Queen Puya went out of the palace to inspect the people, because the queen did not want to attract too much attention, so the guard of honor was not very large, but it was solemn and orderly.

Xiao Jingluan, who has always relied on the queen, did not come with him. Jingluan personally led his army to inspect another city-state, and would turn around to follow Puyamedo after the order was right, and lead his troops to follow the queue and escort him all the way.

So beside the queen's carved totem and jade tortoiseshell float, the person who rode a white horse and wore a crown to protect him all the way became the national teacher who was not qualified to go hand in hand.

However, Puya's mood seems to be very good, it is not only a natural excitement when inspecting the city-state and accepting the worship of the subjects, but also seems to be mixed with some novelty about the people around him to become national teachers. She was dressed in a bright gold background, painted and embroidered with peacock feathers, and her graceful figure was not concealed in solemnity, and the two gold lines at the corners of her eyes hooked into her temples showed the sacred majesty of the queen and her inviolability. The float moves forward slowly all the way, and a ray of sunlight shines on the wall of the car, and soon it disperses again, shining like splitting gold through waves.

Fadu raised his hand, subconsciously lifted the crown on his head, which was somewhat similar to that of the lama, held the reins in one hand, and slowly moved the string of large Bodhi prayer beads hanging around his neck with the other hand. He has been in Linchang for so long, but he has always been in the palace and has not really visited the people of Linchang, and now it is the first time to truly appreciate the thick culture and vicissitudes of this ancient and leisurely country.

The city of Linchang is really not barren, the rows of people's squares and the two-story small buildings are hunting wine flags, the people are full of joyful smiles and holy eyes, the sturdy men and ruddy women, the old people with crane hair but eyes are full of spirit, and the happy and healthy children...... All of this brings out the richness of this miraculous desert oasis!

Because Fadu's dress and his own irreproducible temperament, as well as his position on the side of the queen's float, were extremely eye-catching, some subjects soon noticed that the person who was supporting the city during this year's city patrol was not Xiao Jingluan, who was favored by the queen, but such a complete stranger. There was a low murmur in the crowd on either side.

Walking slowly all the way, Fadu probably heard some, basically guessing his identity, some didn't know at all, and some of them guessed that he was the new monk and national teacher. However, the most heartfelt and gratifying thing about the Dharma was that among the subjects of Linchang there were also devout believers in Buddhism, and he was soon recognized as a disciple of Nashakti and an ascetic Zen master......

After such a long time in his detention career, how many years of spring and autumn fruits have passed in a blink of an eye, and there is no trace of too much ink and color in Fadu's eyes and heart. However, every time I meet a practitioner like myself in an unfamiliar place, whether it is a disciple of my own sect or a fellow practitioner of another sect, Fadu is thrilled and happy!

This is a unique kind of love and willingness to see the way of heaven, the truth and goodness, and the great beauty of the world, and to see the great ambition that takes root and sprouts, and cannot be fully understood unless you are yourself......

Pu Ya was also aware of the discussion of the law around her, and of course there was some speculation about why Xiao Jingluan had not served the monarch this year. She laughed it off, raised her hand and gestured all the way to the prostrate and worshipping subjects, and from time to time raised all kinds of fresh petals from the basket woven with mint branches, which is also an old custom of the Linchang Kingdom, the queen herself will scatter the petals representing peace and blessing to her people, this rare grace will make the subjects eliminate suffering and disease. The people of Linchang believe in this ancient, generational ritual, which is a very strong belief in truth, goodness, and beauty, and is as exciting as the Dharma!

Fa Du walked and observed all the way, and saw Puya's ritual of raising flowers in the air and petals carrying good wishes and falling into the subjects one after another, his heart moved shallowly, and he couldn't help but look sideways and whispered to her: "This ritual of sprinkling flowers and praying for blessings is somewhat similar to the 'Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers' in my religion. "Immediately paused," most of them are beautiful haode visions, and sure enough, all religions have the same origin. ”

This low voice slowly entered his ears by a gust of wind, and Puya looked at him sideways: "Oh? "It seems that my Linchang is really destined for the Buddha committee in the mouth and heart of the national teacher, and maybe the Buddhism will blossom and bear fruit in Linchang one day!" A joke that was unintentionally smooth, but it was really strange, Puya's heart was inexplicably relieved when he spoke, and it was a kind of phantom pious feeling that slowly spread to his calm heart.

Fatalistic, Fadu's heart also moved, as if Fang Cai's unintentional words would be some kind of willful instruction in the dark, and suddenly he was in awe: "Now the poor monk is already the national teacher of Linchang, and he still wants to ask the queen for a life...... As long as the queen agrees, the poor monks are willing to do their best to root my Buddhism in Linchang, and one day it will bear fruit and enlighten sentient beings, and Pudu will lift more people out of the sea of suffering and reach the other side of the paradise. ”

Although it was due to the timing, the testimonies were a little hasty. But the piety on the face and the sincerity revealed between the lines have not diminished at all!

When he talks about Zen, he can easily evoke a trickle of rain to dive into the depths of his heart whenever and wherever he wants. Fang Cai's sentence that is not long or short is a little abrupt, but when you think about it, you feel that it is very homeopathic. Since the queen insisted on letting him serve as the national teacher even though she knew the identity of the Dharma Wandering Monk, it was tantamount to acquiescing in his identity and the Taoism and teachings he wanted to advocate.

Pu Ya suddenly came back to his senses, and only realized these things after realizing it! Her heart subconsciously had a wisp of mustard, which was the instinct of the monarch; Soon, however, the mustard dissipated and even became a faint tendency...... Maybe she has really been influenced by the Dharma, even though she has not chosen to believe in the Dharma, but she believes in the Dharma.

A wisp of playfulness suddenly rippled in Puya's heart, her eyes turned, and she patronized Xiang Fadu with a scorching eye: "If you want me to agree to your request to propagate the Dharma, then let me ask you first, can you treat Linchang as your hometown, without any deviation?" These words were half playful and half solemn with a smiling expression.

The warm orange sunlight casts a bright splendor around it, and all this has subtly entered a sacred realm. In the sacred hall where majesty and solemnity are intertwined, Fadu's eyes are fixed between Puya's bright and smiling eyebrows, and he immediately bows his head heavily: "The monks respect all living beings, and treat everything with an equal state of mind and do their best without deviation. There is no homeland, all the world is a home before returning home! ”

Fadu's look and voice are all precipitated and emphasized, and the gilded feeling of the sun is even more solemn and solemn.

Puyana's words were originally half-false and half-true, and Fadu's extremely solemn response at this moment suddenly made her eyes moisten slightly. An invisible emotion silently spread through the heart, but I didn't know that it was weishenme...... It seems that all this was originally destined for the occasion, to meet that person at that time, that place, and then to spread the morality of Buddhism and the hope of salvation again, and plant the seeds of truth, goodness and beauty all over the place to take root in this beautiful city-state in the vast desert of rolling yellow sand, and then blossom and then bear fruit! Prostrate praise, great love is boundless!

"I promise you." Just like the solemnity and solemnity of the law, Puya's jaw is heavy, and he will never deviate from it.

Fadu's heart swelled with boundless emotion, and his picturesque handsome eyebrows were also a little moist: "Okay, when everything is settled, I will preach the Dharma and preach." The voice was not high, but it was heavy.

Pu Ya's thoughts moved lightly, and then she moved again, and she seemed to understand what Fadu Fang Cai said: "National Teacher, you said that 'all the world is the home before returning home', and when I return to my hometown, I understand it, it is the Buddha country." But what is this 'all the world', does it mean every inch of our sampa shijie's land? ”

Fadu narrowed his eyes, and shook his head after a moment: "'Homecoming' is not only the Buddha country, the real homecoming is the void, and for the common people, it can also be the Buddha country and all good paths." "And 'all the world' is not limited to our sava shijie in this world, that is the general term for all the filthy land. It also includes all souls, animate and inanimate, sentient and inalienated, visible and invisible, neither great nor infernally small, all of them. ”

The thinking is clearly understood, and Fadu also patiently explains what he has realized in his heart for Puya. But Puya, who is not deeply involved, still listens to it in a fog and seems to understand it.

The delicate rose, under the repeated influence of thoughts, finally revealed her wild and passionate nature. She was annoyed by her thoughts, so she simply suppressed it completely and stopped thinking about it: "I don't want to, I still don't understand it for a while!" The sound waves were swaying, and Puya's heart was rippling, and her eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of good-natured cunning, and she held a handful of flowers in both hands and sprinkled them on Fadu's body.

The cheerful gesture came abruptly, and the colorful petals flew away like splashing water.

Fadu was startled, and subconsciously raised his hand to block it, and then heard Puya's burst of Qingyue laughter break into his ears and slide into his heart, warm and gratifying.

He knew that it was the playful woman who had played a joke with him, and he lowered the wide sleeves that stood in the way of his face, and smiled at her through the shadows of the light. When I raised my eyes, I saw that the petals were not attached to my body, but scattered with the bubbling wind, and I relaxed freely with the cool wind, and after a while, I disappeared leisurely.

Fadu's mind moved, and as soon as the thought came, he immediately opened his mouth: "The story of 'Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers', in addition to the blessings of the common people, blessings and all things, also has a deep meaning of experience. ”

Playful heart vented a dripping Pu Ya constricted eyes: "What kind of experience?" There was a smile in his voice.

"Proven." Dharma bowed, "Mandala smallpox sticks to the body, and if the one who misses the token (the proof of the leakage of wisdom and troubles is eliminated, liberation is obtained, and virtue is sufficient), the flower falls." If the accumulated habits are not exhausted (there are still greed, hatred, ignorance, and suspicion that have not been removed), then the flowers will not fall, and even the divine power will not make the flowers go away. ”

Speaking of this, Fadu especially remembered it deeply. This was the order of his master Mingde early in the morning when he was a child.

It was a bright early summer day, and Fado was quietly sweeping the floor in the courtyard, when suddenly falling flowers slowly fell on his robe in a gentle breeze. He subconsciously raised his hand and was about to brush it off, when the master who was walking by stopped him and told him the above paragraph, taking the opportunity to make some understanding of him and tell him the allusion and the deep meaning behind the "Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers".

In Tibetan Buddhism, "mandala" means "mandala", which is a multifaceted composition of "essence", "essence", and "attainment", which means "to attain the essence" and to attain the supreme enlightenment of the Buddha (the supreme wisdom of true equal awareness of all truths, the incomparably complete wisdom and enlightenment, such as "anuttara sambodhi"). It is extended to "Vientiane Forest Column, Zen Circle of Harmony and Internal Photography".

"Myoho-renge-kyo, Separate Merit Products" cloud: "The Buddha said that when the Bodhisattvas Mahaha-de-** benefited, they rained mandala flowers (flowers) in the void."

The "Amitabha Sutra" also says: "At six o'clock in the day and night, the sky rains and mandala flowers." ”

In this way, when the Buddha preached the Dharma, it rained all over the sky that was a mandala flower, and the goddess scattered flowers were also mandala flowers, and a smile was also a mandala flower. If so, seeing the mandala flower rain, it is the Buddha's light shining!

Now, that thought suddenly circled to the master who had passed away, even though the Fadu had practice, even if he could calmly face life and death and human separation, but his heart still subconsciously darkened.

Pu Ya in the float originally listened with relish, but suddenly saw that he stopped saying words and did not continue. Her eyes were surprised, and she sensed a hint of strangeness in the flickering expression on Fadu's face. Although she didn't know what he was concerned about, she was sure that he had touched on something very important or someone.

Puya's mind has always been exquisite, so she also restrained her playful heart in time, calmed her mind for a moment, continued to maintain the gentle arc of her lips, raised her hand to raise flowers, and brought a peaceful prayer to her subjects.

After a while, Fadu also came back to his senses, and subconsciously glanced at Puya again, and she also glanced back at him in unison.

Puya's lips were slightly swaying, and there was a tacit understanding between the two. Fado also responded, and immediately staggered his gaze to continue this annual civil inspection full of novelty and speciality.
