Su Wen and Xinghui first saluted the Buddha statue, respectfully offered three incense sticks, and then followed Jinglian into another room from the side, which only had a broken bed, a set of bedding, a broken cabinet, and a desk and a chair. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The temple is very dilapidated and very small, with only one Buddha statue with the paint off, and there is not even a tribute. It's right next to the city, but there's no electricity, and there are candles. It is not even a temple in the eyes of many people, but Su Wen does not dare to despise it at all.

The mountain is not high, there are fairies and spirits. The temple is not big or small, there is such a great virtue on the top of thousands of things, worthy of respect.

No matter how big the temple is, no matter how solemn it is, no matter how many pilgrims there are, if there is no such figure, it is just a shell.

It's just that Su Wen still doesn't understand why Pure Lotus is like this. You must know that with his Dharma cultivation, if he presides over a temple, he can at least educate one party, why should he be trapped here, for decades.

When it comes to the current realm of Su Wen, he does not lie to others, and raises questions when he has them. At that moment, he asked Jinglian straightforwardly: "Old Master, I don't know why you have been like this all these years?" If you preside over one side and educate the people of a place, it is also a matter of immeasurable merit. ”

Jinglian listened to Su Wen's inquiry, and did not speak, first led the two of them to the chair and sat down, then narrowed her eyes, recalled her past and said: "The two mages have doubts, it doesn't hurt to tell you, after all, the old monk can't let go." ”

"It's been about 80 years, and there was a woman who did this here, and that was the biological mother of the old monk. Although the old monk had never seen it, he had heard from others that she was originally beautiful, but later fell to this place in the middle of her family. Later, there was a man with great demeanor, and she promised him in her heart.

One night later, the man said that he would come back and take her as a concubine, and she waited with joy. As a result, I waited for a long time for my lover to return, but a few months later, I found out that I was pregnant. At that time, she was persuaded to kill it, but she made up her mind to wait for the man to return.

Later, she kept waiting, thinking in her heart, and getting thinner and thinner. Then I was born and went the next day.

Later, one of her sisters, whom I called Aunt Zhao at the time, sent me to Fu'an Temple, not far outside the city, where I grew up.

I had a talent for studying Buddhism, and my master said I had wisdom roots, and when I was in my twenties, I was already much better than my peers. It's just that I don't know what happened in my heart, when I was a child, Aunt Zhao wanted to go to the temple to see me, but the monks in the temple didn't let her in, thinking that she had polluted the pure land of Buddhism.

I think she's very nice, and I don't understand why a person's past is a reflection of his true nature in the eyes of others. Without her, I don't know what I would have become. Maybe it's the green skin that mixes the fence, or maybe it's the pickpocket in the market.

If it weren't for her, I wouldn't know where I came from, I wouldn't know who my parents were.

After that, I left Fu'an Temple and went to various monasteries to study, and I studied for more than ten years, and I finally understood. It's not that Aunt Zhao is impure, it's that people's hearts are impure. I think that since they don't let them in, if they don't teach them how to get liberated, I have to teach them. Purify sentient beings, purify sentient beings, all sentient beings. ”

When Jinglian said this, Su Wen was deeply moved, stood up and saluted him respectfully: "Dade is really a bodhisattva's heart, let me be ashamed." ”

Xinghui also hurriedly followed Su Wen and saluted.

Jinglian waved her hand: "The two of you are polite, you don't have to be like this." ”

Su Wen said, "This ceremony is not for sentient beings, but for the sake of the two of us, we have seen the true meaning of the Dharma. ”

Jinglian shook her head and said, "There are thousands of roads, and there are thousands of candidates. There are 84,000 avenues, all of which are open. ”

The two sat down, and Su Wen didn't ask about the rest of the matter. Looking at the situation, it can be seen that Jinglian has not had a good time here, but he is stable in his heart, and he has practiced Buddhism to this state. I'm afraid that the preacher of Wuzhen Temple is also far worse than him.

The two slept here all night and woke up at dawn the next day.

At this time, Jinglian had just gotten up and had to do morning class.

Su Wen and the two also came to the Buddha statue in the main hall, reciting the scriptures silently in their hearts, their lips moving slightly, but they did not make a sound.

After the morning class, Jinglian asked the two of them, "The morning lessons given by the two mages are different from ours, so I don't know what they have learned?" ”

Su Wen Zhengse said: "What the poor monk learned is the inheritance of Zen Buddhism, the mountain is the same, but the path is different. ”

Jinglian frowned and thought: "I've seen records about Zen Buddhism, but I haven't seen the inheritance for thousands of years, but the old monk met it today." I also asked the Master to help me with my doubts. ”

Su Wen asked, "Please teach me, where is the Buddha?" ”

"Buddhas are everywhere."

Su Wen said: "The Buddha is in the heart, that is, the heart is the Buddha; Seeing nature with a clear mind, seeing nature and becoming a Buddha. ”

Jinglian thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's really different from me, and I ask the mage to teach me." ”

The two of them sat in front of the main hall and discussed the Fa.

Su Wen explained the "Diamond Sutra" to him, and after listening to a paragraph, Jinglian said: "I have read this "Diamond Sutra", but I don't understand it very well, and it is different from my method. ”

Then Su Wen explained in detail, and Jinglian nodded from time to time on the side, or closed her eyes to think.

Xinghui was a little bored listening to it, he had heard these things many times, so he went outside the door to see the scenery outside.

When I went out, I saw a back far away, and I saw that it was a woman.

In addition, there is a pocket at the gate of the courtyard.

Xinghui walked over and saw that it was some breakfast, porridge and side dishes, and it was for three people.

Looking up at the figure in the distance, a young woman wearing a pink dress. Looking at the figure and clothes, it should be the woman with a knife mouth and a tofu heart last night, and she can't help but admire Jinglian even more.

After the two finished talking about the "Diamond Sutra", the time was almost noon, and then they woke up, they had been talking about each other for so long.

And Xinghui was leaning on the side and napping.

Awakened by the movement of the two of them getting up, Xinghui opened her eyes and said to the two: "In the morning, a female benefactor brought some breakfast, but it was already cold at the moment. ”

Jinglian smiled: "The poor monk is full. Falsel for food, far better than all the food in the world. ”

Su Wen then smiled and said: "But the skin must not be destroyed lightly, this meal still has to be eaten, and it doesn't hurt if it's cold." ”

After eating the breakfast sent in the morning, Su asked the old monk, "Does the old monk have any pen and paper, and the poor monk wrote down this "Diamond Sutra" and left it here for the master's reference. ”

Jinglian saluted and said, "Then thank you Master." ”

At noon, Jinglian found a pen and paper, Su Wen stayed in the room to write scriptures, and asked Xinghui to go out to help Jinglian repair the house. After all, this house is now a problem for all occupants, and if it were elsewhere, I am afraid it would have been demolished long ago. In a city like Yuzhou City, it is believed that it is because of the influence of Master Jinglian here for decades.

Although most people in the world are puzzled, there are always people who admire his heart and deal with him.

Su Wen could have exchanged merit directly for a copy of the "Diamond Sutra" annotated by a high monk, but out of admiration for Jinglian, he would rather copy a copy for him by hand, and write some of his own insights and experiences at the back, and write it completely.

This "Diamond Sutra Commentary" Su Wen wrote while thinking, the original 5176 words, plus the annotations, Su Wen wrote more than 20,000 words, dense small characters covered with several pieces of paper, a full day and a half to write.

Jinglian took the "Diamond Sutra" written by Su Wen himself, solemnly put it aside, and then asked Su Wen about Zen Buddhism and Pure Heart Temple.

After all, he has been here for decades, and he would rather live in this small temple than Fu'an Temple, and the monks in the temple will not associate with him. Coupled with the spread of his reputation as a master of Flower Street, there have been fewer exchanges with monks for decades.

From the exchange, Su Wen could feel that Jinglian had a deep understanding of Buddhism, and invited Jinglian to teach the Dharma at Jingxin Temple.

"The old monk has lived for 80 years, but he has never opened the altar to preach the Fa, and when I am not far away, I will definitely tell the world what I have learned." Jinglian said to Su Wen.

After finishing the morning class on the third morning of the second day of their visit, Jinglian said to the two of them, "Today there is a good faith who wants to be reborn in the Pure Land, and I ask you two to help me." ”

Su Wen immediately said, "I am willing to walk with the old master." ”
