Chapter 131: Buddhist Karma
The two soon came to the foot of a mountain, where Chen Dawei found that there was a lot of potential for development. The stone ladder here, witnessing the glory of this small Buddhist temple in those years, Chen Dawei is very strange, in recent years, many temples in the county have been renovated, the opportunity to expand, why this small Buddhist temple has no movement at all?
Chen Dawei couldn't help but ask He Dashan, only to know that it was because of this Guangming that he said that he didn't know how long he would live here, and there was no need for expansion. Chen Dawei couldn't help but become interested in the bright monk, is this person different from other monks? This is a very suitable place for them to survive, and when there is an opportunity to expand, he automatically says that he will not expand, what does this mean? Will they go? If you are gone, the temple becomes an empty temple, what is the point of expanding it yourself?
The two of them quickly climbed to the top of the mountain, although this mountain is not high, but it is also nearly 100 meters, which can be regarded as a peak in Lingyun Village. The small Buddha temple is located on the top of the mountain, which looks a little sloping, and a few vermilion columns have long been mottled to the point that only some traces of vermilion remain. The monk he saw just now was sweeping the floor, and there was a young man with him, and Chen Dawei found that the young man was about the same age as himself. It's really clear-eyed.
"Village Chief He, why do you have time to come here?" Guangming stopped what he was doing and looked at Chen Dawei and the two of them puzzled, Chen Dawei couldn't help but be a little strange, the bright monk had not been separated from him for a long time just now, and he was still carrying a basket on his back, although he didn't know what the other party was carrying, but it was faster than going up the mountain empty-handed. The two of them didn't delay any time at all, but he was able to do it so quickly, and he was still sweeping the floor here, and he didn't have any tiredness, is this an old monk who is old and frail?
"When my little brother saw that there was a temple here, he was curious and wanted to come and see it." He Dashan explained with a smile.
Chen Dawei walked over and nodded politely, "Master, you are busy with you, I'm just here to take a look." ”
The light made a Buddhist gesture with one hand and did not speak, and continued to pick up the broom and sweep the floor. Although the young man was sweeping the floor, he would peek at Chen Dawei from time to time. Chen Dawei secretly laughed, young people are young people, and concentration is never enough.
Chen Dawei and He Dashan then walked into the temple. There is nothing else inside the temple except the smell of incense, futons, and some Buddha statues and wall paintings. Of course, there are Buddha cases and candles. Looking at the ashes of the incense paper burning in front of the Buddha case, there are often people here who come to burn incense and worship the Buddha.
In addition to this main hall, there are side rooms on both sides, both of which are connected to the existence of this main hall, or the two other rooms of the main hall. The square door is closed, and Chen Dawei is inconvenient to open it to see, and he can probably guess that one side should be a place for the two to rest and sleep, and the other room may be the kitchen, as for the toilet, etc., it is estimated that they are all solved nearby. It is indeed a place with very simple conditions, Chen Dawei came out of the main hall, turned his head and looked around, there are several vacant lands on the top of this mountain, and there are traces of house construction, it is estimated that those places are the temples around the small Buddha temple in the past, but they have disappeared with history.
Retreating from the main hall to the square, the young man had returned to normal, and was no longer as curious as he had just been. And He Dashan went to make fun of the young man, and Chen Dawei went to the bright monk.
"Master, I wonder if you can give us some time to talk?" Chen Dawei was very serious, because he found that this monk did not seem to be so simple, in this small place, the monk he had not seen, there was a temple in a certain township, he had been there, there were seven or eight monks there, none of them could be compared with the inconspicuous light in front of him, which can only show that this light monk is not an ordinary person.
"Donor, the old man is polite. I wonder what the benefactor commands? Monk Guangming stopped the broom, looked at Chen Dawei, his eyes were on Chen Dawei, and the whole person looked a little sincere, but Chen Dawei felt that this old monk's eyes seemed to be able to see through himself.
"Master, I heard Director He say that you don't mean to expand the Little Buddha Temple, is it true?"
"Does the donor intend to fund the expansion of this small Buddhist temple?" Guangming didn't answer the rhetorical question, which made Chen Dawei very curious, so he asked casually, but he asked such a question instead, is it an unknown prophet, or just casually? After all, there is no difference between yourself and ordinary people, and when you come here, you may also be playing, how can the other party say that you are investing?
"The master's eyes are like a torch, as the old saying goes, meeting is fate, just now at the foot of the mountain and the master for the first time, I felt a little wonderful, then followed the master here, seeing that this place is dilapidated, there is a sense of sadness in my heart, I thought of expanding the idea of this small Buddhist temple, I don't know what the master means." Chen Dawei has made it very clear that if the other party promises to invest in him, of course, everything depends on the other party's meaning. This is actually Chen Dawei's tentative question, if the other party does not agree, he will not let go, the key is to figure out the real reason why the other party does not agree, the expansion of this temple, he is imperative.
Guangming smiled and said, "The donor is right, Buddhism also pays attention to karma, the old man sees that the donor has a good heart, and he does have a fate with my Buddha, but this move to expand the temple has to be considered in the long run, and the old man can only give the donor an answer after thinking about it for a few days." ”
Although the other party did not directly refuse, Chen Dawei felt that the other party might not have the heart to expand this temple, since the other party said so. Chen Dawei didn't want to say more, Chen Dawei nodded and said, "Okay, wait for the master's good news." The master has an answer, and he can tell it through Director He. ”
"Definitely, definitely." The Monk of Light nodded in response. Seeing this, Chen Dawei had no intention of staying, and called He Dashan to turn around and go down the mountain. After the two of them disappeared, the young man immediately said to the bright monk, "Master, have you agreed to expand the temple?" ”
Guangming shook his head and said, "Puji, it's not that the teacher agrees, but the teacher feels that it doesn't seem to work if he doesn't agree this time." Why is this, I can't guess as a teacher, it's just a feeling, a very strong feeling. After speaking, looking at the direction in which Chen Dawei and the others left, Monk Guangming frowned and fell into deep thought. Because, he felt that Chen Dawei gave him a very peculiar feeling, which was indescribable, as if it really had a bit of a taste of Buddhist karma.
"What's going on?" The bright monk muttered to himself, and couldn't help muttering, this look made the young man Puji around him a little inexplicable, he secretly said, this time the master went out for a month, why did he come back and lose his soul? Weird, weird. Also, my name is not Puji, next time I must keep in mind that my name is eight catties, Zheng eight catties. Who likes to be a monk, it's too unpromising. The young man shook his head with a good feeling of self and continued to sweep the floor. It's really two strange people, if Chen Dawei sees it, he will definitely notice something.
