The day after the lecture, he got up after the evening class and said to everyone: "Starting the day after tomorrow, this temple will hold seven meditation sessions, and those who are interested in participating should register at the difficult place. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

As soon as Su's voice fell, someone immediately asked, "Abbot, what is Zen Seven?"

"Those who sign up are allowed to go down the mountain for seven days, and they are not allowed to contact the outside world, and they are not allowed to sleep in the meditation hall except for toilet and food every day.

The purpose is to be brave and diligent, and to practice hard. ”

When the disciples were being inspired by Xingyuan to become a mage, they immediately said, "Abbot, I will." ”

When Su Wen saw the appearance of the people, he knew that they had never practiced like this, and he looked down on the hardships of Zen Qi. But don't say much, they will know when the time comes.

He just said, "From the day after tomorrow, every seven days will be a cycle, a total of seven times, until the year before." All monks in the monastery can participate, but they have to be done in batches. Those who participate are required to take life and death leave. ”

"Abbot, what is life and death leave?" someone asked again.

"Everyone who participates must make a promise to the Buddha and to the Three Jewels that during the seven meditation periods, they must have experience, attainment, and understanding, otherwise they will die in the meditation hall. That's probably what it means. ”

As soon as Su asked this, the scene suddenly became cold.

The content is simple, but the meaning of the representation is heavy.

"If you don't enter, you die. ”

Although this is just a metaphor, it can already explain the meaning of Zen seven.

Then he stopped looking at everyone and walked out of the main hall by himself.

And many mages, outside of the Xingyuan, followed Su Wen.

After the mages went out, many disciples were quiet there for a while, and then they gathered around Xing Xingzheng and started to talk about it.

Let them practice diligently, and everyone will not feel anything. But this life and death is almost the same as life and death. If you don't win, you will die, and if you don't advance, you will die, which makes everyone's hearts feel a little chilly.

Xing Nan looked at the people around him with a smile on his face: "Listen to me, we leave behind the prosperity of the world and all the temptations of red dust, isn't it just to do the things of a great husband and transcend life and death?"

If we can't do it, we will end up being mediocre for a few decades, so what's the point of practicing in this life? What is the point of giving up all the hard work?"

Xingyuan was outside the crowd, and after listening to Xing's words, a smile appeared on his face, and he followed in the direction where Su Wen left.

When the people heard the words of difficulty, this is indeed the truth.

Several people immediately came to Xing Nan: "Senior brother, I want to sign up." ”

And many more are still hesitating.

Xing Nan waved his hand: "Don't be in such a hurry, you go back and think about it first, the abbot also said, tomorrow is the time to sign up." ”

Then Xing Jian also separated from the crowd and left, and several monks followed him, all of whom were disciples who had previously joined him from Lin San Temple to Jingxin Temple.

When the many monks dispersed, there were still a few people in the main hall.

"Senior Brother Xingzheng, what do you think ......?" a monk asked with a slight hesitation.

Xingzheng knew what he meant, and these people, unlike other monks, had a three-year covenant with Suwen, and were not themselves people who aspired to practice liberation. You don't have to be in the temple all the time.

In fact, there are many people who still miss the worldly life in private.

However, although the life of the Pure Heart Temple is tiring, it also makes them feel very fulfilled, especially the practice in the temple, which is extremely respected, which they have not felt before. So they don't quite understand what they're thinking now.

"It's up to you. Cultivation does not necessarily have to be in the monastery, and don't many good believers also practice at home? In the same way, what you cultivate now may not necessarily be useless in the future. After coming here for so long, you have already seen the abbot's supernatural powers, and you know that there are many things in this world that we cannot understand.

Therefore, the practice of this matter, as the abbot said, is completely for oneself and cannot be false. ”

……

The next day, when Su Wen was reading a book, he got the list sent by Xing Nan, and after glancing at it, he crossed out a few of the names, all of which were a few disciples who had just started.

Then he filled in the names of Xingtian and Li Side on it, and then asked Xingnan to inform everyone that they would get up at 4 o'clock tomorrow morning and go to the meditation hall.

Xingtian is at the age of playfulness at this time, although he was accepted as a disciple by Su Wen, and he is usually more well-behaved, but he is still quite playful.

This time Zen Qi, he didn't want to participate. In his mind, he is only nine years old, and he still has a lot of time, taking advantage of the master's Zen seven days, he has no time to care about him, and he has to have a good time.

He all thought about going to the back mountain tomorrow with Jelly Bean, Forrest Gump, and Abu.

At this time, Xing Nan pushed open the door: "Get up at four o'clock tomorrow and go to the meditation hall with your own bedding." ”

Xingtian was a little dazed at the time, and jumped up directly from the kang: "Senior Brother Xingnan, I didn't sign up!"

Xing Nan smiled slightly: "It was the abbot who added your name, and it seems that the abbot is very concerned about your cultivation progress." ”

Yukita's entire face suddenly elongated. If he could, he would rather not be so concerned about his own practice.

But let him go to Su and say that he didn't want to participate, that was impossible. The practice is boring, and the age is young, so the play is heavy. But he still knows good or bad.

After the difficulty of leaving, he screamed, and the whole person fell onto the kang and began to roll.

Although he was not so happy, the next morning, he still got up on time, packed his things and rolled up his futon on his shoulders to go out.

As soon as he went out, he felt a cold wind slapping on his face, which made his sleepiness disappear and make him shiver all over.

It's too early.

Fortunately, the lights in many rooms were turned on at this time, and the light shone through the windows to the outside, somewhat dispelling some of the darkness.

Several figures stepped out of the room, either holding their futon and glancing left and right, before disappearing into the darkness.

The difficulty of walking quickly followed, and the sound of trotting footsteps was heard far away.

Perhaps it was because he often saw the psychological shadow of the dead soul in the wilderness when he was a child, and he was always a little afraid of the dark, especially not like to be alone in the dark.

Maybe it was too eager, maybe it couldn't see the road clearly, and as soon as I left the courtyard of the monk's house, I felt that my foot was tripped, and I fell to the ground with an exclamation.

The futon was rolled up on the shoulders and half of it was put on the chest, which played a cushioning role, but it didn't hurt to fall.

Then he felt that the back collar was lifted, and when he turned around when he was in the air, he saw Su Wen behind him, his lips pursed together.

"Thank you, master. After Xingtian landed, he hurriedly said to Su Wen.

"Let's go. Su Wen walked forward, but his steps were a little slower than usual.

So that Yukita can easily follow him.
