Chapter 427: The Magical Crutch (4)

After my uncle made arrangements for this, he passed away not long after, and many people who knew Yaobang felt that Yaobang was very stupid, I should call Yaobang his cousin, and there were frequent contacts, and every time our two families met, they said that Yaobang could not be too weak in his father's inheritance, after all, he still had a mother to raise. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but my cousin Yaobang would only say this sentence: "Father's meaning, I know it's unfair, but what can I do as a junior?" I just want to make it feel safe! ”

Let's talk about Yaowei's family, although they are also my cousin, but their practices are disdainful, especially after my uncle died, they never came to see my uncle, what is even more infuriating is that it was originally said that half of my uncle's retirement salary should be given to Yaobang's family to be my uncle's living expenses, but the things written in black and white are not recognized, and after taking my uncle's salary card, they have the right to treat it as if nothing happened, The money is used to buy medicine, what children need tutoring, the money is not enough, it is borrowed temporarily, and there is an excuse that is extremely absurd, saying that the family is too lonely, to buy a pet dog, you need to advance some money...... All of our relatives and friends let Yaobang take the judicial route to win back their rights and interests, and my uncle and aunt even wanted to change the salary card account, so I didn't want half and half of it! In the end, Yaobang said very heartily: "Family, why bother to go to court!" Mom, I don't care if I raise you with your retirement salary, everyone will endure it, presumably the younger brother's family has the difficulties of the younger brother's family. ”

Ay...... I have to say that this big cousin of mine is too good-hearted. But in this real society. There is always a feeling that people are good at being bullied and horses are good at being ridden. You don't think so?

The first Spring Festival after my uncle's death should be the most memorable Spring Festival of my eldest cousin, due to my uncle's deathbed entrustment, in the first month of each year, with the bamboo pole and cane on behalf of him to Baichang Temple to burn incense and make a vow, on the first day of the new year, my eldest cousin took the family and the bamboo pole and cane early, came to Baichang Temple. Under the guidance of my uncle, my eldest cousin followed the steps of burning incense and repaying vows in front of my uncle, and worshiped each Bodhisattva one by one with a bamboo pole and a cane.

On the first day of the new year, there are many people who go to the temple to burn incense and make wishes, and Baichangji Temple is a temple with strong incense, so since Chinese New Year's Eve, the pilgrims who enter and leave the temple door have not stopped. The monks in the temple are also busy, on the one hand, they must do a good job of fire prevention, and on the other hand. And try to entertain every pilgrim as well as possible, how to say? There are too many people. The monastery is a little overwhelmed. But that day, my eldest cousin's family entered the temple of Baichang Temple, and the abbot of Baichang Temple hurried over and greeted you personally, and when my eldest cousin followed my uncle's habits before his death, he completed a set of processes of "burning incense and repaying vows", and the abbot invited my eldest cousin's family to the backyard to fast, although my eldest cousin did not understand the etiquette rules of Buddhism, but the abbot of a temple personally welcomed you into the backyard to fast in so many pilgrims, which was a very high standard of courtesy...... My eldest cousin's family was "flattered" and followed the abbot to the backyard, and the abbot told the monks, and some people asked to see him, but they all refused......

After the abbot of Baichang Temple personally served somen noodles to his eldest cousin's family, he sat on the side, watching my eldest cousin's family eat somen noodles, and it was strange that my eldest cousin's family of four people, but the Baichang Temple held five bowls of somen noodles, my eldest cousin thought that the abbot wanted to eat at first, but when everyone finished eating the somen noodles, the abbot of Baichang Temple did not eat a mouthful of somen noodles, so my eldest cousin asked curiously: "Abbot, why don't you use pasta?" ”

The abbot smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to the bamboo pole and crutches, and said, "This bowl of somen noodles is for the owner of this cane!" ”

As soon as the abbot said this, my eldest cousin's heart was bright, presumably the abbot knew that this bamboo pole was a crutch, and he should know his father, after all, before his father's death, he would come here every year in the first month to burn incense and make vows, and it was not surprising to know the abbot, so he smiled and said: "The abbot knows my father!" ”

"It's just that there is a relationship, I don't know each other!" The abbot of Hyakchoji said:

This answer made my eldest cousin a little surprised, and then turned his head to look at his mother, because my mother had been accompanying my father to burn incense and make wishes, the truth of this, my mother was the most clear, I saw my mother clasped her hands to the abbot of Baichang Temple and said: "The abbot has a good memory, and he still remembers my wife!" ”

"Ah......" the abbot of the Baichang Temple sighed and said, "Remember, remember, Bliss ascends to heaven, and mourn and change!" ”

The abbot of Baichang Temple judged that my uncle had passed away with this bamboo pole and cane, which is not surprising. This kind of thing is not an example of my uncle's family, I think many people have it, bamboo poles and crutches are an example, some people travel around the world with photos, some people take ashes to revisit the hometown, many people, but the abbot of Baichang Temple said so, it is inevitable that it touches on the sadness of my eldest cousin's family, and I can't help but see things and think about people over there, and recall my uncle's life.

"Hey......" The abbot of Baichang Temple comforted: "On the day of the first lunar month, it is not appropriate to be sad, to be happy in life, to get rid of great suffering, our relatives, just mourn and change!" I think at the beginning, I had some exchanges with the old donor about this crutch, and I want the old donor to pass on this crutch to you, it seems that the old donor really loves you! ”

When my eldest cousin heard these words, his heart became more and more uncomfortable, no matter how lenient he was, he was always a little angry about his father's partiality when he distributed the family property, and now your abbot still says this, so how to describe my father's feelings for his youngest son? Thinking of the eldest cousin here, he could only smile awkwardly and said, "Yes...... As fathers, they all love their children! ”

My eldest cousin said this, which can be regarded as a remark, and it is not considered to have misunderstood the meaning of the abbot, but after saying this, the abbot of the Baichang Temple shook his head slightly and said, "It seems that the donor, you have not yet understood the truth of this?" ”

"Reason? What a truth. I want to hear about it! My eldest cousin asked, puzzled:

"Your father told me before he died, he had two sons, if the old man was not mistaken. You should be the eldest son of the old benefactor, right? The abbot of the Mokcho Temple asked:

"What the abbot said is extremely true!" My eldest cousin replied:

"Is it when your father is distributing the inheritance? Donor, do you feel that what your father did was unfair? The abbot of Hyakchoji Temple asked bluntly:

This question. My eldest cousin was a little embarrassed, looked at his mother, and then at his wife and daughter, and didn't know what to do. Especially when he saw his mother, he must have asked his mother: You were also there at the time, what did my father say to this abbot?

The abbot of the Baichang Temple seemed to see through my eldest cousin's thoughts, and said in a kind way: "Donor, when the old man and your father talk about this. It's just the old man and your father, oh...... And this crutch, so much so that your mother, at that time, asked the other monks to entertain them to fast! So your mother doesn't know. ”

My uncle nodded at my eldest cousin, signaling that the abbot of Baichang Temple was right, and the abbot of Baichang Temple then added: "You are a family, it doesn't hurt for everyone to talk about it today, and Lao Gao can also take care of this matter!" ”

At this time, it was not my eldest cousin who was curious alone, but the whole family was curious, and they all paid attention to the benevolent monk in front of them. Under the persuasion of the abbot of this Baichang Temple, my eldest cousin poured out the dissatisfaction in his heart. In the end, he just said: "No way, he is my father, I must respect my father's will as a son, I would rather wronged myself and my family, than hang the infamy of unfilial piety." ”

"Hehe......" The abbot of the Baichang Temple smiled and said: "The donor said what is in his heart, it is excellent, but today it happens that the old man is present, and he is going to wash away the 'infamy' that you misunderstood for your father, you are biased by your father, and prefer the younger brother, in fact, people's hearts are flesh and blood, and the Buddha also pays attention to karma, your father used to say this to the old man, on filial piety, my youngest son and little daughter-in-law are not as good as the eldest son, the eldest daughter-in-law is one ten-thousandth, on the bitter and scheming, my eldest son, The eldest daughter-in-law is not as good as the younger son and the younger daughter-in-law! If you can obey your father's will, can your brother and sister-in-law obey your father's will? ”

My eldest cousin's family thought about it, and finally shook their heads and said, "No! ”

The abbot of the Baichang Temple nodded and continued: "If your father inherits all the inheritance to you, your brother and sister-in-law will never give up, all kinds of tricks and conspiracies will be 'staged' one by one, and the donor, your family is all good people, compared with the villain, you will definitely suffer, at that time, not only will the family not be harmonious, even you may not end up well!" ”

My eldest cousin's family thought about it carefully, felt reasonable, and nodded their heads in approval!

"Donor, do you know where this crutch in front of you came from?" The abbot of Hyakchoji asked:

My eldest cousin told me in detail how my uncle woke up from a dream and how he asked my eldest cousin and aunt to go to the garbage dump to pick up the bamboo pole, and the abbot of Baichang Temple said, "So you always thought it was just a bamboo pole that no one wanted, right?" ”

"No, abbot, at first I saw my father so loved, presumably it should be some kind of treasure, according to him, it is a dream of the object, everyone has some different ideas about this and the humble crutches, until that time when my father explained the aftermath, my brother invited an expert, the crutches were identified, people were sure that it was an ordinary, worthless bamboo pole, everyone then died!" My eldest cousin explained:

"That's just the appraisal of ordinary people! Where the eyes are fleshy, all they can see is the smell of copper, the real treasure, it is precisely the big hidden in the city, the appearance is not amazing, but it is a first-class magic weapon! The abbot of Hyakchoji said:

"Oh...... Could it be that there is really something special about this crutch? "I know that the monks don't speak, as the abbot of a temple, to say such a thing, it must not be an impromptu word, my eldest cousin picked up the bamboo pole and crutch on the table again, and looked at it carefully, I really can't see any magic, so I can only give up and ask the abbot of Baichang Temple to teach.

The abbot of Baichang Temple said: "This kind of utensils Buddhism has a special name, called 'Bodhi Stick' (Editor's note: because this object has too many magical legends, in order to avoid some readers from taking a seat, according to the map. A lot of time and energy is wasted on this. Hence the pseudonym used here. )。 It is one of the 'four famous vessels and five great objects' in the legend of Buddhism, and when we thought that our Buddha (editor's note: here is the honorific title of the founder of Buddhism, Sakyamuni), when he founded Buddhism, he was under the Bodhi tree, and there were four famous vessels of relics, Bodhi wood, Bodhi leaves, and Bodhi soil. For example, a lamp mage has the ability to incarnate relics, but the relics are more than famous, and all people can see them, so these famous objects can only be enshrined in the pagoda to bless the prosperity of Buddhism and many believers. Thousands of years of history have proved that relics have blessed our Buddhism with prosperity. It's there for all to see. The Bodhi soil will eventually become dust, moistening the earth. Creating all kinds of creatures, so that we believe in the Buddha, can not kill, but also have an inexhaustible source of food, such a famous instrument, is really immeasurable merit, Bodhi wood manifestation, in addition to let the Buddha epiphany of the true meaning of the Buddha, but also let all sentient beings, to wisdom, the name of philosophy, is the Buddha's thought, where the spirit is, Nirvana rebirth, endless, wisdom, philosophy is infinite...... Bodhi leaves bloom and scatter leaves, spread in the world, and after multiplication, forge five major benefits, namely: herbs for people's health, a happy environment for people, gold and stone for people's wealth, books for people's wisdom, and totems for people's faith. To put it bluntly, Bodhi leaves can become herbs, give people health, can become a big tree, natural scenery, give people a pleasant enjoyment, can become precious wood, make people get rich quickly, can also become a book for centuries, will be the endless transmission of knowledge, but also become a symbol, become people's pursuit, unswerving faith, and the benefactor, your father left you, is precisely with people's wealth, one of the most important treasures: 'Bodhi stick'. ”

"Abbot, what you said is more profound, some I can understand, some can't understand, this 'Bodhi stick' is the golden stone with people's wealth, according to you, I understand that it becomes a Bodhi leaf spreads, can grow into mahogany, pear blossom wood, sandalwood and other noble wood, can make people quickly rich, but this bamboo crutch left to me by my father is obviously not the same as those mahogany, pear blossom wood and the like, right?" My eldest cousin asked:

"Haha......" The abbot of the Baichang Temple said with a hearty smile: "Those mahogany, pear blossom trees are the most basic objects emanating from Bodhi leaves, but these most basic objects are tirelessly pursued by people, it can only be said that wisdom is limited, and what is seen is only the most basic wealth." If wisdom is a little more ambitious, it is not something that ordinary wealth can satisfy! ”

"Abbot, do you mean that wealth is also divided into realms?" My eldest cousin asked:

"Of course, wisdom is also divided into many kinds, wealth is of course divided into many kinds, of course, the classification of wealth, is definitely not a digital classification, he is a multimillionaire, she is a billionaire, these are the most basic wealth, just a digital concept, not a classification, in the field of wealth, divided into three types: the first: everything is under control, that is, everything in the world is controlled in their own hands, this is the first class, of course, to do this, without the highest level of wisdom, is far from enough for me, If I come to the Buddha can, I Guanyin Bodhisattva can, the second class, is a steady stream of wealth, this is also to have a very high wisdom to support, in this world, there is a small number of people can control, for example, to create an empire, can unscrupulously print paper money to satisfy their own wealth, this is not ordinary people can do, the third class, is the master of making money, can use their own small wisdom, win a lot of money. If your father gave your brother a third-class wealth, then your father gave you a second-class wealth! The abbot of Baichang Temple said:

My eldest cousin's family looked at each other, and it was not an exaggeration to say "stunned", and finally my eldest cousin forced himself to calmly ask: "Abbot, you are still a little profound in what you say, I am a mortal person, I really can't understand how this 'Bodhi stick' in front of me can achieve the second class of wealth you say?" ”

"Donor, look over there......" The abbot of Baichang Temple pointed to a corner, my eldest cousin's family looked at the abbot, only to see an inconspicuous long table in the corner of the wall, presumably the long table should be the altar, perhaps due to dilapidated reasons, no longer used, so it was "thrown" in the corner of the backyard, for a long time, the long table was already gray, and there were thousands of spider webs hanging on it, my eldest cousin asked with a blank face: "Could it be that the long table is" What did the linden stick do? ”

"Donor, you are wrong! The old man didn't show you the long table, but the things under it! The abbot of Hyakchoji explained:

My eldest cousin's family looked under the table according to the abbot's instructions, and a small rock was resting there, about the size of two adults' fists...... (To be continued.) )
