The twenty-fourth section of the Lotus Temple was rebuilt and consecrated

It is said that the reconstruction of Lotus Mountain has begun to take shape, but it has been damaged and interfered with several times, Xingfeng is a little discouraged, delayed a lot of time, and lost a lot of silver taels, Xingfeng immediately remembered to go to Nie Zhongjiang to return these losses, he turned over the bed, found Xingshi, Xingshan to discuss, as soon as this matter was mentioned, several people were angry, and they scolded for a while, but when it came to the specific plan of action, it was quite difficult, first of all, the distance was very long, followed by the poor manpower, the most important thing is that this is to build a temple and build Buddha, If you also use the method of stealing, it will be contrary to the teachings of Buddhism, and there will be a suspicion of blasphemy, and the world will laugh at it, but the difficulties faced are also numerous, where does the money come from? But after all, a few people were young and vigorous, and they didn't care so much, so they still decided to steal a trip back to the Nie family. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

So the three of them dressed lightly, picked three good horses, explained a few words, and set off. All the way non-stop, arrived at the Nie family compound in the evening, hiking the mountains and walking stones is the first time to see such a large-scale courtyard, and it is the first time to see such a large-scale courtyard, and he has not even "tsk" a few sighs of praise, thinking that he has found the right place and the subject, while waiting for dark, Xingfeng also remembered that although he had entered the Nie family compound, but which house his money and belongings were in, he still really didn't know, in this case, how could it be done? Thinking of this, Xingfeng said to Xingshan and Xingshi: "We are in too much of a hurry, I don't know where the Nie thief's money is, how do we do it later?" The three of them were silent, but since they came, until the last glimmer of hope was shattered, and they were unwilling, Xingfeng proposed to go to the wall to see the movement, and wanted to see some clues, so the three of them came to the wall, chose a quiet place, took advantage of the shade of the big tree, jumped on the wall, climbed to the tree, and looked at it by the afterglow of the sunset, there are still many people practicing in the open space in front of the courtyard and behind the courtyard. I saw a person sitting on the master's chair, although he was sitting, but the waist was obviously bent, the person was a little scared to look thin, the cheekbones were prominent, the eye sockets were deep, and he was holding a crutch, and he was getting rid of a skeleton, Xingfeng squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, and concluded that it was Nie Zhongjiang Undoubtedly, seeing Nie Zhongjiang's appearance, Xingfeng somehow had a great feeling of empathy from his heart, to steal the things of this completely disabled person, it seemed that his heart was always uncomfortable, at this moment, someone shouted "eat" "eat", I saw Nie Zhongjiang struggling to hold his hand, and he stood up a little tremblingly, and his body shook a few times before he stood firm, at this time Xingfeng pointed to Nie Zhongjiang in a low voice and said to Xingshi and Xingshan: "He is Nie Zhongjiang, whether we go back or not, I seem to be unbearable." After a long time, they nodded their heads, so the three of them jumped off the wall and galloped back to Lotus Mountain.

Xingfeng and the three of them took advantage of the night to let their horses run wildly, and returned to Lotus Mountain before dawn, but when they saw those burned materials, their hearts were not tasteful, they got off the horse and sat on the ground sighing, and the mountains and stones were also accompanied, and a few people roughly estimated that the loss was about a thousand taels of silver. Thinking about it, I walked out, looked around, and felt even more indescribable in my heart, fundraising, I don't know how long it will take to get so much money, other than that, there is really nothing to do, it's really nerve-wracking.

After lunch on this day, Xingfeng went out for a walk after eating, walked along the mountain road, walked and walked, suddenly heard someone shouting "Xingfeng", looked up and saw that it was the abbot of Nanyue and his party of three people, Xingfeng saw it, he almost jumped up, and hurriedly took a few steps to meet the mountain: "The master came from afar, and the disciple missed the welcome, and I hope to forgive." The abbot twisted his beard: "Lao Ke was originally going to come next year, but as soon as he heard the news that Lotus Mountain was burned, he couldn't sit still, and the reconstruction of Lotus Temple is a big deal, Amitabha." Xingfeng hurriedly led the way and came to the shed: "Master please use tea, Xingfeng has lost the master's high hopes, the project is only so far, and I don't know how to go next, now the master is coming, it is really like sending charcoal in the snow, the long drought and rain, the hope of the Lotus Temple is imminent." ”

The abbot picked up the bowl of green tea and drank it all: "There is no need to blame now, I expected that Lotus Mountain would be in difficulty, because it is not a small amount, Nanyue has everything in the family, I brought a thousand taels, how is it calculated?" When Xingfeng heard this, he almost burst into tears: "The master is really like a god, with this thousand taels, my heart will be put down." The abbot turned to the accompanying disciples: "Give the burden to the senior brother, let's go out to see the construction site." Xingfeng also wanted to greet "another cup of tea", but the abbot had already gotten up, so Xingfeng had to follow and gave the burden to Xingshi: "Take good care of it, this is the hard work and intention of Nanyue and the master." ”

Several people walked around the construction site, and the abbot sighed a few times at the burned materials: "Sin, sin, Amitabha." ”

At lunch, Xingfeng sincerely invited the abbot: "Master, the reconstruction of Lotus Mountain is a big event, Xingfeng is young, and he lacks experience in many things, especially for the teachings of the Buddhist scriptures and the empty master's "Jin Gui Gangjian", but the master has entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, I think since the master is here, why not stay for a few more days, Xingfeng hopes to get guidance, so that the prosperity of the Lotus Temple in the future, and better inherit the mantle of the empty master, Amitabha. The abbot closed his eyes for a long time and nodded: "Then I'll stay for a few days." Xingfeng hurriedly thanked: "Thanks to the master's love, Xingfeng must cherish it." ”

Xingfeng then under the guidance of the abbot, while stepping up the progress of the project, while studying various doctrinal scriptures and "Jin Gui Compendium", on the world, learning is like a tiger with wings, many of which have never been heard before, unseen, the essence of Buddhism is quite a deep understanding, the abbot also took out the housekeeping skills, it seems that the abbot still knows Xingfeng very well, the abbot also mentioned what he said to Xingfeng in Nanyue, Xingfeng replied: "Master teachings, Xingfeng is always in mind, do not dare to have the slightest mistake, please rest assured that the master is." In this way, the abbot of Nanyue lived in Lotus Mountain for a month, and this time we got along with each other, which was the second qualitative leap in the history of Xingfeng's life, and laid the attitude of Xingfeng's life, but it brought infinite regrets to my personal emotional life, and also caused deep harm to several women, which is a later story.

With the support of Nanyue and the abbot, the reconstruction project has also sprung up, and everything is going smoothly day by day. Buddha statue is invited to the country's best Nanjing casting master casting, height zhang two, red copper body, the whole body gilded, the image is realistic, for the country at that time, only one transport, it took three months, one is carried out as scheduled, and the auspicious day of the eighth day of the first month of April is opened.

On the eighth day of April in the eighteenth year of Daoguang, the Lotus Temple was officially consecrated under the auspices of the abbot of Nanyue. The newly built Lotus Temple, only to see that the Daxiong Treasure Hall shines in the sun, more show the magnificent momentum, the four corners of the mountain-style eaves are warped, pointing to the blue sky, the twelve granite columns of the gate are two hug thick, three zhang is more than high, which is also one of the best in the country. High monks and masters from all over the country gathered, at noon, three bells rang, Nanyue abbot holding Buddhist scriptures, relics, "Jin Gui Gangjian", steadily entered, entered the hall, the abbot raised his hands above his head, gently placed in front of the Buddha elephant case, and recited the words in his mouth: "Shiwei April, the preface belongs to the Yang Chun, my Buddha is compassionate, reshape the golden body, promote Buddhism, broadcast the true scriptures, Buddhist disciples, meditate and practice, but the evil eliminates the evil, Dehong good deeds, the red dust, Pudu sentient beings, the land of China, enjoy peace, pray to the Buddha, bless me to manifest." Amitabha. Then the abbot lit three branches of high incense, bowed three times and bowed three times, and turned around and announced loudly after the ceremony: "The twenty-second abbot of the Lotus Temple Xingfeng has been appointed." "Xingfeng stepped forward to pay homage, behind the monks and masters one by one to worship according to the line, and then the Lotus Temple monks worshipped, after the ceremony was completed, as usual, more than 20 tables of iftar, which was not a sensation at that time.

Xingfeng then became the official abbot of Lotus Mountain, preaching and preaching every day, teaching martial arts in the morning and evening, and the days passed day by day.
