Chapter 479: Jiafu Temple

An Xiaoyu and the others came out of the Shaolin Temple

An Xiaoyu said, "Master, which temple are we going to next?"

Jin Chan said: "I have a senior brother, Monk Huayan, who is practicing in Jiafu Temple on Baozhu Peak, and I will send him an invitation. ”

An Xiaoyu said: "Jiafu Temple, why have I never heard of it?"

Jin Chan said: "Of course you haven't heard of it, Jiafu Temple was originally a dilapidated small temple, although the temple is a little dilapidated, but the surrounding scenery is pleasant. So Huayan was ready to practice here, when Huayan was preparing to expand Jiafu Temple, he had to come to Tanzhe Mountain every day to sit upright, not eat or drink, meditate and chant scriptures. When a wealthy local gentleman saw the old monk exposed to the scorching sun, he asked him what he was doing? Huayan replied, 'Ask for a piece of land to build a monastery.' The rich gentleman asked, 'How much land do you want?' Hua Yan said, 'As long as the carpet under me covers such a large amount of land.' The rich gentleman saw that the old monk was sitting on a blanket that was only two feet square, so he readily agreed. ”

Unexpectedly, before the words fell, I saw Hua Yan throw the carpet into the air, and the carpet became bigger and bigger, covering the southern foot of Baozhu Peak. Seeing this scene, the rich gentry knew that Huayan Buddhism was profound, and it was a monk, so he did not dare to repent, and willingly gave the land to Huayan, Huayan opened the mountain and built the temple on the basis of Jiafu Temple, because this place was covered by a blanket, so after the temple was built, the local people called it 'Blanket Temple', and later, with false rumors, it was slowly called 'Tanzhe Temple'. ”

An Xiaoyu smiled: "Master, that Huayan is not honest, isn't this a lie?"

Jin Chan said: "Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai, one is willing to fight, one is willing to suffer, the rich gentry is to accumulate merit for himself, Huayan is to spread Buddhism, all in order to appear mysterious in Jiafu Temple." ”

An Xiaoyu said: "Interesting, I want to see what kind of deceitful monk Hua Yan is earlier." ”

Without saying anything all the way, An Xiaoyu and the others came to the foot of Baozhu Peak, only to see that there was a big waterhole in front of Baozhu Peak, called Qinglong Pond.

On the mountain road, there are countless men, women and children walking upward.

Ao Lie stopped an old man and asked, "Uncle, are you traveling to the mountains? Why are there so many people?"

The old man saw that he was a handsome scholar dressed luxuriously, so he hurriedly said, "Childe, you are a foreigner, right?"

Ao Lie said: "Yes, we are from other places, and we heard that the scenery of Baozhu Peak is beautiful, so we came to play." ”

The old man said: "Childe is here, today is the abbot of Jiafu Temple Huayan preaching, we are all going to listen to the lecture and sermon, if Childe is interested, you can also go to listen, but it works." ”

Ao Lie said: "Thank you, uncle, we will also listen to it later." ”

Everyone followed the old man to Jiafu Temple and saw that it was already crowded.

After a period of time, many monks came out of Jiafu Temple, and the first monk had big ears, a dignified face, and a neat robe.

Abbot Huayan looked at the crowd around him, and the originally noisy crowd immediately quieted down.

Abbot Huayan sat on a futon with a huge wooden fish in front of him and began to preach the scriptures.

"Once upon a time, there was a little monk who asked the old monk, 'Master, what is a Buddha?', old man

The monk said, 'What?' the little monk walked closer and asked loudly, 'What is a Buddha?!', and the old monk stretched out his hand and pinched the little monk's nose, and the little monk was so red that his face was flushed. The old monk asked, 'Do you understand now?'"

This is the subtlety of the Dharma: you don't need to know who the Buddha is, you just need to know who you are. ”

"When the Buddha lived in the world, King Phgaza recited the Sutra of the Twelve Causes and Conditions, and realized that the pleasures of the five desires of wealth, sex, fame, food, and sleep, which he had pursued in the past, turned out to be the root of his troubles. So, the king of Phogaza gathered his ministers and announced that he would pass the throne to the crown prince. After that, he shaved his own hair and set out to follow the Buddha's practice.

On this day, he went to the city of the royal palace to beg for food, but he was touched and killed by a newborn cow in the city gate.

The owner of the cow thought the cow was a hoodoo and was terrified, so he sold the cow to others.

When the buyer led the cow to the river to drink, he was attacked by the cow from behind with horns and died.

The buyer's son was so angry that he immediately killed the cow and took the beef to the market to sell.

At that time, there was a villager who liked to eat cow heads very much, so he bought them and carried them home with a flat shoulder.

On the way about a mile from home, he hung the head of the ox on a branch and sat down under it to rest.

After a while, the bull's head fell due to a sudden break in the rope, and the horns pierced the countryman's head, killing him instantly.

When he heard the news that the cow had killed three people in one day, King Bottle, who was very friendly with King Phorgaza, was very surprised, so he led his ministers to the Buddha, bowed respectfully, and then asked: 'World-honored one, what kind of karma is there for a cow to kill three people in a row in one day, and to have such a retribution? ’

The Buddha told the king of the bottles, 'There is a cause for sin, not just the result of what you see in this life. 'The King of the Bottle Shake sincerely prayed to the Buddha to explain the cause.

Then the Buddha said, 'In a past life, there were three merchants who went to another country to do business together. Once, I stayed at the home of an elderly woman who lived alone. The boarder was supposed to pay for room and board, but when the three merchants saw that the old woman had no one to take care of her, they took care of her and left while she was away.

When the old woman returned home and found that the merchants were not there, she went to inquire with her neighbors, only to find out that they had secretly left. The old woman was reluctant, and chased after her very angrily, until she was exhausted, and only then did she catch up with the three merchants who had stolen away. The old woman angrily rebuked them and demanded reimbursement from the merchant for room and board. But instead of confessing the bill, the three men said, 'You greedy old woman, why do you come to ask for money after we have already paid the bill?'

After saying that, he beat and scolded the old woman. The old woman was alone, unwilling and helpless, so she cursed the merchants: 'I am just a poor and helpless old man, and you can bear to bully and beat and scold me! I am old, and I have no strength to seek justice from you, but I will never forgive you for all the evil deeds you have inflicted on me. I swear that if we meet again in the next life, I will definitely kill you, and even if you have already attained enlightenment, I will take your lives before I give up. ’

The Buddha told the king of the bottles, 'The lonely old woman at that time is now

In this cow, and the three merchants were the king of Phogasa and three others who were killed by the ox. ’

Then he taught: 'Resentment comes from slandering, slandering, and bullying others with bad words. If you treat others with humble and respectful words, not only will you not form bad relationships, but you will also not have resentment. Therefore, speaking evil words is like having a sharp axe in your mouth, and if you speak evil words, you will hurt others and yourself. ’

When the Buddha and his ministers heard what the Buddha said, they all deepened the truth of cause and effect, and happily followed the Buddha's teachings. ......”

An Xiaoyu said: "Master, what is Hua Yan talking about? I don't understand. ”

Jin Chan said: "Huayan is talking about the "Dharma Sentence Parable Sutra Volume 1" of one ox breaking three lives, so that believers should accumulate good deeds in the previous life, so as not to attract retribution in the next life. ”

An Xiaoyu said: "If you offend me, I won't take revenge in the next life." ”

Zhu Ganglie said: "Brother Monkey, I won't take revenge on you in the next life if I offend you?" I really admire you." ”

An Xiaoyu said: "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, I am a villain to take revenge, and I will take revenge immediately, I don't have to wait for ten years, let alone the next life." ”

Jin Chan said: "You monkey head, you are really naughty. ”

Suddenly, the calm lake of Qinglong Pond set off a monstrous wave, lightning and thunder, and a hundred-zhang long green dragon soared into the air.

The audience around them was so frightened that they all staggered and fell to the ground.

Abbot Huayan stood up, faced Qinglong, and said, "Amitabha, Qinglong, why didn't you practice hard at the bottom of Qinglong Pond, what did you run out of?"

Qinglong shook the huge dragon head and said: "Old monk Huayan, you dare to build a temple next to my Qinglong Pond and destroy the feng shui of my Qinglong Pond, you hurry up and move to another place to live, otherwise I will flood your Baozhu Peak." ”

Abbot Huayan grinded the Buddha beads in his hand and said: "Amitabha, Qinglong, you are an immortal cultivator in the upper realm, I am a disciple of Buddhism, if you go against me, are you not afraid that the Buddha will blame?"

Qinglong said: "I am in charge of the clouds and rain on this land, and now you have sucked all the aura of my Qinglong Pond into your Jiafu Temple, how can I practice? If you don't move, I will have a flood." ”

Huayan Abbot said: "Amitabha, Qinglong, you rained for no reason, aren't you afraid that Heaven will blame you?"

Qinglong said: "I only let the water surface of Qinglong Pond rise, flooding your broken temple, and I didn't hurt the innocent, Heavenly Court won't care." ”

After speaking, Qinglong's body stirred Qinglong Pond, and I saw that the water in Qinglong Pond began to rise.

An Xiaoyu said: "Ao Lie, Qinglong hasn't rained yet, why is the water in the pool starting to rise?"

Ao Lie said: "Qinglong Pond is a sea eye here, from the bottom of the pond can go straight to the East China Sea, Qinglong is now leading the water of the East China Sea to raise the water level of Qinglong Pond." ”

An Xiaoyu said: "Oh, this green dragon has some small means." ”

Ao Lie said: "It's okay, there is Qingqing here, if Huayan can't bear it for a while, just let Qingqing come forward to cut off the sea water in the East China Sea." ”

An Xiaoyu said: "Don't be so troublesome, I'll just go out in a while." ”

Abbot Huayan saw that the water surface of Qinglong Lake was rising, and hurriedly waved his hand to throw out the wooden fish in his hand, and when it landed on the water surface of Qinglong Pond, the wooden fish immediately became one

Huge real fish, open its big mouth and start drinking water.

Qinglong smiled: "Old monk, you still have a bit of Taoism, I will let you drink enough today." ”

The green dragon continued to stir the water of the pool, and the waves of water for dozens of meters were set off on the top of the green dragon pool, like a giant dragon, the waves slapped against the shore stones, and the splashes splashed on the faces of the audience who came to listen to the scriptures, and those spectators were so frightened that their faces were as earthy.

The water in the pond continued to rise, and the big fish continued to drink the water, and finally the big fish burped, flew to the abbot of Huayan, and said: "It's too salty, it kills me, and I can't drink it anymore." ”

After saying that, the big fish turned into a wet wooden fish and fell into the hands of the abbot of Huayan.

Qinglong said proudly: "Old monk Huayan, your little spell is not worthy of grabbing the feng shui treasure land with me here, you should move obediently." ”

Abbot Huayan looked at the wooden fish in his hand, sighed, and said, "Amitabha Buddha......"

Before Abbot Huayan finished speaking, a voice suddenly said: "Qinglong, I am a friend of Abbot Huayan, if I can win you, what will you do?"
