Chapter 112: Don't Return to the Buddha

The Temple of No Return is not as solemn as the National Temple, but it has a taste of paradise and leisure. Of course, it would be even better if there were no noisy crowds in October and November.

In the middle of the lobby is a stone statue of Shakyamuni carved from a huge rock: the face is plump, the nose is square, the ears are hanging down the shoulders, the corners of the mouth are slightly raised, the body is wearing a robe, and the hands are wrapped around to form a meditation seal, which fully shows the Buddha's solemn and solemn, compassionate, and universal feelings for all sentient beings. The compassion between the eyebrows is especially real. The person who is in charge of the knife must have the talent of the devil.

Fifteen Buddhas such as the Ancient Buddha of the Burning Lamp, the Buddha of Lujana, and the Laughing Buddha of Maitreya are arranged in turn, as well as the Bodhisattvas of Guanyin, Manjushri, and Jizo. A dignified and kind person, with compassion for all sentient beings and reverence for Shakyamuni, is every gesture.

Meng Shaoguang looked at this good Buddha statue and squinted his eyes, even the Buddha statue in the national temple is not much compared to it, this temple of no return does not seem to be as simple as it seems.

"It is said that the Buddha is merciful, and he is humble and purifies all sentient beings. So worship the Buddha, so worship the Buddha. Everyone in the world knows that Buddhism is immeasurable, you can calm your mind and concentrate your mind, and the Buddhist scriptures wash your heart and make people return to calm and fall into the dust. The Buddha said that there are no people who cannot be saved, but the world is suffering from life. Those who worship the Buddha are still worshipping, the rich are still rich, and the poor are still struggling. The Buddha is compassionate, but not mindless. "Buddha is faith, it is people's desire for a better world, but it is a pity that Meng Shaoguang has no faith, and she is more inclined to reality than these.

"In addition to this hall, there are two side halls in the temple of no return, one side of the tribute is the king of the earth Bodhisattva, and the other side of the tribute is Guanyin Niangniang. The Buddhist scriptures say that if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell, this is the mind of King Jizo Bodhisattva. Hell is not empty, he will not leave himself. Guanyin is the sound of the world's suffering, she is the first Bodhisattva to think of when the world is suffering, and it is also the Bodhisattva who wanders in the world and tastes all kinds of life to solve all the sufferings in the world. The Temple of No Return only enshrines two Bodhisattvas in the side hall, which can be seen to have a deep meaning. It is no wonder that the royal family of the Western Dynasty came from thousands of miles to worship here. ”

"Oh?" Meng Shaoguang was not very clear about the affairs of the Western Dynasty, but when he heard Wuchen say this, he was interested. I want to know what is wonderful about the Temple of No Return in addition to the Buddha statue, which makes the royal family of the Western Dynasty so flocking.

Seeing that Meng Shaoguang was not interested in Buddhist temples and was so interested in gossip, Wuchen couldn't help but smile, pulled her to bow slightly, and then stepped aside and whispered the reason in her ear with a side face.

"The temple of no return is said to be a thousand years ago a person called the dust and fog scattered all the wealth to build, I don't know what his common name is, only know that he devoted his life to seeking Buddha preaching, in order to transmit the Buddha Tao planted maple trees on this mountain, attracted countless people to visit, he took the opportunity to preach Buddha, it is said that the Western Dynasty Hezhen Emperor came here to visit by its Buddhism subtlety moved, after returning to China, the Zen position directly came to the temple of no return, and in order to commemorate the dust and the Emperor Hezhen, the temple of no return also maintained the original style, in the noisy to understand the Buddha, a secluded and quiet place."

Meng Shaoguang's ears were full of the hot breath exhaled by Wu Chen, and after listening to him, he didn't think deeply at all and gave the most direct reaction: "Hypocrisy." ”

Wu Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, understood what Meng Shaoguang meant, and said softly: "Indeed, who knows what happened in it, maybe everyone stopped Emperor He Zhen at that time but couldn't stop it?" However, looking at the scene in the temple of the Temple of No Return, presumably the Western Dynasty is still very concerned about it. ”

"Yes." Meng Shaoguang nodded, he agreed with Wuchen's statement, in fact, it didn't mean anything for her to say that, there was nothing to agree with or disagree, what did other people's business have to do with her? She didn't have a position to judge anything.

"You can see what this Dharma is all about." Fifth Chen looked at the Buddhas intently, his eyes calm. It is not as if the devout believers bow down to it, and they do not fall behind in front of the Buddhas.

"The Buddha has no heart, although he is compassionate but not hateful, and he understands the suffering of all beings in the world, but he has never experienced it personally. They teach people to be good in their hearts, but they don't know that people's hearts look fundamentally different. Educating people is a great merit, so if you say Buddha, if you believe in it, you will be spiritual, and if you don't believe in it, you will do it. "Wu Chen is a businessman, and he naturally has a thorough understanding of people's hearts, and his understanding of the state of affairs is also comprehensive.

As for the Buddha, these groundless but mysterious things that hide people's hearts, his views are surprisingly similar to Meng Shaoguang's, he doesn't believe but he believes, and he doesn't believe in it.
