Su asked about the temple, many of the good believers of the Pure Heart Temple knew about it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoAfter all, the Pure Heart Temple is just a small city of hundreds of thousands, and some news spreads very quickly among the good believers.
Also spread is what Su Wen said at the time: "Zen Buddhism will open the mountain gate after 1,400 years." ā
After the publication of an interview in Chushu a few days ago, many people wondered what Su Wen said: "Zen Buddhism." Later, someone found out in the ancient books that Zen Buddhism was a school of Buddhism at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and there was no news after the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. Although we know that Zen Buddhism appeared 1400 years ago, there are only very few records, and we do not know anything about all aspects of Zen Buddhism's teachings, and I wonder how much impact the reappearance of a small school that has been dissipated for 1400 years can have.
You must know that the seven sects of Buddhism have been inherited for more than 1,000 years, and most of them have been in extreme decline, not to mention Zen Buddhism, which has long since dissipated in history. Many things are not always better, and religion is constantly changing according to the development of the times. Like Zen Buddhism, which has been dissipated for more than a thousand years, what was back in the day is almost completely inapplicable now, so what is the point of reappearing?
If the Pure Heart Temple was just a small remote temple, few people would pay attention to it. However, the Pure Heart Temple has been extremely popular recently, and the speed of development is also extremely fast, which has long attracted the attention of many religious circles and research scholars.
Wuzhen Temple Jing'an said on this matter: "What has long been eliminated by history, now it is meaningless to take it out, I am afraid that it is just a name to attract attention, and the children of Buddhism do not have to practice, but put their minds on other things, which is really astray." ā
At this time, people did not know everything about Zen Buddhism, and all they knew was that there was such a school in history, but they did not know that the resurgence of Zen Buddhism brought not something that was swept into the dust of history, but a revolution.
Zen Buddhism's "seeing nature to become a Buddha" and "taking refuge in the Buddha" put aside the intervention of the "other" of the Buddha, as well as the implementation of Zen Buddhism's "no precepts" and "hundred zhang rules", which stripped away the sacredness of the entire Buddhism, but made Buddhism closer to human nature and accepted by the general public, making Buddhism a "religion for people" rather than "a religion for Buddha".

Early in the morning, during the morning class, the temple was lively for a long time.
The return of Su Wen made the monks of the Xingzi generation a little different from the past, and there were many more incense and good faith than in the past.
He Xiaorou kept her eyes on Xingzang in the crowd, and every time Xingzang looked back, she staggered her eyes slightly. After noticing Xingzang in the temple that time, he often paid attention to this young man who was originally as gentle as jade, even if his face was covered with scars at the moment.
It's just that for various reasons, she never said a word to him, and every time she watched quietly from a distance. She wanted to talk to him, but she couldn't muster the courage.
Later, when I saw this man again one day, he had already shaved his hair and became a monk. That night she locked herself in the house and poured an entire bottle of liquor. This was the first time she had drunk since that incident, but she felt a lot of pain in her heart, thinking that if she was drunk, she would be more relaxed.
It's just that after getting drunk, my heart hurts even more.
After a drunken session, she still had time to come to the monastery, and it was always early in the morning. Because only at this time can he be seen. Every time he left, he said to himself, "He has become a monk and has taken refuge in Buddhism." And every time I come back, I tell myself, "You can also be a monk and a ......."
In this way, again and again, in the crowd, looking at Xingzang from a distance. Sometimes she even thinks that this is actually quite good, but there is a saying that she has to say it no matter what.
At the end of the morning class, when many monks walked out of the main hall, He Xiaorou suddenly mustered up the courage to come to Xingzang's side: "This master ......"
Xingzang stopped and looked at the woman, who had always been looking at him, and asked, "What's the matter with the female benefactor?"
Although his face was ruined, his voice was as warm as before.
Although He Xiaorou would look away every time, and never looked at Xingzang, but every time she was in the direction of her gaze, how could Xingzang not know that it was her.
"That, thank you. He Xiaorou plucked up all her strength to say this word of thanks, as if relieved. After being nervous, I felt that my palms were pierced by my fingernails.
"Thank me, why?" Xingzang was slightly surprised, he didn't remember any intersection with this girl.
"Nothing. He Xiaorou pursed her lips and smiled, took a step back, and suddenly asked again when Xingzang turned to leave, "Excuse me, can you teach me the Dharma?"
The people next to him were surprised to see that it was strange for such a beautiful girl to make such a request to a monk with a scarred face.
"There is a Dharma teacher in the temple who is responsible for teaching the Dharma. Xingzang was surprised, and then saluted He Xiaorou and turned to leave.
And He Xiaorou behind him was mustering up the courage to say these two sentences, as if her whole body strength was gone. Although she was rejected as expected, she finally said what she had been unable to say, and her whole heart seemed to be open.

After breakfast, someone came to report that a fat man had come to Su Wen and brought many gifts.
When I arrived in the front yard, I found out that it was He Baichuan and his daughter. In addition, there are several young people who are moving boxes of things to the temple, and there are already a lot of them on the ground.
"Lord He, I haven't seen you for a long time, but what are you doing here?" asked Su Wen with a smile after approaching the salute.
"Master Suwen, thank you so much. He Baichuan folded his hands and said to Su Wen, his face was full of enthusiasm.
"Thank you, Master Suwen. He Baichuan's daughter also said with a smile, with a cheerful voice and a little girl's delicateness.
"I'm confused by you. Su Wen chuckled. "And these things?"
He Baichuan patted his stomach and laughed: "The master has to deal with a lot of things every day now, and many things will not be taken to heart when I think about it. But for us, it's a big deal. ā
Then his voice lowered slightly: "Yuanyuan's big exam results have come out, and the results are enough to enter a first-class university, which makes me happy and I don't know what to do." ā
The first class in this world is equivalent to the 985 in the previous life, and it is the best batch of colleges and universities. He Baichuan's daughter went from a student in the middle and lower reaches of the rankings to being admitted to a first-class college in one fell swoop, and this huge change made He Baichuan ecstatic. No matter which parent, they want their children to have a good future. Even if He Baichuan has assets, it is no exception.
Su Wen remembered that he had blessed He Baichuan with the "Manjushri Prajna Sutra", and he saw the effect soon after, and He Baichuan specially thanked him for this matter. I didn't expect the results to come out now, and I came again, and I brought so many gifts.
Su Wen wouldn't let He Baichuan bring the gift back, that would be a bit too hypocritical. These gifts were not important to He Baichuan or him.
However, Su Wen still said to He Baichuan: "This is also the blessing that you have, do more good deeds in the future, and you should be blessed." ā
He Baichuan smiled: "That's right, that's right, now I take out some money every month to donate, and I often give discounts to customers in the store, but I didn't expect business to be better." ā
Su Wen also smiled when he heard this: "This is a business experience, but it is also a blessing." ā
A few people walked while talking, until they came to the guest hall to sit down, Su asked about the tea trees, and asked Xingzheng, who had been following him, "Who picked the two tea trees on the mountain?"
Xingzheng replied on the side: "After the abbot went down the mountain, Master Daoyan asked people to pick it and seal it. ā
Su Wen nodded: "Fetch some and greet the guests." ā
Then he smiled at He Baichuan and said: "You are blessed, not many people have drunk this tea, and it is a specialty of my Pure Heart Temple." ā
He Baichuan immediately looked forward to it when he heard this, he didn't think that Su Wen would lie to himself, since Su Wen said this, it must be something that the outside world does not have. Although I had never heard of it before, I had never heard of it before, but just like asking the blessings of Manjushri Prajna Sutra, no one had heard of it before, but the effect was incomparable.
