"One, two, three, four." Li Chen got up on time the next day and started exercising. However, it is different from the previous days. After his life stabilized temporarily, he increased the activity of running in the morning. This body is quite strong, but the endurance is not very good.

Panting and running back to the temple, Li Chen did some relaxation exercises, and began to do some loose hands as he did two days ago, and also did the gymnastics he learned in school. When you're done, take a shower and go to breakfast.

"It's so fragrant~" Li Chen picked up the rice bowl and ate in a big gulp. Since he became the tent room in the temple, those monks no longer gave him white eyes, and Li Chen also slept in the tent, and the tent had a small room for him to live. Li Chen is quite satisfied with his current life, "It would be nice if I could eat some meat." Eat just rice and vegetables every day.'"

People's hearts are always insufficient, a few days ago, Li Chen was still worried about where to eat, and now he wants to eat meat again, "You can eat meat." Adversity... Li Chen turned his head and looked at the little novice next to him.

"Didn't the Buddhists say that you are not allowed to eat meat?" , Could it be that this little novice ate secretly, and he didn't say hello. "Three forbidden meats are okay." "What are the three forbidden meats?" "You didn't kill it, you didn't see it die, and you didn't die because of you, but you forbade meat." Lifan explained.

"I didn't see him die in the market, and I didn't kill him, but if I went to buy him, I would have died because of me..." Li Chen thought about it, if he went to the town to buy meat, would it be counted as the three forbidden meats, and the conclusion was that it belonged to Article 3.

"I said, "I said, you know a lot, I don't think you have ever eaten it secretly." Li Chen teased, "Nonsense, don't talk nonsense." , Fan's face turned red, and Li Chen was sure that he had eaten it secretly.

"These are all said by the abbot. The abbot said that in the past, when Buddhism first came to Dongtude, monks could eat meat. In the Liang Dynasty, because the saint was devout to the Buddha at that time, he also became a monk. At that time, the abbot told us why we couldn't eat meat, and by the way, he mentioned the three forbidden meats. Lifan talked endlessly, it turned out that these were all said by the abbot, but it also opened Li Chen's eyes.

In the next generation, there will be a lot of vegetarian meat to eat, vegetarian chicken, vegetarian crow, vegetarian meat, etc., and he still wants to say, isn't it out of compassion and forbidden to eat meat? As a result, it is similar to chickens, ducks and fish, so what kind of Buddha is cultivated, it turns out that the Buddha can also eat meat.

"Actually, in this case, I can think of two ways to eat meat." Li Chen secretly said this to Fan, and when he saw Fan's eyes shining, he knew that he must have eaten secretly, so he would miss it so much. However, speaking of which, such a young child, who is only eleven years old and still growing up, should not be vegetarian at all.

"Have you ever heard of waiting for a rabbit?" Seeing Fan shaking his head blankly, Li Chen said, "Before, there was a rabbit who accidentally hit a tree and died. When a farmer came home, he picked up the rabbit.'" "There's a dead rabbit to pick up." If you hit and die, and you haven't seen it before, then it's considered three forbidden meat." Lifan was about to salivate when he heard it, "Why haven't I ever met a rabbit that I hit and killed, Thirteen Lang, which tree are you talking about?"

"Ha, you stay like the farmer, who picked up the rabbit and never planted it again. Every day I go to the bottom of the tree and wait for the rabbits, which is called waiting for the rabbits, how can it be so good, there are rabbits that can be picked up every day." Li Fan was a little embarrassed to hear this, touched his bald head and said, "What about the second method?"

"You can wait until those animals die of sickness or old age." As long as they themselves die, it is considered the three forbidden meats.'" , Li Chen originally thought that the so-called three forbidden meats were cracked by him, and even if there were no dead rabbits to pick up, there would be dead cows and dead horses that could be eaten, who knows, Li Fan shook his head, "I can't eat old age and sickness."

"Ah, that's it. That.'" It's so hard to eat meat, and it's not good to die of old age. However, it is true, he died of illness and unhealth, and died of old age... It seems that the people can, but people don't wait until after death to kill, usually they kill in advance. That's still killing, and it's not easy to wait until you die of natural old age.

"Then let's go and steal a piece of meat, so that we are not guilty of sin." , Li Chen smiled, "Steal!? How can this be.'" , Fan was surprised, "Why not, if you go to buy it, it meets the third item." Die for you, but if you steal, the butcher will not kill for the sake of being stolen.' , Li Chen was confused, "But, like this..." Lifan was really confused.

"Thirteen Lang, the Buddhists also avoid stealing. Amitabha', when he was confused, a person interjected. It turned out that I saw it a few days ago.

"Besides, the butcher kills for the sake of the common people who want to eat meat. Whether you steal or buy, it's one of them.'" "Yes, yes, that's it. It's still a great brother.'" Hearing Wuming's words, Fan Fan was overjoyed, Li Chen's words just now made him dizzy, and he felt that this statement was wrong, but he didn't know how to refute it.

"Master Wuming." , "Li Tanyue." , the two sides greeted each other very politely. "Our temple coarse tea and light rice, I don't know Tan Yue, you can use it to get used to." "Very good, very good. Before leaving, he was tired of people and had no fixed place to live. I am grateful to have been taken in by the abbot.'" Regarding Wuming, Li Chen has no other thoughts, he just wants to stay away.

At first, when he met his own meaningful expression, Li Chen thought about it and couldn't understand it. Because both parties didn't know each other beforehand, there shouldn't be many opportunities to get grudges.

And he doesn't think he's so bad, he is hated when he meets, and then immediately someone wants to come up and slap him in the face. When there is no answer, Li Chen just wants to keep his distance from the other party.

It's just that now that he sees people coming up by himself, he is quite angry with himself, and Li Chen will not turn against others, and the two sides start talking.

"I don't know if Tan Yue can have a family to worry about, if it's convenient, you can pick up our temple. Although the temple is not large, it can accommodate a few people. and ask my family what they do?

"Master Lao Wuming is worried. The family life is okay, and there is no need to worry about going down." , Zhaitang is not a good place to speak, Wuming said a few words and left. After eating enough, he left first, Li Chen went to the cook, asked for a few pieces of bread, and prepared to eat at noon. So he went back to the account office and began to do his own work.

In the next few days, Li Chen lived a peaceful and stable life. The account has to work, and it is very busy to say that it is busy, and it is also very leisurely to say that it is leisurely.

In the past few days, his main job is to register the autumn harvest and get the land rent in the warehouse. He prepared several ledgers in advance, and divided the materials into the storehouse, mainly grain, cloth, money, and miscellaneous income. First sort out the autumn harvest, and then slowly register the surplus materials from before.

"Finally, it's over. Ouch, I'm so tired.' , After more than ten busy days, I finally put the autumn into the library. After breakfast, the monk who was in charge of the food in the hall came to him, and he opened the storehouse, took stock, took out the food that was scheduled to be useful for the next few days, locked the storehouse, and he had nothing to do.

"Go and see how those monks live." , to say that he has nothing to do, not really, in fact, he still has a bunch of past ledgers to sort out. He is going to convert those ledgers into the books he now uses.

However, he has been busy for a long time for the autumn income in the past few days. In addition, he had just handed over before, and he was also busy for a few days in order to count the inventory in the warehouse. So decided to take a break.

"The key, I'd better take it with you." , touched the key on his waist, he felt that it was better to carry it with him. It's a very heavy key.

He has a lot of responsibility in this account. The key on him was the key to the treasury, and the abbot also had one. But generally you have to look for him when you want to open a treasury, because he wants to record. Like Saitang, every few days, they would come to him. Bring a certain amount of grain from the storehouse. So he must keep the key well, otherwise he will lose his words, and if the warehouse is emptied, he will be annoyed.

He followed the sound to the lecture hall, which was an ordinary, airy room, and the floor was full of beds. A group of monks, big and small, are "Busa"

I saw a middle-aged monk in the center, holding a large board in his hand, preaching some Buddhist rules. He said it again, and the monk repeated it, and then he shouted and asked, 'Is there a sin?' One by one, he called the monks by name and asked them if they had violated the precepts he had just mentioned, and the monks replied, "No." Of course, I won't answer yes, and if I answer yes, don't you just say that I have committed a crime.

The activity took place for half a day. The bhikshu, who was so serious, finished talking about the precepts of the Qing rules, and then changed to the abbot, the master of Hui Shan. The great monk began to preach for half a day.

Li Chen was drowsy, she had nothing to do, curious about what these monks were usually doing. Listen, listen, and he fell asleep, until Van woke him up.

"Thirteen, Thirteen. Wake up.'" "Hmm, I'm asleep?!" , Li Chen wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth. "Finished chanting? If not, let's go to the nearby mountains." "No, Thirteen Lang. I have to go back to my room now and review what Master said just now."

"Review every day, you won't be tired." "No? What will be. I want to read a few scriptures as soon as possible, and then I can go on a wandering.'"

"It's boring... The monk's life is not easy, and he will suffocate to death." , Li Chen decided to go back to the account room first, eat something, and finish sorting out his account books.

The life of a monk is really boring, and he has to recite once in the morning and evening. Monks of all sizes gathered in the hall of the Mahavira and then knocked on the wooden fish and recited lullaby. Then it's a daily zazen study, self-study, and a review of the scriptures.

Busa is done twice a month, and the content is like that, repeating the precepts and paying attention to whether you have sinned. Such an event, twice a month.

Finally, there is the general invitation, which is a kind of collective labor activity. Generally speaking, it is a sign to tell the monks in the temple that they will work collectively on that day. This is for some high-level bhikkhus, some slightly lower ones, who basically have to do things every day.

These are the activities of the monks that Li Chen saw when he lived in the Longevity Temple. It's really boring, "It's better to be my tent." Being a monk is really boring to death.'"

It's just that when Li Chen returned to the tent, as soon as he opened it, there were two people waiting for him inside.
