Chapter 88: Women's Shaving (Second Shift)
"David Moreau, a poor monk who said he wanted to take you as a disciple, now do you want to change your mind?"
David Morrow raised his knees and bowed three times to Yixiu, "The apprentice's original intention will not change, and I hope that the master will be fulfilled." ”
In the middle of the day, the small Buddha hall fell into a deathly silence.
As the first seat of the three courtyards, Liuxin, suddenly heard that Yixiu was going to accept a woman as an apprentice, his hand trembled, and he almost dropped the Buddhist beads in his hand to the ground, "Abbot, the poor monk has urgent matters and needs to be discussed with the abbot, please ask the abbot to go outside the hall to talk." ”
Just about to say the next sentence, Yixiu was interrupted by Liuxin's words, and when he turned his head to look at his cheap senior brother, he was surprised to find that his black-faced senior brother had a somewhat strange expression at the moment, and his eyes were still aimed in the direction of David Morrow from time to time.
"Good", Yixiu immediately got up from the futon and walked out of the Buddhist hall with the six hearts.
The two of them walked forward another fifty meters, and then Rokushin stopped and said to Ikyu.
"Master Abbot, please come here The poor monk just wants to talk about my thoughts, for what happened just now, the poor monk thinks that you should not accept female disciples, there is no such precedent since ancient times, I'm afraid this trip is not appropriate. ”
And the six hearts are really the six hearts, what he said is very six hearts, and he can say this kind of thing because his thoughts are still stuck in ancient times, which has a lot to do with the fact that he has been a monk for decades before, and he has said many disciples in his life, and he has never accepted female disciples.
Therefore, Liuxin believes that women should go to nunnery, not Buddhist temples.
But Yixiu, who had been following the meaning of the six hearts before, unexpectedly rejected the six hearts this time and asked the six hearts.
"Senior brother, senior brother wants to ask you a question, the Buddha said that there is a fate, the Buddha is destined to cross, there has been a difference between men and women, there is a difference between gender, there is a difference between the old and the weak, there is a difference between up and down, right?"
In Buddhism, people who are destined refer to those who have matured for hearing, contemplating, and practicing the Dharma.
Later, there was a Buddha who said that there are three impossibilities, the first is that the Buddha cannot change the karma for sentient beings, the second is that the Buddha cannot cross the unfortunate person, and the third is that the Buddha cannot cross the unbeliever.
As the saying goes, although the rain is wide and not moist, the grass without roots is nothing more than that.
Therefore, as long as there is a heart to the Buddha and there is a demand, both men and women can worship the Buddha, and it is not as well known in the world, only men can enter the temple as monks, and women can also be.
It was precisely because of thinking clearly about this that Roku's heart suddenly had a hint of enlightenment, and he bowed deeply to Ikyu, folded his hands, and replied very sincerely.
"The Buddha is destined for those who have a fate, there is no difference between men and women, and there is no difference between the sexes, and there is no difference between the old and the weak, and there is no difference between the top and the bottom. ”
A modern person, an ancient person who has just stepped into the modern era, his thoughts are not on the same level at all, so even if he doesn't understand the Buddhist scriptures at all, he only intercepts one sentence, with the idea of equality between men and women as the core, and the Buddha as the starting point, all of a sudden he will obey the old stubborn six hearts to himself.
Then, the two of them appeared in the Buddha hall again, this time Liuxin did not put his dead face again, and when he looked at David Morrow, there was a little more approval in his eyes.
As the big boss of the Golden Cicada Temple, if it weren't for the special props, I really wouldn't be able to see that David Morrow was indeed a talent, but it didn't mean that the six hearts couldn't see it.
In fact, from the time the brother and sister stepped into the mountain gate, Liuxin could see that there was a trace of spiritual light between the girl's eyebrows and eyes constantly flickering, and he had a certain attainment in martial arts, and he could also see that David Morrow, like Wukong, was definitely the material for martial arts.
It's just because it's a woman, but it's like this to ignore this, and now that David Morrow is really a good doorman.
And at this moment, the very clever Wukong has also put the razor of the meditation room in the tray, kneeling in front of Yixiu.
As David Morrow knelt on top of the futon, his David Moco was left with only the qualifications to be a spectator.
I saw Ikyu holding a razor and sprinkling water on his head, and Yilu should have shaved off all the hair around David Moreau's Heavenly Spirit, and said.
"The second time is to ask the shaver to see the shaver, and he will shave it all, and the other person regrets it. The Buddha said that the top should be left with less hair. Asked: Except for the top bun, no. If you don't say anything, let it go as you wish. If you say anything, you can shave it off. ”
This process is not much different from the previous time when Wukong was taken in Yixiu.
The different thing is that at this time, Wukong only has a handful of hair left on the top of his head, and now the long hair on David Morrow's head is still there, and he has not shaved it.
And David Morrow is not the previous Wukong, he didn't go to any prophet school, and he couldn't understand what Ikyu was saying before, in contrast, David Morrow was a genius since he was a child, went to the best prophet university, and was even more talented than his mentor in terms of language ability, even if he couldn't understand it, he listened to it according to his words.
Therefore, David Morrow also understands that Ikyu does not regret it after asking himself this time, if he regrets it, he can not shave his hair, he can not leave home, and the ceremony will be done like this.
And for a woman, many times long hair is a symbol of their charm and gender, especially shaved head, which is unimaginable for a woman, and attaching the same thing to David Morrow is also a very devastating thing for her.
Tick, tick, and I don't know when, David Morrow looked down at her long hair, leaving her in tears.
But he was still gritting his teeth and persevering, and finally raised his head high, and said to Yixiu, "Apprentice, don't regret it, please ask the master to shave for me!"
And Yixiu showed a smile as pleased as an old father, and said self-absorbedly, "I didn't expect you to be so firm in your heart towards the Buddha, no matter what, no matter what, the poor monk will cross you into the Buddha's door!"
As soon as the words fell, Yixiu raised his knife and used a razor to directly cut off a small handful of David Morrow's long hair, and the long hair fell lightly to the ground, accompanied by the puzzled gaze of Six Heart and Wukong.
Then, Yixiu said in a deep voice, "As long as a woman has the heart of the Buddha, how much she cuts her hair is among the measurements, and today the poor monk will cut you a strand of green silk, and then shave your hair!
Yixiu turned his head and looked at Liuxin with a smile, and his expression was just one sentence, senior brother, you can say it casually! It doesn't matter if you say it wrong, I will talk to you about Buddhism and Taoism again, so as to ensure that you have nothing to love in life, and once doubted life.
"Oh. . . What the abbot said is very true, how can the poor monk think it should be so!", Liuxin said solemnly.
"Good", Ichiyu smiled indifferently, and he turned to David Morrow, who was still kneeling in front of her.
"Amitabha, from today onwards, you will be the third apprentice of my temple, call me the master, and give you the Dharma name Wujing for the teacher. ”。
In this way, the "giant baby" has thought about the apprentice pit as soon as he rests, and he has already accounted for two, the big apprentice is called Wukong, and the third apprentice is a woman with the ability to control sand, and she was born in a place called Quicksand City, so the law name Wujing is even more suitable.
Where are the two apprentices? Ichiyu was looking forward to it, but he didn't find a huge danger, and he was getting closer and closer to him.
