Chapter 40: The Strange Blind Man Gives Books

Chapter 40 blames the blind man for giving books

Seeing that Hao Xiu had left, Jia Le, who was very sleepy, lay down and fell asleep again, and didn't get up until the sun reached his buttocks, and looked at his watch It was already more than 10 o'clock in the morning. Jia Le usually gets up very early at home, even if he occasionally sleeps lazy, his parents will wake him up to eat after cooking, and I am really not used to hearing my parents call me to get up today.

For his parents not to wake him up to eat, Jia Le was worried that something was wrong. He quickly put on his clothes and ran out of the house in a few steps, looked around the courtyard, and saw that there was no movement, so he called his parents a few more times. I didn't hear my parents respond, so I hurriedly ran to my parents' house to take a look, but there was no one. I realized that it was my parents who didn't wake me up to eat because they weren't at home. As soon as I walked out of my parents' room, I suddenly remembered that in the evening his mother had said that my brother was going to take the exam today, and she was going to cheer for my brother with her father, and I would come back together when my brother finished the exam.

"I'm just worried that my parents will know that Hao Xiu's sister-in-law and I are sleeping in the same bed, and they actually forgot about it! No way! Gotta clean up the house for my brother quickly! Otherwise, it won't be good to wait for my brother to come back and sleep without a clean house! Jia Le muttered to the kitchen to make some simple food, and after eating, he began to clean up the house for his brother.

The floor was cleaned, the tables, chairs and benches were cleaned, and the glass was polished, Jia Le stood at the door of his brother's room, looking at everything he had just cleaned up, but he always felt that something was missing, and he was not very satisfied. But he couldn't say exactly what was missing, it was just a feeling.

After cleaning up his brother's house, it was already noon, Jia Le washed his hands and face, went to the kitchen to eat some leftover meals from the morning, looking at the scorching sun hanging in the sky, his body was sweating, and it was impossible to work in the field. I was in the same bed with Hao Xiu last night, and I didn't sleep much. Although he slept until more than 10 o'clock to get up, he was still sleepy and yawned, Jia Le knew that he still needed to make up for sleep, and was about to go back to the house to take another nap, and then go down to work in the field after getting up, when an old man's cough suddenly came from outside the door, and Jia Le knew that it was a strange blind man.

The blame for the blind is actually not blind, because he usually likes to read, and his eyes are highly myopia, and he can only see clearly when he sees things an inch away from his eyes, like a blind man; Blame the blind man's real name, Jia Le doesn't know! The people in the village didn't know about it, but they heard that the strange blind man's behavior was very strange before, so the people in the village called him the strange blind man.

It's strange that the blind man babbles in his mouth one day, and when he sees people, he likes to tell historical allusions, and talk about princes and generals. The only person in the village who doesn't hide from him is Jia Le, so he likes to tell Jia Le very much, sometimes he asks Jia Le to listen to him, sometimes he doesn't even say hello to Jia Le's house, if Jia Le is at home, he runs to his house to chat and tell him stories, if Jia Le is not at home, he simply chats with Jia Le's parents, drinks tea and leaves on his own.

Jia Le likes to listen to the stories told by the blind man, even if some of the stories told by the blind man over and over again, Jia Le still can't get tired of listening to them. Of course, more often than not, the blind man would tell him stories he hadn't heard. There are no shortage of historical allusions to princes and generals, but Jia Le prefers the Buddhist stories he tells.

There were a lot of books in the strange blind man's room, most of them were about Buddhism, and Jia Le liked to read them, but most of them couldn't understand them.

Although the strange blind man also lives in this village, he is not a local, he came to this village more than ten years ago, I heard the villagers say that after he came to this village, he did nothing, during the day from house to house, and when he saw a child, he went up and grabbed people's little hands, pinched people's little bones, and made the child cry in fright when he saw him, if it weren't for the fact that he used some strange things to cure some sick people in the village and did not charge people money, he would have been kicked out of this village a long time ago.

Many people often saw the blind man looking up at the stars in the sky when they passed by the house where the blind man lived, always muttering words in his mouth but not making out what they were, and his fingers were constantly pinching things. The people of the village had long been accustomed to the strange behavior of the blind man, so no one bothered him.

The strange blind man sometimes reminds some villagers to avoid accidents, but at first, those villagers don't believe it. Who has nothing to do to listen to a madman who seems to be babbling about something! The result of zuihou is that those who believe in what he said have escaped the accident safe and sound, and those who don't believe his words have accidents and even after someone dies, there are rumors among those people in the village that he is a master with magic power who can predict good luck and evil, and since there were rumors, many people have come to him to see good luck and evil, but the blame blind man never shows people, and he can't give gifts, even if he goes to him with a lot of money, he doesn't look at it.

But there are exceptions, Jia Lejia is an exception, the strange blind man came to the village a few days after Yujian Jia Le, who was only a few years old at the time, when he saw Jia Le's cute appearance, he directly hugged Jia Le and made Jia Le laugh, since then, the strange blind man often led Jia Le to play, told Jia Le stories, taught Jia Le to learn, and even those obscure Buddhist scriptures He would tell Jia Le some.

Usually, as long as Jia Le is naughty and makes a mistake, he will hide in the strange blind man and let the strange blind man send him back, every time the strange blind man sends him, his father and mother will no longer use a feather duster to enforce the family law. No matter how big a mistake he made, as long as he blamed the blind man for saying a few words to his parents, her parents would forgive him, at most, his mother would say a few words to him that didn't hurt or itch.

Strange blind people sometimes take the initiative to go to Jia Le's house, and usually ask Jia Le to tell stories. But sometimes he came to his parents, sometimes he told his father not to let his father go out on a certain day, and sometimes he told his parents some precautions at home. Over the years, with the guidance of a strange blind man, Jia Le's family has always been safe and sound, and there has been no disaster.

Of course, Jia Le's father and mother sometimes do something delicious to improve the food, and they will also ask Jia Le to send it to the strange blind man. After all, the blame blind man is a person who lives alone, lonely and helpless.

When the strange blind man went around the village, he would occasionally remind some people to pay attention to accidents, and when someone asked him if he didn't show it to the people who were looking for him, he always said that fate originated and perished, and there was a fate to meet each other, and there was no reason to force it. He said that he was just waiting for people here, and he didn't have the magic power that everyone said, and he could predict any good luck and evil, and he was just an ordinary person. But when asked who he was waiting for, he said that he had not yet appeared and maybe not been born, and for a while the people in the village said that he was a strange person, but after a long time, it was not strange to see that he was kind and kind, and there was no harm to the village, so he naturally treated him as a villager.

Blame the blind man for not telling Jia Le a story today, and after chatting with him about the seedlings of the crops in the field and the affairs of the family, he suddenly asked: "Jia Le, are you nineteen?" Do you know your birth date? ”

Jia Le thought for a while and said, "I don't know my birth date, if my mother said that I was born at 4:44 p.m. on April 4, I have already passed my birthday, and I can be said to be nineteen years old!" When she gave birth to me, her family was reluctant to buy a watch, and she also heard what the doctor said. ”

The strange blind man nodded and said, "Nineteen years old, it's time to start a family, I saw the sunset yesterday afternoon with the light of the Buddha, watching the sky at night, and the emperor star fell on your house." I knew that you were the one I was waiting for. ”

"The sunset is hidden with the light of Buddha? Emperor Star landed in my house? Jia Le scratched his head, he didn't officially graduate from junior high school, and he didn't understand what the strange blind man meant.

The strange blind man smiled and said: "When I came to this village, I lived for more than ten years, do you know that it is weishenme?" ”

Jia Le nodded and said, "I know, after you came, the people in the village said that you were waiting for someone, and you also said that you told them that the person you were waiting for might not have been born yet!" ”

The strange blind man said, "The man I am waiting for has appeared, do you know who it is?" ”

Jia Le shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

The strange blind man pointed at Jia Le and said meaningfully: "The small is hidden in the wilderness, the middle is hidden in the city, and the big is hidden in the court." Sooner or later you're going to have to fly out of this little mountain village. ”

"What do you mean? You won't say you're waiting for me, are you? Jia Le was puzzled and asked the blind man. As for what is hidden, he doesn't care to ask.

"It's yours!" The blame blind man didn't answer, took out a picture scroll and a golden book from his arms, and held them in both hands and gave them to Jia Le.

"What is this?" Jia Le took the scroll and opened it, but there was no painting on it, but it was written in traditional characters: "Prajna Bo Ruomi Heart Sutra."

When contemplating the bodhisattva of freedom and walking in the deep prajnaparamita,

See that the five aggregates are empty, and overcome all suffering.

The relics are not different from the color, and the emptiness is not different from the color; Color is emptiness, and emptiness is color. The same is true of what you want to do.

The relics are the empty phase of all the laws, which are neither born nor destroyed, neither dirty nor pure, nor increased nor decreased.

Therefore, there is no color in the air, no thoughts, no knowledge, no eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, no color, sound, fragrance, and touch.

There is no vision, even the unconscious, there is no ignorance, there is no end to ignorance;

Even if there is no old age and death, there is no old age and death; There is no suffering to gather and destroy the Tao, and there is no wisdom and no gain.

With nothing to gain, Bodhisattva, according to Prajnaparamita, has no obstacles in his mind.

There is no obstacle, no terror, far from upside-down dreams, nirvana.

The Buddhas of the three worlds, according to Prajnaparamita, attained the three bodhisattvas of Anuttara.

Therefore, it is known that Prajnaparamita is a great mantra, a great mantra, and a supreme mantra.

It is an unequal mantra that removes all suffering.

It is true, so it is said that the Prajnaparamita mantra.

That is to say, the mantra says: Revealing the truth of the Buddha

Although Jia Le didn't officially graduate from junior high school, the strange blind man used to let him read some books with traditional Chinese characters, and taught him hand-in-hand, so he still knew these words.

"Isn't this the Prajnapara Sutra? You taught me before, how can you give me this now! Jia Le asked suspiciously.

"Hmmm! This is the Prajnapara Sutra, just put it away! It's best to keep it in mind! The strange blind man said.

Hearing the strange blind man say this, Jia Le didn't ask again, and after reciting it silently, he put it away.
