PS: It's the middle of the month, and it's a new round of monthly ticket craze, please support it.

Just when some big bosses were thinking about it, the monk in the middle of the mountain smiled and said: "The poor monk is preparing to open the altar to teach the Dharma in the Dharma Hall, if you donors are interested, you might as well go over and listen." ”

When these big bosses heard this, how could they refuse, and they nodded their heads in agreement. Then they reluctantly looked back at the golden silk and jade silk, and at the same time followed the monk out of the abbot's room.

"It's a long time coming, and I'll come back ...... later"

With this in mind, everyone slowly came to the Dharma Hall.

The Dharma Hall is located behind the Daxiong Hall and is the place where the monks give lectures on the Dharma. It is said that when the Buddha was alive, in order to give a lecture on Buddhism to sentient beings, he specially established a Dharma hall to spread Buddhism.

In ordinary monasteries, there are very few Dharma halls set up, mainly in the Daxiong Hall to recite scriptures or hold Buddhist ceremonies. But who called the big boss who built the temple in the first place, Qian Duo, not only built the Dharma Hall, but also the Light Hall, the Sutra Hall, and the Lecture Hall.

In fact, the functions of these four halls have overlapped, and there is no need to build so many halls, but the big boss must have felt that the money was too much to burn his hands, so he built all the four halls. Of course, not to mention, the four halls are neatly opposite, and the building is very beautiful, which is indeed full of the grandeur of a large temple.

In addition, the temple building itself is made of ancient bricks and tiles, if it is not clear that this temple is only opened to establish a temple, I am afraid that everyone must think that this is a quiet ancient temple that has been inherited for hundreds of years, so the heritage is extraordinary.

There were probably hundreds of guests who came to visit the temple, and after hearing that the presiding abbot was preparing to open the altar to give a lecture, some interested people also rushed over.

At this moment, there were quite a few people sitting in the spacious Dharma Hall, which looked a little sparse, but it must have exceeded a hundred. In addition, there are some monks wearing different colors and styles of monk's robes, which are their counterparts in the monasteries in the capital.

Despite being competitors, they are different factions. But when people send invitations, for the sake of the face of the same Buddhism, it is not good not to come. So unless you really can't pull away, the monasteries that received the invitation will send people over.

The identity of the monks who came came was high and low, but after coming, they found that this temple was not a small temple as imagined, but a very large temple, and because of the relationship between the six generations of patriarchs, it was not considered to be without roots in the local area. has a foundation and strength, especially after seeing the Xuande Treasure Furnace. But it made many monks look at each other and scream wolf in their hearts.

Regardless of what these people think, anyway, when the monk came to the Dharma seat in the center of the Dharma hall, he felt that everyone had also come, and he simply began to talk about the Fa, talking about the four divisions of the Vinaya classics.

Speaking of which, this should be the first time that a monk in the middle of the mountain has opened the altar to preach the Fa, or the first time that he has sat on top of the Dharma hall and preached the Fa in front of so many believers. People in general. It's a little nervous to encounter such a situation. However, the monk in the middle of the mountain is very calm, his voice is subdued, and the meaning of the scriptures is simple to understand. Many people nodded their heads, as if they understood.

The reason why it seems to be said is that everyone is still a little unfamiliar with the scriptures and meanings of the Vinaya. Of course, it is undeniable, even if it is a familiar classic. Different monks will explain it differently.

Just like the classic works of Confucianism, there have been great Confucian commentaries in all dynasties. Each of them carried their own personal goods. In addition to the official designated textbooks, there must be similarities and differences in other annotated classics.

The Buddhist scriptures of each family are similar, so those who have heard the teachings of other eminent monks do not find it strange. Anyway, when you hear what you understand, you smile, and it doesn't matter what you don't understand, just ignore the past. If you are really interested, go back and ask the mage in the temple, and you will naturally find it clear.

The lecture continued, and no matter whether it was true or not, many people seemed to be listening to it with relish. And it's not a Dharma conference, and those peers don't have any doubts. Besides, even if you want to doubt it, you must first understand the meaning of the Vinaya, but unfortunately those monks estimate that no one has this ability. To put it mildly, you may not even fully understand the scriptures of your own sect, let alone dabble in the scriptures of other sects.

Therefore, the lecture of the monk in the middle of the mountain was not shocking, and after about half an hour, a chapter ended. He patiently answered some of the questions of the zealous devotees and then invited everyone to attend the upcoming puja.

To be exact, the highlight of the day is this puja.

There are also big pujas and small pujas. Whether a temple has a level or not, and what the background is, can be reflected in the puja. Even if the ordinary monastery knows the steps, but without the cooperation of enough monks, it will definitely not be able to play the grand water and land puja. To put it bluntly, whether a puja is good or not, and whether it can reflect that spectacular feeling, the key is cooperation.

No matter how many people there are, it's useless, otherwise you can just throw money and recruit hundreds of extras. But in fact, this trick is okay to use in a small puja, not at all in a grand puja.

After all, the more people participate in a grand puja, and the scheduling problems need to be guided by experienced mages, so that it can be as smooth as flowing water. The puja went smoothly, everything was in order, and the scene was spectacular.

Just like now, under the guidance of a dozen old monks, hundreds of people are methodically performing rituals one by one, hoping to be protected by the Buddha.

To be honest, the people who attend the festival are not necessarily believers. But Buddhism pays attention to the universality of sentient beings, and it certainly doesn't mind if you are a believer or not. As for those who are not believers, they would rather believe in their own beliefs and participate in the puja with great interest.

At this time, in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, more than 20 monks are divided into several rows left and right, chanting according to a certain rhythm, and there are also some monks holding copper pans, fighting drums, cymbals, handbells and other magic instruments to cooperate, coupled with the curtain hanging around the winding, making the treasure hall very solemn and solemn.

Under the guidance of the monks, one by one, they went in one by one, worshipping Lujana Buddha, Shakyamuni Buddha, Amitabha Buddha, and finally came to the monk in the middle of the mountain to receive his blessings.

The sound of chanting and Dharma instruments intersected with each other and reverberated in the spacious treasure hall. Such a solemn venue, as well as these soothing vocal music, naturally create an indescribable effect. Anyway, I was just going to be a lively person, but after feeling this atmosphere, I gradually took it seriously and participated in it respectfully.

"Bell!"

When the monks in the temple finished reciting a scripture, a priest struck the copper pan with his hand, signaling the end and a new beginning. But in an instant, the afterglow of the sound wave seemed to cause something to resonate, so that it changed very significantly.

"Huh!"

At this moment, not only the believers who were kneeling down to worship the Buddha in the temple, but also the monks who were about to recite another scripture, suddenly realized that something was wrong. Vaguely, they seemed to smell an inexplicable aroma.

There are no words to describe the texture of this aroma, but it makes people feel that the aroma is very light, as if it is absent, but it feels very clear. It is very contradictory, but this is a fact, which is even more surprising.

At first, some people thought that it was because of the Buddha's incense, but people with a keen sense of smell were very sure that there must be another aroma in the hall in addition to the Buddha's incense, but they just sniffed and searched carefully, but they couldn't find the source of the fragrance.

In addition to the surprise, there was a pause in the puja. Fortunately, an experienced old monk reacted, knocked the wooden fish casually, and began to guide again.

The chanting continued, and everything returned to normal.

However, that special aroma still exists, and believers must have thought it was the incense of the temple monks, but they just paid attention to it and didn't pay attention to it. At most, I think the quality of this Buddha incense is very good, and I will order it from the temple again. However, the monks who chanted the sutra knew that they had not arranged the incense.

However, since the puja was still in progress, some monks were not able to trace the cause no matter how curious they were, so they had to restrain their minds, chant the sutras attentively, and preside over the puja. At the same time, or even the monks in the temple did not notice it, and the aroma spread with the sound of their chanting. Originally, it was just lingering in the temple, but now it has spread outside the temple.

"This aroma...... It's so special! ”

"What kind of fragrance is this, it smells a little pleasant."

All of a sudden, the attendees noticed the aroma and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. However, he realized that he was still attending the puja, so the disturbance quickly subsided.

Still, when they perceive the aroma, many people unconsciously feel refreshed.

After all, attending a puja in the middle of a hot day, even if it is blocked by the high walls of the temple, will still be hot. In particular, the ritual of the puja is also a bit cumbersome, and in the process of tossing, even the most devout believers have a sense of irritability.

However, at this time, a wisp of delicate fragrance wafted in, which seemed to have a soothing effect. Anyway, under the effect of this aroma, some people became calmer, and even felt as if the weather was not as hot as it was just now.

The heart is calm and naturally cool, this old saying is vividly expressed at this time.

At the same time, a few of the big bosses who had just been blessed and came out of the Daxiong Treasure Hall got together again, and they were also talking about the aroma in a whisper.

"Did you notice?" A big boss touched his chin and said, "The aroma seems to have come out suddenly, without any signs at all, not even a source." ”

"That's right, when the fragrance appeared, I worshiped the Buddha in the temple." Another big boss nodded and said, "All of a sudden, it appeared inexplicably." I could see it very clearly, and even the master who was chanting next to me didn't seem to know what was going on, and a blank expression passed over his face. ”

"No, someone seems to know what's going on." A boss said softly: "After the master of the mid-levels was stunned, his eyes seemed to be aimed at the golden pagoda......"

"Golden Pagoda?" In an instant, several big bosses looked at each other. Only after half a ring did someone wonder and speculate: "Could it be that the relics of the six generations of patriarchs have appeared?" (To be continued......)
