Chapter 88
It turns out that what the Buddha said was to let everyone endure great hardships, make great efforts, and make great efforts through great difficulties, which meant that everyone should open up and build a road in the valley. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The Buddha said that the path you want to take must be built by yourself. It is necessary to open the mountain and chisel the stone, and I feel scared when I think about it that year, but fortunately, the Buddha said that this action does not need to be participated in the year, and the main task of that year is to cultivate the Nyorai Divine Palm, and also instructed to drink more pure water in the Nine Dragons Bath.
Because water is the constituent substance of the body's cells, it not only fills the entire tissue cells of the body, but is also the main fluid in the body to maintain the normal concentration of body fluids; At the same time, every process of food digestion, absorption, nutrient transportation and utilization requires the participation of water; The food residues and metabolic wastes left after digestion, absorption and metabolism also need the help of water to be successfully discharged from the body.
It's not difficult to drink more water, but to practice the Nyorai Palm, the year feels a little difficult, the move is easy to practice, the key is to improve the skill, that is, to recite the mantra of the Buddha, it is very annoying, not to say it, but also boring, and to say that year I think I don't want to fight with others, what do you want to do with such unfathomable kung fu.
But the next news also made Nian feel unhappy, that is, those believers and believers he brought with him actually jumped off the cliff to end their lives because they couldn't bear the pain of opening mountains and roads, and it is no wonder that those people rang the bell of the assembly just after dawn, after washing, the first thing to do is to do the morning class, that is, to recite the scriptures, read a few scriptures before you can go to breakfast, eat breakfast and then go to work to build roads, after finishing work at night, you have to go to the evening class, it is still to read the scriptures, and you are not allowed to eat meat dishes, When I think about it, I feel sad and sad for those people, and sometimes I wonder if I have fallen for the Buddha, that is, I deliberately deceived myself into recruiting some coolies for him who did not need to be paid.
That year a little old temper came up, deliberately to find the Buddha, proposed that if there is a want to quit halfway, they will be allowed to go back, and send the money to entangle, I didn't expect that the Buddha is full of promises, but when I went to ask if anyone wanted to go back, everyone's answer was negative, that year I felt strange, what did these people think, under that secret observation, that year finally realized a little doorway, it turned out to be the original Cihang Taoist people now Guanyin Bodhisattva transmission results, Saying that suicide is also a big punishment, going to hell, and also teaching everyone the method of strengthening the body, that is, it varies from person to person, practicing various martial arts and boxing, so everyone not only does not feel that they suffer from hardship, but on the contrary, their motivation is more soaring, and their enthusiasm is more full, so they finally practiced the Divine Palm with peace of mind that year. Of course, in my free time, I also took the initiative to take on the task of delivering water to everyone, that is, to carry the clean water in a large wooden barrel for everyone to drink.
Time flies so fast, time is really like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, the road is finally completed, the Buddha took the leading figures in Buddhism to inspect and visit, in addition to their original ten disciples, of course, there are also the elites from Putuo Mountain, such as Nian and Guanyin Bodhisattva Burning Lamp Daoist, and even a few Buddhist masters from other places.
See this long staircase leading to the foot of the Lingshan Giant Buddha, which the Buddha called "Ascending Cloud Road". Dengyun Avenue has a total of 216 steps, a total of seven platforms, from the bottom to the top, only to see the steps without seeing the platform, from the top to the bottom, only to see the platform without seeing the steps, meaning "save the soul of a life, win to create a seven-level floating slaughter".
I heard the Buddha say: "Actually, this is a necessary way for us to ascend to the Lotus Treasure Island. ”
That year, I realized that I almost wronged the Buddha, and I couldn't help but feel ashamed in my heart, so I heard the Buddha ask again: "Year, your Rulai Divine Palm has been practiced to a certain degree of success."
Although I felt very embarrassed that year, I still answered honestly: "I barely have three successes." “
The Buddha didn't seem to have any change in his facial expression, but said lightly: "It seems that I want to invite the Jade Emperor and the Jizo King Bodhisattva to come over and help out." “
I didn't understand what it meant, but I wasn't too embarrassed to ask.
The ceremony of landing on the island was selected on the eighth day of December, because this day is the anniversary of the Buddha's enlightenment, and it is also the most powerful day when the Buddha's mana can be exerted to the fullest, in order to express congratulations, but also to express everyone's gratitude and nostalgia for the earth's homeland, the Buddha let everyone boil a pot of porridge, of course, the porridge is put in some grains, a total of eight, rice, yellow millet, sticky yellow rice, glutinous rice, rice (sticky sorghum rice), red beans, lotus seeds, longan, peanuts, chestnuts, small red dates, Sugar to taste.
Of course, the production method of this eight-treasure porridge is also very particular.
The first step is to put the lotus seeds into a large basin and soak them in water, then put them in a steamer, steam them for about 1 hour with a strong fire, and take them out for later use.
The second step is to remove the skin and core of the longan, and only the meat; Peel off the shells and garments of the chestnuts.
Step 3. Put an appropriate amount of water in the pot, then wash the rice, red beans, peanuts, and red dates and pour them into the pot to boil, and when they are half-cooked, then wash the rice, yellow millet, sticky yellow rice, and glutinous rice and pour them into the pot to cook together, and then cook them over low heat after the pot is boiled. When the porridge is boiled until it is seven or eight mature, pour the steamed lotus seeds into the porridge and stir evenly, boil for a while after boiling, remove the heat, put it into a clean and disinfected pot, and sprinkle it with sugar.
It really smells good and makes people feel good and happy, I don't know what it would be like to drink a bowl?
The good day finally came, and all the gods and immortals in the heavenly court really came with auspicious clouds under the leadership of the Jade Emperor, and the Bodhisattva of the Earth King naturally rushed over with the Ten Palaces of Yama. It can be said that they are almost unfamiliar faces to Nian.
"Master Nian, don't come unharmed." Unexpectedly, that year was looking around with excitement, in the bustling crowd there were people to greet themselves, that year I couldn't help but be curious to follow the prestige, I saw that under the embrace of a large group of civil ministers and military generals, it was not that Zhang Baishan who could speak to himself, the old acquaintance many years ago, that year also felt more cordial, couldn't help but speed up the pace, walked over quickly, ready to come to him a warm hug.
"Stop." I heard a loud shout, and then two warriors wearing golden helmets and armor came and blocked Nian's way with their swords.
