Chapter 152 (Ordination Ritual, optional)

The hairpin lady will not believe Qin Ying. Since Fu Yi wrote against Buddhism, the contradictions between the two factions of Buddhism and Taoism have become more and more severe, and even monks and Taoist priests have disdained to talk to each other when they meet.

She subconsciously decided that the relationship between Qin Ying and that monk must be unusual.

Li Chengqian was in the Chongjiao Hall, followed Master Tanzang to read these sentences, and then respectfully clasped his palms together and said: "May the great virtue be sad and grant me the Bodhisattva pure vows." When he said it, he was completely unobtrusive, and his tone was rigid to the point of flatness. Li Chengqian has a dispensable mentality towards religion, and does not have the same desire to take advantage of it as his Aya, nor does he have the same respect as his aunt.

As Qi heard this, the hand that struck the bell hesitated a little. I remember that Master Daoxuan once told him that the most fundamental point of taking the bodhisattva vows is to make great wishes. If you don't have such a desire, the effect of taking the vows will be greatly reduced. In front of him, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's attitude, Ruqi felt that this was blasphemy against Buddhism, but he opened his mouth and didn't say a word.

At that time, the Tanzang Master glanced back at Ruqi, signaled to ring the bell quickly, and asked loudly: "Good man, listen!" Are you a bodhisattva? "His voice is thick and deep, like a fine velvet cloth, rich in texture.

Li Chengqian was taken aback by his abrupt questioning, and he almost couldn't kneel, his back shook slightly, and he replied yes.

"Do you make a Bodhi vow?" Tanzo's tone calmed down.

Li Chengqian replied incorrectly: "It has been sent." ”

He had already been taught by Ah Niang yesterday, and the precept master had to answer yes without thinking about anything. Before he knew what the bodhisattva vows were, Li Chengqian was forced by his parents to participate in an ordination ceremony, saying that it was a lie not to be bored, but he was good at seeing bad things as good things. Being able to glance at Qin Ying from afar just now seemed to be the whole meaning of participating in the ordination.

Seeing this, the Tanzang Master said again: "Good man, listen! Thou shalt wait for the present, and you want to receive one qiē from all the Bodhisattvas and one qiē pure vows from all the Bodhisattvas in our place. It is called the precept of discipline, the precept of benevolence, and the precept of benefiting sentient beings. Such is the Office of Learning. If it is a pure vow, the past is a qiē bodhisattva has already possessed. In the future, a qiē bodhisattva should be a tool, and a qiē bodhisattva should be in the ten directions now. So the place of learning, then the pure precepts, the past a qiē bodhisattva has learned. In the future, a qiē Bodhisattva should learn, and a qiē Bodhisattva will learn in the ten directions now. Can you take it? ”

I saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince put his hands together, gave a salute and said, "I can bear it." ”

After the three questions and answers were completed, the Tanzang Master read the finished manuscript aloud: "Buddha! It should be accepted by four not bad faiths. He led the prince to recite the three verses of conversion, repentance, and vows, and said it three more times. From now on, do your best in the future and take refuge in the Buddha, the law, the Sangha, and the Dharma precepts. ”

He repeated the refuge as if to engrave the word in the listener's mind.

"Buddha! The second time should repent of the three sins: if you have the past, body, mouth, mind, and ten heinous sins, may you not afford it after all, and you will end up in the future. If now, the body, mouth, and mind. Ten heinous sins, I hope that after all, I can't afford it, and I will do my best in the future. If in the future, body, mouth, mind, and ten heinous sins, I hope that after all, I will not be able to afford it, and I will do my best in the future. ”

Li Chengqian closed his eyes, only to feel that countless ink characters poured into his thoughts along the words of Master Tanzang, shaking his brain.

"Buddha! If you repent of yourself, your karma will be pure. Such as net glass, inside and outside the light. Master Tanzang taught Li Chengqian to make four grand vows on the spot, and he was surprised to find that the prince's ability to recite was very strong, and he could follow every word clearly. Such a keen sense of words at such a young age. When you grow up, you will have great talents.

"All sentient beings have boundless vows, endless troubles vow to break, immeasurable vows to learn, and supreme vows to come true of Buddhism. Buddha! Since I have made a grand vow, I should be the third confessor, proving that I have been ordained. Thou shalt be a hearer. Thoughtful. When you know the beginning of the white world, the world of the ten directions, the wonderful and good precepts, from the heart karma, all shake; Three times white, the world of the ten directions, the wonderful and good precepts, like clouds and covers, on the top of you; Three times in vain, the world of the ten directions, the wonderful and good precepts, from the Ruding Gate, into the body and mind, full of positive retribution. As far as the future comes, it will always be a Buddha species. This is the method of no precepts, no color leakage, and it is felt by your increased kindness, so you should accept it sincerely. ”

This large section of the passage is recited as the seventh, because the Tanzo's voice needs to be trimmed halfway.

The Tanzang Master stood up, offered the flowers on the incense table to the Buddha statue, and then bowed and clasped his palms and said: Yang Qi Ten Directions, boundless, in all worlds, all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, now in this, there is a certain Bodhisattva, in my Bodhisattva place, and even three said, take the Bodhisattva vows, I testify. May the ten directions, boundless, and the worlds, all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, the first true saints, in the present and non-appearing, one qiē time and place, one qiē sentient beings, all enlightened beings, in this A ordained Bodhisattva, also testify.

His voice was a little hoarse because he had read many sentences in a row, but it was also more magnetic. He continued to explain the tenfold precepts to Li Chengqian, and advised him to keep the precepts for a long time, which would be beneficial to the recovery of the body.

"Good man, listen! Bodhisattvas have ten endless vows, and if there is a transgressor, it is not a bodhisattva, and the forty-two sages and holy dharmas are lost. Thou shalt accept the truth: From this body to the body of the Buddha, in the middle of it, you must not kill for any reason, can you sustain it? From this body to the Buddha's body, in the middle of it, you can't steal for some reason, can you keep it? From this body to the Buddha's body, in the middle, there is no ****, can it be held? From this body to the Buddha's body, in the middle of it, you can't talk nonsense, can you hold it? From this body to the Buddha's body, in the middle of it, you can't drink alcohol, can you hold it?

"From this body to the Buddha's body, in the middle of it, it is not possible to say that the sins of the bodhisattvas who are monks at home can be sustained? From this body to the Buddha's body, in the middle of it, you can't praise and destroy him for some reason, can you hold it? From this body to the Buddha's body, in the middle of it, you can't save it, can you hold it? From this body to the Buddha's body, in the middle, you can't be blind, can you hold it? From this body to the Buddha's body, in the middle of it, one must not slander the Three Jewels, can it be held? ”

Tan Tibetan Master asked one by one, and Li Chengqian answered one by one. The look on his face was like a jade carving, and there was no emotion other than calm.

At this time, Ruqi knocked on the magic weapon for several moments, and his spirit had been focused on the two of them, and now he was showing fatigue. Blinking his eyes, barely keeping his spiritual platform clear, he listened to Master Tanzang again:

"Buddha! After receiving the ten endless precepts, the recipient of the four demons is excessive, transcending the suffering of the three realms, from birth to birth, without losing this vow, often accompanying people, and even becoming a Buddha. When you know that the pure vows received by the bodhisattva and the pure vows received by the remaining qiē are the most supreme, immeasurable and boundless merits, the first supreme benevolence is initiated, and the universal ability to eliminate all kinds of evil deeds is extinguished. One qiē is liberated from the rituals, and in this Bodhisattva ritual, the hundred points are less than one, the thousand points are less than one, the number of points, the scoring, the calculation of points, the metaphor of points, and even the killing of Wu Boni is not as good as one, and the great merit of receiving one qiē. ”

The last step of the ordination emphasizes that the solemnity of the precepts has been completed, and Ruqi breathes a sigh of relief in his heart.

At this time, Master Tanzang stretched out his hand to support His Royal Highness the Prince, gestured to him, and knelt down again to bow to the Three Treasures of the Ten Directions.

Li Chengqian knelt on the ground for a long time just now, and his lower limbs were already a little uncomfortable, he slowly held on to the mat, followed the Tanzang Master and bent down to worship: "The merits of receiving the ordination are extraordinary, and the boundless victories and blessings are all dedicated, and I wish to indulge all sentient beings and go to the Buddha Temple of Immeasurable Light as soon as possible; The three worlds of the ten directions are a qiē Buddha, a qiē bodhisattva Mahasattva, and a Mahaprajnaparamita. ”

Ruqi was very impressed by Li Chengqian's tenacious temperament, and after the ordination ceremony, he did not look away for a long time.

And Li Chengqian didn't look at Ruqi at all, he refused the assistance of others, and walked out of the Chongjiao Hall with small steps.

At this time, neither of them knew that they were rivals in love.
