Chapter 754: "Divine Power"
PS: Today's first update, please support a lot and ask for a monthly pass.
Under the sunlight, whether it is a huge lacquered gold Buddha statue or a golden pagoda, it exudes a very attractive luster, which dazzles the people who go in to burn incense and worship the Buddha.
"Look, everyone, there seems to be something in the pagoda...... "At this moment, someone calmed down and immediately found that in the tower bottle of the golden pagoda, there were also bursts of bright light, I don't know what kind of treasure it is.
At this time, a kind old monk walked out and said softly: "Amitabha, this is the relic of the sixth generation of patriarchs of my sect. ”
"Relic?"
"Six generations of patriarchs?"
Everyone was very curious, and the old monk also seized the opportunity to carefully explain the deeds of the six generations of patriarchs. The reason for this is to show that although their monastery is newly opened, it also has a certain historical background and is not a pure new temple. This can not only win the hearts of the local people, but also not make peers too hostile, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Besides, this is a fact in the first place, and I am not afraid to verify it. The old monk also said it justifiably and worthy of his heart......
When some people listened to the old monk talk about the glorious deeds of the six generations of patriarchs in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, some people slowly came to the abbot's room under the guidance of Mrs. Tang. It can be said that these people are either rich or noble, and they usually respect Buddhism, so Mrs. Tang brought these to the abbot's room, where they were personally received by the monks of the Mid-Levels, and preached the Dharma by the way.
Of course, the excuse must be this one, and in fact there must be something else.
It's like now, a big boss just walked into the abbot's room, and when he looked up, he was stunned. He stood by the doorway, not moving.
"Eh, why don't you leave?" The person in the back said strangely: "Why are you blocking the door?" ”
Between words. When the probe saw it, he immediately exclaimed: "Ah! ”
"What's wrong, what's wrong?"
"Don't get in the way."
In the midst of a urging sound, the big boss at the front came to his senses, and immediately turned around and said with a serious expression: "Don't make noise, so as not to disturb the true Buddha." ”
"True Buddha?"
In the stunned gaze of some people, the big boss gave up his position, and the people behind entered the abbot's room one after another. Seeing the situation indoors, they understood what the big boss meant, and they all held their breath. Look at it intently.
Unlike places such as the Heavenly King Hall and the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the abbot's room of the monks in the mid-levels is very simple. There are no tables, chairs and benches or anything like that, just a cloud bed two or three inches high from the ground, and a few cases on one side, plus some tuanpu.
Wang Guan can prove that this is definitely not contrived. Because when I was in Singapore, the room of a mid-level monk was so simple. If there's any decoration, it's the calligraphy hanging on the wall. The law characters written by the monks themselves in the middle of the mountain are dripping with ink. Quite a bit of skill.
But at this moment, no one is in the mood to appreciate any calligraphy, let alone feel that the abbot's room is shabby and shabby. Because at this time, all their minds were focused on the golden silk hanging in the air.
At this time. The sunlight shines through the window and falls right on the golden silk. The Sanskrit characters on the silk are like the sun, moon and stars shining with strange light, more like a rotating galaxy. Orbiting around a Buddha. The Buddha is like a dream, looming, sitting in the void. It is full of mystery and magnificence.
Such a scene is more shocking than the scene of smoke melting lotus outside. To tell the truth, if it weren't for the presence of other people next to him, people couldn't wipe their faces, and it was estimated that there would be a big boss who knelt down and worshiped on the spot.
However, the current situation is similar, all the big bosses do not squeak, and they all look at the golden silk and jade silk with longing eyes, and then bow three times and bow nine times with their minds.
Of course, this is not to say that no one sees that the silk silk is an artifact. But even if you can see it, what about it? The Gongbu sword was also cast by the ancients, and the Heshi Bi was also carved by craftsmen, but does anyone dare to say that these two things are not treasures?
In the same way, there is no doubt about the preciousness of gold silk and jade silk, after all, the ancients carefully crafted such a thing, which itself is an immeasurable value. What's more, for the devout believers, the process of making things is not important, but the effect of the things after they are formed.
Now these big bosses have Buddha in their eyes, which naturally makes the Buddha in their hearts expand infinitely, and the moment they see the golden silk and jade silk, there is only pious faith left in their minds, where will they doubt anything.
"Amitabha, donors, please take a seat."
At the same time, someone in the abbot's room spoke, and it was a monk in the middle of the mountain. At this time, he had changed into a relatively simple monk's robe, and it was no longer as gorgeous as just now. At this time, he was sitting under the golden silk and jade silk, but those big bosses only looked at the real Buddha, but ignored his existence.
Hearing the words of the monk in the middle of the mountain at the right time, a group of big bosses came back to their senses, and they were a little embarrassed. Then there was no need for the monk in the middle of the mountain to greet him again, and they all sat down on the group.
From the kneeling posture of these people, we know that they must have visited the Buddha regularly. Otherwise, the posture will not be so skillful, and there will be no discomfort. That's why the incense of the major temples across the country is becoming more and more prosperous, and their strong support is absolutely indispensable behind it.
After sitting down, a big boss couldn't help but point to the golden silk and jade silk hanging in the air, and said with reverence on his face: "Master, what is the origin of this Buddha treasure?" ”
The others also looked at the monk in the middle of the mountain and listened attentively.
"This is the Buddha treasure that Emperor Qianlong specially convened the world's eminent monks to hold a Dharma meeting in order to celebrate the 80th birthday of the Queen Mother." The monk explained that there was some ambiguity in his words.
As long as you analyze it carefully, you will know that there is a little water in this statement. Or that he deliberately ignored the process of making things, but it wasn't a lie, after all, the origin was also clear.
In fact, the big boss was already satisfied when he heard this explanation, and he no longer got to the bottom of it.
The reaction of the others was similar, and their eyes looked at the golden silk and jade silk solemnly, full of amazement. It turned out to be a treasure blessed by ancient monks, no wonder when I entered the abbot's room, I felt an unusual atmosphere.
Of course, this may be the psychological effect. However, faith itself is a kind of psychological suggestion, and this golden silk plays this role to the extreme. People don't consciously feel inexplicable when they see it, and there is a psychology of refuge and worship. To a certain extent, a piece of silk can achieve such an effect, which is naturally a very rare treasure.
Anyway, for these big bosses, faith is to a large extent just ordinary spiritual comfort. It's just that I feel that the intrigue in the business field, the fierce social competition is very stressful, and the soul is very tired, so I want to get a moment of peace in the busy schedule. It's not that they are tired of the worldly life, otherwise they would have seen through the red dust and become monks.
Therefore, the beliefs of these people are in fact utilitarian. In other words, the Chinese's belief in gods and Buddhas is itself full of utilitarian colors. If you bless me, then I will naturally worship sincerely, and if I feel that you don't bless me one day, it is common to immediately turn my face and scold.
Most of the people are pseudo-believers, and those who truly believe in religion are estimated to be very few.
Anyway, there is no doubt that these big bosses are pseudo-believers, and their beliefs are naturally more utilitarian. Either he hoped that the Buddha would protect him with a prosperous business, good health, and many children, or he would seek spiritual liberation and achieve the goal of temporarily escaping the world.
The essence of religious belief is to escape from reality.
However, different sects have a variety of ways to help people escape from reality. The most common ones are naturally chanting, preaching, and holding rituals, otherwise they are drawing talismans, eating fasting, and practicing boxing. Anyway, there are so many sects, and there are even more "supernatural powers", so there is always one suitable for you. Therefore, as long as the method works, no matter how small sects do not enter the stream, they will not worry about not having the support of believers.
However, now these people have found that the effect of the golden silk seems to be very powerful. They gazed intently at the Buddha on the silk for a moment, and then they felt that the troubles and sorrows in their hearts gradually subsided.
Divine powers, perhaps the meaning of mental power. Obviously, Jin Siyu Silk has such "magical powers", and it is no wonder that these big bosses are so excited and eager. After all, they also have the habit of burning incense in temples and worshipping Buddha in temples. Over the years, I have traveled south and north, and I have also worshiped many masters and real people, which can be called experienced and tested for a long time.
The general "supernatural powers" have no obvious effect on them. It is for this reason that they understand the preciousness of gold silk and jade silk. If you are in a bad mood and irritable one day, you don't need the enlightenment of the master, you just need to kneel next to the golden silk and jade silk, carefully visit the Buddha, and then recite one or two verses, and it is estimated that the mood will be naturally peaceful.
This is the gap between having faith and not believing, when Wang Guan looked at the gold silk and jade silk, he noticed and sighed at the level of craftsmanship of things and things, but the monks in the middle of the mountain and these big bosses started from the perspective of faith and practice, and the conclusions were naturally different. Therefore, in the hands of Wang Guan, things are completely tyrannical, and if they are placed here by the monks in the middle of the mountain, they are called complementing each other.
In fact, the moment they noticed the "supernatural powers" of the golden silk and jade silk, some big bosses decided that no matter what the level of the monks was, they intended to become loyal customers of the Banshan Temple, or pious believers.
However, no matter how pious the faith, it can't change the shrewd nature of the big bosses and businessmen, and some people feel that it is difficult for the Banshan Temple, which has two treasures of Buddhism, not to prosper.
Suddenly, many people began to understand why the Tang Group dared to take over the project at the foot of the mountain temple, and even a few people were already considering whether to sit on the nearby land and wait for the appreciation...... (To be continued......)
