In the nineteenth year of Emperor Guangtong, winter, the mountain behind Lianyin Temple.

As far as the mountain itself is concerned, Lingtai Mountain is not outstanding enough to be called a 'famous mountain', from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain is only a few miles of mountain road, and there is no steep and majestic scenery, so that it can become a famous mountain, the reason why it is favored by Zen monks, in addition to repairing bamboo four cloths, pine waves are continuous, mainly it is a clear stream that is more than ten steps wide, winding down from the top of the mountain.

Overlooking the mountains around the blue belt, the stream that is praised as 'can cleanse the heart' is called 'Flying Star', and also made 'Samsung', because the source of its top is a vertical waterfall, looking far away if the sky is hanging silver, there are splashing stars in the near view, so it gets the name of 'Flying Star', as for the 'Samsung' Yunyun, but it is later 'Peishang Liu Family' ruled the world, there was a famous general 'General Fei' across the border, meritorious service is not calculated, but because of the evil Yuan Rong Quanchen, it was made by people, and the army was alone, and finally lost the opportunity to be convicted, not angry to suffer the humiliation of prison, and refused to vote for the betrayal of the country, So he led the knife to kill himself, and the blood was splashed in the desert, which was a famous hate in the history of Great Xia.

Later, the minister of power traveled south to Lingtai Mountain to worship the Buddha, and the local prefect at that time was very good at telling and secretly guessing his intentions, so he made the people have different names, and they could not be called 'flying', and there were also Chinese scholars who said that they could be called 'three stars', and took the 'three treasures of the Buddha', which was also in line with the righteousness of 'three talents and heaven and earth', and the prefect did what he said and did, and the minister was really very happy, and the handwritten 'three-star famous stream' was in mind, but on the day of mountaineering, the scribe actually came out of the crowd, rebuked the rights of the ministers, and laughed at the 'three', 'dry', dry and high mountains with water, and the sky 'flying' Coming and going, although there were many people and horses on the side, they were all taken by his arrogance, and they didn't dare to stop him, and watched him go.

The history is long, how many heroes are hateful, depressed between black and purple, and cannot stretch out?

But there is also an old saying, thousands of years of inheritance, eternal and eternal, often for the hearts of the people, always stationed in the chest of heroes.

There is a way: justice is in the hearts of the people!

Eternal division of soil, in the end, the old traitor.

Sanxingxi goes down the mountain, accumulates into a big lake at the foot of the mountain, because if the outer circle is straight and the inside is straight, and because the stream has a famous "star", so it is called "oblique moon", from the mountain to view it, just like the moon of the eclipse half, the first temple of "Zen Buddhism" among the eight sects of Buddhism, "Lianyin Temple" is located here, the whole temple leans on the mountain, the front is big and the back is small, and the oblique moon lake just constitutes the shape of perfection, so there have been lay people praise and say: "... It is a clear way of heaven, and the purpose of the Dharma can be seen in it. ‘

From the back door of Lianyin Temple, climb the stairs, about one hundred and eight stone steps, there is a flat and wide ground, surrounded by mountain walls, forming a space that can accommodate thousands of people and do not feel crowded.

At the end of the clearing, on the tall and steep mountain wall, there was a semicircular cave, the entrance of which was very small, barely a man high, and in the bright sunlight, the entrance of the cave looked so black that it was impossible to see anything.

At this moment, the open space outside the cave was full of people.

In total, nearly 1,000 monks were silently standing in front of the cave, waiting quietly.

Among the monks, not only Zen Buddhism, but also famous monks from the other seven sects: although there is no leader of the monks at the highest point of each sect, when Huiyuan and monk Xiu in the 'Six Virtues of Huayan Sect' are also present, when the east gate of Kuma Temple and the north gate of Dagwedagon Temple Naruo of the 'Tantric Virtuous Gate' also came, and when Zhixu and Pure Knowledge, who are only below the 'Three Masters of the Pure Land' in the Pure Land Sect, are also present, the high standard of this Sangha meeting is unusually conceivable.

They're waiting for someone.

Since returning to the mountain three years ago, Shi Futu sat in meditation in this cave, only took a cup of clear spring every day, a few grains of millet grains, and did not seek other things, closed his eyes all day long and sat on the bottom of the cave before the mountain wall, muttered and chanted, and did not move his body slightly, in three years, no one had seen his face, only to look at a solemn and noble, so that people dare to face the back.

In the history of Buddhism, sitting meditation has always had its important position, famous monks are all for it, in the past, Zen Buddhism had a great virtue from outside the territory, after teaching the apprentices to disperse skills, both sitting in the ancient cave, a fall that is ten years old, even to the projection into the stone, if the shape of the ancient Buddha, known as the 'Buddha shadow stone', is the famous treasure of Buddhism. Although the Buddha map can not be compared with it, but a thousand days of dry Zen can not afford, it has been nearly 70 years of no longer heard of things, he was originally a famous Buddhist monk, and because of the Donglin will be a prestige and prestige, and then over the years the decline of Buddhism has not decreased, there are Taoists attacking the city and plundering the land, believers are open, there is a Taoist macro to lead the white lotus, open the altar to teach the public, the so-called national disaster to think of the good generals, the Buddha Buddha has naturally become the hope of many Buddhist elders, and there are heroes in troubled times, when many Buddhist disciples are disappointed in their respective teachers, The unique Shi Futu will inevitably become the object of admiration of these young disciples.

Therefore, sitting in meditation for three years, the reputation of the Buddha Buddha is still rising, outside the stone cave, the monks from all over the world who come to worship have never been extinct, three years ago he was only a famous Zen monk, but now he has almost surpassed the prestige of the entire Zen Buddhism, and has gradually become the common hope of the eight sects of Buddhism.

At this moment, when it was known that the date of the 'exit' had been set, although there was no one to organize it, thousands of monks came from all over the country, hoping to witness the moment he stepped out of the cave and hear his first words after being speechless for a thousand days.

The open space in front of the cave is not small, but it has been impassable, and behind these people, in the mountain path and even under the mountain, there are thousands of monks who are still shallow in cultivation waiting silently.

The earliest of them had been waiting here for more than ten days.

… Before you know it, it's past noon.

A group of monks gathered, after all, it is not better than the market well, although there are thousands of people, although it has been a day, but there is still no noise at all, thousands of people have a look, all close their eyes and join the Buddha, silently worship the Buddha, there are also people who chant Buddha, that are all Hinayana monks.

Among the nearly 1,000 monks, the first to open their eyes and look at the entrance of the cave were only Huiyuan, Dongmen Baoshan, Zhixu and other Liao Liao people, and only with their decades of practice of Buddhism can they perceive the imminent change in the silence.

Immediately after, many monks who had already cultivated the Dharma at level 6 or above also opened their eyes and looked at the entrance of the cave, with a look of surprise and joy on their faces.

What makes them open their eyes is not sounds, not movements, but a pure feeling, a feeling, 'something is coming,' a feeling that these eminent monks also experience when they visit the Buddha, or when they meditate silently.

Everything is still quiet, but in the hearts of these monks who have already cultivated to a certain extent, there is a loud sound like the yellow bell Da Lu is echoing, like a groundbreaking bell, reminding them to be careful and respectful.

(A thousand days of meditation, where has his cultivation gone...) ）

Greed, hatred, love, and obsession are not what Buddhism says, but at this moment, the same question is extremely strong in the heart of every monk who can hear the footsteps, persistently pursuing the answer.

The footsteps were long, and there began to be a sound that ordinary people could hear, and, not only that, but all kinds of wonderful changes began to appear.

It was the middle of winter, and the surrounding cliff tops were white, and although there was no snow on the ground, they were all gray and dark, and there was no grass, only a cold chill.

It was a normal sight in the depths of winter, but as the footsteps began to be heard, it seemed as if something was struggling to prove its existence.

First of all, the ground, trembling, as if something hard began to soften, as if something dry began to wet, as if something stiff began to crack, slowly, between the cracks of the stone appeared visible to the naked eye, it was the kind of oily, full of vitality of the black water, and soon, in this black began to have a tiny green emerging, a star, a little, struggling, trying, they began to emerge from the cold gray, so that the ground showed a different color, and then, these green began to spread rapidly, More complex colors and shapes began to appear in the patches, not only on the ground, but also on the surrounding mountain walls.

By this time, all the monks had opened their eyes and noticed the changes around them, but none of them made a sound, just opened their eyes in astonishment, looking at everything around them.

…

It didn't take long for the cold and dead silence of the place to be covered with green grass, full of flowers, purple and red, and the surrounding mountain walls were covered with various climbing plants, decorated with green leaves or small flowers.

(Dharma is boundless...) ）

Almost trembling, even the most senior monks couldn't help but have the urge to bow down and worship, and this impulse continued to accumulate and increase, until the gray and simple monk's robe appeared at the entrance of the cave, when the pair of eyes that seemed to be the same as three years ago, but obviously had more clarity and clarity swept over everyone's faces, this impulse finally reached the point where they could not control themselves, so that these monks who usually only worship the Buddha or the Buddha bow down at the same time:

"Please say the Great Monk."

Thousands of people spoke in unison, the voice was full of obedience, thousands of people bowed their heads, bowed all their pride, and at that moment, a bitter and strange smile suddenly appeared on Shi Futu's face, but because all the monks bowed their heads, no one saw it.

Facing the many monks standing in the grass crowd in front of him, Shi Futu shook his head lightly, slowly raised his left hand, and said loudly: "Buddha crosses all sentient beings, only compassion and ears!" ”

Buddha crosses sentient beings, only compassion and ears!

Soon, this sentence has been spread all over the world's Buddhism, and at the same time, it has also been propagated to the people of the world, and the Confucianism, Taoism and even the intelligence systems of each family have also sorted out and reported this news to their respective principals as quickly as possible.

But there was calm on the mountain.

After saying the only sentence, Shi Futu was silent, and the whole person seemed to have dissolved into heaven and earth, silently, everyone seemed to hear a low voice in their hearts:

It's time to go back...

Seeing that the monks were about to disperse, Shi Futu's gaze suddenly rose into the air.

(Hey, who is this?) ）

It was a little slower than Shi Futu's reaction, but when the clouds in the sky began to spiral and form, many of the monks below began to notice the slightest strangeness.

Soon, the rain began to fall from the clouds.

Lily, peony, peach, plum, chrysanthemum, plum... All the flowers of the four seasons fall like rain, and there are still crystal dewdrops on them, which makes the delicate beauty of the petals even more beautiful.

"Tianyuhua, it turned out to be Tianyuhua!"

In the excitement, finally a monk couldn't bear it anymore and blurted out like this.

It is rumored that the supreme realm of the monk's lecture is "the stone nods, the rain flowers", and there are also related famous deeds on the most famous Buddhist lands in the Great Xia Kingdom, but in the final analysis, the legend is just a legend, even if these famous monks, no one has really witnessed such a thing.

The petals fell one after another, making the emotions of the monks more and more excited, but in the eyes of Shi Futu, who had been silent like dead wood, he could only exchange a little bitter smile in his heart.

… Moreover, in the midst of thousands of flowers, he can still see clearly and know that among the flowers at four o'clock, there are still problems missing in the rain of flowers in front of him.

(Is there no Atholinka (White Lotus)?) So, in the end, it's still like this... ）

Raising his head slightly, he squinted at the sky, where the petals of the flowers were falling from the seven-colored clouds.

With his hands still in front of his chest, Shi Futu suddenly said to the sky: "The Buddha said that all the Dharma is the same view!" ”

A Buddha trumpet, like a spring thunderstorm, can bring out a huge whirlwind, roaring upward, dispersing the colorful clouds, so that the monks can see the sky... And something that is hovering in the sky.

Two huge bamboo kites, each with a person on them, are whirling and flying in the sky, and the big canopy of flowers is constantly being splashed down from above, without any superfluous explanation, everyone can immediately understand what is going on with the flower rain just now.

"Who dares to laugh at us like that?!"

After the excitement, there was the consciousness of "being teased", which made the monks even more angry, but after all, they were people in Buddhism, and there was no scene of shooting at the air.

And, with the clear laughter, the two bamboo kites also suddenly disintegrated, the people who were originally attached to the bamboo kite threw the remaining flowers in one go, stepped on the disintegrated fragments, turned around several times to borrow strength, has carried a day of flower rain, floating to the ground, towards the release of the floating picture bow.

Finally saw the description of the two clearly, all the monks were moved, they were only thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys, all dressed as little novices, with delicate expressions, no matter how you look at it, you can't see that the two of them have such a bold body, dare to only use a bamboo kite to scatter flowers like this.

And, when the two of them spoke together, an even greater confusion ensued.

"The disciples of the Pure Land Sect are ten directions (hundred paths), see Shibo."

When Shi Futu asked the two of them to stand up with a very complicated gaze, almost all eyes were on Zhi Xu: he was the highest among the Pure Land monks present, but it was obvious that the two novices did not seem to have any intention of giving him any special respect, and they didn't even bother to pay attention to whether there was a Pure Land Sect master at the scene.

(Daohong, this evil animal!) ）

Hate and scold in his heart, and don't care if he is a "stoma sin", Zhixu also understands that he can't do more, just like now: even if he is dissatisfied with the two of them admitting their identity as "under the Pure Land Gate", he can't and dare not stand up and punish the two of them.

"It turned out to be you."

Smiling and stretching out his hand, he gave the blessing gesture of the people in the Buddhist sect to the younger generations, Shi Futu smiled: "How is Daohong?" ”

Hearing this question, the monks below were even more embarrassed, but no one dared to speak out, just secretly exchanged glances. The two of them kowtowed, and Fang You Shifang said: "Go back to the uncle, the uncle is very good, he knows that the uncle is out of the customs today, he is also very happy, but he can't come today, so let's come to visit the uncle..." At the same time, Baidao also took out a small bottle, put it on the ground together, and said, "Please smile." ”

Shi Futu nodded slightly, and raised his hand—the bottle and box had already flown into his hand, and he opened it gently, and saw that the box was a black and mushy substance, still with a slight frankincense, and in the bottle was some sticky amber liquid, which seemed to have some taste of wine, but it was only nothing.

At this time, all the monks paid attention, but the monks in the back row couldn't see what it was at all, only dozens of people in the front row could see it, but they couldn't figure it out, and they didn't know what the preciousness of these two things was.

Shi Futu was familiar with the two things for a while, and suddenly felt something, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the two of them were looking at him with blazing eyes, and there was a look of anticipation on their faces, and dozens of squares were sheng, and he saw that the faces of the monks were full of doubts, and he smiled unconsciously, and said: "I have bothered my senior brother Daohong." ”

As soon as he raised his head, he poured the powder in the box into his mouth, and then drained the liquid in the bottle, and suddenly said: "All the methods,"

"That's what I smell!"

The monks were in turmoil for a while, and then they knew that he had finally decided to preach the scriptures, and they all solemnly bowed, and said, "Please ask the great monk to explain the law." ”

I listened to Shi Futu and said slowly: "In the past, there was a prince in the great city of the king's house, whose name was Ajashi..."

The so-called "Sutra of Amitayus" says that in the past, there was a big city called Wangsha Dacheng, and the prince was claustrophobic and claustrophobic, and all the ministers were not allowed to go, so the queen of the country smeared his body with crisp honey and wheat flour, and put it into the wine syrup with tassels, which was to eat his king, and to pay homage to the spiritual mountain, a little piety, please move Shakyamuni and Mulian Ananda and Guanyin to descend in the Bodhisattvas, in order to talk about all kinds of visualization of the Pure Land of Mida and the method of reincarnation of the Buddha.

To know the Buddhist classics, no worries, each sect has its own roots, such as Zen Buddhism that follows the "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra" as the canon, Huayan Sect is to "Myoho-renge-kyo Sutra" as the respect, this "Amitayus Sutra" is one of the Pure Land classics, specializing in the "Sixteen Views of Thought", and the purpose of Zen is quite inconsistent, Shi Futu sat in meditation for three years, as soon as he came out of the customs to preach the Pure Land Sutra, naturally out of the monks' expectations.

"The Sutra of Amitayus Sutra" is not very long, and all the monks are familiar with it, and the Buddha Buddha has finished speaking in a short time, silently merging: I have seen that the ten directions and hundreds of ways have the color of reverence, especially the ten directions, and there is no slightest hint of negligence.

At this time, the sky has been dark, and the sun wheel is embedded in the place where the western heaven and earth meet, and the red fluttering is also spiritual.

Zhixu suddenly realized, took a step forward, and lost his voice: "These two things... Could it be the rest of the royal palace in the big city of the year?! ”

As soon as the words "Wangshe Dacheng" came out, all the monks were moved, and there were even those who exclaimed, but some were still ignorant. Shifang glanced at him, and said lazily: "Master's Buddhism is really quiet." ”

He also said: "This is from the foot of the body poison Jajabori Mountain, it is exactly the time when a total of 500 maids after Wittich were caught and forbearable, and when they sent out the three bodhicittas of Anuttara, they were obtained by the poisonous bhikshunis. ”

He praised Zhixu in his mouth, but his attitude was really lazy, and he immediately made Zhixu angry: but he also knew that he couldn't make a mistake at this time, so he snorted sullenly, and didn't open his mouth again.

Shi Futu said: "Buddha is hard to find, Daohong has worked hard. ”

And he said, "How has he been?" ”

Shifang looked at Baidao and said loudly: "Uncle Hui, Uncle Daohong has been preaching the Fa and preaching the scriptures recently, and he is doing well. After a pause, he said, "He recently built a large temple called Tianyin. is scheduled to open next month, and I want to ask my uncle to go. ”

When this sentence was spoken, there was an immediate chaos below, and a few monks had already scolded regardless of their identities, but Shifang ignored them all, their eyes were shining, and they just looked at Shi Futu.

Then he heard Shi Futu chuckle and said, "That's very good." ”

"At this time next month, I will participate in this Buddha event."
