Chapter 24 Worship the Buddha for Medicine
PS: During the new book period, ask for recommendations, ask for collections, ask for clicks, ask for rewards, ask for likes, ask for lists, ask for them.
Early in the morning of the second day, Han Yi and Xiao Yun said that they would go out to make money, and then went out with Han Dashan's broken hat.
When they came to the entrance of the village, Ono was already waiting there, and the two of them went to Tianji Temple together.
Tianji Temple is located in the east of Yangzhou City on a half-mountainside, this mountain face is not small, but not high, the mountain road is very wide, such as walking on the ground, it is a good place. Because the temple is related to the gods and Buddhas after all, it is built on the mountain, which can add momentum, but if it is built on the peak of the high mountains, the ghost will go, burn incense, and flash the waist, which is too unreasonable.
However, Tianji Temple is about twenty or thirty kilometers away from Plum Village, and it is not close to the era of walking the world on two legs, Han Yi and Ono walked for more than an hour to come to this Tianji Temple. This place is neither a traffic artery, nor a place to play, it stands to reason that the flow of people should not be very much, but it is a crowd of people, an endless stream, which does not need to be thought to know that it is the popularity brought by Tianji Temple.
Han Yi and Ono came directly to the temple, only to see the very magnificent red pillar gate, which was like a city, and there was an endless stream of people coming in and out, in fact, just from this gate, I knew that the temple was very prosperous.
Han Yi lowered the brim of his hat slightly, stepped forward, and there was a little novice in gray monk's robe standing in front of the door, as soon as he saw Han Yi and Ono coming, he immediately folded his hands and asked, "May I ask the two donors, do you burn incense or ask for medicine?" ”
This is a bit of a doorway, of course you go to the temple to burn incense, ask for medicine and go to the hospital. Han Yi asked rhetorically, "How about burning incense?" What about seeking medicine? ”
Xiao Shami said: "If the donor is here to burn incense, you can go directly to the front temple to burn incense, if the donor is here to ask for medicine, you can go to the backyard to worship the Bodhisattva for medicine." ”
It turns out that the fame of Tianji Temple is gradually fame, and many people are admiring it, based on the law that there is a need for supply, it is very necessary to send a small novice to lead the way here.
"Worship the Bodhisattva for medicine?"
Han Yi smiled: "Do you have to ask for medicine to go to the backyard?" ”
Xiao Shami shook his head and said: "Buddha Yun, all living beings are equal, how can there be those cumbersome rules in this Buddhist land, our abbot said, as long as the donor comes here with a sincere heart, whether he goes or stays, whether he sits or walks." ”
"It's kind of interesting."
Han Yi smiled, thanked him again, and then walked in with Ono.
Come to the temple, the scale of this Tianji Temple is not small, there is a big hall in front, there are wings on the left and right, there is a stone path leading to the backyard on the left, I see that there are crowds of people everywhere, almost all kinds of people have, there are ignorant women, there are scholars who are full of poetry and books, there are girls with light veils and masks, there are successful people dressed in gorgeous clothes, and there are some strong men who walk the rivers and lakes, it can be described as lively and extraordinary.
If this is a bureau, with this flow of people, anyone who doesn't cheat a hundred and eighty times a day is embarrassed to go out!
Han Yi muttered to himself, first came to the front of the main hall of the front temple with Ono, and saw a plaque hanging in front of the hall door, which read "Jishi Palace" with four vermilion characters, which was very magnificent.
And on the left and right sides of the steps on each side of the place a diameter of one meter of the big tripod, the two big tripods are filled with large and small incense candles, as if even a branch of incense can not be inserted, the green smoke straight up, this is why the big tripod is placed outside, if placed in the hall, this amount of smoke, must not smoke people out of tuberculosis.
But it can also be seen how prosperous the incense here is.
Entering the hall, I saw that the inside is very spacious, a Buddha statue in the center, four Bodhisattva statues on both sides, from the perspective of business, this Buddha statue is the same as the counter in the shopping mall, more or less is based on the guests, if you have a lot of traffic, but you are a counter, that people have to queue up to buy things, which not only delays the time of the guests, but also delays the time for the business to make money.
There are a total of nine bronze statues here, and each bronze statue has six yellow mats in front of the door, which is equivalent to 54 people worshipping at a time.
At this time, the fifty-four foreshadows were full of kneeling people, and there were many people standing by the bronze statue with incense and nodding constantly, still muttering something in their mouths.
Could it be that the most profitable business in the world today is to open a temple?
Han Yi was really frightened by this flow of people, and this one had to burn a lot of incense sticks until late.
The two of them turned around inside, and the basic process was clear, simply put, it was now to buy incense and candles in a small room on the left side of the main hall, and then come to the main hall to worship, and finally insert the incense candles into the big ding outside.
It is no different from ordinary temples.
However, this is also expected by Han Yi, it is normal to enter the temple to burn incense, and it is difficult to do anything from it, it is difficult for you to burn flowers with this incense.
But it would be very strange to enter the temple to ask for medicine.
It is believed that this is also the characteristic of Tianji Temple.
So the mystery must still be in the backyard.
So Han Yi took Ono to the backyard again, as the little novice in front of the door said, you can go or stay, you can sit and work, although many monks walked by, but except for the Buddhist ceremony, there was no communication with them.
But this front temple is a little far from the backyard, and you have to walk a half-pillar incense kung fu, it can be seen that this Tianji Temple is really not small, the entrance of the backyard is a fan-shaped stone gate, standing in front of the door two small novices, and there is a wooden board, which says--- It is strictly forbidden to make noise.
Han Yi and Ono walked in in a grand manner, and the two little novices who guarded the door performed a Buddhist salute without saying a word.
Entering this door, I only felt that my vision was wide open, and in front of me was an open space the size of a football field, but at this time, the open space was full of people, densely packed, all of them sat cross-legged on the ground, most of them did not even have a cushion, and the few people also brought their own, and some of them just made a cloth cushion and closed their eyes to meditate.
What are they doing?
Han Yi and Xiao Ye's eyes flashed with confusion, and they looked in the direction that everyone was facing, only to see that on the steps, there was a middle-aged monk sitting cross-legged, wearing a golden and red robe, with a wisp of beard, also with his eyes closed, and a string of Buddhas in his right hand, constantly moving the Buddha, looking like him.
Han Yi knew that this guy was the abbot master with the law name Nine Lights.
And next to this monk, there is the only bronze statue of Guanyin, about one meter high, the left hand is placed on the abdomen, the palm is obliquely facing up, the right hand is raised over the shoulder, the middle finger and thumb are slightly closed, this shape Han Yi is quite familiar, but this bronze statue is small compared to the bronze statue in the front hall, and it is not a heavyweight class at all.
Why are so many people worshipping here, and this bronze statue is so small?
This is inevitably curious.
Han Yi felt that standing was too conspicuous, because everyone was sitting cross-legged, so he pulled Ono to sit in the back, of course, his eyes were still open.
After a while, I saw a woman get up and come forward, she knelt down on the ground under the steps, bowed a bow, each step up, and bowed again, there were six steps, a total of six bows, and when she came to the top of the steps, a monk next to the abbot of the nine lamps came over, handed over three lit incense, the woman took the incense, bowed in front of the bronze statue of Guanyin, and handed back the three sticks of incense to the monk, and then folded her hands and bowed down with a sincere heart.
After the monk took the incense, he inserted it into the copper tripod on the side, and then a monk came out of the room, this monk was holding a wooden tray, Han Yi couldn't see what was inside because he was sitting far away, but there were faintly visible round things, which should be pills or something.
Is this the miracle medicine?
Han Yi muttered to himself, and saw the monk hand the tray to the woman, and after the woman took it, she held the tray high in front of the bronze statue.
What do you mean?
Han Yi didn't understand it.
After half a bang, there was still no movement.
The abbot suddenly opened his eyes, sighed, and said in a sad tone: "It seems that the donor is still not enough Buddha!" ”
When the woman heard this, her face was full of disappointment.
Many people below also showed regret and shook their heads.
But the woman did not make any noise, handed the tray back to the monk, bowed first to the Bodhisattva, then to the abbot, bowed down the steps, and left the backyard.
Because nothing happened, Han Yi didn't see a reason so far, so she could only continue to wait patiently.
Soon, the second person went up, a young man the same age as Han Yi, who also knelt down and went up the stairs, exactly like the woman in front, and finally faced the bronze statue and held the tray high.
Suddenly, I saw a tiny shadow in the tray flying towards the bronze statue, and it flew between the middle finger and thumb of the Bodhisattva's raised right hand, it turned out that the middle finger and thumb of the bronze statue's right hand were not completely pinched, and there was still a gap in the middle, which looked like the Bodhisattva used mana to take the pills in the tray through the air.
There was an uproar in the silent courtyard, and everyone knelt down.
I saw the abbot clasp his hands together and bend slightly to the young man: "Amitabha! Congratulations to the donor and the Bodhisattva. ”
The young man seemed to be extremely excited, bowing to the Bodhisattva again, and bowing back to the abbot, and muttering straight in his mouth: "Thank you Bodhisattva, thank you Abbot!" ”
Han Yi, who was sitting in the back, was stunned for a while, and suddenly popped, but immediately covered his mouth with one hand, and said secretly, just this little trick, are you embarrassed to take it out? Exercise! If labor and management were ordained, wouldn't they be able to kill all sides? It seems that during the Tang Dynasty, our industry still belonged to the sunrise industry.
But he was not in a hurry to leave, and saw a monk come over with a small medicine bag and hand it to the young man.
Yes? Isn't that tray a miracle medicine in it?
Han Yi frowned slightly.
The young man respectfully came with a cloth bag, thanked him again and again, and then went down the steps.
Why didn't you pay? Could it be that I paid it in advance, but if this is the case, then the woman just now didn't give the money and didn't take the medicine yet, which is too cheating.
Regarding this, Han Yi didn't understand, he turned his head and saw Ono with clear eyes open, looking at the bronze statue stupidly with his mouth open, and he just wanted people to pinch his cheeks, Han Yi reached out and gently squeezed Ono.
Ono was slightly stunned, turned his head, and looked at Han Yi blankly.
Isn't it, is Ono also evil? Gotta get him out of here. Han Yi pointed out the door with a finger, and then the two got up and quietly left the place.
