Finally came the day to officially meet with the monk, this day Haruko Yamada dressed up as an entourage, followed by Takushi Asakawa's film crew, and Ami Haten, and went to Honganji Temple together. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Along the way, Taku Asakawa excitedly introduced: "Honganji Temple is one of the largest temples in Toei, with a long history of hundreds of years, a huge scale, and since ancient times it has always been the ancestral garden of the Honanji Temple, a sacred place to witness history, it has always been a very mysterious place, and the media has entered the inner courtyard of Honganji Temple no more than ten times over the past few decades, and I am deeply honored to be one of them, thank you, Mr. Lei gave me such an opportunity." ”

Ye Tian said lightly: "Thanks to Asakawa-kun's help, I can meet the great monk." ”

Soon the car came to the gate of Honganji, and after getting off the bus, the group came to the gate and was received by several monks.

Ye Tian looked up and saw two statues of King Kong standing at the gate of this magnificent gate, and a large plaque on the door read "Honganji" with three big characters, which is the supreme existence of Dongying Wulin.

After several monks took them into Honganji, they first passed by a large courtyard, which was open to the public and had many tourists.

Honganji covers an area of more than 20,000 acres, has dozens of courtyards, more than 1,000 Zen rooms, five or six thousand monks live in the temple all the year round, the scale is very grand, one-third of the places are open to the outside world, there are many tourists all the year round, and the rest of the places are idlers are forbidden to enter.

After passing through the open area in front of you, you soon stepped into the inner courtyard, which was forbidden to outsiders, and this was the real Honganji Temple, and as soon as you entered, the atmosphere immediately became subtle.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please rest here for a while, the great monk is giving a lecture to the disciples in the Buddhist hall, if it is fast, it will be over in about half an hour, and if it is slow, it may take more than an hour." After the monk finished speaking, he left.

Soon a few small novices came up with a few plates of snacks and a good pot of tea, and the group had to wait in this lounge for tea.

After waiting boredly for more than twenty minutes, Ye Tian felt a little anxious, so he went out to find the toilet.

But when Ye Tian walked out of the courtyard, he found that this place was really a bit big, he walked through three courtyards and failed to find a toilet, fortunately he met a monk sweeping the floor in the fourth courtyard, so he stepped forward to inquire.

I saw that the monk who bowed his head and swept the floor seriously was an old monk of sixty or seventy years old, he was wearing an old monk's robe with patches, his beard and hair were all white, and his spirit was very strong, and he was full of strength between his hands and feet.

Ye Tian stepped forward and folded his hands respectfully, and said: "This master is disturbed, I am a Chinese businessman who came to visit the great monk, because he was in a hurry, he couldn't find the toilet, may I ask the master, where is the toilet here?" ”

The old monk looked up at Ye Tian at this time, he seemed to feel that Ye Tian's attitude was very humble, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "In this era, there are not many rich people like you who are polite, and the donor seems to be a good person." ”

Ye Tian smiled and replied, "Thank you for the master's praise, but I'm in a bit of a hurry now, where is the toilet?" ”

The old monk turned back to a corner of the courtyard and said, "There is a small door there, and inside is the latrine, but when you are done using it, remember to flush the toilet, so that the monks who clean the toilet will not nag again." ”

Ye Tian nodded gratefully, trotted all the way into the toilet, and after excretion, he felt much more comfortable in his lower abdomen, and walked out refreshed.

The old monk was still sweeping the floor seriously in the yard, just now Ye Tian didn't pay attention because of his internal urgency, but now he noticed a strange thing, only to see that there are more than a dozen big trees in this yard, and now it is autumn, the autumn wind is blowing, and the leaves on the big trees have fallen to the ground, and there are leaves everywhere.

The old monk swept while falling, and the trees behind him fell leaves, he swept for a long time, the ground was still not cleaned, there were fallen leaves everywhere, but he was not in a hurry, and he was still sweeping the ground seriously.

Ye Tian couldn't help but step forward strangely and asked, "Master, this fallen leaf can't be cleaned up, why don't you save some effort?" If you clean it like this, you'll never be able to clean it until the leaves are gone. ”

The old monk smiled slightly, and while sweeping the floor, he replied: "Donor, you just saw the poor monk cleaning, but you mistakenly thought that the poor monk's purpose was to make the courtyard clean, you are wrong, cleaning is only a necessary process, and the result is all up to heaven's will." ”

Ye Tian couldn't help but be confused, and asked, "If you don't want to clean this yard, then why do you need this process?" I just don't sweep it. ”

The old monk replied calmly: "Things in this world do not necessarily have causes and effects, just ask the donor, after a person is born, he must experience birth, old age, sickness and death, and finally become a handful of loess, since they are going to die anyway, then why be born?" Wouldn't it be trouble-free to simply turn into a stubborn stone, jump into life and death, and not have to experience the suffering of reincarnation? ”

When Ye Tian heard this, he was stunned, although he was smart, but he didn't know anything about Buddhism, at this time, listening to the words of this old monk, he suddenly felt that he had understood something, but he couldn't say it.

The old monk smiled: "Life is like this courtyard, falling leaves are like the suffering, joy and sorrow of the sick, these things will always appear in a person's life, this is the process that everyone must go through, take this process seriously, even if you don't live in vain, no matter what the result is, Amitabha." ”

After this explanation, Ye Tian finally understood that this Buddhist principle was simple and easy to understand, but it interpreted the meaning of human life in this world, which made him suddenly realize and be convinced.

Ye Tian immediately became more respectful, he clasped his hands together, and said: "After listening to the master's words, it is like an initiation, and the mouth suddenly opens, the master is really a master of Buddhism, and I admire it a lot." ”

The old monk laughed, "Whether it is a master or a mortal, isn't it all like this courtyard, the donor's understanding is good, why not take refuge in my Buddha and ask for a peace and liberation?" ”

Ye Tian said with a smile: "The master is a master who can see through the red dust, but unfortunately I am still an ordinary man, and it is not my wish to escape into Buddhism, I'm sorry, master, farewell." After saying that, he walked out of the courtyard.

After walking out of the courtyard, Ye Tian couldn't help but be secretly frightened, he originally thought that Honganji Temple was just a martial arts sect, but he didn't expect an old monk who swept the floor to have such wisdom, this place is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, so as the leader of the sect, isn't the great monk even more awesome and coaxing? He immediately became interested in this big man who was about to meet, and he wanted to meet the big monk soon.

returned to the lounge, still waiting, no monk came to inform, it seems that the monk is still preaching.

After more than 20 minutes, a monk came and said, "You have been waiting for a long time, the monk is ordering me to invite you to come and meet, please come with me." ”

Taku Asakawa immediately ordered the photographer, "Let's get to work quickly, don't leave every shot behind, and shoot everything that can be taken, this is a rare opportunity." ”

So the photography team was officially launched, and the interview activity began.

Under the leadership of the monk Zhike, everyone passed through several courtyards all the way, and finally came to a large courtyard.

When Ye Tian walked into this compound, he couldn't help but be stunned, wasn't this the courtyard where he went to the thatched house just now? Could it be that the great monk is living here? I didn't expect him to inadvertently break into the Zen monastery where the monk was living just now, but it was also the will of God.

I saw that the courtyard was empty, and the ground was still full of fallen leaves, and the old monk who swept the floor just now was gone.

The monk took everyone to the door of a meditation room, and said respectfully to the inside: "The monk is right, the guest has brought." ”

I heard an old voice come out, "Please come in." ”

As soon as he heard this voice, Ye Tian was stunned, and when the door was pushed open, he walked in and took a look, and he was even more stunned on the spot.

I saw that the layout in this meditation room was very simple, an old monk sat quietly on a meditation bed, closed his eyes and recuperated, and there was no one else in the room.

And this old monk is the sweeping old monk that Ye Tian just met!

I saw that the old monk opened his eyes slightly, and saw Ye Tianhou and said with a smile: "Donor, please sit down, the poor monk is wise, and he is the great monk of Hongan Temple." ”

Ye Tian heard Haruko Yamada mention that the name of the great monk is called Wisdom Zen Master, but he never expected that this top figure in Dongying martial arts was actually an old sweeping monk wearing patched old clothes.

"I knew that I would have looked for some video materials of the former monks leaving the country, but I didn't recognize them in front of me, I'm really ashamed." Ye Tian sat down and thought secretly.

After everyone sat down, the great monk was letting the monk leave, and only the senior monk and Ye Tian were left in the room.

Taku Asakawa said respectfully: "Your Excellency, is our interview possible?" ”

The big monk was smiling and said: "Then let's start, the donor also please make the spirit of the poor monk more handsome, after all, you have to be on TV, you can't embarrass the sect." ”

Hearing that the monk was talking funny, the serious and tense atmosphere eased a lot, and it also made people fully feel that this peerless master of the four islands of the mighty East Ying is actually such an easy-going old man, it seems that this interview should be very smooth.

In the next half hour, Taku Asakawa conducted a perfect interview according to the script arranged before, because this kind of important interview, the script will be submitted to the monk in advance, and what questions and words will be asked during the interview are all lines discussed by both parties to avoid an awkward atmosphere.

The monk is also very cooperative to complete the interview, gladly accepted the golden statue worth tens of millions of dollars given to him by Ye Tian, and said that he would enshrine this golden statue in his meditation room, after his death, he will become the treasure of the temple of the sect, forever, representing the majesty of the monk is the heavy weight of believers, but also a symbol of spiritual leaders.

Everything went unusually smoothly, even Ye Tian didn't expect it to be so smooth, and he quickly completed the things on the script and ended this interview.

At this time, Ye Tian glanced at Asakawa Taku, this was what they had discussed before, after the interview, they found a reason to leave first, leaving Ye Tian and the monk alone, this is the real purpose of his trip.

But just when Ye Tian just made a look, at this time, the senior monk suddenly said: "Please leave this donor, the poor monk has a few words to talk to the donor alone, and the others should go to the front to rest first." ”

Ye Tian was stunned, what the great monk was talking about was obviously him, although he didn't know what the big monk was thinking, but he was right in the middle.
