Bai Lian and her parents came to the small temple to explain their intentions to the abbot. The abbot of the www.biquge.info is a nun who is less than fifty years old, and she is the only one in this small temple. It is said that she was a failed student in the college entrance examination, and she was not admitted to college because of a difference of one point, and she couldn't think of it for a while, and she went crazy for two years, and then said that she would not get married and was determined to become a monk. She was known to be the first person in the land to become a nun.

The abbot asked Bai Lian, "You are young and so beautiful, why do you want to become a monk?" ”

Bai Lian said: "I have seen through the red dust. ”

Abbot: "But you are married, don't you like your husband?" ”

White Lotus: "I love my husband more than my life!" ”

Abbot: "In that case, can you leave him and your parents behind?" ”

Bai Lian: "They all want me to live, I came here just to live, to give them a normal me." ”

Abbot: "It seems that you not only have him in your heart, but also me, Hongchen is not broken, and his heart is not dead." Escape into the empty door, to achieve selfless love, you have to think about it. ”

White Lotus: "My heart has been decided! Please shave me. ”

White Lotus's parents are in tears.

Abbot: "Since you insist on becoming a monk, then stay for the time being." I'll talk about shaving in a year. Within a year, you don't need a legal name, and you will be called White Lotus. Amitabha! ”

White Lotus burns incense and worships Buddha every day in accordance with the rules of the temple and under the guidance of the master. She took the initiative to do the cooking alone. Just a small temple for two people, the rules are not very much, the work is not very tiring, and the abbot treats her very well. There were many Buddhist scriptures in the cabinet in the abbot's room, and she took a few to read them one by one. Pilgrims are scattered. She felt like she had really entered a quiet realm that was different from what she used to be. This kind of realm can allow her to control her emotions very clearly, whether she wants to or not, she can get in and out.

Cut through the fog and see the sunny day. Bai Lian thought of Wanjin, and then thought of victims like Wanjin, wounded people like herself, and suffering people like the world. Not just one, it's many. How many people in the world endure troubles. A lamp illuminates a house, and a bright moon illuminates the whole world. This bright moon is Buddhism, it is Western Bliss, and it is Amitabha!

The white lotus suddenly brightened. She thought of her several miraculous deaths, she used to think that God saved her, it was Guanyin Bodhisattva who saved her, and now she believes more why she should save her, it is because of the call of the Buddha, it is for her to do something to awaken the world.

The white pigeons often come to see the white lotus, and the round trip is only thirty miles. They hover over the temple like fairies flying over the temple. The ace pigeon Bai Xue wanted to find Wanjin, but he was afraid of being punished by heaven, because everything that Bai Lian or Wanjin experienced was a certainty. The ace pigeon Bai Xue knows that she is a fairy, but she can't show up without permission, and she can't do it. Days can't be shortcuts, just like life must go through hardships and be tempered into steel.

The master asked Bai Lian to recite the scriptures and mantras and explain the scriptures to her. When Bai Lian heard the wonderful understanding, she felt like she was being held up by someone, and she was fluttering, just like the initial feeling when she jumped off the cliff. The master said, be calm, no matter how far you cultivate, be calm, don't think about what you feel, as soon as you feel it, you will enter the demonic barrier. She felt that it was too difficult to memorize scriptures and mantras, how many times to learn to recite a scripture, how many times to learn to recite a mantra, and how long it would take to memorize it.

I don't know what level the master has cultivated, but I see that she moves as usual, and there are no waves in her speech and demeanor.

Bai Lian likes to read the "Sutra of the Altar of the Six Patriarchs" the most, and feels that this scripture is not confined to the mysteries, but points directly to the hearts of the people. She wondered when she would be able to carry forward Buddhism in her own way like the Sixth Patriarch Huineng. She suddenly retracted to herself, feeling that it was a demon of arrogance swelling in her blood.

One day, Bai Lian begged the master: "Master, I always feel that if we stay in this temple in the deep mountains and chant mantras all day long, we can't accumulate much merit, and Buddhism takes the purification of sentient beings as our own responsibility, and we should go out of the mountains and go deep into the people to spread the Dharma." ”

The master said: "I think we should cultivate ourselves well first, and we should not be impetuous. If you can't save yourself, how can you save sentient beings? ”

Bai Lian said: "Master, I want to cultivate myself in action, just like a doctor, no matter whether my medical skills are good or not, I can see any disease I can see, and I can treat as many people as I can." ”

The master said: "Then what if it can't be cured, or if the diagnosis is wrong and the wrong medicine is used to cure the person?" ”

"I'll be careful and do what I can." Bai Lian insisted on asking, "Master, you are the abbot, the temple can't be without an abbot for a day, just let the apprentice go out to exercise." ”

"Alright then, you have to be careful. Remember: everything is according to fate, not clinging; People are the same doctors, so that they can do their own thing; Don't go far, don't forget to come back; My Buddha is compassionate, Amitabha! ”

Early the next morning, White Lotus left the temple and headed for a nearby village. She has never been wearing green clothes, so she is still wearing a white dress, her black hair is draped over her shoulders, and her beautiful face is like a lotus flower. The green grass on the road is fresh, and the butterflies are flying.

The village she went to was close at hand. Suddenly, she felt that she was soaring into the air, only to see a white cloud floating at her feet for no reason, lifting her up more than a hundred meters above the ground, and then seeing that she actually held a handful of dust in her hand. What's going on? She immediately thought that it must be the Buddha who wanted to help her, so she naturally clasped her hands in front of her chest and said in her mouth: Amitabha!

The people of the village saw a woman in white floating above the village, wearing a modern white dress, and they didn't care if she was holding a nectar bottle and a poplar branch in her hand, so they excitedly shouted: "Guanyin Bodhisattva! Guanyin Bodhisattva! Guanyin Bodhisattva! ”

For a while, the whole village was boiling, and all men, women, and children came out to look up at Guanyin Bodhisattva in the sky, kneeling at the entrance of the village, on the street, or in their own yards. Even the blind and the paralyzed came out and looked at heaven. When they hear one shout after another, they believe it's true!

Bai Lian wanted to descend the auspicious clouds, but she couldn't come down no matter how she thought about it, so she could only stand on the white clouds and say a few words to her fathers and fellow villagers: "Fathers and fellow villagers! I'm not Guanyin Bodhisattva, I'm White Lotus, do any of you know me? ”

"It's really White Lotus! It's really her! A few young people said in surprise.

"White Lotus, a mortal, can soar through the clouds? Don't talk nonsense! An eighty-year-old mother said, "You are Guanyin Bodhisattva!" I recognize you even though I'm dizzy! Guanyin Bodhisattva! The Bodhisattva of Avalokiteshvara! After saying that, the old mother kowtowed. Everyone excitedly shouted in trembling voices, "Guanyin Bodhisattva! The Bodhisattva of Avalokiteshvara! ”。 Some people fainted with excitement, and after waking up, they actually felt that some minor illnesses on their bodies had been cured. The blind man also saw the light suddenly, and the paralyzed man suddenly got up and recovered to his original state.

In just ten minutes, a miracle befell this village. People probably forgot that the name of their village is "Xianrenzhuang", is this a coincidence, or fate, or is it a predestined arrangement of God?
