Under the willow tree outside the door, there were two monks wearing yellow robes, one tall and one short, both of them were kind-looking. ”

After Lu Xingyan returned the salute: "Two monks, where did they come from?"

The tall monk reported to his family: "We are from Puji Temple in Jiuhua Mountain. ”

Short monk: "We travel to the five mountains and travel all over the world." Recently, I came to Lingnan. ”

Lu Xingyao turned to the side of his body and stretched out his left hand to point to the grass house: "Before dawn, the two monks will definitely trek long way last night, hard work, please go into the cold house to rest." ”

The tall monk waved his hand: "We are not here to ask for fasting, but to tell each other." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Last night, we stayed in Yuncheng, more than ten miles away, and we were already asleep. For some reason, we both suddenly felt our hearts surge, and it was surging more and more. We got up quickly. ”

Lu Xingyao: "Why?"

Short Monk: "With years of self-feeling. Whenever this feeling arises, something extraordinary must happen. ”

"Yes, we went to the window to look at the sky, and saw a red light rushing to the sky here, and there were thousands of colors, which was an auspicious omen. Soon I smelled the strange aroma of the night wind. We followed the fragrance and traced, and saw that although your house was only a thatched hut, it was shining inside, and it was estimated that your family gave birth to a noble son. "The tall monk is holding the Buddha beads.

Lu Xingyu was taken aback: "Ah, ten miles away, how do you know that my family gave birth to Lin'er?" Could it be that the two masters are clairvoyants and ears to the wind?"

"We are not clairvoyants, nor are we ears, we are just monks in the world." The short monk smiled slightly, "Donor, when your child was born, it was rare for such a miraculous vision." ”

Lu Xingyu felt and said: "Master said that it is rare, and the fetus conceived by my lady is also rare. ”

The two monks asked in unison, "What's so rare about it?"

Lu Xingyao: "All the women in the world are pregnant in October and give birth in one day; My wife's baby was six years pregnant. ”

"Six? Okay!" The tall monk couldn't help but exclaim, "In our Buddhism, there are six paramitas, also known as the 'six perfections', namely precepts, concentration, wisdom, generosity, forbearance, and diligence. ”

Short monk: "Any sentient being has six realms of reincarnation. Your son has been in your wife's womb for six years, and he has already tasted all kinds of sufferings and tribulations in the world, all kinds of tastes, and has washed the marrow and changed the muscles in advance in the samsara. ”

Lu Xingyao: "In this way, it's really a bit of a coincidence. ”

The tall monk clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Sixty-six is infinite, this is a good sign!"

Short monk: "I think this is a sign of providence." ”

Lu Xingyan asked, "What kind of sign of providence is this?"

The tall monk said loudly: "In the future, when your son grows up, he will definitely not be an ordinary person." ”

Lu Xingyan was puzzled: "We live in this desolate mountain, how can my son become an extraordinary person?"

The tall monk: "Haven't you heard that the phoenix comes out of the deep mountains and the dragon is hidden in the deep pool?" Which of the great men in the world has an extraordinary background?"

The short monk grinned and said, "Six...... Six...... I think he may still be our sixth generation ancestor. ”

Lu Xingyu was even more puzzled: "You are a monk, and I, Lu someone, am just an ordinary man in the world, who has no money to hire a famous teacher, and no superior person to support him, how can my son become your sixth generation ancestor?" Don't kid me. ”

"There is no joke inside the Buddha Gate," the short monk asked rhetorically, "the reincarnation of the empty gate and the mortal dust, like the reincarnation of life and death, is actually just an instantaneous transformation." The world is impermanent, like the wind and clouds in the sky, which must change in a moment, and the fantasy is inexplicable. Your son has just fallen to the ground, and there is still such a long and distant road to go in life, how can you judge that he will always be a mortal?"

Lu Xingyu stammered: "This ......"

The short monk looked serious: "Therefore, we have come here today to send your son's name." ”

"Then thank you so much to the two masters," Lu Xingyu was embarrassed to refute them again when he saw that they had spoken so accurately, and asked, "What name does the senior monk want to bestow?"

The two monks said in unison, "Let's call it Huineng!"

"Huineng?" Lu Xingyan felt that this name was a bit strange, and couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and asked: "There are thousands of names in the world, why do you want to give this name?" Besides—"

"And what?"

"Besides, the name is a bit like that of a Buddhist family."

The tall monk said solemnly: "Your son was originally a member of my Buddhism, and the root of 'wisdom' is one of the five roots of Buddhism. In addition, the words 'Hui' and 'Hui' are interconnected, and 'Hui' means to benefit all people. Giving to sentient beings with 'Dharma' and 'benefiting sentient beings' is one of the six perfections of giving, and giving to sentient beings with 'Dharma wisdom' is one of the six perfections. The word 'can' means that he will be able to open the door to the Dharma in the future and purify all sentient beings. ”

Lu Xingyao was puzzled: "My son is still in infancy, how can he have such a great future?"

The short monk said loudly: "As long as you educate him well, he will definitely stand out in the future, and he will surely achieve positive results, standing on the towering Buddha altar, becoming famous, and the Dharma lineage is long, so that the world praises him." ”

Seeing that the monk said this, Lu Xingyu knew that it would be futile to ask any further, so he nodded: "Thanks to the master's guidance, I will be able to do things according to my instructions." A short monk said solemnly: "I hope the donor will not take our words as a joke." ”

"Definitely, definitely," Lu Xingyu nodded again and again, and pointed his hand into the house, "Ah, the two masters worked hard last night, and now they have come to my house, and they have been standing in front of the door hard, so let's go into the house and drink a bowl of hot tea first." ”

The tall monk was about to step over the threshold, but suddenly he thought of something, and hurriedly retracted his feet and shook his head: "His Holiness is sleeping soundly now, and it would be rude if we went in and disturbed him." ”

The short monk's face showed awe: "Yes, how dare we commit it recklessly!"

Seeing that they were speaking strangely, Lu Xingyu asked in confusion, "What are you talking about?"

Tall monk: "Your son is not only the generation of dragon elephants, but also the king of dragon elephants!"

Lu Xingyao was even more inexplicable, blinking his eyes: "What are you talking about, why do I get more confused the more I listen?" I hope the master will give me some advice. ”

The two monks waved their hands at the same time and replied, "This is a heavenly secret that cannot be revealed." ”

Lu Xingyu knew that it was difficult to force them, and said, "Since you refuse to go into the house to rest, then wait for me to go in and get some alms for you." ”

"No, we'll leave it at that." The two monks clasped their hands together, made a salute, and did not even take half a step in the chaimen, that is, they turned around in unison, their steps were like flying, light as a wanderer, and in the blink of an eye, two yellow figures disappeared into the green trees on the other side of the hillside......

Lu Xingyu was very strange: "Could it be that God intended to send a master to me for me?"

He returned to his room and told his wife, who was surprised.

They named the baby "Huineng".
