Some things are indeed sensitive, otherwise, how can there be so many people who study Buddhism and believe in Buddhism? But as a student of Buddhism, you can't ask for induction.

"Why?" I asked.

This is very simple, because, if there is a Buddha, there is a demon, and the Buddha has supernatural powers, so the demons also have supernatural powers. There are really a lot of such things, and it's really a pity that a good person suddenly ends up in a psychiatric hospital.

"Then Brother Zhu, if you want to learn Buddhism, where should you start?" I suddenly remembered such a question.

"That's a good question? Generally speaking, many teachers are talking about learning from almsgiving, and there is nothing wrong with this statement. But I want to learn more than I can from the heart. You look at what kind of thoughts come up every day, whether they are good or bad, because all the Dharma arises from the heart. If you have many good thoughts, you will have good rewards in the future, and if you have many bad thoughts, you will have bad rewards in the future. Pay attention to this, and in addition to that, you have to keep the five precepts. Nowadays, a lot of people have taken the bodhisattva vows and so on, but it's really good to really keep the five precepts, because it's easy to say, but it's really hard to do. We have to put these things into practice. What are the five precepts, you can Baidu. If not, let's take the time to talk. ”

After I said yes. I just put my phone aside. I'm thinking, since this Zhu Peng has said the Dharma so well, is the Dharma true or false? I'll have to verify that.

Because our work here is in a two-sided mode, I happened to be on the night shift that day. Our morning shift is from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; The evening shift is from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. It was already November, and when I got off the bus with me, I could feel a little snowflake in the sky. I trotted around my neck, when I suddenly saw a man sitting by the blue iron gate of the vegetable market to the east.

What is he sitting there doing in such a cold weather? I thought to myself. So I took a closer look, and it turned out to be a beggar.

By the way, I seem to have a padded jacket there where I live, because it is a work clothes issued by the previous company, and it is not very good-looking, so I keep it there and don't wear it. If you throw it away! It's a pity again. If you don't throw it away, it really looks annoying, and the clothes are too big.

So I ran to my house, opened the door, and took out the padded jacket for my work clothes. And then it was delivered to the beggar.

I remember he looked at me, and I looked at him, and he was supposed to be six or seven years old. He has a long beard. I was really confused, how could a beggar still be six or seven years old, and I really didn't think about it at the time.

I handed the clothes into his hands, and I went back.

On the stairs I went back, I picked up fifty dollars. I live on the third floor. To tell the truth, I have never picked up money for so many years, more than 20 years, which is fake and deceitful, but I have never picked up such a large denomination of money.

I think what Zhu Peng's friend said should be true. So I told Miao Miao what I had seen.

"You know, I'm telling you something?" I said this to Miao Miao.

"What's the matter?" Miao Miao asked.

I told Miao Miao the whole story of this incident. Miao Miao was also surprised. So I said, "I must find an opportunity to convert to Buddhism." ”

Miao Miao didn't say anything, maybe he really didn't understand this very well.

I don't care so much anymore. I'll just do my own.

I looked up the information on the Internet and said that when you take refuge, it is better to take a shower or something. According to this statement, I took a bath first, and then went to find a cleaner temple.

The name of this temple is in Qinglong Temple, at the beginning of the year, there was a movie, the Qinglong Temple in Chen Kaige's "The Legend of the Demon Cat".

When I was done, I said to Miao Miao, "I have taken refuge." ”

"What is refuge?" Miao Miao asked.

"Refuge means to turn back, to rely on means to rely on, on whom, on Buddhism, on Shakyamuni Buddha. If you want to say that you took refuge in that mage, you are wrong, you are very wrong. ”

After I finished saying this, I felt that Miao Miao's phone was very flat.

"Besides that, don't they want anything, or send something?" Miao Miao asked.

"Why not, yes! I was charged 50 yuan for the cost of work, issued a refuge certificate, and gave me a legal name. I replied.

"And a fee?"

"It doesn't matter. Isn't it fifty dollars? I said.

Seriously, I'm really not the type of person who can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, I really think that this fifty yuan is really not a lot, because the monks of the temple, they are not like in the past, they can grow something by themselves. Nowadays, the monks really don't have any income other than doing some Buddhist things. Even if believers come to worship the Buddha and donate merit money, how much is that? Therefore, it is really hard to practice in a temple that is not famous. I think what I'm saying, someone must be able to feel it.

"You let me see, what does it look like?" Miao Miao asked.

"How can I let you see it now, I'll go to you next time." I replied.

That being said, I don't really know when I'm going to pass. Because it's almost December. It won't be long before the New Year arrives.

I'm not a kid now, I'm very afraid of the New Year, and when the New Year comes, my relatives and friends will definitely ask where I am now, how much money I earn a month, and when I will get married.

Seriously, I'm really afraid they'll ask me this. I have no way to answer their questions. The most important thing is that my current job is really not very profitable, even if I get married in the future, how can I afford to buy a house, I haven't thought about it before, and now, I really can't help but face such a problem.

That's how I earn money to buy a house, and if I earn a salary like this, I definitely can't buy a house. But I also want to increase my income. It's just that I'm working overtime desperately. I did the math and it was still so much money.

So I have to ask my senior brother Zhu Peng to see if he has a way to increase his income? So I got through to him.

"Hey, Senior Brother Zhu, you've been studying Buddhism for so long, have you found any ways in Buddhist scriptures to increase your income?" Asked.

Before I asked this question, I was sure that I had thought about it, and if she said anything else, such as working extra overtime, it would be tantamount to not saying it, because this is a method that anyone can think of. But what surprised me was that Senior Brother Zhu Peng didn't say that.

He said, "Yes! That's giving. ”

How could he say that? I think. But I don't have any money now, so how can he ask me to give alms? If you have money, you donate a thousand or eight hundred, it's not a thing.
