Once upon a time, there was a Yuanyin Temple, and many people went to worship the Buddha every day, and the incense was very prosperous. There is a spider on the beam in front of the temple that has made a web, and the spider has Buddha nature because it is surrounded by incense and devotional worship every day. After more than a thousand years of cultivation, the spider Buddha nature has increased a lot.

Suddenly, one day, the Buddha came to Yuanyin Temple, and he was very happy to see the incense here. When I left the temple, I inadvertently looked up and saw a spider on the beam. The Buddha stopped and asked the spider: "You and I are finally destined to meet, let me ask you a question, see what insights you have in your cultivation for more than a thousand years, how about it?" ”

The spider was very happy to meet the Buddha and hurriedly agreed. The Buddha asked, "What is the most precious thing in the world?" The spider thought for a moment and replied, "The most precious things in the world are 'not obtained' and 'lost'. The Buddha nodded and left.

In this way, another thousand years have passed, and the spider is still cultivating on the beam of the Yuanyin Temple, and its Buddha nature has greatly increased. One day, the Buddha came to the temple again and said to the spider: "Are you okay, do you have any deeper understanding of that problem a thousand years ago?" "I think the most precious things in the world are 'not obtained' and 'lost'. The Buddha said, "If you think about it again, I will come to you again." ”

Another thousand years passed, and one day, a strong wind blew, and the wind blew a drop of nectar onto the spider's web. The spider looked at the nectar and saw that it was crystal clear and beautiful, and suddenly loved it. The spider is happy to look at the nectar every day, and it feels that these are the happiest days in three thousand years. Suddenly, another gust of wind blew the nectar away. The spider suddenly felt that something had been lost, and felt very lonely and sad. At this time, the Buddha came again and asked the spider: "Spider, in the past thousand years, have you thought about this question: what is the most precious thing in the world?" The spider thought of the nectar and said to the Buddha, "The most precious things in the world are 'not obtained' and 'lost'. The Buddha said, "Okay, since you have such an understanding, I will let you go to the world for a while." ”

In this way, the spider was reincarnated into an official family and became a rich lady, and her parents named her Spider. In a flash, the spider reached the age of sixteen, and she had become a graceful girl, very beautiful and moving.

On this day, Sergeant Lang Ganlu, the emperor decided to hold a celebration banquet for him in the back garden. Many young girls came, including Spider, and the emperor's little princess, Princess Changfeng. Zhuang Yuanlang performed poetry and songs during the banquet, showing his talents, and all the girls present were overwhelmed by him. But Spider was not nervous or jealous at all, because she knew that this was a marriage given to her by the Buddha.

A few days later, it was a coincidence that when Spider accompanied her mother to worship the Buddha, it happened that Ganlu also accompanied her mother. After worshipping the Buddha after the incense, the two elders spoke on the side. Spider and Ganlu came to the corridor to chat, Spider was very happy and could finally be with the person she liked, but Ganlu did not show his affection for her.

Spider said to Ganlu, "Don't you remember what happened on the spider web in Yuanyin Temple sixteen years ago? Ganlu was very surprised, and said, "Spider girl, you are beautiful and very likable, but your imagination is a little richer." With that, he left with his mother.

When Spider came home, she thought to herself, since the Buddha had arranged this marriage, why didn't he let him remember it, and why didn't Ganlu have any feelings for me? A few days later, the emperor summoned and ordered the new champion Ganlu and Princess Changfeng to complete the marriage; Spider and Prince Zhicao got married. This news was like a thunderbolt in the sky for the spider, and she couldn't figure out how the Buddha would treat her like this.

For several days, she did not eat or drink, she was thinking about it, her soul was about to go out of her body, and her life was in danger. When the prince Zhicao knew, he hurried over, threw himself on the side of the bed, and said to the dying spider: "That day, among the girls in the back garden, I fell in love with you at first sight, and I begged my father for him to agree. If you die, then I don't live either. With that, he picked up his sword and prepared to kill himself.

At that moment, the Buddha came and said to the soul of the spider, "Spider, have you ever wondered who brought the nectar to you?" It was brought by the wind (Princess Changfeng), and it was the wind that took it away in the end. Ganlu belongs to Princess Changfeng, and he is just an episode in your life. And the prince Zhicao was a small grass in front of the gate of Yuanyin Temple back then, he looked at you for 3,000 years and admired you for 3,000 years, but you never lowered your head to look at it. Spider, let me ask you again, what is the most precious thing in the world? ”

After hearing these truths, the spider seemed to have an enlightenment at once, and she said to the Buddha: "The most precious thing in the world is not 'not obtained' and 'lost', but the happiness that can be grasped now!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Buddha left, and the soul of the spider also returned to its place, and when she opened her eyes, she saw the prince Zhicao who was about to kill herself, she immediately knocked down the sword and hugged the prince affectionately......
