Chapter 587: Master of the Void Cloud
"Let's go over and see what's going on! This is also the door of the Void Cloud Master, if something happens, if we help, we may be able to leave a good impression on the Void Cloud Master. After Chen Bai'an heard the noise coming from the direction of the Shwedagon Pagoda, his eyes lit up, and he spoke to everyone urgently.
Hearing this, they nodded, and walked towards the place where the voice had come. When they got closer, they saw a group of big monks and some tourists wearing yellow robes and holding black umbrellas in front of the Shwedagon Pagoda. These great monks and tourists stretched out their fingers and pointed, and there was a look of disgust on their faces, and the noise came from the mouths of them.
And when the crowd looked around the middle direction, everyone couldn't help but gasp. It turned out that there was an old monk lying on the ground in front of the Shwedagon Pagoda, chanting Buddhist scriptures in his mouth.
You must know that Yangon is a tropical region, the temperature is extremely high, and the floor of the Shwedagon Pagoda is covered with marble, and the stone bricks are as hot as fire after the strong sun. When Lin Bai and the others came over, they didn't see the kind of people who came to worship the Buddha on the tower, but those people were walking on a straw mat on the floor tiles, and they didn't dare to touch the marble slabs like coals.
But the monk in front of everyone is worshipping the Buddha on a stone like fire, and he is still practicing the method of throwing five bodies to the ground. Although under the high temperature, his back was already wet and sweaty, but he didn't realize it.
Buddhism pays attention to self-cultivation and is not angry or angry, but these great monks are full of anger on their faces; And from the attitude of the taxi driver towards the Shwedagon Temple just now, it is not difficult to find that the people here should have great respect for the monks. And according to common sense, this kind of behavior of bowing down to serve the Buddha without fear of the heat should be extremely respected, but it doesn't seem to be the case with the current situation?
"What you worship is Hinayana Zen asceticism, which is different from our Burmese Mahayana Tantra. This is not the place where you broadcast your faith, Pudu people, you have the place you need to go, don't stay in Yangon anymore! Just when everyone was wondering, an old monk with a solemn appearance walked out of the group of great monks, and said in a deep voice to the man on the ground in a stiff Chinese language.
The man on the ground didn't seem to hear the words of the old monk, but knelt on the ground by himself, and kept chanting Buddhist mantras in his mouth, the sound was like a bell, deafening, and there was a faint tendency to suppress the old monk's voice.
"Xuyun, you have a saying in Huaxia, and the Tao is not the same. You and I Burmese Buddhism are different paths, why do you insist on mixing together! And we read that you are also a hundred years old, all day long good words and persuasion, and the ascetic journey is arduous, if you give up this way, and we participate in the tantric method, all the people in my temple will be treated as guests! The old monk said solemnly.
Void clouds?! Why is this old man lying on the ground actually called a void cloud?! According to Chen Bai'an, Master Xuyun is a Buddhist master, and he should be respected by thousands of people in Yangon.
When Lin Bai and the others heard this, they couldn't help but feel suspicious in their hearts, and they couldn't help but look at Chen Bai'an, but they saw that he was also confused.
"The Buddha said that all beings are equal. Since there is equality, how can there be a difference! After a long time, the Xuyun lying on the ground finally stopped chanting, slowly opened his mouth, and continued: "As for the hard work of penance, it is even more junior brother, you have gone astray, bowing down to serve the Buddha, the Buddha's light in your heart is flickering, why do you come to be tired and tired!" ”
When he heard the voice of the old man on the ground, Chen Bai'an's expression changed greatly, his face was full of excitement, and even his fingers trembled slightly. But there was a look of disbelief in his eyes, this voice was the same as his old friend Xuyun, but how could the master with an unparalleled reputation in China become what he is now?!
Hearing Xuyun's words, the solemn old monk's face was a little unbearable, full of blue and white, and after snorting coldly, he said in a deep voice: "Since you are still so persistent, then I won't say anything more." If you still want to place an order in the Shwedagon Temple, then let the Vena of the temple reward you with 20 incense boards in public. ”
"The Buddha is in his heart, all external things are false, since the junior brother has rewarded it, then I will gladly accept it!" The old monk on the ground slowly got up, folded his hands, and after reciting the Buddha's name, his eyes lowered and said indifferently.
It was only at this time that Lin Bai could see the face of this void cloud clearly. He has a clear face, a gray beard under his chin, and a rickety body, which looks extremely old. On the body, he was wearing a white monk's robe, although there were patches on it, but it was clean.
After seeing the old man's face clearly, Chen Bai'an's lips couldn't move, and his face was even more excited, which old man is not the master of Xuyun! But just as he took a step forward and wanted to recognize Master Xuyun, a group of great monks with incense boards in their hands, tigers on their backs, and fierce faces rushed out from the Dajin Temple.
The incense board is a wooden board used to maintain the rules and order of the Buddhist Sangha, which is shaped like a sword and is mostly made of bamboo and wood. But at this time, the incense boards in the hands of these great monks were dark and shiny, obviously made of pig iron.
"Xuyun, it's still too late for you to wake up at this time! You and I are both Buddhist disciples, and I can't bear to let you suffer from flesh and skin! After seeing the arrival of a group of precept monks holding incense sticks, the solemn old monk made a fake look of compassion on his face, and persuaded Master Xuyun again.
Master Xuyun's face was full of smiles, and he whispered the Buddha's name, and then said indifferently: "Senior brother, you are looking good again, good-looking:!" The Buddha said that there are eight sufferings, including the suffering of birth, the suffering of old age, the suffering of illness, the suffering of death, the suffering of resentment, the suffering of not begging, and the suffering of the five yin, but how can the suffering of the skin and flesh come from? ”
"Rao your tongue blooming lotus, lying to confuse the public, but after all, it is the essence of this twenty-spice board! Give it to me! The solemn old monk was robbed of by Master Xuyun, and the fake compassion on his face suddenly converged, and he swept his cold eyebrows towards Master Xuyun, waved his hand, and motioned for those monks to do it.
The incense board made of pig iron is already powerful, even if ordinary people are hit by a few boards, they will have to open their skin, not to mention the old man who is more than 100 years old in Master Xuyun! Seeing that those precept monks were about to hold the pig iron incense plate and hit Master Xuyun, how could Chen Bai'an continue to sit idly by, take a step forward, and scolded coldly: "Who dares to touch my old friend?!" ”
"Who are you who dare to stop me from driving the precepts of Buddhism?" Seeing that someone actually came out to stop the movements of the monks who prescribed the precepts, the solemn old monk's face suddenly became more and more displeased, and after sweeping his eyes at Chen Bai'an, he scolded sharply.
"I'll go to your uncle's precepts!" I haven't seen my old friend for many years, but now when I met, I saw my old friend being so humiliated, how could Chen Bai'an bear it, and after bursting a foul language at the solemn old monk, he turned his head to look at Master Xuyun and said in a trembling voice: "Old monk Xuyun, I haven't seen you for so many years, why do you go back more and more when you live, and you still have to suffer from this kind of person!" ”
"Cause and effect are involved, and everything in the world is nothing more than born of the heart! Old friend Chen, you haven't seen you for so many years, but this irascible temper has not changed at all! Master Xuyun glanced at Chen Bai'an, his face showed a touch of joy, and after saying a few words with a wry smile, he clasped his hands together, whispered a Dharma name, and said indifferently: "Old friend Chen, get out of the way, let them beat the little monk!" ”
"None of you can run! Forming up evil sects, obstructing the precepts of Buddhism, insulting Buddhist monks, and disrupting the purity of Buddhism, how can I, Euchadilla, allow you to act so recklessly! Yuchadila glanced at Chen Bai'an and Master Xuyun, sneered, and shouted at those precept monks: "Do it for me, don't be merciful, I see who else dares to be disrespectful to my Shwedagon Temple in the future!" ”
As soon as the words fell, those precept monks did not hesitate, raised the black iron incense plate in their hands, and slapped their heads and faces towards Master Xuyun and Chen Bai'an. Seeing this scene, how could Lin Bai still endure it, he immediately stepped out, stretched out his hand, and knocked a precept monk to the ground, snatched the incense board from his hand, and waved it around, knocking the remaining people to the ground.
The situation turned around in an instant, and the tourists who were watching couldn't help but be dumbfounded! Why are these precept monks with tigers and bears on their backs just like this, and they are being pushed to the ground in such an instant, and they are crying and wailing one by one!
"Xuyun, the best friend you've made! Being so disrespectful to my Buddhist monks, do you still have the slightest thought of the Three Jewels of Buddhism in your heart?! Keep bowing down to serve the Buddha, purifying the common people, but allowing your friends to do such a violent thing, do you feel a little ashamed in your heart? Seeing that the situation was not good, Yuchadila took a sharp step back, and the inward-looking Master Chong Xuyun accused.
Seeing that this old guy was about to splash dirty water on Master Xuyun, Lin Bai smiled coldly and said lightly: "The Buddha said that he has full precepts, Bo Luoyi, the monk and the mother-in-law, the uncertain, the sacrificial fall, the single fall, the Boroti Tisheni, the public learning, and the extinction!" How many more did you obedience, old fellow? What I did was purely because I couldn't get used to it, what did I have to do with Master Xuyun! ”
Lin Bai quoted scriptures, and his words were extremely aggressive, and every word was directed at Yuchadila's misconduct, which made the old guy's face more and more blue and white, and his body trembled, but he couldn't say half a sentence at all.
"Everything arises because of me, Buddhism has precepts, and I should abide by them as a Buddha! Old friend Chen and this little friend don't have to stop it, junior brother, you don't have to be embarrassed, I will punish myself! At this moment, Master Xuyun suddenly picked up an incense board from the ground and struck it down on his body, causing flesh and blood to flow for a while, and the scene was extremely miserable.
Seeing this, the onlookers' expressions changed drastically, and there was no sympathy for Master Xuyun between their words, and even more so they kept pointing at Yuchatira! Seeing that he was about to arouse the anger of the people, Yuchadila snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and led everyone back to the temple.
The sound of snapping was endless, and the snow-white robe on Master Xuyun's body was also soaked in flesh and blood into the color of fresh sleeves, but his face was still extremely solemn, and everyone in the audience couldn't help but feel a sense of kinship in their hearts, and at the same time, they also had endless respect for Master Xuyun.
