Chapter 23, White Horse Temple
"It really deserves to be the oldest monastery in China! Xiong Yin looked at the White Horse Temple where the Buddha's light shone and muttered to himself.
White Horse Temple, founded in the Eastern Han Dynasty Yongping 11 years, is the first ancient temple in China, the world's famous Garan, is the first temple built after Buddhism was introduced into China, and has the "ancestral garden" and "Shiyuan" of Chinese Buddhism.
"Bold Yin, dare to come to the White Horse Temple, don't want to live?" shouted a great monk in a robe.
"Didn't the Guardian greet you, can I come here to absorb the Buddha's energy?" Xiong Yin said to the monk.
"What Guardian, you don't leave quickly, lest I overdo you. What the monk thought in his heart was: Where did the ghost king come from, he is so strong, he has to be scared away quickly.
"Master, isn't anyone ......?"
"Yongzhu, what are you doing?" another old monk walked out of the mountain gate.
"Elder, there's a ghost here, and I'm chasing him. ”
"Shadow?" the old monk looked at Xiong Yin.
Could it be this person? The Yin Force is really powerful.
"Who are you? Don't you know how to be reincarnated? Why do you want to be nostalgic for this earthly world? The old monk asked, half-persuading, half-persuasive.
"It was the Guardian who asked me to come here to absorb the Buddha's energy. Xiong Yin directly explained his intentions.
"Since you are here, you will go with me to the abbot. When the old monk heard this, it was the abbot who asked him to lead him.
"Thank you, master!"
"Elder, the Buddha Gate is heavy, how can you let ......" Monk Yongzhu still wanted to stop it.
"Needless to say, the abbot wants to see this man. ”
"Can you bear the current Buddha's light?" the old monk asked Xiong Yin.
"It's a little uncomfortable, but it's bearable. Xiong Yin said honestly.
"Then come with me!" After speaking, the old monk led the way in front.
"Abbot, the man has been brought. The old monk said outside the meditation room.
"Let him in, and you all go out. An old man's voice came from inside.
"Yes, Abbot. The old monk left.
Xiong Yin pushed open the door of the meditation room. I saw a withered old man sitting inside, and at first glance I thought it was a dried corpse.
"Meet the abbot of the White Horse Temple. "Xiong Yin is the head.
"You are the person the Guardian said, and it is really intimidating. The old abbot looked at Xiong Yin and said.
"Hey, hey, it's over. This time, I want to ask the abbot to make it convenient for me to absorb some Buddha energy. Xiong Yin explained what he meant.
"The Guardian has informed the old man of this. ”
"It's just that your movement in Fengdu is too big. The abbot stopped and looked at Kumakure.
"So, master, what do you mean?" Xiong Yin knew that the old abbot was going to make a request.
"You can only absorb it in the back mountain, not come out. When the exercises are completed, we must leave immediately, and we must not destroy the tranquility of our Buddhism. ”
"Are you afraid that I will ruin your place! Don't worry, in Fengdu, I have just mastered the use of yin power, and I can't control it. Although it is not considered a great achievement now, it is still possible to restrain the strength. Xiong Yin reassured the abbot.
"In this case, let the benefactor do his own thing!" said the abbot no more.
"Master, dare to ask where is the strongest place in the White Horse Temple?" Xiong Yin did not plan to be in the place where the Buddha power was thin in the back mountain.
"Donor, you are the body of the Yin Soul, even if your Yin Power is strong, it is impossible to absorb it in the strongest place of the Buddha power in our temple. "The abbot doesn't intend to let him go to a place where the Buddha's power is strong.
"After all, you're still afraid that I'll break the things in the White Horse Temple!" Xiong Yin said with disdain.
"Buddhism is quiet, and naturally it should be quiet. The abbot said.
"Dare to ask if the abbot is sincere in serving the Buddha?" Xiong Yin asked.
"I dare not say that I am the first in the world, but I dare to say that my heart is sincere. The abbot was very unhappy with Xiong Yin's suspicion of his sincerity.
"I heard that Buddhism pays attention to tranquility and immaculateness, and I would like to ask the abbot what is tranquility and immaculateness?" Xiong Yin asked for Buddhist advice.
"Nature is clean and clean, and there is no desire. The abbot couldn't help but despise this soul with amazing yin power.
"Clean, the temple is clean, the temple is clean, the temple is clean, and the abbot has no desires?" Xiong Yin then asked.
"The old man naturally has no desires and no desires. "The abbot shows that he is clean of mind to the Buddha.
"Is the Yin Soul clean?" asked Xiong Yin, pointing to himself.
"This is not pure. The abbot thought about it, but still told the truth.
"Then why am I here in the quiet Buddha Gate?" Xiong Yin looked at the abbot.
"It's the Guardian. The abbot said without even thinking about it.
"Lord Guardian, but you are a member of the Buddhist Sect?"
"No, he's ......," the old abbot was about to explain.
"You listen to the orders of people who are not Buddhists, and let me, an impure person, enter this quiet place, right?" Xiong Yin looked at the abbot with a sneer.
"Well, but he ......," the abbot felt the need to make it clear.
"It is impure for you to listen to the words of others and do worldly things; it is insincere for you to let unclean people into a quiet place for fear of the will of the guardians; it is a good name for you to speak quietly and only focus on the superficial; it is good for you to refuse what others ask for and be sent by others without refining the teachings of the Buddha. Xiong Yin criticized.
"It's not what you say. The abbot was speechless.
"Why does the abbot practice Buddhism?" Xiong Yin said.
"Naturally, it's early to ascend to Bliss!" the abbot hurriedly said when he saw Xiong Yin change the subject.
"If you have no desires and no desires, why do you have to ascend to Bliss early?" Xiong Yin looked at the blushing abbot.
"This ......"
"The Buddha said that the body is a stinky skin. Why are you wearing such a brightly colored robe?" Xiong Yin pointed to the abbot's ornate robe.
"It's ......," the abbot held his breath.
"The Buddha said that the wine and meat passed through the intestines, and the Buddha stayed in his heart. Why do you have to maintain this treasure temple day and night, and burn incense day and night? Is it because you are sincere?"
"Nature is ......" The abbot thought of these two sentences, and his original intention was to let the Buddha cultivators remember the Buddha, and worldly things are not important.
"Why don't you say it, Master Abbot?" asked Xiong Yin.
"Monk, I have been practicing Buddhism for decades, and I never thought that I would be broken by a ghost today. The old abbot also wanted to open it.
"It's a monk and I have a statue, thank you for opening my mouth. The old abbot got up and bowed to Kumakure.
"The place where the Buddha's power is strongest is in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and the donor can walk out at will during the temple. Amitabha!" the old abbot shouted a Buddha name.
"Thank you, Master, I wish Master an early ascension to Bliss!" Xiong Yin said with a smile.
"The benefactor has tormented the monk and me, may I ask, how can I truly conform to the Buddha's intentions?" the abbot wanted to get an answer.
"If you go and look at all living beings, you may have the answer! Amitabha. Xiong Yin also replied with a Buddha name.
"Then I'll go down the mountain......" the abbot wanted to say that he felt when he went down the mountain.
"Where are the sentient beings? Xiao Ke went to the back mountain first. Xiong Yin said a word, and then left the meditation room.
"I am also one of the sentient beings, and this monastery is also the land of sentient beings! Thank you, donor!" the abbot bowed in the direction of the back mountain.
