Chapter 71: Cultivation
In fact, when the earliest Fanyin Temple was established, there were a total of thirteen monks here, and according to the rules, each of them would receive a special disciple to pass on the thirteen different Dharmas, and the thirteen relics were the core of these thirteen Dharmas.
Thirteen eminent monks will receive thirteen disciples to maintain the competitiveness among the various lineages, and the best of them will be elected abbots.
Later, due to historical reasons, there were some changes in the transmission of the Buddhism of the Sanskrit monks, and several of the lineages of Buddhism were gradually lost, and now there are only seven left.
Due to the defection of the ghost flower, the next Sanskrit monk is likely to be left with only six, and the thirteen veins of supreme Buddhism are lost little by little, which is also the greatest sorrow of the Fanyin Temple.
In the next few days, Cao Xiaoyang followed the monks in the temple to chant scriptures every day, practice martial arts, and participate in Zen, although he was born in the city, he was not used to such a poor life, but he also felt that this was much better than the previous upheaval, and the most important thing was that there was one of the biggest advantages in this Fanyin Temple, that is, safety, even if there were many people in the witch king, he did not dare to directly attack this Fanyin Temple.
Since Master Bohua's previous injuries have not yet healed, although he is obviously in charge of the affairs of the temple during this time, in fact, several disciples are in charge of the daily chanting and practice, and the leader of them is the Kuzen monk who was comparable to Chijiang that night.
This person is really single-minded about Buddhism, he is not only strict with himself, but also with other brothers and sisters, Cao Xiaoyang just entered the temple, there are many things that he doesn't understand, and he often makes mistakes in the process of life and practice, so he suffers a lot.
"Stop, the meal is over, and the people who still have leftovers in the bowl clean up the dishes and chopsticks and wash the dishes!"
Cao Xiaoyang stirred the leftovers and green vegetable leaves in the bowl, slapped the table and stood up.
"Damn, if there is any mistake, it's me again!"
The Kuzen monk slowly walked in front of Cao Xiaoyang, looked at the leftovers in Cao Xiaoyang's bowl, and said, "The rules of the temple, the last person to eat washes the dishes, do you have any opinions?"
Cao Xiaoyang came to the temple for a week, and he happened to have been washing the dishes for seven days.
"Lao Tzu has a big opinion, this is a temple, not a pigsty, what's the use of eating a meal so quickly......"
"What did you say?"
At this time, the Lingchan monk next to him hurriedly pulled Cao Xiaoyang to the side. "Xiao Yang, don't talk back to Senior Brother
......”
