Monk Guanghui squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, nodded and praised: "It's rare that County Magistrate Kong is so attentive, it's really vivid." ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand at the little master who was standing not far away. The little master took out a scroll of drawings from the back hall, unfolded it and hung it on the wall.

Everyone took a closer look, and it turned out to be Maitreya Bodhisattva and the Four Heavenly Kings. The forms are majestic and lifelike, with bright colors and lifelike.

After everyone admired it, County Magistrate Kong smiled and said to Monk Guanghui contemplatively: "Master's painting work is really delicate and exquisite. I have also learned to draw statues of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, but I have not paid much attention to the statues of the four heavenly kings. They really have different demeanors, and even the things they hold in their hands are different. ”

Monk Guanghui recited the Buddha's name, pointed to the portrait and said, "These are all used to express the Dharma." This is the king of the Oriental Holding Country, and the country refers to the country. The most important meaning of holding a country is to be responsible. We cultivate ourselves and work together as a family, that is, we are responsible for ourselves, the society and the country. Whatever your identity is, you have to take on what responsibilities. That's what he taught us to be.

The king of the kingdom holds a pipa in his hand. It means that the responsibility and due diligence should be just right, not excessive, nor too under, and should be in the middle way. Just like the strings, if they are too tight, they will break, and if they are too loose, they must be tuned just right.

This is the king of growth in the south, the meaning of growth, in today's words, is to seek progress and keep pace with the times. Just like Confucianism says, every day is new, and every day is new and new. The growth heavenly king, holding a sword in his hand, represents the sword of wisdom, which can cut off troubles. Troubles are like messes, and only the sword of wisdom can cut off all troubles, which means this.

This is the Wide-Eyed Heavenly King of the West, and the Duowen Heavenly King of the North. The first two are the goal of teaching sentient beings to study, teaching us to do our duties and responsibilities and change with each passing day.

The latter two are teaching us to watch more and listen more. The so-called reading 10,000 books and traveling 10,000 miles, wisdom comes from here.

The Wide-eyed Heavenly King, holding a dragon or snake in his right hand, the dragon snake represents the unpredictable. It tells us that the world is impermanent, and we must use wisdom to judge and choose.

The king of heaven in the north is holding an umbrella cover in his hand. The umbrella represents covering, that is, to prevent being polluted by dust when smelling too much, and to maintain the original pure mind.

In the Hall of the Heavenly King, the entrance is dedicated to Maitreya Bodhisattva. Equipped with a pair of couplings: a big belly can accommodate things that are intolerable in the world; Always laugh at the ridiculous people in the world.

It is to teach people to live with an optimistic and inclusive attitude. After understanding the above ways of dealing with people, you will be qualified to enter the Buddha hall and study the Dharma. ”

After listening to Monk Guanghui's explanation, everyone whispered like waking up from a dream.

Shao Caizhu muttered contemplatively: "I only know that when I come to the temple to burn incense and offer to the Buddha, I ask the Buddha and Bodhisattva to bless me with peace and wealth." Unexpectedly, there are so many famous miles. ”

Monk Guanghui smiled compassionately and said, "All the statues and offerings of Buddha and Bodhisattva in the temple are used to express the Dharma and are teaching tools. A monastery is like a school, which teaches people how to behave and do things, how to overcome afflictions, and how to keep a pure mind. How to get rid of the suffering of the six realms of samsara through the study of Buddhism, and finally rebirth as a Buddha, and achieve complete liberation.

Therefore, Buddhism is teaching, the supreme education in the world, not a simple superstitious activity. ”

After everyone whispered again, County Magistrate Kong sincerely praised: "Master is merciful and wise, and took this opportunity to teach us the Dharma again, which has made us understand a lot. Now that the restoration of the temple has been decided, we will also take this opportunity to set down the relevant personnel in charge of the construction, and we will do what we say. ”

After a pause, County Magistrate Kong glanced at everyone, and then said: "The preparatory group has one commander-in-chief, two deputy commanders, two financial directors, and several supervisors. Let's see who is willing to take the initiative to take on this burden. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at everyone again. Seeing that everyone bowed their heads and was silent, he smiled slightly and said, "It seems that everyone is very humble, so I will personally order the general." ”

Hearing this, everyone raised their heads as if they had seen water in dry grain, and looked at County Magistrate Kong with expectant eyes.

In the lobby, only the crickets, which are so quiet that they don't know the thickness of the sky, are screaming tightly and slowly.

County Magistrate Kong cleared his throat, glanced at everyone with a smile, and said, "Sun Mingzhi can write and calculate, and he is also familiar with the doorways of various industries, and it is the right year." I think, this commander-in-chief, he should be the commander, right? ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone nodded and praised, but Sun Mingzhi stood up unhurriedly and said calmly: "It is my duty to prepare for the construction of the temple." It's just that I have some ideas about personnel arrangements. ”

County Magistrate Kong waved his hand happily and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

Sun Mingzhi nodded at everyone respectfully, and said in a calm voice: "There are many personnel departments involved in the construction of the temple, and coordination and cooperation are the key to ensuring the success of the temple. Therefore, the post of commander-in-chief is none other than the county magistrate Kong.

This makes it easier to issue instructions directly and avoid prevarication between departments. Second, the reduction of the reporting and approval process can greatly improve the efficiency of work. Master Guanghui and I served as the deputy commander-in-chief. Master Guanghui is responsible for the production and procurement of statue-making utensils in the hall. I was in charge of the construction of the civil engineering building and the procurement of materials.

A monk from the monastery will cooperate with Kong Qingwu to be responsible for all the accounts in and out. All the colleagues present here are strong and strong to serve as commanders of various departments, and the old and infirm are to serve as supervisors. We will work together to restore the temple as soon as possible with quality and quantity for the benefit of the people. ”

When County Magistrate Kong heard this, he took the lead in applauding. After a burst of applause and laughter, County Magistrate Kong sincerely admired: "Oh, you are worthy of being a top student of Peking University, and you are thoughtful when you consider the problem." Just do as you say, but Xiangzi can't teach you to use it, so let him hang up a supervisor first.

He is more anxious than anyone else to build a temple, but the county government can't do without him, so he can only find time to run errands for you. ”

Sun Mingzhi smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "I didn't dare to tie Assistant Guo to death in one place, and planned to let him be in charge of the coordination and liaison of various departments." I know he's still on fundraising. ”

Xiangzi, who had been silent, said with a little excitement at this time: "Brother Sun still understands me, and I will play tricks for you about building a temple." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at County Magistrate Kong slyly and said, "There haven't been any major events in the county recently, I want to walk around and see if I can make some donations." ”

County Magistrate Kong glanced at Xiangzi, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "You are Sun Wukong?" The county has long planned to issue notices to villages and towns in the name of the government to encourage the public to actively donate money and materials. I believe that it will not be long before the good people of the Quartet will be mobilized. ”

The party ended successfully with everyone's praise.
