Chapter Seventy-Four: The Lecture and the Puja
Zhu Chongba has been studying Buddhist classics recently, after all, this lecture is held in Huangjue Temple, if the results of the monks of Huangjue Temple are not good, Zhu Chongba's plan will be affected below, all Zhu Chongba's arrangements are interlocking, if there is a little problem in one place, then Zhu Chongba needs to be rearranged.
In fact, Zhu Chongba himself once laughed at himself, he could have lived a very calm life and easily met the challenges of the future, but he just wanted to create some difficulties for himself, why is this?
Because Zhu Chongba is determined to do his best no matter what he does, this is his promise to himself, and he must do it. Of course, these things are also very important things.
However, Zhu Chongba still has to come out, because he is an important figure in this lecture and Fa, and even the so-called soul figure, if he doesn't come out again, those who come from the temple outside will probably be angry.
First of all, the monks of the Great Xiangguo Temple came, they are the judges of this lecture meeting, because of the status of the Great Xiangguo Temple, the presiding abbot of the Huangjue Temple, such as Master Jing and other people of the Huangjue Temple opened the gate of the Huangjue Temple to welcome the distinguished guests from afar.
"Which one is Master Rujing?" Zen Master Zhiying of Daxiangguo Temple folded his hands and looked at the monks of Huangjue Temple.
Zen Master Zhiying looks to be in his forties at most, and after studying Buddhist scriptures for many years, he looks like a high-ranking monk.
"The little monk is!" Zhu Chongba folded his hands very respectfully and performed a Buddhist salute to Zen Master Zhiying.
"Master Rujing, you have solved the mystery that the poor monk has not solved for many years, please accept the poor monk's courtesy!" Zen Master Zhiying said that he was going to salute, and Zhu Chongba would definitely not let Zen Master Zhiying do that.
"Don't be polite! The little monk also relies on the teachings of the abbot of the temple, and he has a sense that everything is the credit of the abbot master of the temple! Zhu Chongba gave all the credit to the presiding abbot of Huangjue Temple, but at this time, the presiding abbot was still confused, and he didn't know what was going on?
It turned out that Xiaochun went to a nearby temple according to Zhu Chongba's instructions, and happened to hear that this Zhiying Zen master was studying Buddhism with the monks here, and sent a document to collect a few difficult questions about Buddhism, Xiaoying brought back those questions, Zhu Chongba was itchy for a while, so he answered them all, Xiaochun brought it back, Zhiying Zen Master saw it, and was surprised on the spot, and wanted to go to Huangjue Temple to meet with Zhu Chongba.
After analyzing such a thing, Zhu Chongba decided to go to see Zen Master Zhiying himself, because he also wanted to see how the situation was in other temples.
This meeting, it was really late to see each other! Zhu Chongba also learned that Zen Master Zhiying actually came to preside over the lecture meeting, after hearing the news, Zhu Chongba instantly had an idea, and said to Zen Master Zhiying, originally Zhu Chongba thought that Zen Master Zhiying might think about it for a long time, but he didn't expect Zen Master Zhiying to agree to this matter.
Under Zhu Chongba's personal arrangement, Zen Master Zhiying tasted the delicious vegetarian dishes and sweet watermelon of Huangjue Temple, and was even more happy, feeling that he had made a very correct decision.
In fact, the first place in this lecture has already been produced, and that is Zhu Chongba, Master Rujing! There is no doubt about this, because the judges' questions are all answered by Zhu Chongba, do you say that others still have hope of competing for the first place?
But Zhu Chongba did not show that he did not pay much attention to other people, and he attached great importance to this lecture meeting, otherwise he would not have studied the Buddhist scriptures himself when arranging this lecture meeting.
Regardless of your strength, you have to follow the flow of the puja! In fact, there are only two parts of this lecture meeting, one is the lecture, and the topics are drawn on the spot, a total of 100 topics, and each person will draw one.
Because this is all random, so it's still very fair, otherwise someone knows the topic in advance, then it will be unfair, with Zhiying Zen Master here, such a thing will not happen. Because Zen Master Zhiying is famous in the Buddhist world, he is famous for enforcing the law, there is one saying one, there are two saying two, and he will not cheat for personal gain at all.
After all, the monks here have no interest in Zhiying Zen Master at all, although Zhiying Zen Master has eaten very well in Huangjue Temple recently, but Zhiying Zen Master will not do things that eat other people's mouths, after all, one thing is the same thing.
Of course, Zhu Chongba also let Zen Master Zhiying visit the greenhouse of Huangjue Temple, and this discovery shocked Zen Master Zhiying very much, because he never thought that such a small temple would have such a great monk.
In the opinion of Zen Master Zhiying, Zhu Chongba is not only professional, but also has a very profound understanding of Buddhist scriptures, and he seems to be only in his early twenties.
Zen Master Zhiying was very pleased, because he felt that there were successors in the Buddhist academic community, and they would definitely carry it forward in the future.
Originally, the monks who came from afar were very angry, because they looked down on the Huangjue Temple when they saw that this Huangjue Temple was so small and so broken, and they all looked down on the Huangjue Temple, but since they ate the delicious vegetarian dishes and sweet watermelons provided by the Huangjue Temple, all the grievances disappeared, and no one said anything about it.
Not only that, the monks who came here to participate in the meeting are very happy, if they don't come here to participate in the meeting, they are estimated to have no such opportunity to eat such a delicious meal in their lives, for a while, they have a new view of Huangjue Temple, someone also said a sentence, the mountain is not high, there are immortals are famous, the temple is not new, there is a taste on the line.
Hearing their discussions, Zhu Chongba himself also felt that these monks were really very good! As long as you are good to him, he will definitely appreciate you and will always remember you for being good.
Not only that, some monks are already thinking about how to enter the Huangjue Temple, no, the old abbot of the Huangjue Temple is now surrounded by a group of monks, and they are asking the Huangjue Temple to find people.
Hearing the words of these monks, at the beginning, the abbot of Huangjue Temple was also a little blind, conditions? It turns out that Huangjue Temple recruits people to come, as long as you want to stay, then stay, where are the conditions?
But the old abbot of Huangjue Temple is worthy of being an old monk who has experienced a lot of things, "The conditions for this temple to recruit new disciples are like this, first, smart, hard-working and capable, second, it is best to graduate from a Buddhist college, or be very familiar with Buddhist scriptures, and have to go through a special examination." ”
After listening to the words of the abbot of Huangjue Temple, the monks asked again, "When will your temple hold a recruitment exam?" ”
