He was willing to give in, and the old abbot was relieved, and his tone softened a lot.

"Don't blame Lao Wei for making a fuss or being unkind, after all, what you say today is for the sake of the future of you and Yunju Temple. I am not worried about the rest of the things, but I am worried that you are too emotionally involved and easily stumped by them. Embarrassing love, although not every monk will encounter it, once encountered, it is often difficult to distinguish and extricate himself, you know, emptiness is a bloody example of the near side. The same is true for you, even if you have extraordinary talents, you have never experienced such a thing, so I have to tell you earlier. I have strict precepts, which is not only a requirement for the self-cultivation of monks, but also an excellent help for wishing you an early ascent to the Great Dao. ”

"What the abbot said is extremely true, the heart is shallow, and naturally he should listen to the teachings and act more. Although there is still a one-month appointment with Yin Shizhu, since this is the case, in order to avoid suspicion, Xin Che will send someone else to settle down at that time, and handle it properly. ”

The old abbot's exhortation was effective, and his heart-to-heart attitude became more and more respectful. The two of them said a word, in addition to discussing the daily management of the mountain temple, the rest was all the old abbot's words of sustenance, he seemed to have a little inspiration for his destiny, and every sentence of advice seemed to be explaining the future.

"Xinche, your identity is precious, I don't need to say more, the responsibility on your shoulders should also be clear, I am old, only you are all the hope of Yunju Temple. Monks are born from the Buddha and die for the Buddha all their lives, which is short and short, but long but long. The length of this life depends entirely on whether the monk can always adhere to the heart of the Buddha without changing, and only the one who always adheres to it is qualified to approach the way of heaven infinitely. in order to finally become the choice of the Buddha. People can promote the Tao, but not the Tao. Unlike those people in the world who are obsessed with their careers, as an elder, I do not require you to be famous and famous in the world. But as the one who is destined for fate, you have the responsibility to keep the incense of Yunju Temple for thousands of years, to benefit all living beings with Zen Buddhism, and to do your best to create and maintain a pure land on earth. Do you know what the old man said? ”

"Amitabha, the heart is clear and obedient to the abbot's teachings, and he must devote himself to the Tao and stick to self-denial. In order to realize my Buddha avenue, I have done my best to die and die. ”

Such heartfelt words. It was the old abbot and Xinche who first mentioned the future of him and Yunju Temple. Although such a responsibility and fate have been thought of countless times by Xinche himself, he has a different sense of sacredness when he listens to what the old abbot himself said. For the Great Departure, Xinche may just be an ordinary monk who doesn't matter. But for thousands of monks and believers in Yunju Temple and Shangyuan Prefecture. He was the most important one. He was born great. A lifetime can only live under fame and heavy responsibility, not a single step will be wrong, and there can be no fear and retreat. Destiny. He served the Buddha and will eventually become a Buddha.

He bowed deeply and bowed to the old abbot, and his words firmly showed his will to defend the Tao and protect the Dharma. The old abbot who heard the words was excited and happy, and nodded with satisfaction before he lifted his heart up again.

"Don't be nervous, don't worry, you've been doing a good job, I have confidence in Yunju Temple, and the same is true for you. In the future, you still have a long way to go, and it is inevitable that all kinds of situations will arise. At that time, maybe I was no longer there, but as long as you can remember what I said today, then I can be blind in the western sky. ”

"Senior Brother Abbot has always been healthy, but now he is only occasionally unwell, so don't say such frustrating words."

Xin Che didn't want the old abbot to have any more words of life and death, but the old abbot himself saw it clearly, waved his hand to signal that he didn't have to worry, and comforted him in turn.

"Life is fixed, life and death are fate, the west heaven is the land of my Buddha's bliss, and the old man is not afraid and yearns for it. As for Yunju Temple and future generations, with you, I don't have anything to worry about. ”

Half of the ideals and concepts of right and wrong come from the vast Buddhist scriptures, and half from the teachings of the abbot of eternal silence, just as half from the western heavens and half from the earth. He was born with a Buddha nature, and he can tell the Buddhist classics that ordinary people can't understand, and he often has his own unique insights and thoughts, but he has never heard the old abbot speak about the world. The filial piety that is spoken of in the world is so prostitutive for him to listen to the teachings of the sermon.

Farewell to the old abbot, a conversation stirred his mind complicated. Xin Che deliberately wanted to be pure, so he chose a path that was not often taken by the monks, and walked around and around to the outside of the apse alone. This place is close to the cliff wall of Donghuang Mountain, there are only a few inconspicuous tiled houses, and most of them are already the collapse of the ruins, and they will disappear completely without a few wind and rain.

These side halls are the oldest buildings in the temple, which should have been repaired and protected, but they were all destroyed due to a wildfire in the middle. The broken tiles collapsed, and no one in the temple was willing to take care of it, only Xin Che reluctantly cleaned up one of them a few years ago to enshrine some special monks. Later, he was either wandering or enlightened, he had been busy for many years and had not come back for a long time, and now he saw him again, except for being more dilapidated, the appearance of these abandoned halls had not changed.

He didn't really care, and walked into the ruined hall that could barely hold on. The door of the temple had been corroded and dilapidated by the tide insects, and there were no bright candles or guards in the temple, except for the dark smell of dust, and there was only an offering table of illegible color. There were no incense and candle offerings on the offering table, only ten ink-colored spiritual flags standing in the middle, and a few scriptures were offered in front of them. The tablets are all the same size and color, and all the tablets are empty, but if you look closely, you will see that nine of the tablets are covered with dust, and the last one looks like it was newly made, and it must have been put up recently.

Yunju Temple has been established for a long time, not counting the pending orders to travel around, the monks of the past dynasties are uncountable. There has always been a tall side hall in the temple dedicated to storing tablets dedicated to the deceased monks, and if the abbots of the past dynasties or those who have made outstanding contributions to the mountain temple, there will also be special Buddhist shrines for small statues. However, there is an unwritten rule in the former mountain temple, those who are willing to return to the world, defect from the temple or do some evil deeds are not allowed to enter the side hall after the death of the tablet.

At that time, Xin Che had just attained enlightenment, and he was still a little monk who was more compassionate than ruthless, and after hearing about this, he argued with the old abbot and asked for a permission. He personally cleaned out a side hall, consulted all the temple scriptures, and set up nameless tablets for the nine people who rebelled against the temple in the history of Yunju Temple, which can be regarded as a vast merit of Buddhism. Now, there is a new addition to the ten tablets, and I think it should be the empty nephew who didn't have time to say goodbye. (To be continued......)

PS: As fate would have it, he served the Buddha and was going to become a Buddha eventually.
