Chapter 250: Glutinous Rice Ice Fruit

Su Jinge didn't know that he had become the number one enemy in Master Huijing's heart. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

She returned to the Zen monastery and copied a few volumes of scriptures, and then began to study the karmic fire red lotus again.

Without testing, the power of the red lotus karmic fire was unknown at this time, and all she could be sure of was that the red lotus was completely under her control, and all she could study was how to collect and release it more freely.

Looking inwardly at the lotus that condensed the flames and frost, Su Jinge sighed leisurely and muttered, "This is not a way. ”

How much point does it make to continue to study like this day in and day out? After all, it is still difficult to make progress.

After looking at the red lotus for a while, Su Jinge's attention suddenly turned to the clear ice lotus under the lotus leaves.

After a while, Su Jinge stood up and walked to the window.

There is no moon tonight, and the only day is full of stars.

Su Jinge leaned against the window and looked at the stars all night. In the early morning of the second day, she went out to find someone to help her send a small box and a few pieces of jade slips to Fuguang.

The days that followed gradually became regular. Yikong Zen Master allowed her to pick vegetables and fruits in the field at will, and Su Jinge was happy. She spends most of her time studying the karmic fire red lotus, and she will copy scriptures for a while before practicing at night. Three meals at three o'clock can not be moved, and snacks and supper can be added as you like. In his spare time, he often goes to the vegetable patch to help take care of the fruits and vegetables.

Su Jinge was originally a person who was willing to share, plus he ate other people's vegetables and fruits. As a result, they became more and more willing to share. As a direct consequence, the monks who come to take care of the vegetable patches on a daily basis have more or less grown a little meat.

Every time I heard that she went to help in the vegetable field again, Master Huijing's heart and liver trembled. He couldn't order his disciples not to accept the food handed over by the True Monarch of the Clear Heart. You can't order your disciples to waste food and take the food of the True Monarch without eating it.

But is that really food, that's the temptation of chaos.

When Su Xi Zhenren first came, he always teased people with his hue, and the damage caused at that time was far less than these small foods. The more ordinary and inconspicuous, the more terrifying. After all, how many people treat food as they do with women?!

As an abbot, it is not good for him to always give orders and reprimands because of his appetite. How nice it sounds.

From spring to early summer, Master Huijing ran to Master Yikong several times, shaking his head and going out again and again.

Zen Master Ichiku's persistence was not completely ineffective. At least during the time he was helping to take care of the open space, Su Jinge learned some Buddhism from his ears and eyes.

Qi Shenyan came again in May, bringing a jade slip with an ice-based spell. After Qi Shenyan left, Su Jinge began to retreat. The door of the temple never opened again, and the smell of rice wafted from inside.

Although the adverse effects caused by those foods have not yet disappeared, Master Huijing has felt more comfortable and pure than ever.

It's just that this comfort and purity didn't last long.

Not long after the beginning of summer, the door of the temple opened again. The white-clothed monk, who looked like a girl, walked out with a huge bamboo basket in her arms. The basket is full of snow-white glutinous rice balls.

These glutinous rice dumplings are wrapped in some soft jelly made of flowers and fruits, which are soft and slightly cool to the touch. The dumplings are stained with a thin layer of powder, and they are cute just by putting them in your hand. First, the glutinous powder is mixed between the slightly tough skin. With the blending of waxy and tough between the teeth, the filling wrapped in it slowly melts in the mouth, exuding an intoxicating sweet fragrance.

It's a good snack in these weathers.

At this time, there were not many monks working in the vegetable field, and Su Jinge distributed it all the way, and everyone got a lot.

Dragging a small half basket of glutinous rice balls, Su Jinge knocked on the door of the Zen master's courtyard.

In fact, the door was not closed, and Zen Master Ichikong was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the courtyard. On the small table in front of him lay a tray of beads and many beaded tools. Hearing the knock on the door, Zen Master Yikong turned his head and smiled, "Congratulations to the Mingxin donor for getting out." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the other side of the small table, "Please sit here." ”

Su Jinge looked in the direction of his finger and found that a futon had already been placed over there. "Could it be that the Zen master knew that I was out of the customs today?"

At this time, Zen Master Yikong got up and poured two large bowls of sour plum soup and placed them on the small table. "If the little monk is not a god, how can he have the power of prediction."

Su Jinge sat down, took out a smaller bamboo basket, and put all the glutinous rice dumplings in the big frame into it and placed them on the table. "I made some snacks to cool off, and asked the Zen master to try them."

Zen Master Yikong thanked him, pinched up a glutinous rice dumpling and looked at it in his hand, "It's ice food." The donor didn't come this time to invite the monk to eat ice food. ”

Su Jinge smiled and said, "I have gained from the retreat, and I am happy in my heart, so I just want to invite the Zen master to eat." ”

Zen Master Ichikong smiled without saying a word, and continued to string beads after using a glutinous rice dumpling.

Su Jinge took the punching tool, picked out a bead from the plate and slowly drilled the hole. "In this month, I suddenly figured out a problem: the problem of the Red Lotus Karma Fire is actually very easy to solve, and it can be solved by catching some spirit beasts in another place. - The Zen master used to influence my thoughts, is it to love the life of the spirit animal or to transcend me? ”

Zen Master Yikong smiled: "Sure enough, the donor is not here to send ice food to the little monk. ”

Su Jinge also smiled: "It's true to be happy to give ice food in my heart." This is another matter to ask the Zen master. ”

Zen Master Yikong said the Buddha's name and admitted: "The donor alone can save countless sentient beings. ”

Su Jinge suddenly changed the topic when he heard this: "Two months ago, I heard a little master tell a story. There is a big country in the southern part of the country. The ruler had three sons, one of whom was Mahasaqing who was born with a compassionate heart.

One day, the three brothers traveled together, and met a hungry female tiger and two tiger cubs. At that time, the female tiger was nursing her cubs. The tiger cub is lively and cute, but the female tiger has lost her spirit due to hunger, and is staring at the two tiger cubs as if she has the intention of devouring the tiger cub to satisfy her hunger.

Seeing this, Mahasaqing was very sad and said to his two brothers, 'That till tiger is skinny and bone-linted, and she is dying of hunger but is still breastfeeding her child. But under the persecution of hunger, the female tiger will also eat the cub. ’

The two brothers said, 'If the female tiger starves to death, the cub will also starve to death without milk.' Unless there is fresh meat and warm blood, the female tiger will eat the cub. ’

Hearing this, Mahasaqing was even more saddened and asked, 'Then if someone gives his own flesh and blood to a hungry female tiger, will both the female tiger and the cub live?' ’

The two brothers smiled and said, "Naturally, they can all live." But the one who gave his body to the hungry tiger cannot be resurrected. ’

Mahasatsaqing listened and took the two brothers away. walked in front of the hungry tiger and threw himself into the tiger's mouth without hesitation. He intends to sacrifice himself to save the three tigers. Unexpectedly, the hungry tiger just glanced at him and did not eat him.

Mahasaqing had already made up his mind to sacrifice his life to make offerings, in order to fulfill this wish. He found a sharp piece of wood and pierced his skin to make blood flow out.

Stimulated by the smell of blood, the hungry tiger finally regained his spirit and began to lick the blood of Mahasa Qing. The hungry tiger drank enough blood and was more energetic, and ate Mahasaqing's body in one go. ”

Speaking of this, Su Jinge stopped, picked up the sour plum soup on the table and brought it to his lips.

Zen Master Yikong clasped his hands together and said, "This is the story of sacrificing one's life to feed the tiger. ”

Su Jinge felt that the sour plum soup tasted very good, and used most of it in one go, and praised: "The sour plum soup of the Zen master tastes excellent." ”

Zen Master Yikong smiled slightly, got up and took the jar with sour plum soup and filled the bowl for Su Jinge.

Su Jinge thanked him and said, "The little master who told this story told me that Mahasattva Qing had compassion and mercy for all things, and because of the merit of feeding tigers, he was reborn in heaven for the rest of his life. He also said that life is suffering, life is suffering, and death is also suffering. The cycle of life and death goes on and on, and the sea of suffering is endless. Only Nirvana can forever get rid of the great suffering of this cycle of birth and death.

The principle of equality of all living beings and the great compassion of sacrificing one's life to save one's life are all respectable. Only, that's not my way.

Fire and water have gas but no life, plants and trees are born but ignorant, and birds and beasts are knowledgeable but unrighteous. And people are angry, alive, knowledgeable, and righteous. Human life is more precious. It is really difficult to give up people to feed tigers. After listening to that story, I only felt that Mahasathan's parents were pitiful. Even though the little master talked about the merits and greatness of doing great compassion, I still felt pity for that pair of parents. ”

Zen Master Yikong said: "So, what is the meaning of the donor's words? ”

Su Jinge quickly said: "The grace of the Zen master to save each other, the heart is clearly remembered. It's just that Mingxin really doesn't have a wisdom root, so don't waste the Zen master's mental energy in vain. That Zen temple is not a natural spiritual place, it must be artificially arranged with some magical powers. - Even if I leave Tianyin, the Zen master still has the power to prevent the fire of karma, right? ”

Zen Master Ichikong happily admitted, "Not bad. But the little monk really couldn't let the benefactor leave. ”

Su Jinge said solemnly: "Mingxin doesn't have the heart to ask for that magical power. As long as the mind and body are in the Naluo Building, the ancient building can be isolated from the karmic fire. This place is adjacent to the Hundred Flowers Sect, and it is just a matter of hands for the Zen master to send Mingxin to the Hundred Flowers Sect. Please also ask the Zen master to be merciful. ”

Zen Master Yikong said: "Isn't it the love of sentient beings that the benefactor asks for escort? At that time, on the Cangwu Snow Mountain, the benefactor also had a sacrifice of his life. β€”β€”The donor already has great compassion in his heart, and he is really very wise. ”

Su Jinge blinked his eyes and said with a little stunned: "But what I want to save is not a lion and a tiger." ”

"When the donor thinks about it carefully, has he never had mercy in his heart for all beings except the human demon spirits?"

Su Jinge thought carefully for a moment, and then said, "This question is really difficult to answer the Zen master. Many ingredients, such as fish and shrimp, are the fresher the better. That's why I've always eaten freshly killed. Occasionally, when you want to eat meat, you will go to fight a spirit beast. All I can think about in the face of them is how to cook. I really didn't think about anything else. ”

Zen Master Yikong listened to the Buddha call with his eyes slightly closed, and then said: "If the donor sees that the prey is still nurturing or pregnant with cubs when the donor is hunting, what will happen to the donor?" ”

"There has always been a rule of not hunting in spring to maintain the continuous growth of nature. Therefore, they do not hunt pregnant or young. After a pause, Su Jinge said: "But if I encounter a beast that threatens me, whether it is pregnant or young or still nurturing, I will not be soft, and I will not sacrifice myself to complete their full stomach." ”
