Genfa Temple is the largest temple in the capital, and it is also the temple with the most incense.

On some major festivals, the emperor's relatives will come to the temple to pay respects.

Today, a benefactor came to the Yuanfa Temple, which alarmed the old abbot.

The reason is very simple, the donor donated 20,000 taels of silver.

Whoever can donate 20,000 taels of silver is a distinguished guest of the Yuanfa Temple. And this benefactor seems to be going to be a monk in the temple, which makes people pay more attention.

This distinguished guest is in the hall of the Great Majesty, and the abbot himself receives and shaves the ordination.

Daxiong Treasure Hall, the hall is full of smoke, there is a big Buddha in the middle, the eyes of the big Buddha are half open and half closed, low eyebrows and chin, but it seems to be high up, overlooking all living beings.

The abbot of Yuanfa Temple is an old monk named Jiekong, wearing a robe, and his eyebrows have turned white.

"Send the ring knife! Chop three thousand troubles" The abbot shouted, and immediately someone came to the sword.

Xia Yunmo waved his hand hurriedly and said, "Master, I just want to come to listen to the teachings, just be a lay disciple." ”

Jiekong put down the razor and asked solemnly: "Xia Yunmo, don't lie about your longevity, can you hold it today?" ”

Xia Yunmo hesitated, he rarely told lies, but it was difficult for him not to tell lies.

So, he replied, "No! ”

The abbot of the Void Ring trembled his eyebrows, but he didn't say anything, and continued to ask: "Xia Yunmo, if you don't steal, can you hold it today?" ”

Stealing?

Does Xia Yunmo steal? This also seems to be an interesting question. This kind of thing is empty-handed, and sometimes I will do it when I don't have money.

There are also subtle situations where this skill can only be used.

Therefore, he could only reply: "No! ”

The abbot's eyebrows trembled again, shaking even more than last time, but he asked again: "Xia Yunmo, do your best to live without killing, can you hold it today?" ”

Xia Yunmo replied without thinking about this question: "No." ”

Into the rivers and lakes, do not kill?

Maybe someone can do it, but Xia Yunmo can't do it.

The abbot of Jiekong didn't shake his eyebrows this time, but he closed his eyes and said, "Xia Yunmo, you don't have a long life, can you hold it today?" ”

This, it seems to be nonsense again, Xia Yunmo smiled: "This can't either." ”

……

In the solemn hall, the atmosphere suddenly became a little delicate, and the monks stared wide-eyed, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

No monk has ever been like this, and none of the precepts of Buddhism can be observed.

It is true that not everyone can abide by these precepts, but now they are shaving, and if they can't be observed, they must be obeyed.

Even if you have something in your mind, you can't express it directly.

The abbot opened his eyes at this time and said with a sigh: "Lord Xia Shi can't abide by any of the precepts of Buddhism, and it is difficult for poor monks to admit you to Buddhism." ”

Xia Yunmo said with a smile: "I have a relationship with the Buddha, and the Buddha doesn't want me to sink in the sea of suffering, and today I will definitely live in the Yuanfa Temple." ”

The abbot just smiled bitterly.

Xia Yunmo suddenly said to the abbot of Jiekong by means of transmitting sound into the secret: "I have a secret treasure of Buddhism, and the abbot can take a look." ”

The abbot of the void is also a master, and he was not surprised to see Xia Yunmo's methods, but he just waved away the rest of the monks, leaving only Xia Yunmo and himself.

Xia Yunmo suddenly took out the treasure of Buddhism from his arms - a stack of silver tickets.

Not much, only 20,000 taels.

The abbot of the abbot of the Buddha Gate accepted the treasure, showed a compassionate look on his face, folded his hands, and said, "The donor is really destined for my Buddha." ”

Xia Yunmo smiled and said, "Master, I don't know what kind of fate this is?" ”

The abbot said: "It is really a great fate to cross the golden body of my Buddha, add bricks and tiles to the temple, and do good deeds for the poor people in the world." ”

Xia Yunmo said with a smile: "I don't understand the big fate, I just want the master to cleanse my soul and mind, so that I don't sink in the sea of suffering." ”

The abbot said: "Amitabha, the poor monk did his best. ”

Xia Yunmo said: "Good, good." ”

As a result, Xia Yunmo also became a lay disciple of Buddhism.

It's just that he, a lay disciple, didn't do such menial work as chopping wood and carrying water. It is more about discussing the Dharma with many senior monks, and the abbot often explains the Dharma with Xia Yunmo.

Time flies, ten days have passed.

On this day, the abbot of the abbot was personally explaining the Buddhist scriptures to Xia Yunmo.

"When contemplating the bodhisattva of self-contemplation, when he walks in the deep prajnaparamita, he sees that the five aggregates are empty, and he overcomes all suffering."

The abbot of the abbot of the abbot told Xia Yunmo the Heart Sutra, which was solemn and solemn, although it was not so chaotic, but it was worthy of his name as the abbot.

What's more, there is also a good incense in the room, which has the effect of calming the mind.

Even if you are a fierce and evil person, you should sit down and listen to the Buddha's voice at this time.

But Xia Yunmo is not a fierce and evil person, he is a Jianghu person.

He felt that the sound of Buddha was becoming more and more harsh, as if there were one hundred and eighty flies flying around in his ears.

He decided not to listen to the buzzing of the flies anymore.

Xia Yunmo opened his eyes, there was a hint of red in the depths of his eyes, and he suddenly slapped his palm lightly towards the abbot.

Although his palm was not full force, it was also fierce and abnormal, and the wind of his palm filled the entire room.

The abbot's wide sleeves fell, and he also lightly used a palm.

As soon as the two fleshy palms touched, a muffled sound sounded.

In an instant, the palms of the two separated again.

Xia Yunmo said with a smile: "The abbot is really good at kung fu. ”

The abbot shook his head and said, "Master Xia is really good kung fu." ”

Xia Yunmo said: "I have listened to the scriptures of the masters for more than ten days, but I still don't seem to have really stepped into Buddhism,"

The abbot said: "Although the donor is not serious about killing, he is not light on his murderous intentions. ”

Xia Yunmo said: "Then how can I become a Buddhist disciple who is truly proficient in Buddhism and purifies all sentient beings." ”

The abbot smiled bitterly and said, "If the donor can spend ten years cultivating Buddha and Buddha, it may be possible." ”

Xia Yunmo smiled: "It seems impossible. ”

The abbot said, "The donor can recite "My Buddha's Compassion" three times before each killing, and think carefully about whether it is necessary to kill. ”

Xia Yunmo thought for a while and said, "This method is not bad. ”

Xia Yunmo still went down the mountain, and the more he stayed on the Yuanfa Temple, the more uncomfortable he became.

He decided that from today onwards, he would not kill, but with compassion in mind, and try to purify all sentient beings.

However, he soon ran into a problem.

He was robbed again.

When I went down the mountain, I passed a remote path, and seven or eight robbers who were doing businessless suddenly came out of the path.

The one who took the lead said with a cruel smile: "I heard that a fat sheep came to Fayuan Temple, and he didn't bring a guard, it's you." ”

Another bandit said: "Tsk, it's still a little white face, maybe he can be sold as a rabbit master." ”

A group of bandits laughed unscrupulously, very happy, this is a big fat sheep.

Xia Yunmo lowered his eyebrows and bowed, and said in his mouth: "My Buddha is compassionate." ”

It is not clear whether the Buddha is merciful, but Xia Yunmo does not seem to be merciful.
