On the second day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Kang Yan packed up her salute and took Xiao Jiu to Wan'an Temple outside the city. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
According to the custom of the Great Liang, 35 days after the death of the deceased, that is, at 57 o'clock, and 100 days, the relatives of the deceased should go to the temple where the tablet was placed at the time of his death to stay for 35 days, one is to pray for the blessing of the deceased, and the other is to reunite with the soul of the deceased.
Kang Yan decided to live in Wan'an Temple for three days, she brought Qingmei and Xinghua two personal maids, Xiao Jiu brought a personal servant Chang Geng, let Chengzi catch the car, and entrusted the family affairs to Uncle Zhao and his wife to take care of, out of the city gate about two teas to Wan'an Temple.
The sisters and brothers first lit the lantern for their parents in the main hall, put incense on it, donated money for sesame oil, and then went to the apse where their parents' tablets were placed to worship with incense, and finally went to the backyard for pilgrims to stay under the leadership of Xiao Shami.
Wan'an Temple is located in the middle of nowhere, the incense in the temple is not vigorous, the apse is important to place tablets, and the backyard is used for the relatives of the deceased who come to stay, so the backyard room of Wan'an Temple is empty most of the time.
As soon as she entered the moon cave gate in the backyard, Kang Yan saw a touch of crimson clothes disappearing at the gate of the courtyard in front of her, looking at the back, she felt extremely familiar, and she couldn't remember where she had seen it for a while.
''Are there any other pilgrims in the temple today?'' Kang Yeon asked the little novice who was accompanying her.
''A benefactor came to the temple to release the animals. Little Shami bowed and replied.
Come to Wan'an Temple to release life? Kang Yan was stunned.
Everyone in Daliang believes in Buddhism, and when there is a major event in the family, they often pray for blessings and ask for signatures, and one of the important activities is the release of life.
The eminent monk Hanshan said in his "Liberation of Life": "People love their longevity, and creatures love their lives." Release the heart of heaven, release the Buddha's order, release the three disasters, release the nine horizontal, release the long life of the release of the official Lusheng, release the descendants of Chang, release the family to celebrate, release the worry-free trouble, release less disease, release the life to solve the grievances, release the sin and dirt. Release Guanyin Ci, release Fuxian, release and kill, and the results are as clear as a mirror. ‘‘
It is a person who encounters major events, such as longevity, marriage, childbirth, etc., will go to the temple to carry out life release activities, in order to live a long life and prosper their descendants.
However, people in Macheng Province generally go to the Sansheng Temple in the west of the city when they are released, and the Sansheng Temple is the largest temple in Macheng Province, with strong incense, and there will be a release event during menopause.
How could someone come to the remote Wan'an Temple to release life? Although Kang Yan was a little confused, Mei was very concerned, and when she arrived at their courtyard, she cleaned up, and after using the vegetarian food in the temple, she called Xiao Jiu to go to the main hall to listen to the master lecture on Buddhist scriptures.
Generally to the temple, can participate in the activities is nothing more than incense, ask for signs, listen to the scriptures, some temples like the Three Holy Temple, the geographical location is good, the surrounding scenery is beautiful, you can also walk around the temple, but Wan'an Temple is more remote, there is nothing to see around, moreover, Kang Yan's trip is to pay tribute to her parents, in addition to incense, you can only listen to the scriptures.
In her previous life, Kang Yan had always maintained an attitude of indifference to the Buddha and no belief in it, but after experiencing her own rebirth, and thinking of Ling Jing who was trapped in her epiphany, she was in awe of the gods and Buddhas, and things in the world are impermanent, maybe there is really a Buddha.
As soon as she sat down and didn't listen to a few words, Kang Yan felt that someone on her left sat down again, she couldn't help but turn her head to look, a touch of crimson clothes, cold eyebrows, not Du Yunche, who else would there be.
"It's you." Kang Yeon couldn't help but mutter.
"It's such a coincidence, Miss Kang is also there." Du Yunche blinked, and a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, which eased his originally cold facial features a lot, and there was a layer of tenderness in it.
Kang Yan looked at the crimson shirt on his body, remembering the figure he saw in the backyard, no wonder he felt that the back was very much
Familiar, it turned out to be him.
She nodded at Du Yunche, then ignored him and listened attentively to the Buddhist scriptures taught by the presiding master.
Du Yunche also closed his eyes slightly and listened to the Buddhist scriptures.
Today's presiding master is talking about a passage in the Sutra of Karma Difference between the Buddha and the Elder Buddha, saying: "There are ten karmas that can make sentient beings retribution for a long life: one, do not kill living beings; both, persuade him not to kill; Three, praise but not kill; The four, seeing that he did not kill, rejoiced; Fifth, when they see the slain, it is convenient to save them; Sixth, when they see the terrible dead, comfort their hearts; Seven, see the terrorist, give fearless; Eighth, when they see those who are afflicted, they are compassionate; The ninth, seeing those in distress, have great compassion; 10. Give to all sentient beings with food and drink. ‘‘
The host master spoke very slowly, and every paragraph he spoke would give examples to corroborate, Kang Yan couldn't help but think of her previous life when she listened to it, if what was said in the Book of Retribution was really reasonable, then in her previous life, Du Yunche and even the Du family acquiesced in Lu Xiu'er to pour poison into her to kill her, wouldn't there be a long life retribution.
"Tomorrow there will be a life release meeting in the temple, since Lord Kang Shi is praying for his parents, he may wish to participate with Lord Du Shi. After finishing the lecture, the host invited Kang Yan.
Kang Yan hesitated for a moment, Fang nodded, thanked the host master, and walked out of the main hall with Xiao Jiu.
''When the presiding master talked about longevity just now, Miss Kang seemed to have a different opinion? As soon as he left the hall, Du Yunche's voice remembered behind Kang Yan.
Hearing the sound of footsteps behind her, Kang Yan's feet paused slightly, stopped, and turned her head to look at Du Yunche with a smile: "Young Master Du thinks I have a different opinion?" "。
I don't know why, Du Yunche always felt that Kang Yan's eyes looking at him had a lot of meaning, but he couldn't guess the meaning, "I just saw that when the girl heard the host master talk about the ten karma, she saw that the girl at the bottom frowned, and she seemed to have something disapprove, so I guessed that maybe I was too careful." ‘‘
Du Yunche felt that he must be crazy, when he listened to the presiding master's lecture just now, his mind would always be involuntarily released
On Kang Yan next to him, when the host master talked about the ten karma, he saw Kang Yan's eyebrows frowning slightly, and seemed to be a little sad, at that moment, he felt his heart tighten, and he even had an urge to reach out and gently smooth her wrinkled eyebrows for her, and bear the grievances in her heart for her.
He doesn't know what's wrong with him, in his past life, he has never experienced this feeling, he met either a gentle lady, or a passionate woman, who wants to pounce on him when he sees him, there has never been a person like Kang Yan, who is very cold to him, and even ignores him, but she occasionally looks at him with a touch of complicated emotions in her eyes.
He couldn't see through Kang Yan's eyes, but he knew that every time he saw that kind of vision, his heart would be inexplicable.
Kang Yan didn't know the mixed tastes in Du Yunche's heart, she listened to Du Yunche's words, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Young Master Du wants to know what I'm thinking?" "
Du Yunche nodded.
''In the Sutra of Retribution, it is said that there are ten karmas that can be rewarded with a long life, not to mention the mentality of being more compassionate the further you go, but to persuade him to go first
If someone knows that the people around him are going to harm others, and still acquiesces in conniving at the murderer, isn't this the same as committing a murder precept, and such a person cannot get the retribution of longevity, should he be allowed to fall into the eighteenth layer of hell and never be reborn? Kang Yan asked Du Yunche with a smile.
Du Yunche remembered the life experience of Kang Yan that Du Run had found, thinking that she was being bullied by the relatives of the Kang family, and couldn't help but feel a touch of pity in her heart
It's a pity, and the tone of his voice is also gentle, "Such an extremely vicious person naturally has no good reward, and the girl doesn't have to worry about this kind of person." ‘‘
Kang Yan shook her head, "Young Master Du is wrong, I won't be bad for this kind of person, if Young Master Du encounters someone around him who persecuts others for his own interests, what will Young Master Du do?" After all, she couldn't help it, and Kang Yan asked this question.
Du Yunche twisted his eyebrows and thought about it, and said very confidently; ''The division of interests of the people around me is very clear, there will be no such thing.''
People, of course, if you encounter such a person or thing, I will not tolerate it. ‘‘
"Really?" A mocking smile floated on the corner of Kang Yan's mouth, "Young Master Du is really confident, I hope you remember your words,
After he marries your wife, in the face of a beautiful wife and concubine, he can still confidently say this sentence and do it, otherwise, Master Du will be guilty of one of the sins mentioned in the ten karmas, and there will be no good retribution in the future. ‘‘
