Chapter 395: Yuanjue Temple (3)
(a)
When I got up early in the morning, and when I had freshened up and dressed, I came to see you at your house.
Guan Wenliang knelt down in front of the porch to welcome my arrival.
I asked Guan Wenliang: "Is the general still asleep?" ”
Guan Wenliang replied, "Yes." ”
I felt a pang of sadness in my heart. I said, "Was last night bad?" ”
Guan Wenliang replied: "It's fine when you fall asleep, but it's not so good after midnight." The archmage personally brought the medicinal wine over in the early morning, and after taking it, he slept peacefully. ”
I said, "Let him sleep." He's working too hard. ”
Guan Wenliang said: "Mrs. Jun wants to go in and have a look?" ”
I said, "No, I'm not going in." It was with great difficulty that he fell asleep, and he was afraid that he would be disturbed by going in. I am copying the scriptures in the side hall today, and if he wakes up, wait for him to eat something, and come to inform me, and I will come to see him again. ”
Guan Wenliang said: "Obey Yi's will." ”
(b)
I took the maids all the way to the side hall.
The attendant in charge of copying the scriptures in the monastery asked, "What kind of scriptures did Mrs. Jun vow to copy?" ”
I said, "Archmage taught yesterday that all things come from the heart. Therefore, the believer made a vow to copy the Heart Sutra 200 times on behalf of the people of the world and make offerings to the Buddhas. ”
In the mist of sandalwood, I took up the pen and copied the "Heart Sutra" translated by Master Xuanzang word by word.
Although I don't understand the meaning, I feel very kind, and the words go deep into the flesh and blood, engraved in the bottom of my heart.
Before you know it, it's been three poles in the day. It's snowing outside, too, and it's sunny.
The maids came to offer tea and persuaded them, "Madame Jun is tired of copying." Let's drink some tea, go out for a walk, rest your hands and eyes, and come back and copy again. ”
(c)
I stood in the snow with a hand stove in my hand, and I looked out over the mountain scenery in the snow.
A cold wind blew the hair on his forehead.
I breathed deeply in the mountain air. Breathing, what a common thing, repeated so many times a day, we don't even feel it. I had never felt that it was a deep blessing to be able to breathe smoothly, and I had never been grateful, joyful, or satisfied for it.
However, for you who are in deep pain, being able to breathe smoothly and steadily is a very precious enjoyment.
"Is Mrs. Jun looking at the mountain view?"
I turned around and saw Grand Lama Tubudan and his attendants standing not far behind me.
I saluted, "Yes." The eyes are spent, come out and look into the distance, adjust it. ”
I said, "Master Xie personally delivered medicine and wine in the early morning to relieve the general's illness. ”
The Grand Lama said, "It is the duty of the monks to be compassionate and help others to remove all suffering. ”
(iv)
Grand Lama Tubudan led me around the various courtyards of the monastery.
The plum blossom in the temple welcomes the frost and snow, is in full bloom, and the light fragrance is overflowing, refreshing people's hearts.
We walked among the flowers and talked as we spoke.
The Great Lama introduced me to the origin, development and legends of the monastery.
The Grand Lama said, "Mrs. Jun had another question yesterday, but she didn't say it. ”
I said, "The archmage is perceptive, and the believer does have a question. However, I didn't know if the question was in accordance with the law, so I thought about it again and again, and I didn't dare to speak. ”
The Grand Lama said, "Mrs. Jun wants to know if there is any fate to meet again in this life after the general leaves this time." ”
I was taken aback and said, "Yes." How does the Archmage know what is in the heart of the believer? ”
The Grand Lama smiled slightly and said, "Mrs. Jun and the general have a relationship after this farewell. However, the time is long, not short-term. ”
I said, "Will the faithful girl still see him?" ”
The Grand Lama nodded affirmatively and said, "It's okay." ”
The Grand Lama said, "If the amulet on the general's chest remains with him, you will be able to see each other again in the future." ”
I was amazed and delighted. To my surprise, the Great Lama even knew about our exchange of amulets in the car, and happily, no matter what, we will meet again in the future.
I said, "Thank you, Master." ”
The great lama looked at my joy and said, "Madame Jun, the things of the world are unpredictable, joys and sorrows, and it may not be joy to see it, and it is not necessarily a loss to see it. I hope that Mrs. Jun will understand this truth, stay sober when she is happy, and be open-minded and self-understanding when she is sad. ”
At that time, I didn't know that the relationship between one side mentioned by the Grand Lama Tubudan was not completed in that lifetime, but the meeting of the Xiyuan Gorge in the future life.
Because I always have a strong desire to accompany you at your deathbed, I finally appeared by your side at your dying moment and sent you on your last journey. Although in an unexpected way, at an unexpected time.

After talking with the archmage, I went back to the side hall, burned incense and washed my hands, and copied the scriptures neatly with a gold pen.
After copying the last word of the last pass of the Heart Sutra, I put down my pen and felt calmer than I had ever been.
When I think back to when I was engrossed in copying the scriptures just now, my heart was filled with every word that was being written, all the troubles and distractions, joys and sorrows, all of which could not be counted, clear and clear, and spotless, that kind of state reminds me of what I felt when you taught me to meditate, when you closed your eyes and counted your breaths.
I was sitting there, still savoring Fang Cai's state of mind, when the maid came to report that you had woken up and were eating.
So I got up and went to see you.
(f)
In the hallway, I saw Xie Shuangcheng coming out of the conservatory.
He had something in his hand, and when he saw me coming, he hesitated for a moment, and then tried to dodge.
My eyes chased him.
He had to kneel down on the edge of the hallway, but he hid what he was holding behind him.
I walked over. I said, "Take it out." What is it? ”
He hesitated again, and slowly brought the thing to the front: a pillow soaked in blood.
I closed my eyes and covered my chest.
Xie Shuangcheng kowtowed and said in a low voice, "Mrs. Jun take care." ”
I opened my eyes. I said, "How is he now?" ”
Xie Shuangcheng said: "The bleeding has just stopped. ”
(g)
I sat down in front of your bed.
See your face and know how you were last night.
You leaned back on the pillow, so pale that you didn't even have the strength to look up.
I asked softly, "Did it hurt a lot last night?" ”
You say, "No." ”
I was sad and said, "I, I slept too deeply last night and didn't know anything, why didn't I send someone to tell me?" "You
You say, "You need to get a good night's sleep." ”
I wept and choked.
"There's one, new news." You say weakly.
You look at Wu Shun. He presented me the document that I was reading to you when I came in.
I hesitated for a moment and took it.
I saw Liu Shen's handwriting. He won on the Southern Front. And they conquered the city. Now, at the forefront of their battle line, they are less than 300 miles away from the city. Liu Shen's sword was already pointed at his own brother's chest.
Is this good news? Doesn't count?
