Chapter 660: Misfortune is not a one-way street
So I said to him, "Don't be afraid to worry about calling you a bodhisattva, because you haven't really understood what a bodhisattva means. ”
"Oh! A bodhisattva is a bodhisattva like Avalokiteshvara, is there any other way to say it? Wu Bangren asked.
"Yes! There is Avalokiteshvara, but it's a general title, just like students, there are college students, there are middle school students, there are elementary school students, and so on. Bodhisattvas are the same, there are many ranks. The word bodhisattva is translated from India and is an abbreviation of bodhisattva. There are two main ways to translate. One of them is translated by Kumarosh, who feels that there are sentient beings. There is also a translation by Master Xuanzang, called a big-hearted ordinary man. Both methods of translation are very good.
Everyone knows the former, this doesn't need to be explained too much, the latter is translated by Master Xuanzang, this is also very good, what does it mean? It's a mortal man with a big heart. It's true that you are an ordinary man, as long as you have a big wish, then you are a bodhisattva, and you are shocked if you don't know. After knowing it, there is actually nothing? ”
After I finished speaking, he agreed with me by looking at his expression.
While the two of us were talking, we had already saved a lot of people. It can be said that so many people in the center of this city were rescued by us. While we are saving people here, we heard that a large area of poisonous fog has also occurred in the West Lake area. In that case, we have to think of ways to see how we can help the people in the West Lake District.
So I took a look at the boss of Wu Bangren to see if he had any relationship over there, and if he did, he could quickly contact the people over there.
So the boss of the Wu Bangren said: "My nephew is over there, do you think it's okay?" ”
I said, "It doesn't matter if people are all right, as long as they are characterful." I said to him.
"That's it! My nephew, you can rest assured that there is not the slightest problem. ”
"Well, in that case, then you can call your nephew now and ask him to come over and see when he can come, so I can also make arrangements for this." I put it this way.
"What are you arranged?" Wu Bangren said.
"There are a lot of things, you see, I want to know, what is the population over there, I'm ready for the Great Compassion Water!"
"That's it!" As he spoke, Wu Bangren called his nephew.
After a long time, I asked Wu Bangren, how is it? Have you made contact with your nephew? I know that it only takes ten minutes to make a phone call, why, there is no response from his side, is it because there is a problem with his phone, or there is a problem with his nephew.
It turned out that his nephew was noisy in the street. In that case, why don't you just call him and tell him to wait, call him back, isn't it? I said this to Wu Bangren.
Finally got through. His nephew said that the population on their side was not as large as that on this side. If that were the case, I wouldn't need so much of the water of great compassion that I had prepared.
After saying all this, his nephew said to come over the next day, so in that case, then we, the two of us, have to wait for his nephew to come over, it was a very ordinary night, but to me it was like a few years, but every second a person died, because he could not be cured. So I'm not worried about him, I'm worried about all the patients.
To be honest, I don't even know how I survived this night, I didn't go to bed very early, but I just couldn't sleep, I was afraid that I slept for an hour, no one told me to be wrong, the time I talked to his nephew. Actually, I feel like a fool when I think about it, because, if I send this, I'm sure that anybody will come and inform me that his nephew is coming and wants to ask me how to treat patients, very simple questions, but I think it's too complicated, I may have mentioned it a little too much.
Maybe it's also because I was too sleepy, but in the second half of the night, at about two o'clock, I finally fell asleep in a daze, and I slept for two or three hours, and I woke up at about five o'clock. And at this time, his nephew had not yet come, and I thought that since I had woken up, I was not going to sleep again. So I began to recite my scriptures.
At about eight or nine o'clock, his nephew came. I looked at his nephew's appearance and felt that his nephew's appearance was not the type I liked, why do you say that? Because I know that there is a truth in the heart. Since this is the case, I was not prepared to take away the great compassion water that I had blessed him to heal and save people. I'm afraid he'll take it and use it as a tool to make money.
Although on the surface, I didn't tell him not to let him take away the great compassion water that I had blessed. But people are like this, what you think, your face involuntarily shows these things.
"What, Mr. Jiang, you don't believe him?" Wu Bangren asked me.
I don't really know how to answer his question. If it answers, it must be an offense. If it's a lie, that's a no-go for me. It seems that I have to agree with her, I thought to myself.
"Okay, in order to prevent you from using these great compassion waters that I have blessed as a tool to make money. Can you swear a poisonous oath in front of me? I said.
"That's good! If I, Wu Ren, use these great compassion waters as a tool to make money and profit, then I, Wu Ren, would like to die of festering all over my body. ”
Seeing that he swore so firmly, what else could I say.
I only gave him the Great Compassion Water that I had blessed after staying up for a few nights without sleeping, and let him take it.
Because after he took away these great compassion waters, I was relieved. Even if I'm not at ease, what can I do? He is so far away from me, I can't follow his ass to supervise, here in Hangzhou, I still have a lot of things to do, I think about the patients, the reconstruction of the home, I want to help them, teach them some skills, so that they can support their families.
So don't because of these patients, I don't have anything else to do after I've worked so hard to save them, and that's a big mistake.
Regarding some of the skills needed to teach these sick people and let them rebuild their homes, I want to discuss with the boss of Wu Bangren to see which skills can not only make them feel that they can learn quickly, but also allow them to get practical value immediately.
So I asked Wu Bangren: "How about teaching them how to cook?" ”
"Of course it's okay to learn to cook, but I want to learn to cook, so what you said, will this be a murderous offense?" I helped someone suddenly say this, he is really enlightened, and he suddenly said to my heart.
It seems that this is also like what Venerable Jingkong said, if you want to learn Buddhism, there is no necessary connection between your attainment and age, gender, and education level.
