"Self-view, self-view, no one, no one, no one, ask where is your home at this time? Knowing where you are naturally free, if you come to the Buddha, if the Buddha comes, there is a future, there is a future, how to get this body? I have come here as I see. Li Feng saw a pair of couplets on the mountain gate of the temple gate, nodded, a few little monks, no, a few little martial artists curiously glanced at a few people and ran up the stairs. These different little monks of the temple did not greet and lead the way to the small temple, Li Feng helped his mother up the stairs, and the two children blinked and looked around curiously with big eyes. Walk up the stairs, the temple repair is not big, a courtyard is directly opposite the main hall, the monks' houses on both sides, there are only three or two real monks here, there is a school not far away - Shengde Wenwu School, a few small warriors take recess time to clean the courtyard, one class a day.
"Mom, let's burn incense first." There is a saying that the left hand is clean, and the right hand eats meat and meat, which is bloody, which is generally for left-handers, of course, except for left-handers. Lighting incense is taboo and has no light, the so-called light is not light, and it is right to shout that there is no light, Li Feng They are not so-called laymen, not real devout Buddhists. There is no need for three steps and one bow, nine steps and one knock, this is not necessary.
Li Feng took out the red candles and lit them one by one, lit three incense sticks to keep himself safe, six of them were healthy and healthy, and most of the nine roots had already prayed for the blessings of three generations of family members, as for thirteen roots, few people were too extravagant. Li Feng helped his two children light three sticks of incense, and he and his mother had nine. Li Feng taught the two children to worship the Buddha, this is the courtyard, only the incense burner and the Buddha worship in the four directions, holding incense on the upper left and lower right, worshipping in all directions, clockwise and three times raised above the eyebrows. Don't say that I believe in the existence of gods and Buddhas, but when I worship the Buddha, my mood is pure, and I insert incense, Li Feng helps to replace the incense burner too high, and the two children are not cheap.
The futon only kneels left and right without kneeling in the middle, Li Feng mostly remembers to put his hands together, and between his hands is free, holding high three bows, and the gestures are mostly pasted first and then turned close to his legs. Most of them have a stick of incense in their hearts, and they are rarely so regular at this time. When Li Feng saluted, an old monk standing behind him nodded. After all, this is a mountain and a countryside, and the people worship the Buddha at will, and there are few such rules. Such a person knows a little bit about the rules of Buddhism, the old monk smiled. "Amitabha." Li Feng was stunned for a moment, the old monk was kind and kind, his face was ruddy, but it was the image of a high monk Li Feng couldn't help but pause slightly when he saw it.
"Master, okay." Li Feng helped his mother, an old monk wearing a short monk's robe, but pale yellow, navy blue, and holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand.
"Amitabha, please come here." Li Feng walked into the main hall, and now the hall has undergone great changes, the ground has been repaired with a cement floor, and the left and right sides are reinforced concrete, even if several pillars are mostly made of cement, the picture is dyed with color, and the golden light is shining. In the center of the main hall are the three saints of the West, Amitabha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Great Trend to the Bodhisattva, the three benevolent eyebrows, shining with brilliance, no other Buddha saw the majesty but a little more relaxed.
In fact, for many people, there is no difference between Amitabha Buddha and Shakyamuni Buddha, and they are both Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Seeing the Buddha and worshiping the Buddha, Li Feng's merit box stuffed his merit money, no more, no less, sixty-six yuan and six cents per person, I don't know that such merit is not much. However, the people, ten yuan and twenty are the majority, these are not less, after all, some incense in the temple is already good.
"Bell, Sakisaki, come over and show the master." Looking at the bones, Li Feng mostly doesn't believe in these, people will win the day, and this has been unchanged for many years. But this person saw that the master's speech was faintly prophetic, could this be numerology? ..., the old monk didn't talk much, every sentence was to the lifeline, and his slightly smiling face revealed a hint of unfathomability. Li Feng felt strange in his heart, but this person's speech was mostly ambiguous, and most of them couldn't hit all the points, even so, Li Feng's eyes were already shining when he saw his mother. Speak without being thorough and point-to-point.
This old man doesn't say anything else, but he has a bit of eyesight, experience, and clear speech, which makes people feel disgusted.
"Gifted?" Li Feng was stunned, few temples gave away consecrated things, most of them were bought with money, Li Feng was quite surprised, these two white jade Buddhas were actually given to two children for nothing. Li Feng was a little incomprehensible, the old monk in front of him was strange, strange, not numerology, and he didn't speak like other monks who were unfathomable, full of evil energy, and the Buddha was omnipotent. Speaking of this, there is a faint meaning of the Buddha's destiny.
"Master, what's over here?" Li Feng walked into the side hall with a few King Kong statues, but they were connected to the canteen, and Li Feng looked awkward about it. The whole side hall is full of fragrance, it is really fragrant, Li Feng looked at a few jars, and couldn't help but be stunned, did he really meet the Buddha jumping over the wall, is this old monk still a foodie, but this King Kong statue is used to see the kitchen This master is a second person. It's Buddhism, King Kong, you went here to become a kitchen doorman, interesting, really interesting old man.
At this time, it was only ninety o'clock, Li Feng smelled the fragrance and was a little nervous, this smell was really fragrant. "Here are some fasting meals, a few of you here, please." Small wooden tables, small wooden chairs, wooden bowls, wooden spoons, all together are wooden cutlery, black ponds, boiling on the charcoal fire, and the old monk gave a bowl of soup. Li Feng sniffed his nose, this can't be dog meat. "Master, why is this fasting meal?" Li Feng tasted it and became more and more convinced that there was dog meat here. "Hehe, this student's family is filial, abandoning waste, and environmental protection conforms to the destiny of heaven." Li Feng almost couldn't hold back a mouthful of soup squirting out, Li Feng was a little surprised, this old monk was very interesting to speak.
"It's not that the master can't be contaminated with meat when he is a monk, this is a little inappropriate." Why didn't Li Feng expect to meet such an old monk. "What the donor said is extremely true, Buddhism's compassion is not yet killing." Li Feng said that the old monk did not understand more and more, he did not kill, did not steal, did not lewd, did not lie, did not drink, did not decorate incense powder, did not sing and dance, did not sit on a high bed, did not eat out of time, and did not accumulate gold and silver treasures. These Li Feng knew that this old monk would not be unaware.
"But this one." Li Feng pointed to a few pieces of dog meat floating in the soup, coriander foam, this meat is really chewy by himself, is this thing fake.
"Dog meat." Not to mention that Li Feng opened his mouth in surprise, Zhang Lan felt incredible, only the two children felt that the meat soup was fresh and delicious.
The old monk talked about it carefully, and Li Feng knew that these fasting meals were only for pilgrims to eat, but this one was even more strange, a few of these pilgrims ate dog meat in the Buddha Gate. Li Feng was speechless, seeing that his mother didn't drink dog broth anymore. This will Li Feng feel that this old monk is chattering, talking and doing things, how can he feel a little bit like that.
Li Feng glanced back when the car left, and shook his head, this old monk was really a little strange. "Xiaobao, let's go." The car drove far away, Li Feng shook and smiled bitterly, this Shengde Temple really became more and more strange the more he thought about it. The old monk smiled faintly, looked at the car and left, turned around and walked into the room, and several little warriors ran in, twitching their noses, and holding wooden bowls one by one.
"Master, today's dog meat is really delicious, it's a pity that it's a little less, next time, I'll bring more." The old monk shook his head and didn't speak, and the little warriors who were cleaning the staircase temple Meimei drank a bowl of broth, smiled and ran away. ..., Li Feng didn't know that this place was not to make soup for this pilgrim, but to replenish the body for these little martial artists, this is considered a welfare, clean the temple and get up at four or five o'clock, this will eat some soup to replenish the body, and will fight boxing and doing exercises and the like for a while. The old monk joked casually, and the old man sometimes liked to amuse others.
Li Feng's car stopped, it was not yet noon, and it was quiet in the Taolin courtyard. The van had just stopped, and a little black bird, flew. "Eat, eat." Needless to say, the little baba flew over, this guy has learned to eat, eat these days, and now everyone is calling for eat, eat.
"This little thing is eaten every day, and it was stewed that day, hehe." Li Feng was very worried about the big python, the animal in the yard, which would be a bit like eating too much, he hadn't eaten these days, Li Feng was still afraid that something would happen, and after checking some information, he knew that the python would be fine if he didn't eat for most of the month. As for the big turtle Li Feng, half of the lotus root in the pond has been dug up. Half of the water is put in, there is more space for fish fry Li Feng, the big soft-shelled turtle is put in, the fish and shrimp are enough for it to toss, there are fat boys, spotted dogs, and small Tibetan mastiffs at home are quite big, and no one dares to move casually when these three look at them. Twinkle and Furball, the two little ghost elves, don't know how many fruits, pine nuts, walnuts, no problem with food in a winter, little black bear, these days eat less, there are signs of hibernation. As for the mountain mouse, the pig is like two small things, and they don't eat much, only the chicken claw pig, the little leather monkey black ball, the black ball has hawthorn, the wild fruit is almost there, and the chicken claw pig is difficult to eat meat. But fortunately, this guy eats fish, ditches, ponds and other things, Li Feng got a lot of fish and shrimp from the space and poured them in, last night, half of the fish and shrimp in Li Feng's space were cleaned up, and there were thousands of catties of fish and shrimp seedlings with a lot of spring water, this thing has multiplied at least several times in a few months, these fish and shrimp are enough for chicken feet and pigs to eat for a lifetime.
Sika deer, forty or fifty pheasants in the back mountain, dozens of ducks do not need much care, they are free-ranged, they are fed every morning, and they come back in the evening. Don't worry too much, there are a lot of forage in the mountains, and the sika deer don't run away casually. has his own parents at home, Li Feng can rest assured, he will leave tomorrow, I don't know what happened in Beijing.
Many of his former colleagues, now they are not in Beijing, most of the year they have no contact home, only a few good brothers often contact, a few days ago, Li Feng was looking for a house, the hospital inquired about things are a little brother brought out by himself to help.
