Chapter 573: History Sweeps the Sands, Life and Death Are Not Up to Anyone!
Chapter 573 History is swept by the waves, life and death are not up to anyone!
In the capital, Dongzhimen Needlework Hutong, there is a temple here, called Tongjiao Temple. Tongjiao Temple was built in the Ming Dynasty as an old temple, which was destroyed many times, but was eventually rebuilt and became a national key protected temple.
Many old Beijing dialects, like to come here to chat with Fengzhi Zen Master, Fengzhi Zen Master is the host of Tongjiao Temple, it is said that from the time of the Beiping War, she has been living in this temple, even if several dismissals, she has always stayed here, never abandoned. Zen Master Fengzhi is nearly 100 years old, her body is still very tough, and almost all the people around her have grown up with her, and there is nothing she doesn't know about the things at the foot of Beiping.
There are not many monks in the temple, but most of them are nuns, only a few monks, the whole temple does not exceed thirty people, but it is quite quiet and peaceful, the smoke is curling, and there are very few people who usually come here, because outsiders rarely know about this small temple, people in the capital, who will come to this small temple? Most of them go to Shaolin Temple, or famous mountains and ancient temples across the country.
At this time, in the hall of the Mahavira Treasure, a delicate woman with long hair fluttering knelt in front of the Buddha, with a pious face, no joy or sorrow.
"Are you all ready? As soon as you enter the empty door, the four major ones are empty, and the worldly grievances and grievances, have you really forgotten about it? β
An old nun with a slightly withered face said lightly, she is the host of Tongjiao Temple, Fengzhi Zen Master. Known as the first wise man in the capital, of course, it is praised among the people of the old capital. Zen Master Fengzhi looked indifferent, without any emotion, and she knew a little about the woman in front of her.
"Master Fengzhi, I have made up my mind. I also hope that you can be fulfilled, accept me as a disciple, and Hongfu will chant sutras all day long, calm the mind of the Buddha, and never care about the disturbances of the world. β
The woman whispered, with a touch of silence on her beautiful face, as if she was a little sad, how could the old Ni Fengzhi Zen Master, who had lived for nearly a century, not see it? She has read countless people in her life, and almost never has any worldly disturbances, but she has already seen through the red dust and disturbances. Fengzhi Zen Master has never had any shelf, anyone who comes to admire, she will be enlightened, in her words, in life, you will have a lot of encounters, meet your beloved, meet the most intimate friends, meet the most perfect yourself, when you meet all the qiΔ, you will understand the meaning of coming to this world.
"Taking refuge in my Buddha is not to worship the Buddha all day long, but to sincerely bond with the Buddha, if you are still concerned about the world, why hide it in front of the Buddha?"
Zen Master Fengzhi said.
"I just want to change my life, my heart, it's dead."
"As long as people are alive, there is no such thing as heart death. You can get a new life, and ordination is not the only choice, you still have your own life, or family affection, or lover, or life pursuit. Even if you really shave, can you really forget this qiΔ in the world? β
Xuanyuan Hongfu's expression moved slightly, she didn't know how to pick up Zen Master Fengzhi's words, could she really forget this qiΔ? Maybe, maybe, she never forgot about it. But she doesn't want to be tied up by the world anymore, and only by forgetting about it and starting a new life can she get a new life.
"You didn't choose to die, which shows that your heart is still alive, and you can still accept others to accept new things, give yourself a chance, and give others a chance, in life, there is no absolute right or wrong."
The words of Zen Master Fengzhi are full of words and speak to Xuanyuan Hongfu's heart.
"Master, I've made up my mind, let's get started."
Xuanyuan Hongfu still said lightly, but only she knows best how her heart turns over the river and the sea.
Zen Master Fengzhi sighed, a touch of disappointment flashed on her old face, and she still couldn't get out of her heart knot.
"Twenty years of earthly dust returning to the earth, can you really not forget this qiΔ? The Forbidden City is changing, life and death are not up to oneself, let alone others, fate is so that even the Buddha can't change it. No matter who is right or wrong, if you don't start, how do you know that there will be no result? I have also heard a little about the changes in that year, but if you really want to say a reason, then it is the times that create heroes, but the times can erase many people. β
Xuanyuan Hongfu raised her head and looked at Zen Master Fengzhi in surprise, but she didn't expect that she even knew the secrets of the capital and other people who only knew about the few people standing at the top of the pyramid. Zen Master Fengzhi's words undoubtedly refer to the capital movement twenty years ago.
"There are some things, you can't change anything as a woman, you don't have to blame yourself, although since the end of the Qing Dynasty, there have been people who have been shouting about the equality of men and women, but is it really equal? Women will always be a vulnerable group, and the reason why matrilineal society has been replaced by patrilineal society is not only the change of the times, human evolution, but also the fact that women are really inferior to men, and they are inferior in many aspects. In addition to having children, men can do things that women can do, but women have too many things that they can't do, because of bondage, because of limited ability, because we ourselves belong to the category of being protected. Don't compare with men, fight with men. Women, you have to do what women should do, you can't change history, because they have become a foregone conclusion, and you can't change others, then you have to learn to change yourself. β
Zen Master Fengzhi still patiently said to Xuanyuan Hongfu, if there is no trace of earthly emotion, then Zen Master Fengzhi will not waste his tongue to say so much, precisely because from her eyes, I can see too much reluctance, too much attachment, too much regret and self-blame.
After a long time, Xuanyuan Red Buddha still didn't say a word, and Zen Master Fengzhi understood that no matter how much she said, she couldn't seem to shake or even change the mind in her heart, so she immediately picked up the razor in her hand and began to prepare to shave for Xuanyuan Hong.
Just as the razor was about to cut off the edge of the dust at Xuanyuan Hong, a figure rushed in from outside the door of Tongjiao Temple.
"Red Whisk, you must not be able to become a monk! Red Whisk! β
"I'm sorry, this donor, we are not open to the public today, donor, donor, please stay."
A novice stopped the middle-aged man who was rushing towards him, but the middle-aged man directly pushed the little novice to the ground, and glared angrily, rampaged, and went straight to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and his voice was like a morning bell, quite loud.
"Red Whisk, if you become a monk, where should I go? I've been waiting for you for twenty years, can't I make you forget him? β
Long Tuge's face was full of sadness, and the emotions of twenty years could not be described as ruthless and meaningful, but he still couldn't get a word of concern from Xuanyuan Hongfu.
Longtu Pavilion walked steadily, majestic, regardless of the obstruction of the monks and nuns in the temple, rushed directly into the Daxiong Treasure Palace, Fengzhi Zen Master looked solemn, directly across the door of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, not moving like a mountain, Longtu Pavilion's brazen collision, was Fengzhi Zen Master casually blocked, the former was shocked back more than ten meters, back against the cast iron incense burner behind him, only to stabilize his figure, his face was a little gloomy.
"The place where Buddhism cultivates, how can you allow you to be unbridled and noisy."
Zen Master Fengzhi said lightly.
Long Tu Pavilion also became solemn in an instant, he never expected that a small temple would hide a master who was difficult for him to resist, this person was by no means simple. This small temple in the Forbidden City is a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
"It's offensive, master, don't be surprised. It's just that I'm so desperate, that's why I'm so reckless. β
"That's it."
Fengzhi Zen Master didn't care too much, after all, he was a friend of Xuanyuan Red Buddha, twenty years of infatuation, the Long family's eldest young Dragon Pavilion, Fengzhi Zen Master is still very clear, but for Fengzhi Zen Master, Long Tuge doesn't know much, and he almost planted a big heel in the hands of Fengzhi Zen Master.
"You go back, Longtu Pavilion, I have made up my mind, and no one can shake me."
Xuanyuan Hongfu didn't look back, just whispered.
"Don't you even want to look at me more? Red Breeze, Big Brother has been gone for so many years, and you still can't forget it. I know no amount of work I can do, but I don't want to watch you spend the rest of your life here. β
Long Tuge's face was full of resentment, he hoped that she would be able to turn back, but once she escaped into the empty door, it would mean that she would say goodbye to this world completely, and he would not have any chance, although it was rumored that Su Tianting had returned, but what the truth was, no one knew that since the last appearance in Qincheng Prison, Su Tianting had never appeared again. The people in the Forbidden City finally quieted down, after all, Su Tianting was short-lived and did not pose a threat to anyone.
"Let's go, donor, I've been persuading her for a long time, and if I can persuade her, she won't stay here. My Buddha is compassionate, the Buddha is destined to be a person, if she really takes refuge in my Buddha, no one can change it, if she still has an earthly heart, then she will return to the world. β
Zen Master Fengzhi said directly to Longtu Pavilion straight to the point, her efforts are all useless, it is better to let this man leave early, and also shave her, take refuge in Buddhism, and become a monk is a person's freedom, and the monk represents the hidden world, she can choose here, it is also a kind of fate.
"But the red whiskβ"
Long Tuge was still unwilling, he didn't want to watch his favorite person escape into the empty door. Twenty years of waiting, but in exchange for such treatment, the anger in Long Tuge's heart can be imagined.
"Red Whisk, don't force me, you have to come with me today."
Long Tuge finally couldn't bear it anymore, he had to use a strong one.
"Master, I hope you don't stop me, if you don't want the entire Tongjiao Temple to be in ruins."
Long Tuge said in a deep voice to the figure standing in front of him.
"I want to use a strong one, my mother, how can you get involved?"
An emaciated figure slowly walked into the Tongjiao Temple, his eyes were cold, like eagle eyes, extremely sharp, and everyone in the entire Tongjiao Temple could feel a cold breath.
[Author's digression]: The second update, sorry, that's all for these two changes today. Good night.
