Looking at Xiangzi's gobbling up food, Shuzhen knew that he definitely didn't eat seriously at noon.

She scooped up a bowl of porridge, put it in front of Xiangzi, and said with a smile, "Look at how fragrant you eat." ”

Xiangzi was stunned for a moment, raised his head and wiped his mouth, took a sip of wine comfortably, and said with a smile: "Is the food you cooked delicious?" ”

Shuzhen pouted and smiled and said, "Well, it's not like I haven't had a good lunch." ”

Xiangzi, poured half a bowl of porridge in a hurry, and it seemed like he was half-full.

While chewing the beef, he said to himself, "Oh, I've been working all day, just take your mouthful." If you can eat the food you cook every day, you won't cook it for the county magistrate. ”

Shuzhen smiled coquettishly and said, "Come on again, drink your bar." Eating in his mouth, he was still talking about rice. ”

Xiangzi held the wine glass in his hand, and when he saw Shuzhen looking at him stupidly, he smiled strangely and said, "Do you want to taste it?" ”

Shuzhen smiled gently and said, "When I was a child, my father gave me a taste, spicy and fragrant. ”

Xiangzi stretched out his hand and handed over the wine glass, and said with a smile, "Take a sip." ”

Shuzhen hesitated for a moment, but still took the wine glass and took a sip.

She frowned, looked uncomfortable, handed the glass back to Shoko, and said, "It's hotter than the wine I drank when I was a child." ”

After a pause, he frowned slightly, sighed lightly, and said to himself: "It's really a sin for Mu Min to still drink." ”

Xiangzi smiled "hehe" and said, "It's okay, wine is also included in the five precepts of Buddhism." The reason is the same as what * says, saying that alcohol can be disordered, so it is forbidden to eat it.

But the five precepts of Buddhism: killing, stealing, fornication, delusion, and drinking. Among them, alcohol is the opening of the precepts, because of the fear that the above four precepts will be committed after drinking, so it is included in the precepts. If you drink alcohol like water, it will not affect your conduct in the slightest.

It doesn't matter if you drink some wine and go to the cold to relieve your fatigue. To be honest, I shouldn't have been drinking, but I've always developed a habit of grinning. I feel that drinking less alcohol can not only invigorate the blood, but also relieve fatigue. So, it hasn't been broken. ”

Shuzhen smiled thoughtfully and said, "The precepts of Buddhism are so gentle that you can find a reason to drink." ”

After a pause, she said with interest: "Tell me the general idea of Buddhism as well." ”

Xiangzi first paused for a moment, and then smiled with satisfaction: "Oh, seeing that you are very repulsive to foreign teachers, I didn't dare to mention Buddhism again." Now, why are you willing to listen? ”

Shuzhen said a little embarrassed: "People also want to know about it." ”

Xiangzi quickly drank the porridge in the bowl, wiped his mouth, and said, "The first thing to explain is that Buddhism is Buddhist education, not what people call religion. ”

Seeing Shuzhen looking at herself suspiciously, Xiangzi said energetically: "Buddhism does not exclude any religion, but tells people the truth of life in the universe. Buddhism is broad and profound, and as far as my current understanding of it is superficial, I can talk about it for three days and three nights. ”

Seeing his mouthful, Shuzhen smiled coquettishly and said, "Let's pick up the important ones first." ”

Xiangzi smiled at her, deliberately cleared her throat, and said, "The central purpose of Buddhism is to teach people how to find their own nature and get rid of the suffering of the cycle of life and death forever.

The Buddhist scriptures say that people are reincarnated in the six realms in all their lives. The so-called six realms are: the Heavenly Path, the Asura Path, the Humane Path, the Ghost Path, the Animal Path, and the Hell Path.

The Qur'an only says that after death, people will go to heaven or hell, and the Buddha will refine it. Moreover, it is explained in detail that the root of the six realms of reincarnation is the human mind. If a person has a good heart and does good, he will give birth to a good way; Otherwise, evil ways arise. This is much the same as the Islamic term.

Buddhism holds that human beings and Buddhas are the same. It's just that we have been in the six realms of reincarnation for a long time, and we have lost our self-nature, and we have become what we are now. He also said that as long as you follow the method that the Buddha said, you should study seriously. Everyone can regain their original nature and become a Buddha.

Among them, there are many ways to study, which vary from person to person and from era to era. The period of the end of the Dharma refers to the present period. The root nature of sentient beings is stubborn, and they are seriously polluted by the environment. There is only one simple and easy-to-learn method that can allow one to break away from the six realms and be reborn in the Buddha realm. This is the Pure Land recitation of the Dharma.

The Buddhist scriptures say: No matter who you are, as long as you have the three qualities of faith, wish, and action. Eliminate all worries and distractions, and recite the name of Amitabha Buddha with all your heart. At the end of one's life, if you can still maintain your mindfulness, you will be able to pass away smoothly in the Elysian World and become a Buddha without retreating. ”

Shuzhen listened attentively, and when she saw Xiangzi pause, she looked at him with suspicious eyes and said, "Is the Elysium you said better than the heaven that Allah said?" ”

Shoko smiled gently at her and said, "There are many layers in the sky, you know? ”

Shuzhen nodded hurriedly and said, "The Prophet Muhammad said he had been." ”

Shoko went on to say, "Although the Heavenly Dao has a long lifespan, it is still limited. At the end of his life, he still has to fall into the six realms of reincarnation.

And the special beauty of the Western Elysium is far beyond the Heavenly Dao. Elysium is an eternal world. There is no limit to lifespan, and the people there have supernatural powers. Whatever you need, you can get it.

People are carefree, and in addition to listening to scriptures and studying all day long, they are all about turning into sentient beings who are destined for it. There is only happiness and no pain, so it is called Elysium. ”

Shuzhen listened and pondered for a long time. As if he had just woken up from a dream, he smiled and said, "If that's the case, how good it would be." ”

Shoko knows the preconceived notions. Shuzhen has been influenced and educated by Islam since she was a child, and it is difficult for her to easily accept the idea of other religions.

So, he smiled at her and said, "Actually, Islam is also very good." ”

Shuzhen's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Do you think so too?" ”

Xiangzi nodded with a smile and said, "Actually, the purpose of reciting Buddha is to seek a pure mind. Only with a pure mind can you ensure that your mind is not cluttered and you remain mindful at the end of your life.

And the worship of Islam is also a way to achieve a pure heart. No matter what religion or sect, which method is adopted. As long as you have the kung fu of purifying your heart, when you are dying, you can ask for the blessing of the Buddha and wish to be born in the Elysian World, and you can die with just one thought and ten thoughts. ”

Sook-jin stared at Shoko for a moment, as if thoughtfully.

Suddenly, I was very happy and said, "Oh, let me know so much today." In the past, I had only heard of some things about Christianity, and no one had ever spoken of Buddhism. The imam often said that Buddhism is polytheistic, pantheistic, and low-level religion, and we should stay away. ”

Xiangzi smiled at her indifferently and said, "That's the imam who doesn't know Buddhism. In fact, the essence of religion is mostly the same, it is to persuade people to be good, and to point out the direction of future generations with the principle of cause and effect. It is possible to learn from each other. In the future, you can tell me more about Islam so that I can understand it. ”

Sookjin smiled sweetly at him and said, "I must know to the best of my ability." ”

After a pause, he winked playfully at Xiangzi and said, "I must educate you to be a faithful Mumin." ”

Seeing her innocent and cute appearance, Shoko smiled helplessly and shook her head.

These days, Shuzhen has gradually become more and more interested in the topic of Islam. Shoko just listened carefully with interest.

He felt that when Shuzhen explained the teachings of Islam, she had the same inexplicable excitement as when she explained Buddhism. Moreover, his face is glorious and his spirit is flying. It was at this moment that Xiangzi could keep her eyes on Shuzhen without making her feel the slightest shyness.

Tonight, Shuzhen talked about some interesting things about Islam at the wedding, and glanced at Xiangzi affectionately.

Seeing that Xiangzi was also staring at him with hot eyes, his cheeks were slightly hot, he lowered his eyelids, and continued: "I met a Hui woman in Hami, who lost her parents when she was a child, and survived by relying on the generosity of her neighbors.

When he grew up, he was very good with the Han boy who asked for food when he was a child, and finally married him, and had two children. Commander Ga captured Hami, and his man was captured. She also often brought her children to the barracks to see men. During a lecture by an imam, we got to know each other.

When she heard that the Hui people could not marry outsiders, she was anxious. Honestly told the imam about his life and sought a way to save him.

The imam said: The Prophet Muhammad said: 'Indeed, Allah has forgiven my people for the mistakes they have made, either unintentionally or by forgetting or being forced. ’

Allah, the Almighty, says in the Exalted Qur'an: 'They (*women) are not lawful to them.' They (not*) are also unlawful against them (*women). Therefore, with wisdom and patience you have to persuade your men to join the *teachings.

And sincerely believe that Allah is the only Sovereign and you will be legally married. Otherwise, it is illegal and Allah does not approve of it.

The woman, openly and secretly, talked to her husband about the religion. Who knows, his man is particularly disgusted to return. and held a grudge against him for forcibly enrolling him as a soldier. For this reason, the woman fell into deep pain. ”

Shuzhen said, and looked at Xiangzi for a while, seeing that he was thoughtful, but there was no obvious reaction.

He smiled at him and said, "Can the Buddha forgive, but can the people who make mistakes?" ”

Shoko was slightly stunned, as if she had just come back from her contemplation. After taking a sip of tea, he said in a calm voice: "In the eyes of the Buddha, there is no right or wrong.

Yan Fu mentions sentient beings, and when they start thinking, all of them are karma and all are not sins. The Buddha simply spoke the truth about everything in the universe and pointed out what should be done and what should not be done.

What you do will have good results. What you do will have bad consequences. As for how to choose, it all depends on one's own good and evil roots, and self-discipline.

Choose the right one, the Buddha said it was right; If you choose the wrong one, the Buddha also said that you are right. According to what the Buddha said, choosing good karma and abandoning bad karma is a fate with the Buddha. If you practice according to the law all your life, you will become a Buddha in this life;

If you don't believe in what the Buddha said, you still go your own way, and follow the ups and downs of karma. It shows that he has no relationship with the Buddha in this life, and the Buddha will not have half a complaint.

Because, the Buddha does not save people who have no fate. As the saying goes, personal karma, personal creation, personal retribution, and personal taste have nothing to do with others. ”

Shuzhen sighed lightly and said to herself thoughtfully, "In other words, the Buddha does not interfere with and imprison the behavior of the people, but only gives correct guidance. It's up to you to decide where to go. ”

Shoko smiled with relief and said, "That's the difference between education and religion. Education aims to disseminate the right ideas, point out the consequences of the mistakes, and make them their own choices.

The Buddha only taught people the way to correct and make up for their mistakes, that is, to repent from the heart and then not to create again. ”

Sook Zhen said as if she had an understanding: "Well, repentance is similar to Muslim teachings. ”

After a pause, he looked at Xiangzi with a suspicious gaze and said, "Is the Buddha really not going to condemn the people who betrayed him?" ”

Xiangzi smiled indifferently at her and said, "The personal root blessings are different, and the depth of fate with the Buddha is also different. Buddhas only transform sentient beings according to their circumstances, some people should be born, some people will be born and attained, and some people will have to live many lives and many eons before they can achieve it.

Buddhas are treated with equal hearts and shine with the same Buddha light. As for the amount of profit, it is not in the Buddha, but in the individual's root nature and good fortune, and the karma of sins is created by the individual. The Buddha sees that all sentient beings are Buddhas, so how can he condemn sin to sentient beings? ”

Shuzhen nodded thoughtfully, and after being silent for a while, she suddenly raised her head and muttered coquettishly: "Then why don't you dare to betray him?" ”

Xiangzi first slammed it, and then said with a wry smile: "There is no betrayal or betrayal in Buddhism, only belief and unbelief. If you want to say betrayal, it is also your own self-nature.

Just like a person who swims in a river, as long as he chooses the right goal and keeps swimming, he will reach the other side sooner or later; If the goal is not clear and the confidence is not firm, travel east for a while, travel west for a while, and wait until you are exhausted, and you will only drown in the end of the day.

You know, life is too short and the Dharma smells bad. If you encounter a good fortune in this life, you must firmly grasp it and study all your life in order to achieve the Buddha's path. ”

A wisp of shiny things, in Shuzhen's eyes, quickly swept by.

She turned her head, looking relieved, and said with a warm smile, "I understand, I understand." ”

looked at Shuzhen, as if she had made a difficult and painful choice.

In Xiangzi's heart, an inexplicable pain suddenly rose.
