Chapter Ninety-Four: Abbot of Guangji
Lichen's face is not good, and his tone is not small. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The two monk monks were obviously stunned, and after hearing the dust report to their home, their faces changed slightly. But after all, it was only a moment, and the two monks went in to inform the abbot alone, and the other immediately said with a smile on his face: "Nan Wu Amitabha Buddha!" The real person came, the temple is full of brilliance, the junior brother has gone to inform the abbot, and please wait a while, not thoughtful, look at the sea! ”
The temple can be a guest monk, all of them are sophisticated and sleek, quite able to observe words and feelings, and speak like a spring. The dust is not small, and it is not a secret in Buddhism, obviously these two monks have already known the origin of the dust, so no matter how bad the attitude of the dust is, the two monks can also smile at each other, if you change to an ordinary Taoist priest to try it?
It is estimated that when the trap was set in Guangji Temple and the Baiyun Temple was netted, it must have been expected that the dust would come to the door. Nowadays, the so-called notification is probably just a show.
Sure enough, after a while, the abbot of Guangji Temple brought a large number of senior monks to the door of the temple to greet the dust, which attracted the eyes of all the pilgrims, and they all guessed where the Taoist priest was sacred, and even asked the abbot of Guangji Temple to bring an elder in the temple to greet him at the door.
Lichen smiled, this abbot brought the elders of the temple to greet him, and he was under the watchful eyes of these many pilgrims. Obviously, it also has a deep meaning!
People in Guangji Temple treat each other so politely, can you still "bully" in other people's temples "unreasonable"?
"There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south! The real person is coming, and if you miss the welcome, please forgive the real person! The abbot took the lead and made a Buddhist salute to the dust first. No matter what happens, at least in front of the public, there is no shortage of etiquette.
"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Poor Dao took the liberty to come, and asked the abbot not to blame. "In terms of the cultivation of actors, no one is lost to the dust. Anyway, politely, I will never give Guangji Temple any handle.
"When a real person comes, there must be something important, and please use tea in the temple." Of course, the abbot naturally understood the meaning of the dust, but he still had a peaceful smile on his face, and invited the dust to enter the tea to discuss.
"Then disturb your Qing Xiu!" The dust did not shirk, and followed the abbot and others to the Guangji Temple.
Guangji Temple has the plaque of "Hongci Guangji Temple" given by Emperor Xianzong, so the specifications are quite high, and it is one of the best temples in the place of every inch of land in Beijing. Lichen followed the abbot straight into the back temple and sat down in the abbot's meditation room.
Guangji Temple should be very rich, the main hall is magnificent, and the Bodhisattva is bright. It's just that the abbot's room is quite simple, with no tables and chairs, a bed, and a few futons. On the wall of the room is a large word "Zen". I don't know who wrote it. Mortals will only feel ordinary when they see it, but under a few glances, they can feel a Buddhist Zen coming to their faces, like mountains and seas, but there is no trace to be found.
The abbot waved away a cadre of people in the temple, leaving only Chen and himself sitting opposite each other on the futon. What was in front of the two of them was just an ordinary cup of tea.
"There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south! Real people are cultivating deep in the mountains, the Tao is profound, and the immortal road is already in sight, so why bother to enter the world too deep and add cause and effect? "The abbot has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, crane hair and childish face, a pair of longevity eyebrows are extremely long, and he really has the appearance of a monk. At this time, he persuaded the dust lightly, as if it was "for your good".
For monks, appearance is very important. Obviously, this abbot is a person of great virtue and high monk at a glance, so for Guangji Temple, it is a suitable candidate for the abbot.
"Taoists also have 3,000 meritorious deeds, and if they do not enter the red dust, how can they attain 3,000 meritorious deeds?" Lichen smiled, picked up the teacup, and just waited to moisten his mouth, but found that the seemingly ordinary tea was actually fragrant and refreshing.
I know that the tea that can be brought to the guests by the abbot of this famous temple in the capital, what is the ordinary thing?
"Good tea, the outside is clumsy, the inside is beautiful, the fragrance is from the inside out, it is extraordinary!" After taking a sip of tea, Lichen sighed in admiration.
This is not to praise the good tea, but to scold the monks in the temple for being simple on the surface, luxurious on the inside, different hearts and mouths, and hypocritical Buddhism.
"Hongchen practice, no foreign objects, the elixir and jade liquid are no more than a glass of white water, but they are all thirst-quenching things, but the real person is noble, and the poor monk is afraid that the real person is a little sluggish. Real people! The abbot shook his head, picked up the rosary in his hand and turned a few of them, and said slowly after reciting "Amitabha" a few times.
"The way of my generation, to seek truth from falsehood, yes, yes, no, no, casual and natural, true self without thoughts. If everything is like the abbot, everything is illusory, why worship the Buddha, what is the dispute? The dust language was a pun, not without ridicule.
"How to understand the Buddha's mind without worshiping the Buddha, and how to come to the Buddha without fighting. Poor monks practice the Dharma of the World, but before they become Buddhas, how can they have a bad Dharma as it comes! The abbot said.
"There are three thousand avenues, each cultivating separately, and the poor road asks itself if it is not bad for you to come to the law, why do you hinder the poor path from practicing?" Lichen asked with a grim face.
"There are three thousand avenues, each cultivating separately, why should a real person force others to do their own way?" The abbot also asked.
"Hindering people from becoming enlightened, bad people cultivating, such cause and effect, can also be good? Buddhism is compassionate, is it good for bad people? Lichen was too lazy to play dumb riddles with the monk in front of him, so he got straight to the point and asked directly.
"Heaven has its own number of days. The real person is a great achievement, and his own calamity is coming. Go with the flow and help the way. Where does cause and effect come from? The abbot said.
When he heard this, if it weren't for the fact that his mental cultivation was sufficient, he was afraid that he would have slapped the shameless old monk opposite to death with one palm.
The sophistry of Buddhism and the thickness of the skin are indeed eye-opening. The monk prevented the dust spirit from returning to the body, and it turned out to be the meaning of the Heavenly Dao. The monk came to block the way, not to harm the dust, but to help the dust respond. I got the dust, but I have to thank the monk.
"Heavenly Dao robbery, but the monk is free to turn into a heavenly demon? Even the obstruction of the road is under the care of the monk? Lichen sneered.
"There are tens of millions of robberies, why do you have to come from the heavenly demons to be considered tribulations?" The old monk bit the will of heaven and blocked the way.
"I am an old monk, and there will be a catastrophe, and it is good for the poor monk to help the elderly. This Guangji Temple has the difficulty of Zhurong, can the poor road also help Guanglin Temple to rob? Lichen asked unceremoniously, his tone was cold, and the threat was self-evident.
"There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south! The Buddha has three treasures, and he has his own way to overcome the calamity, so he doesn't dare to bother with real people! However, the past is over, why not discuss one or two calmly, the two religions are competing with each other, there is no winner, the real person is profound, why be aggressive? The abbot persuaded.
"Poor Dao has this intention, you have set such a clumsy trap, only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps?" Lichen sneered.
"Real people, can't you listen to the poor monk?" The abbot saw that there were signs of action in the dust, and immediately replied.
