Chapter 23: Seeking Buddha

The Boy and the Dove

"Mom, why is Dad gone?" Because Dad still has something to do. "Mom, when will Daddy come back" "In the summer, when the lotus flowers bloom, he will come back. "Mom, doesn't Dad have a big house? Why don't you pick us up and stay there? "Well, Dad will pick us up when he comes back this time." Mom, why is there no father's name on the household register? "How can there be his name, that man is also someone else's father!"

The old clock in the room was ticking, the lotus flowers in front of the door were blooming, and the sunset in the sky was rising, stretching the child into a teenager, shortening the mother and losing her face, and the man who promised to return when the lotus flowers bloomed in the summer disappeared forever on the horizon.

"Mom, I'm looking for Dad." Why bother! Maybe he has his own troubles. "What kind of hardship can make Mom abandon us。。。。。。?" ''Mom, Daddy never loved us?'' "Child, don't ask Mommy, Mommy doesn't know"

So the boy rushed out of the house, and yes he had the firmest reason in the world to do so. He believed that he was righteous, and that the man should kneel down to him and repent. In this way, the boy carried a flame through the fields, through the road, through the traffic, he kept running, he could not stop. Because of the fire in his heart, he was uncomfortable and suffocated, and he couldn't wait to grow a pair of wings and fly in front of that man. In this way, a teenager came to a city alone, without relatives, maybe it was wrong.

The next time the boy saw the man was at the man's birthday dinner. The boy thought he would say everything and ruin this ruthless fellow. But he didn't, and the boy saw the man, the father, pushing his wife, a legless woman into the meeting, and in an instant he understood everything, and the man saw the boy's expression change from surprise to calm until he closed his eyes. When he opened it again, the boy was gone. No one found out about it, no one knew about it, just like a teenager didn't know why he was leaving.

It was already dark, the birds had returned to their nests, the wild dogs had returned to their nests, and the hurried passers-by were hurrying home. But boy, where should he go? At this moment a white dove was curled up on the corner of the street, and the boy lifted him up. It was not a carrier pigeon, and it was wounded, presumably abandoned by its owner. It's so pitiful, it's the same as me. The boy placed the wounded white dove on his chest, and a warmth made him feel the presence of life. That's right! "I still have a family, a mother, a father, and I don't have nothing. The boy thought, and then began to run, and began to shout: Mom, I have seen my father, and he gave me a white pigeon, my father's pigeon, and we can write to him later, mother, pigeon, father's pigeon。。。。。。。。。。 ”

"Seeking Buddha"

The Buddha said; Young man, why do you shave?

Juvenile; I want to become a Buddha,

The Buddha said; Young man, why did you become a Buddha,

Juvenile; When I become a Buddha, I will be free from the seven emotions and six desires, and the worldly fate and dust

Buddha laughs; It is not that if you become a Buddha, you can be free from the seven emotions and six desires, and the worldly dust, but the person who has cut off the worldly dust, mortals call it a Buddha

Juvenile; Pray for the Buddha's enlightenment

The Buddha said; Can you be refined in a lifetime?

Juvenile; If there is an afterlife, please turn me into a tree, the tree has no heart, the heartless has no desire, the one who has no desire has no desire, and the one who has no desire has no worldly fate.

So the boy became a tree, which blossomed for three thousand years, bore fruit for three thousand years, and grew old for three thousand years.

Juvenile; In this life, if you cultivate as a tree without a heart, and cultivate for 10,000 years, can you become a Buddha?

Buddha laughs; Why do you wait for 10,000 years?

Juvenile; indissoluble

The Buddha said; Your 3,000-year-old flowers bloom and thank you, just to wait for someone destined to look back.

Juvenile; If there is an afterlife, I wish to be water, and the water has neither heart nor form, and will definitely have no fate.

So the boy turned into a drop of water, landed, landed, evaporated, and left only a piece of salt.

Juvenile; In this life, I am formless and heartless for water, cut off from the earth, can I become a Buddha?

Buddha gaze; Then you can know what the water source of this world is

Juvenile; indissoluble

Buddha sighed; It is the tears shed by people who are destined to meet you in your life, and her tears are the water that you have turned into in this life.

Young Mo Yan

The Buddha said; Young man, why did you shave?

Juvenile; The loved one marries someone else, and the heart dies

The Buddha said; There is no Buddha in his heart, but he cultivates a peerless Shura, and it can be known that the Buddha cultivates the fate of all beings.

Juvenile; Solution, if the Buddha has an afterlife, I want to turn it into a tooth of a destined person

The Buddha said; What a solution

Juvenile; So at least she'll hurt when I leave。。。。。
