Chapter 251: Everyone in Lingshan Temple defected
Su Wen spent two days sorting out the "Wuxiang Ring" and "Baizhang Qing Rules", and changed some things that he thought did not fit the current social situation.
With the advancement of technology, even monasteries have been greatly affected outside of the world. It can be said that the "Baizhang Qing Rules" was an epoch-making measure at that time, and it also played a role in laying the foundation for the development of Zen Buddhism later, but with the change of time, it is inevitable that there will be many places that are out of date, and later generations have been updating them. And Su Wen did the same.
After sorting out all this, Su Wen stood in front of the window and looked outside, and suddenly remembered Ma Tianlai, this lay disciple who he had collected was thrown to Deyan and Depu after returning to the temple, and he had been busy with Qing rules for the past few days, but he didn't know how he was doing.
Thinking of this, Su Wen went out to find Ma Tian, and pushed open the door of Deyan's room, only to find that it was empty. After thinking about it for a while, a few people were not in the room at this time, and it would not be in the front yard, it could only be in the back mountain.
Su Wen came to the back mountain and saw that Deyan Depu Ma Tian and those children were all together, Deyan Depu was foaming at the mouth and talking about something, and many of the children around him were envious on their faces.
Su Wen walked aside and listened for a while, Deyan was talking about some of his experiences with Depp going to act. Many children worship celebrities, and it is very happy to be able to get close to the stars in their minds, not to mention that Deyan Depp also participated in the performance himself, this experience makes many children's eyes shine ♂.
"Ahem," Su Wen walked behind everyone and coughed lightly.
"Senior brother!" "Abbot!" "Master!"
Many children turned their heads to see Su Wen standing up to say hello, and Ma Tian's voice was completely drowned out in it.
"You don't have to worry about me, Ma Tian is here." Su Wen nodded with the others and turned around and walked in the direction of the steps.
"Master!" Ma Tian came to Su Wen's side and shouted weakly.
"Sit down." Su Wen pulled Ma Tian to sit down on the steps, where he could see the water in the lotus pond reflecting the sunlight and sparkling as the wind blew.
"How are you doing in the temple these days?" Su Wen asked.
"It's good, it's just wonderful. There is TV to watch and a lot of good food, much better than in the village. Hearing Su Wen's question, Ma Tian immediately said with some excitement. For a child who grew up in the mountains, life in the temple is already very good. Moreover, Deyan and Depp are about the same age as him, and there are so many children of the same age on the mountain, he has never felt lonely.
"You can't fall behind in your Dharma practice." Su Wen admonished.
"Yes, master." Ma Tian suddenly became excited again: "Master, I know what 'Zen Yue' is to eat." ”
"Oh?" Su Wen turned his head to look over, Ma Tian was able to enter meditation so quickly? This kid's talent is truly remarkable. You must know that only a few people such as Xingzang and Xingyuan can enter Dingzhong now, or because they have started practicing for a long time.
However, after listening to Ma Tian's feelings and what he saw and heard at that time, Su Wen was sure that Ma Tian was indeed able to enter meditation.
Su Wen knew that Ma Tian had been able to reach such a state, so he didn't say more, and waved his hand to let him continue to play with Deyan and the other children. Although he will pay attention to Ma Tian's practice, he will not deliberately force it. After all, he is still a child, and many things are still difficult to understand, and the current entry has satisfied Su Wen. In addition to studying with others, you will also learn cultural courses and martial arts. After all, Ma Tian was born with a newspaper and was very suitable for walking in the world instead of the Pure Heart Temple, and his talent should not be wasted.
After Ma Tian left, Suwen Station went down the mountain step by step to check the current progress of the construction site. It was at this time that Xingbai came running.
"Abbot, more than 20 monks came outside, saying that they wanted to join the Pure Heart Temple."
"Where did they come from?" Su Wen was very surprised to hear the news, you must know that practice is not a job, choosing a place to practice is a big deal, even Guangjue and Guangde have been in the temple for a long time, and I have heard many times that the temple has not joined the Pure Heart Temple, and even after Su Wen went down the mountain, he said goodbye and left, and went to other temples to study. At this time, there were more than 20 monks who directly wanted to join the Pure Heart Temple, which really surprised Su Wen.
"They said they were from Lingshan Temple." Xingbai said in return.
……
Xiang Nan and the others stood in the mountain gate of the Pure Heart Temple, and their hearts were shocked inexplicably.
When Fang passed through the mountain gate, everyone's hearts were rippling, and all kinds of past and emotions in their hearts emerged. It would be fine if it was one person or two, but everyone was like this, which surprised them greatly, and at the same time, a sense of awe rose in their hearts, this Pure Heart Temple was really extraordinary.
And after entering the Pure Heart Temple, my heart gradually calmed down, and the guilt and uneasiness in my heart in the past two days were all suppressed. As my heart began to calm down, I seemed to have a burden on my body.
It takes a lot of courage to leave the original temple and come to the Northland to join another temple without knowing what is going on, and you don't even know if the other party will accept it. and the words of Xiangquan on the same day, which also made everyone feel guilty and uneasy in the past two days.
But when they entered the temple, all kinds of anxiety dissipated a lot.
Looking at the landscape in the temple one by one, I was amazed. There is still construction work in the distance, and the main hall is in front of you. Although the main hall is much smaller than Lingshan Temple, you can see that after all the buildings in the temple are completed, the landscape in the Jingxin Temple must be very solemn and majestic.
After explaining the intention of the difficulty, he did not say much else. It's useless to ask what to do now, but when you join the Pure Heart Temple, you will naturally understand. He believed that there were definitely not enough people in such a large temple, and the defection of himself and others would not be rejected.
Xingzheng looked at the monks from the side, the oldest was in his early thirties, most of them were in their twenties, and some were even less than twenty. And judging from the words of these people, they are much more clever than themselves and others. After all, it has only been nearly three months since he and others joined the temple, and they have just broken their previous bad habits. Although he also memorized two scriptures and began to practice meditation, the temperament and bearing of the Buddhist disciples on his body were incomparable to those of the other party.
Similarly, when facing the other party, Xingzheng also has some sense of urgency in his heart.
Although there were no gangs in the temple, there were few people in the past, and the low-level disciples still had emotional tendencies in their hearts. Originally, there were only about twenty disciples in the Xingzi generation, and the largest number of them were those who were forcibly tempered by Su Wen. But now there are more than 20 people on the other side, which is more than all the original Xingzi disciples combined. And one by one, they have been practicing for a much longer time than themselves and others, and I don't know if it will have an impact on the status of themselves and others.
The people in the audience had their own thoughts, and they didn't wait long to see Xing Bai walking from a distance behind another monk in a black robe. Although everyone couldn't see clearly from a distance, they also guessed that the abbot was coming.
When the arrivals approached, they found that it was indeed the abbot of the Pure Heart Temple they had seen that day, although the clothes were different, but the posture when walking made many people in the field remember deeply. At the same time, after the other party wore a robe, it was also more solemn, so that everyone no longer looked at the surrounding scenery, but concentrated their minds. The time has come to decide their future.
"I've seen the abbot!"
"I've seen Master Suwen!" Everyone greeted Su and saluted.
"Amitabha, I've seen you." Su Wen swept his gaze over everyone's faces, and a few people had a vague impression, as if they had seen them that day. But I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, so I couldn't remember it.
"You want to enter my Pure Heart Temple?" Su Wen asked straight to the point.
"Yes, Master. After I saw the master's demeanor that day, I have never forgotten it. I hope that the Master will allow me to practice under the Pure Heart Temple and learn the Dharma. Xiang Nan said respectfully to Su Wen in front of everyone.
"What about Lin San Temple?" Su Wen didn't have an expression on his face, and asked rhetorically.
"I have been waiting in Lingshan Temple for many years, and I know that if I don't have the opportunity, it will be difficult to achieve the fruit position in my life. Although I couldn't bear to leave in my heart, I had to do this in order to get the Fa-rectification. We admired the Dharma and begged the abbot to take it in. ”
"We are eager for the Fa-rectification, and I ask the abbot to take it in." Everyone bowed in unison.
"Amitabha." Su Wen shouted the Buddha's name: "My Zen Buddhism is different from other sects, and it is different from what you have learned, do you understand?" ”
"There are thousands of avenues, and different paths lead to the same end. Although what we have learned before is different from Zen Buddhism, it has laid the foundation. Xiang said in a respectful voice.
Su Wen nodded, indeed. All the sects of Buddhism have different paths to the same end, and what they have learned is not useless. When the monk in front of him spoke, everyone did not have the slightest objection, and it seemed that everyone was headed by him. And this person has clear eyes, speaks in an orderly manner, and his mind turns quickly, but he is a talent. It's just that what they achieve in the end depends on their creation.
"In this case, you can first register in my temple, and your daily practice is the same as that of everyone in the temple, and you can learn the method of Zen Buddhism, and you can also ask all the teachers for advice. After a while, if your thoughts remain the same, you will enter the door of my Pure Heart Temple and walk the avenue. Su Wen thought about it and said to everyone.
"Thank you, Master." When everyone heard Su Wen's words, they were immediately overjoyed.
The joy on the face of the martyrdom cannot be concealed. In any case, the avenue is what he wants. (To be continued.) )
