Stepping on the muddy mountain road after the rain and returning to the Reclining Buddha Temple, Liang Shengxiao immediately went to negotiate with the monks in the temple. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liang Shengxiao told the monks that the road was closed in the shower, and he and Leng Qing could not go down the mountain, and asked the female guests if they could stay overnight in the Reclining Buddha Temple. The monk told Liang Shengxiao that if a female guest wanted to stay in the temple, she needed to get the abbot's approval.

So, Liang Shengxiao asked the current abbot of the Reclining Buddha Temple if he was still Master Huijue? The monk replied: Yes.

Liang Shengxiao then asked Master Huijue where he was in the temple now? The monk told Liang Shengxiao: "Back to the two donors, the abbot traveled half a year ago and has not returned. ”

Hearing this, Liang Shengxiao and Leng Qing couldn't help but look at each other for a moment, and they both saw helplessness and disappointment in each other's eyes.

But Liang Shengxiao was unwilling to give up, and turned his eyes to look at the tall but charitable monk, and asked in a clear and humble tone as always: "Then may I ask who is the master in charge of the temple now?"

What answered Liang Shengxiao was the monk with his hands folded and said indifferently: "It is the dustless master who was invited by the abbot to give a lecture in the temple." ”

After listening to the monk's words, Liang Shengxiao said in a thoughtful whisper: "Master Wuchen ......" The words were slightly paused, but seeing Liang Shengxiao's eyes suddenly looked at the monk with burning eyes, he asked with a hint of urgency in his tone: "Dare to ask, but you wrote the "Four Seas Wilderness Sutra", and eleven years ago, he also entered the palace of the Great Liang Kingdom to be the dustless master who lectured on the scriptures of the current saint of the Great Liang??"

In response to Liang Shengxiao, the monk with folded hands nodded affirmatively: "Exactly." ”

At this point, Liang Sheng raised his hand suddenly, put his hands together and bowed to the tall but charitable-looking monk, and then said to the monk with an expectant tone: "In this case, please tell the master where Master Wuchen is now?"

The monk who always maintained the posture of folding his hands did not ask Liang Shengxiao why he was so eager to find Master Wuchen, he only looked up at the sky, and then continued to say to Liang Shengxiao with an indifferent face: "At this hour, Master Wuchen should meditate and meditate with the monks in the temple in the large meditation hall of the East Road Courtyard. ”

"Dare to ask the master how to go to the Grand Meditation Hall?" the tall but charity-looking monk had just finished speaking, and Liang Shengxiao couldn't wait to ask like this.

But seeing that the monk with his hands folded stretched out a palm, he turned to point to a bluestone path on the left side of Liang Shengxiao, and said indifferently: "Go straight along this road, turn left at the end, and the end of the road is the Dharma Temple." Turn to the east side of the Dharma Temple, walk straight for a while, go around the Great Lent Hall, and then walk out of a path, and at the end of the path is the main meditation hall of the main temple. ”

waited until the monk finished speaking in an indifferent but serious tone, Liang Shengxiao folded his hands and said in a humble tone: "Thank you master for your guidance." ”

In response to Liang Shengxiao's thanks, it was the tall but charitable-looking monk who folded his hands together again and said a low Buddha call: "Amitabha Buddha ......"

Liang Shengxiao turned his head to look at Leng Qing, who had been standing quietly behind him, and said to Leng Qing in a gentle voice: "Leng girl, let's go." ”

At this point, Leng Qing naturally had no objections, and immediately followed Liang Shengxiao.

According to the guidance of the monk, Liang Shengxiao and Leng Qing walked straight along the bluestone path, turned left at the end of the road, and continued to the end of the road, which is the location of the Dharma Hall of the Reclining Buddha Temple. Because the Reclining Buddha Temple sits in the north and faces south, and the halls in the temple also sit in the north and face south, so the so-called east side of the Dharma Hall is actually the right side of the Dharma Temple.

Leng Qing had been holding back her voice all the way before, but at this moment, after turning to the right side of the Damo Hall and stepping on another bluestone path, Leng Qing finally asked Liang Shengxiao in a slightly puzzled voice: "Does Liang Gongzi know that dustless master?"

Although Leng Qing had been standing quietly when Liang Shengxiao negotiated with the tall but charitable monk before, Leng Qing could see it clearly when Liang Shengxiao heard the words "Dustless Master" before.

Since Leng Qing met Liang Shengxiao, Leng Qing had never seen Liang Shengxiao look as urgent as she had just now, it was like encountering an auspicious fortune from the sky that had not been encountered in a hundred years.

Leng Qing came to this other world by accident, so Leng Qing naturally didn't know who the dustless master was, but Leng Qing thought about it, and only felt that what could make Liang Shengxiao react so urgently was nothing more than that Liang Shengxiao might know the dustless master.

And Liang Shengxiao really lived up to Leng Qing's expectations, when even Chao Leng Qing smiled and responded: "Master Wuchen is a Buddhist genius who has not been encountered in a hundred years on the Tiancheng Continent! In the Tiancheng Continent, almost everyone knows the name of Master Wuchen! There is a saying that 'listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years', if you can listen to Master Wuchen's lectures, the same is true." And ......"

At this point, Liang Shengxiao suddenly paused, undoubtedly arousing Leng Qing's curiosity. But Leng Qing didn't rush to ask, just waited quietly, waiting for Liang Shengxiao to continue the conversation by herself.

On that side, seeing that Leng Qing didn't ask, Liang Shengxiao didn't feel embarrassed, only looked at Leng Qing with a smile on his eyebrows, and continued in a somewhat proud tone: "Master Wuchen is still an old friend of the family teacher. ”

After listening to Liang Shengxiao's words added after selling Xiaguanzi, Leng Qing suddenly understood. So, I saw Leng Qing pursing her lips and looking at Liang Shengxiao with a smile, and smiled in a clear tone: "I see, it's ......."

However, after saying a few words, Liang Shengxiao and Leng Qing had already walked to the door of the Lent Hall of the Reclining Buddha Temple. Bypass the closed Lent Hall and follow a path to the end of the path where the Grand Meditation Hall of Wat Pho is located.

The large meditation hall of Wat Pho covers a large area, and along the base of the wall is a gray futon placed against the wall. In the center of the hall is a round table covered with yellow cloth, a futon wrapped in yellow cloth on the ground next to the table, and a wood-carved statue of Jizo Bodhisattva and several glazed lotus lamps are placed on the table.

Jizo Bodhisattva rides a beast under his body, the image of a cluster of beasts in one, gathering the advantages of all things as one, there are tiger heads, single horns, dog ears, dragon body, lion tail, unicorn feet, it looks like a dragon is not a dragon, like a tiger is not a tiger, like a lion is not a lion, like a unicorn is not a unicorn, like a dog is not a dog. This beast is the truth.

Di Ting is a spiritual beast lurking under the Jizo Bodhisattva Sutra, which can identify all things in the world by listening, especially good at listening to people's hearts, in the famous book "Journey to the West" there is a story about Di Ting to distinguish the true and false Monkey King.

For example, Confucius in the Analects believes that Zilu is the same, and "a piece of words can break the prison". The dragon body table is auspicious, the tiger head represents wisdom and bravery, the dog ear table is good at hearing, the lion tail table has patience, the unicorn foot table is flat and stable, and the good is the treasure, it is the animal in people's imagination, and it is also called "nine not elephants".

When Liang Shengxiao and Leng Qing first arrived outside the door of the large meditation hall, the quaint two open doors of the large meditation hall were tightly closed, but through a row of open windows on both sides of the main meditation hall door, they could see dozens of monks in the large meditation hall sitting quietly on the futons placed along the wall roots in the hall and meditating with their eyes closed.

Leng Qing didn't know anything about meditation, and originally planned to go up and knock on the door, but was stopped by Liang Shengxiao when she raised her hand, saying that she couldn't disturb the monks' meditation. Leng Qing thought about it and felt that this was true, so she waited quietly outside the large meditation hall with Liang Shengxiao.

Because there was a shower not long ago, and although the sky is now clear and the sun is showing again, the water vapor content in the air is so high that even the air inhaled into the lungs seems to be wet.

Although Leng Qing is a native of Jiangnan, she has lived a misty life since she was a child, but Leng Qing doesn't like this wet feeling very much, and always feels as if her whole body is soaked in water vapor, and she is uncomfortable.

Xu was trying to divert his attention, and maybe he was a little bored waiting, so he suddenly began to look at the environment near the big meditation hall.

The large meditation hall is built against the backdrop of a mountain, and behind the large meditation hall is a high hillside. Near the main meditation hall is a circle of trees of different species, and even the branches and leaves of those trees are dripping with water droplets, even if the rain stops for a short time.

Leng Qingyuan also wanted to pass the time by looking at the environment around the big meditation hall, but the environment in this temple was very simple, Rao is Leng Qing looked at the past little by little, and it only took a few breaths to see the environment around the big meditation hall thoroughly. In desperation, Leng Qing had no choice but to continue to stare at the monks who were meditating and meditating in the big meditation hall.

Not long after, I suddenly saw that the monks in the main meditation hall who had been meditating with their eyes closed opened their eyes one after another, and then got up one after another and left the futon, and began to walk in circles around the statue of Jizo Bodhisattva placed in the center of the hall.

Leng Qing stood outside the window and watched, stunned for a while before remembering and asking Liang Shengxiao in a low voice, "What are they doing here?"

"The masters are running incense. Almost without thinking, Liang Shengxiao answered Leng Qing's question in such a low voice.

However, Leng Qing is not a person who cultivates Buddhism, and she doesn't understand Buddhist terminology, but after listening to Liang Shengxiao's words, she was even more dazed, and repeated with a somewhat stunned expression: "Running incense??"

In fact, Leng Qing asked this question, not because he had to know the answer, and it could even be said that Leng Qing just asked casually. As soon as Clinker Leng Qing asked this question, Liang Shengxiao immediately began to explain to Leng Qing in a serious manner-

In the meditation hall, the so-called running incense is also called walking incense. Running incense is not about running, but actually walking.

Ordinary people talk about "Zen sitting", but in fact, "Zen" is not just sitting, but also "walking", and when it is done, it is called "running incense".

Why do you want to run incense? It's because after sitting for a long time, you have to come down and move your body. It's not okay to sit for a long time, it's not okay to run for a long time, sitting and walking must be just right, so that it is most beneficial to hard work.

Sitting incense is very important, running incense is also very important, sitting incense and running incense are all causes to help the Tao, all in order to regulate the body and use kung fu well. If you sit for too long and don't run incense or don't run incense enough, your body's qi and blood are not smooth, and you can easily get sick.

The posture of running incense is to swing left and right, that is, the left hand swings for three points, and the right hand throws seven points.

Why is the right hand thrown and the amplitude is larger than that of the left hand? Because the running incense is going around the right, the body naturally produces a force to throw out to the left and outward, and if the right hand is thrown forward to the right, it just counteracts the outward force of the body, so that the body maintains balance. Although the reason is very simple, some people say that they are left and right, and such people know at a glance that they have not participated in the study.

The most important thing to run incense is the size of the amount, not too small, not too large.

This quantity is made up of two aspects, one is time, and the other is speed.

Regarding the time of running incense, it is generally determined according to the time of sitting incense, sitting incense is long, sitting incense is short, sitting incense is short, about two to one. After eating, it takes a certain amount of time to digest food, so it is relatively long, generally more than three quarters of an hour, otherwise the stomach will be swollen when you sit there.

Regarding the speed, after the meal, the food is digested, and at this time the running fragrance should be the slowest, and gradually get faster in the back. In general, it should be neither fast nor slow.

As for the question of quantity, in fact, we must grasp it well, and we know our own situation best. If it's too slow, go to the fast circle, and if it's too fast, go to the slow circle, or go out and take a break. There are so many people in the meditation hall that it's impossible to take care of everyone just right.

There is also a big misunderstanding about running incense, that is, "running well and sitting well".

Originally, this sentence is good, running well is not only about sitting well, but also about working hard! But the so-called "running well" should mean running just right, that is, running a small amount is not too small, which just plays a role in regulating the body. However, some people misunderstand "running well" as running too much, thinking that the more you run, the faster you run, the better.

With this misunderstanding, some vinas shouted "run well, sit well", holding incense boards in their hands to urge people to run. There are even more people who don't need to be urged, and they take the initiative to run more and run for a long time.

Of course, it's okay to run hard, but you can only run two or three laps, and if you run too much, you will run too much. When you sit down, of course, you will feel very relaxed, as if you are in good spirits, but in fact, this is an illusion, just like when you are tired from work, you will feel relaxed when you sit down and rest. In fact, the body at this time has already consumed a lot.

It would be a mistake to assume that this is a good seat.

As a result of running like this, after a long time, the body will run weak, the running will be lost, and the spirit will be tired, and the work will of course be useless!

At this point, it's too late to regret it! Why? Because hard work is based on the body!

The process of hard work itself is a process of continuous adjustment of the body and mind, from weak to strong, from poor to good, from disease to health, only when the whole body and mind are transformed in a better and better direction can we talk about the progress of the work!

If the work is good, the body must be good, and there is absolutely no bad health and good work.

If you run well, you can sit well and work hard, and if you don't run well, you will lose money, and you can't talk about hard work at all. For those who can't run well, if they can recognize their mistakes, they can still be saved, if they can't recognize this mistake, the next sentence will be difficult to say.

It's such a simple running incense, but it can lead to different results. So those who run incense are not careful!
