Qixia Temple was founded in the seventh year of Yongming in the Southern Qi Dynasty (489), almost 500 years of history, is one of the best famous temples in the south of the Yangtze River.

Today, the well-known Minghui Zen master in the south of the Yangtze River lectures here, Wu Wang Li Congjia has always believed in Buddhism, and sat in the audience and listened to it as if he was fascinated. However, Zhao Zheng, a vulgar monk, didn't feel anything, and seemed to be a little absent-minded, and it was completely a polite make-up. Inadvertently, sixty or seventy percent of their eyes fell on Emperor Zhou E and Lady Yao.

The lady sat quietly on the side, as if she didn't care about the Zen master's preaching, I saw her brows lowered, her face sad, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

On the contrary, Zhou Ehuang listened attentively, looking at her beautiful and unparalleled face full of focused expressions, Zhao Zheng couldn't help but sigh, she is really a husband and wife!

In this way, I also came with some interest, listened attentively, and only listened to Minghui Zen Master say:

One day, the Buddha was walking by the lotus pond, gazing at the water, and suddenly saw a scene of hell. There are countless beings there, wailing in the pools of hell's blood. The Buddha watched them quietly, thinking about their ignorance and sinful karma, and couldn't help but sigh.

Inadvertently, the Buddha noticed a man named Kindatta (soul), who killed people and set fires during his lifetime, and eventually fell into hell because of his full of evil.

My Buddha had compassion for him and wanted to save him from hell, but after searching the causes of his death, I regretted that I could hardly find the slightest good deed for his salvation.

If the Buddha does not believe, how can a person be all evil and not have a trace of good thoughts and good deeds? After several searches, he finally found a small act of kindness, and in the heart of compassion, he planned to give Kinder a chance.

It was a long time ago, when Kindator was walking on the road when he saw a spider crawling on the road, and wanted to kill it. When I just lifted my foot, I suddenly had a kind thought in my heart, thinking that the little spider would not offend me, so it would be better to let it live. With good thoughts, the little spider escaped from his feet.

The cycle of cause and effect, karma gets karma. So, the Buddha grabbed the silver spider silk and slowly lowered it from Elysium into the Infernal Hell.

Kindatore in hell saw a silver light coming from overhead, and he regarded it as a savior, and quickly grabbed the spider silk with both hands and struggled to climb up. But when he climbed to rest halfway, he suddenly saw that under the spider silk, there were countless hellish beings who were also climbing on the spider silk.

When Kindardus saw this, he couldn't help but panic and anger, thinking that spider silk was so thin that it was rare to be able to bear it alone. How can you bear the weight of so many people, and if you break it, won't you fall back to hell and suffer?

In desperation, Kindatore angrily shouted downward, 'I discovered the spider silk first, it belongs to me, and you are not allowed to climb it!' ’

As the sound echoed in the air, the spider silk suddenly broke from his hand, and Kindator fell back into hell, leaving only silver spider silk that shimmered in the dark air.

After Zen Master Minghui finished telling the story, Wen Yan said: "The Buddha said that it is convenient for you to be convenient for others...... Good and evil are more important. If you think good, you will get out of the sea of suffering, and if you think evil, you will fall into hell forever. Those who repay grievances with virtue and evil with good have great compassion; Those who repay virtue with resentment and good with evil may go to hell. Therefore, remember that doing good and not doing evil should be the responsibility of Buddhist disciples and lay people. ”

The story of Buddhism is not much to say, but it is always right to persuade people to be good. After Zen Master Minghui finished speaking, everyone agreed, Li Congjia was even more pious, and Emperor Zhou E's eyes were a little unnatural.

Li Congjia said with a smile: "I heard that Zhao Shaoqing was originally a famous monk in Bianliang, I don't know what to say about this?" ”

Here we go again, look at the joke, right?

For this kind of behavior, Zhao Zheng is very annoyed, what is the meaning? Li Congjia seems to be a child who has not grown up, and he seems to be happy with it.

"This official has been fortunate to listen to the Sanskrit sound of the morning bell for several years, where can I talk about any eminent monk?" Zhao Zheng said with a smile: "As for the Zen master's lofty theory, I also agree with it. In life, it is true that we must distinguish between good and evil, and it is right to punish evil and promote good, but there are also some foolish opinions below. ”

Li Congjia said with a smile: "Zhao Shaoqing has any high opinions, let's hear it." ”

Zhao Zheng shook his head and said: "I think that good and evil are relative, and it is necessary to punish evil and promote good, but when good and evil contradict each other, what should be good?" How to choose? Those who repay grievances with virtue and protect evil with good are compassionate, but they may not be able to benefit all sentient beings...... Not everyone can be influenced to have an epiphany and become a Buddha on the spot. Otherwise, there are tens of millions of people in the world who chant scriptures and worship Buddhas, and how many of them have become Taoist monks? How many people have become Buddhas?

Furthermore, should evil be completely rejected and criticized? Everything has a cause, is it still evil for good and evil? Is it good for evil's sake? There are two sides to everything, and so is good and evil. ”

"The words of the benefactor, can you do small evil for the sake of great good?" Zen Master Minghui asked softly.

Li Congjia smiled coldly, quite disdainful. Zhou Ehuang and Miao Niang listened attentively and became more and more interested in Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Zheng shook his head and said: "The Buddha has clouds, and sincerity is spiritual." It is not impossible to do evil for the sake of good when it is necessary, and the so-called good and evil are not the process, but the original intention and purpose. If doing good is used as an excuse for evil, then it really deserves to go to hell. ”

"What the donor said is very important, it is important to have a good heart, and do not do evil things in the name of good." Master Minghui agrees.

Li Congjia was happy in his heart, this was what Zhao Zheng said himself, so don't blame yourself for being polite.

Zen Master Minghui was still preaching, but a few people were already interested and didn't have the heart to listen to it anymore, so they went out of Qixia Temple.

Standing in front of the relics stupa in the temple, you can see that it is lush and green, full of beautiful mountains, and it is beautiful.

Li Congjia said with a smile: "Zhao Shaoqing is really well versed in Buddhism, it seems that what Emperor E said is right, please come here, listen to your words, the mouth is suddenly opened!" ”

"His Royal Highness King Wu is serious!" Zhao Zheng's expression was a little unnatural, and he felt that he had become very hypocritical when dealing with someone who might have bad intentions.

"The scenery of Qixia Mountain is beautiful, this king is willing to be a guide, Zhao Shaoqing is willing to go for a visit?" Li Congjia smiled and made an invitation.

Zhao Zheng sneered: "Okay, it's an honor." ”

"The red leaves of Qixia Mountain are the most beautiful, but unfortunately the season is still early, and Zhao Shaoqing is afraid that he will miss it." Emperor Zhou E sighed, exhaled like an orchid, and his voice was tactful.

Zhao Zheng couldn't help but move in his heart, as if he was also very regretful, and sighed: "The official of Qixia Maple Leaf Prosperity has heard of it, but it is a pity that the beautiful scenery of the frost leaves red in February can be seen in late autumn." At that time, the official should have left Jinling, what a pity! ”

Emperor Zhou E said politely: "If Zhao Shaoqing is free, you can stay in Jinling for a few more days, and then leave after seeing the red leaves." ”

"I can't help myself!" Zhao Zheng said with a smile: "The beautiful scenery of the four seasons in the south of the Yangtze River is different, and after seeing the autumn leaves, I still want to see the spring flowers, do I have to live in Jinling?" Today, there is King Wu and the princess to accompany the tour, and I am already satisfied! ”

Li Congjia said with a smile: "Since this is the case, let's set off to enjoy the scenery!" Congshan has a small courtyard on the mountain, often hear him say that he climbs high and overlooks, the beautiful scenery of Qixia is in full view, the beautiful scenery is overwhelming, how about we go to see today? ”

"Okay!" Zhao Zheng smiled, walking with beauty, climbing the mountain and enjoying the scenery is also a pleasure. As for Li Congjia's possible small actions, just be careful.

A few people walked up the mountain road, the autumn wind was blowing, and the trees were green. From time to time, you can see streams and mountain springs, strange trees and strange things, and there are also small movements that appear and disappear from time to time. Zhou Ehuang and Lady Niang, the two women in the deep house, rarely come forward, and they are very excited after seeing them.

For Zhao Zheng, climbing high to see the distance, blowing the mountain breeze, watching the beautiful scenery, and listening to the laughter of beautiful women can also be regarded as a kind of enjoyment. The only regret is that the time is not right, and there is no frost and leaves all over the mountain......
