Chapter 41: The Bodhi Tree

(Novel.b.) Updated) Rothean 4: Updated on: 24-4-2:36:3. There is no second person who can speak out so that the master of repentance has to obey his orders, except for the abbot of Ciyun Temple.

The repentant master pondered for a moment and said to the master of the cangtang: "Since the abbot is invited, I will invite the master of the cangtang to enter the temple for a while." 74623

The master of the Cangtang raised his head and smiled: "I didn't expect that my Cang would have such a beautiful day."

Master Confession is a high-ranking monk, and his face is not more colorful, but the faces of the monks behind him can be imagined, standing solemnly one by one, without any joy and hospitality.

The master of the cangtang stepped forward, accompanied by the master of confession, and the rest of the people followed, and entered the main hall of Ciyun Temple together.

Everyone entered from the Tianwang Palace, and went straight to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and when they arrived in front of the hall, the rest of the monks stopped, and only the repentant master led the Cangtang master, Fang Zhong and others inside.

Master Confession said: "The abbot is inside, the master of the warehouse hall please."

The hall is extremely wide, and countless futons are placed on both sides, but there is no one at the moment.

On top of the empty hall, there was only an old monk directly in front of him, sitting alone in the presiding seat.

The old monk was different from the benevolent eyebrows of the repentant master, the tips of the eyebrows were facing upward, the eyes were bright, and although the hair was gray, there was a heroic aura.

The repentant master said, "Abbot, your distinguished guest has arrived.

The abbot of Ciyun Temple raised his eyes and swept towards the master of the cangtang, Fang Zhong and the others, and Fang Zhong suddenly felt that the eyes of this person in front of him were like torches, and he almost wanted to see through people's hearts.

He had never seen the abbot of Tsz Yun Temple the first two times he had come to Tsz Yun Temple, and now it was the first time he had seen it.

The abbot said, "There is Senior Brother Lao, please sit down."

There are no chairs to sit on here, so naturally you can only cross your knees on the futon.

Master Confession sat on the third futon under the abbot, while the master of the cangtang and Fang Zhong sat on the rest of the futon.

After the abbot of Tsz Yun Temple waited for everyone to sit down, he said to the master of the cangtang: "The old man is now the host of the Ciyun Temple, and the master of the cangtang will not be a stranger to it."

The master of the Cangtang said: "The prestige of the master of the pass of Ciyun Temple, the old man is like thunder, how can he not know."

The token master said: "Bo has a false name, and it is not worth the eyes and ears of the master of the warehouse."

Invite the master of the warehouse hall to come today, and I think what is the purpose of the know? ”

The master of the cangtang said: "Listen to Fang Gongzi's words, he and your temple are both seeking the location of the Bodhi tree, the old man is not talented, and he still has some ability in the way of divination, and he is confident that he has this grasp of where the Bodhi tree is."

The master of the token smiled slightly and said: "The repentant junior brother heard that the Fang donor wanted to ask for the Bodhi tree, so he said that the temple was counting on the hand of the Fang donor, and he didn't have much hope, but he didn't know that the Fang donor actually brought the cangtang master, which was really unexpected."

Fang Zhong was stunned when he heard this, and glanced at the Master of Repentance.

Master Confession said: "Not only does the donor want to ask for the Bodhi tree, but in fact, the temple is also troubled by this tree.

The master of the cangtang said with a smile: "The old man already knows that the meaning of your temple to ask for a tree is no less than that of Fang Gongzi, otherwise, how can he take Bodhi leaves out to exchange."

No matter how big Fang Gongzi's face is, let your temple cut his love like this, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it.

Master Confession said to Fang Zhong: "Cangtang's words are like sharp blades, and let poor monks sit like pins and needles, but this is indeed the case.

Fang Zhong suddenly felt that he was put on the spot by this kind-looking old monk, it turned out that he Ciyun Temple himself wanted to know the whereabouts of this Bodhi tree, but let himself run around to find people, this was really slippery to the bones, and it was completely inconsistent with the honest appearance of the repentant master.

Fang Zhongdao: "The younger generation asks for this tree, it is entrusted by someone, I don't know what your temple is asking for this tree, and what is it for?" ”

The token master said: "Can Master Fang know the origin of the Bodhi tree?" ”

Fang Zhongdao: "I have heard that this tree is the sacred tree of Buddhism, and the Buddha tree is under the Bodhi tree.

The master of the token said with a smile: "This is something that the public knows, and more detailed things may not be known to others, and now the old man will say some things that others don't know, and the master of the cangtang and the master of Fang will know what the heart of the temple is to seek the Bodhi tree."

Fang Zhongdao: "I really don't know the origin of the Bodhi tree, and the younger generations listen to it.

The token master said: "Bodhi is not Bodhi, first there is bodhicitta and then there is Bodhi tree."

This tree was named Bodhi Tree after the Buddha attained enlightenment, but before that, it was not called so.

Fang Zhong said: "That's why the abbot said that there was bodhicitta first, and then there was a bodhi tree, but I don't know how this tree should be called before?" ”

The master said: "Before the Buddha sat down and attained enlightenment, the Bodhi tree was the tree of enlightenment.

Legend has it that in order to get rid of the suffering of birth, old age, sickness and death, reincarnation, and to save the suffering sentient beings, the Buddha became a monk and practiced, but after years of practice, he was never able to achieve enlightenment.

One day, I heard that there was a sacred tree called the Tree of Enlightenment, which could purify one's heart and suppress evil thoughts.

So the Buddha went on his trail and meditated under a tree of enlightenment for seven days and seven nights, vowing to say, 'If your bones are broken and your flesh and blood are dry, you will not be able to go to Bodhi, and you will never be able to sit on this seat.'

Finally overcome all kinds of evil temptations, and when the sky is about to dawn, he will be enlightened and finally become a Buddha.

Fang Zhongdao: "Enlightenment Tree? The Buddha has not been able to attain enlightenment after many years of practice, and the younger generation thinks that a person like the Buddha can also have all kinds of evil thoughts and temptations, and even rely on this tree to achieve enlightenment? ”

The master of the token said: "Although the Dharma is boundless, but it is also the Buddha to think carefully, at the beginning of the creation of the Dharma, it is inevitable that there are evil hearts and greedy thoughts, after the enlightenment, those who have left the aftermath of the law will gradually disappear, so thousands of years later, the Dharma that has been passed down is the law of righteousness and light."

Fang Zhong suddenly remembered what Shao Si Ming said, the Dharma created by the Buddha at the beginning was actually divided into two parts, the upper and lower floating slaughter, and the upper floating slaughter is the current Dharma, but the lower floating slaughter has been reduced to the ghost Taoist method.

Shao Si ordered himself to take a branch of the Bodhi tree and use it to suppress the evil spirits of the immortals, which was not as good as the Buddha suppressing all kinds of evil thoughts under the Bodhi tree.

If this is the case, I am afraid that sooner or later I will have to use this tree to resolve the growing resentment in my heart.

The master of the cangtang said: "Although we know the origin of this tree, what does this have to do with Ciyun Temple.

The token master sighed lightly and said: "Amitabha, the day of the Buddha's destruction is the time when the Buddha attains Nirvana, as far as the old man knows, the place where the Buddha Nirvana is actually under this Bodhi tree.
