Chapter 763: A Request for a Gift of Relics
If it were the relics of other eminent monks, Master Huijie would never be in such a hurry to ask for them, but this relic is the real body relic of Shakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, and its importance is more important than any treasure in Buddhism.
If you don't take this opportunity to bring it up now, Master Huijie feels that I am afraid that there will be no chance in the future.
Hearing Master Huijie's words, Fang You smiled slightly and looked at Chu Lao and Chen Zongyi.
Chu Lao smiled, "Xiaoyou, this Buddha's true body finger bone relic, you found it, and the natural decision is also yours, no matter what decision you make, we will approve of it." ”
"Well, Fang boy, what Old Guy Chu said is right, this finger bone relic is yours, and we will not object to any decision you make." Chen Zongyi nodded and said.
"Master, I see." Fang You smiled and nodded, this finger bone relic, he had already determined that it was the true body of the Buddha, and he had also made a decision.
If it is like the Medicine Master Glass Buddha, Venus Dragon Inkstone, or the Great Qi Tongbao, Qi Nan Agarwood and other rare things, Fang You will never give them to anyone.
It's just that this Buddha's real finger bone relics are very different from these rare antiques, and other antiques contain their own meanings, but the meaning represented by this finger bone relics can be said to be very huge.
Putting it here for oneself, and putting it in the monastery for many Buddhist believers to worship, worshipping Buddha is two different concepts, Shakyamuni can be said to be the soul of many believers in Buddhism, and the true body relics he left behind, even more so, are the pillars of the entire Buddhism.
In addition to these, the main reason why Fang You can give the relics to these Buddhist masters without hesitation is that the gray air flow that appears in this relic makes his strength a huge leap, and the grace of dripping water will be reciprocated by a spring, no matter what benefits these Buddhist masters can give themselves, Fang You will find a good home for this relic, and accept the worship and worship of all people, this is undoubtedly the best destination.
Although the Buddhist masters looked like they had a peaceful smile on their faces, their eyes were staring at Fang You, and they were a little nervous in their hearts, this finger bone relic would bring great benefits and fame to anyone else, and just holding an exhibition of relics would attract people from all over the world to come and see.
Just because, this is the true body relics of the legendary Buddha Shakyamuni, for the legendary characters, anyone will think that this is too far away from them, but when the legendary Buddha real body relics are placed in front of them, so that they have the opportunity to watch, presumably, no one will miss this opportunity.
They felt that this Fang You in front of them was too young, and it was still unknown whether they could resist the temptation of this huge benefit, as Tong Chu Lao just said, Fang You was the discoverer of this relic, and he had the right to decide where this relic went, as a Buddhist person, they would never be able to persecute it, not to mention that there was an old guy here, even if they wanted to force it, there was nothing they could do.
Unlike other masters, Master Huijie was in a peaceful state of mind, he could see the firmness in Fang You's eyes, which could not be affected by any external object, without the slightest hesitation, without the slightest doubt, Fang You had already made a decision, this was something that Master Huijie was extremely sure of.
"Masters, I've made your decision." Fang You said with a smile, and couldn't help but make the hearts of the masters in front of him beat violently a few times.
"The Buddha is the supreme figure of Buddhism, and the body and bone relics he left behind, put them in my hands, will only make it dusty, and will not bring any gospel to the society and the people, so, as you said, enshrined in the Famen Temple, accept the worship and worship of all people, this is the best destination of the Buddha's true body relics, so that everyone can have the opportunity to feel the boundless Dharma in the Buddha's relics, I am afraid that this is also the Buddha's wish to leave the relics, so I decided to give this Buddha's true body finger bone relics to the Buddhist Association free of charge, And you will put it in the Famen Temple for worship. ”
Seeing the nervousness inadvertently shown by several masters, Fang You said calmly.
What, Li Lao and Qi Lao and the others are a little incredible, they got the news yesterday and rushed over today, the Buddha's true body relics are such a precious thing, Fang You didn't even mention the slightest request to give it to the Buddhist Association for free, by the way, this Buddha finger bone relic, they were sure from the beginning that Fang You would never be able to stay in their hands, and the people in Buddhism would pay all the costs to invite this relic back to the temple for worship, they thought, Fang You should at least make a few requests as the price of this relic.
But now, Fang You's calm words did not carry the slightest emotion, as if the act of giving away this precious relic like a national treasure could not make any waves in his heart.
This state of mind, this kind of bearing, this kind of mind, let them sigh to themselves, when a Buddha's true body finger bone relics in their hands, will never be as easy and free as Fang You to hand over to the people of Buddhism, the reason is just that the identity of the Buddha is now no one can compare, he is the supreme figure of the Three Realms in the legend, in reality, it is the founder of the world's three major sects of Buddhism.
Chu Lao smiled slightly, and did not feel any regrets, benefits, in Fang You's eyes, it was just a passing cloud, what he lacked now was money and fame, which could enable everyone in the world to look up to the Buddha's finger bone relics and understand the Dharma contained in it, which was exactly what Fang You wanted to do.
In the face of major rights and wrongs, Fang You will make the right decision under normal circumstances, however, there is one exception, that is, someone threatens his relatives and friends, no matter how important this person is to the world, Fang You will not show mercy.
He felt that there were no regrets because of these were not the only ones, he was familiar with Fang You's character, and he obviously knew that Fang You's words had not yet been finished.
Several masters beside Master Huijie couldn't help but be a little moved when they heard Fang You's righteous and awe-inspiring words, they could give up all the benefits brought by this relic, they could give up any requirements they gave, and give them the Buddha's true body finger bone relics for free, this kind of righteous act, not everyone can have the courage to do it.
There was once a businessman, found a relic left by a monk somewhere, actually wanted to auction through the auction, after being known by Buddhist believers, they condemned and protested, after the cancellation of the auction, the Buddhist Association took the initiative to contact the businessman, wanted to invite the relics back, but the merchant was a high price that they could not accept at all, in a society full of interests, when some Buddhist masters were tempted by interests, Fang You's behavior, it was really shocking, and people admired Fang You from the bottom of their hearts.
Just when these Buddhist masters couldn't help but express their high respect to Fang You, Master Huijie stretched out his hand to stop them, looking at Fang You calmly, he watched countless people, and also saw that Fang You still had something to say.
"I can give you this relic today, but I have two requests, of course, even if the masters don't agree, I will not change my previous decision to give the relic for free." Looking at the several masters in front of him, Fang You said with a smile.
Master Huijie smiled and clasped his hands together, "Fang Xiaoyou, please speak, as long as we can do it, any request is fine." Hearing Fang You's words, several masters became suspicious of Fang You, but Master Huijie and another Buddhist master kept smiling on their faces, because people with such a firm heart would never make some demands to them after saying that they were free of charge, unless, these requirements were not requirements at all, but they had to do it.
"First, after this relic is given to you, it must not be used to obtain great benefits, just place it in the temple, accept the worship of all people, and the incense money donated voluntarily by the believers, except for example, if I find that this relic is used to obtain great benefits, instead of being worshiped by the people of the world, so that they can understand the truth of Buddhism, then I have the right to take back this Buddha's true body relic." Fang You said calmly, his words full of unwavering conviction.
Although he thought that Fang You would not make any requests related to interests, but when he heard this request, Master Huijie couldn't help but be a little surprised, what this son did could not be judged by ordinary people, all external objects could not affect his heart, given time, his achievements were limitless, and it could be seen from some miracles created by Fang You now.
Several other masters continued to show a look of emotion on their faces, and their every move was just to let this relic get a good fate, and even more concerned and cared about it than they were Buddhist people, which made them can't help but be suspicious just now, and some blame themselves, such people, if they don't practice Buddhism, they are simply tyrannical things, but when they looked at Chen Zongyi with a black face next to them, they smiled bitterly.
"Amitabha, Fang Xiaoyou, this request, we promise you, this Buddha finger bone relic, is an important holy relic left by the Buddha, and it will never be allowed to be tainted by any interests, even if Fang Xiaoyou does not mention this request, we will do so, just because of our Buddha heart." Master Huijie clasped his hands together, bowed to Fang You, and said with respect.
Fang You nodded, "I believe that all the masters will definitely do this, the second request, I want to go to Famen Temple and other temples that enshrine the Buddha's true body relics at the right time, to pay homage to the Buddha's other true body finger bone relics and other body bone relics, and to hold them with my hands, and to feel the Dharma left by the Buddha and the breath of peace of mind at close range." ”
A Buddha True Body Finger Bone Relic had caused the gray air flow in his body to triple as much as a triple, if the gray air flow within the True Body Relic left by the Buddha was completely absorbed, then Fang You couldn't imagine at all what level the gray air flow in his body would reach, and what realm his own retreat would reach.
Absorbing the gray air flow in the relics of other Buddha Buddhas was determined by Fang You before, but this kind of thing cannot be explained to these Buddhist masters at all, just because of the existence of gray air flow and retreat, it is too terrifying, although these Buddhist masters are profound, but they are still **mortals, explain these things to them, so that they can't believe it, the problem is that the consequences caused by this are unbearable for Fang You.
Hearing Fang You's request, Master Huijie's eyes lit up, presumably this Fang Xiaoyou realized the wonderful feeling brought by the Dharma in the relics in front of them, and couldn't help but want to comprehend the Dharma in the other relics, so as to make his state of mind go further.
This kind of thing, how could Master Huijie refuse, the Buddha's relics are stored in several major temples in China, but those are tiny relics, the most important finger bone relics, or in the Famen Temple, I can't say that Fang Xiaoyou will realize the mystery of Buddhism on the way to enlightenment, and then take the initiative to practice Buddhism, which is simply effortless, and he recruited a material that can be made for Buddhism, thinking about it, Master Huijie can't help but be a little excited in his heart.
Hearing Fang You's words, Chen Zongyi's face changed slightly, and he was about to speak, but he was stopped by Chu Lao and pulled him aside, "Xiao You's heart, you should know that his mind is firm, and it is not at all affected by external objects, with our current skills, we can no longer give Fang You any help and teaching, Buddhism is boundless, Fang You wants to understand the Dharma among these relics, so that his peaceful state of mind can be further improved, this is exactly what we want." ”
"Xiaoyou gave up this Buddha finger bone relic so easily, do you think that with his mental nature, he will be tempted by the Dharma to mess up his mind, not to mention that the Dharma is not as unbearable as you imagined." Looking at Chen Zongyi, Chu Lao said lightly, an old friend for decades, he knows Old Man Chen's character very well.
Chen Zongyi nodded knowingly, and returned to the original place with Chu Lao, his heart was full of pride and expectation for Fang You, looking forward to what kind of state Fang You would reach after realizing those relics.
"Fang Xiaoyou, really has a fate with the Buddha, want to understand the Buddha in the relics, this request, we will not refuse, after this matter, we will make a special certificate of honor for Fang Xiaoyou, and the Buddhist Association will inform all the monasteries in China, Fang Xiaoyou with the certificate, has the qualification to enter any temple at any time, alone in the ashram to understand the Buddha's relics, I don't know if Fang Xiaoyou is satisfied." Master Huijie thought for a moment and made a decision.
Fang You wanted to borrow the Buddha's relics to make his state of mind more peaceful, so they naturally had to prepare for it, which was also a way to indirectly compensate Fang You.
After all, Fang You will be a precious national treasure of the Buddha's true body finger bone relics, free of charge to them, compared with this finger bone relics, to understand the Dharma, this is really not a requirement, Famen Temple because of the Buddha's true body finger bone relics, and has become a Buddhist holy place that the whole country looks up to, if this time plus a Buddha finger bone relics that are not in the record, it will make Famen Temple become a holy place for Buddhist believers around the world to look up to.
Master Huijie can imagine how much shock the Buddhist circles in these countries will be when today's events are spread to all countries in the world, and I am afraid that in the near future, China will become a place where Buddhist masters from all countries gather.
"Thank you Master Huijie, other than that, I don't have any requests, this Buddha's true body finger bone relic is now owned by your Buddhist Association." Fang You clasped his hands together and thanked Master Huijie.
Being able to enter any monastery at any time, alone in the ashram to comprehend the Buddha's true body relics, this is of great significance to Fang You, being alone in the ashram, or other people coexisting, these two situations are very different, and feeling alone, which will greatly increase his concealment.
After all, Fang You didn't know if in front of these Buddhist masters, if he absorbed the gray air flow in the relics, would they, the masters with profound Dharma, sense it.
"Amitabha, Fang Xiaoyou has made a great contribution to Buddhism, and it should be us who want to say thank you, Fang Xiaoyou, please put the relics in the brocade box, go out with us, announce our identification results to the outside world, and hold a relics giving ceremony." Master Huijie bowed to Fang You, and then said with a smile on his face.
The rest of the Buddhist masters are the same, Fang You put forward two requirements that they can do at will, it is really beyond their expectations, Fang You gave the Buddhist Association the true body relics free of charge, its contribution to Buddhism, it can be said that it is incomparably huge, it is no less than Tang Sanzang returned from the Western Regions, the relics enshrined in the Famen Temple brought back from India.
Fang You nodded, walked to the relic, titheed his hands towards the relic, and then gently put it into the brocade box.
Master Huijie smiled slightly, and walked towards the temple door with light steps, Chinese Buddhism can have the second Buddha's true body finger bone relics, which is the luck of China, the blessing of Buddhism, indicating that God blesses China, this kind of thing that helps to improve the prestige of Chinese Buddhism, they naturally want to do it.
Chu Lao and the others followed aside, hugging Master Huijie and Fang You who was holding a relic brocade box in the center, Chu Lao and several other old men had smiles on their faces, after this incident, it was conceivable that Fang You's fame would rise to a terrifying height.
Discovering the Buddha's true body relics and giving them to the Buddhist Association for free is absolutely shocking.
Out of the temple gate, the abbot of this small temple in Wuyang waited outside the temple gate, and when he saw Master Huijie and others, he couldn't help shouting the Buddha's name and bowing lightly.
Huijie master to return the gift, and asked him to prepare as soon as possible for a ceremony to use the items, the abbot nodded happily, and then went down to prepare, now it seems that this in Wuyang was found relics, has been identified as the Buddha's true body relics, for Wuyang, for his small temple, is a great honor, in the temple he presided over, identified the Buddha's true body relics, and held a gift ceremony, this honor, supreme.
Out of the temple gate, it is a large courtyard, and outside the temple gate dozens of meters in front of the temple gate, there are waiting for the major media from all over the country to get the news and rush to the major media, at this time to see the temple door open, several Buddhist masters in robes walked out, they have different expressions on their faces, there are expectations, there are worries, there are excitement, there are excitement, for a while, the crackling sound of the camera is endless, some people even can't help but want to rush in, but they are blocked back by the strong human wall composed of soldiers outside.
