Chapter 21 Jizo Sutra
Following the monk Tianyuan, dusk came to the staircase leading to the second floor. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Through the gap in the stairwell, looking up at dusk, you can faintly see a little yellow curtain footing, floating, making people want to explore it. That is the holy place of martial arts that everyone in the rivers and lakes yearns for in Old Man Jin's book! Dusk thought to herself.
Hearing that there was no movement behind him, he turned his head to take a look, and found that the young man was stretching out his head, leaning over and looking upward, Monk Tianyuan couldn't help but smile lightly, and said: "Okay, Senior Brother Kongming, you are now looking at the stairs, and it is impossible to climb to the second floor, if you really want to go to the second floor to have a look, it is better to ask the abbot for instructions, in that case, senior brother, I can accompany you up to have a look!" ”
"No, no, no..." didn't take Senior Brother Tianyuan's words seriously, he just opened Shaolin, and it was already good to be able to enter the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and he wanted to enter the second floor inch by inch, even if it was under the nose of Tianyuan Monk and Senior Brother Wukong, it was impossible to sneak in martial arts classics at dusk, but the impact was always bad, and he came to Shaolin just to learn martial arts.
"Then since you understand, don't stand here..." Monk Tianyuan turned around and said, "Come with me, this is it..."
Watching the monk Tianyuan turn the stairs and go around to the back, Dusk felt reluctant to forget the last look on the second floor, rubbed his neck that was a little sore, and came to the back of the stairs.
There is not much space under the staircase, and a few futons and a long table are placed. The long table is also very simple, with two or three brushes, an ink inkstone, a stack of paper, and a scripture.
The long table is placed on the back of the staircase, facing the wall of the Scripture Pavilion, and on the wall, a small translucent grille is specially opened, so that the outside light can just be projected on the long table.
This place is the place where the monk Tianyuan usually transcribes scriptures.
Looking at the grille that seemed to be specially made for transcribing scriptures, Dusk asked strangely: "Senior Brother Tianyuan, looking at the place, do you often come here to transcribe scriptures!" ”
Dusk's words made Tianyuan couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and in Dusk's slightly shocked gaze, he whispered: "It's not often, it's every day..."
Sighing, Monk Tianyuan smiled and said: "Since the poor monk is in charge of cleaning the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, in the past forty years, except during the period of leaving the temple, the rest of the time has never been interrupted, and he has come here to transcribe every day!" ”
In the past forty years, are you kidding me, my personal rub, according to Senior Brother Tianyuan's situation, all the scriptures in the entire Tibetan Scripture Pavilion have probably been copied by him. Doesn't that mean that "Jiuyang True Scripture", Senior Brother Tianyuan has already discovered it, or that now in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, there is no existence of "Jiuyang True Scripture" at all.
"Senior brother, for more than forty years, you have read all the scriptures!" Dusk suppressed the turbulent waves in his heart and asked tentatively.
Seeing that Monk Tianyuan shook his head with a smile, Dusk breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"But senior brother, you have been transcribing for more than forty years, and although there are many scriptures in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, they are almost only about 10,000 volumes..."
With a slight smile, the monk Tianyuan explained: "If it is just transcription, then more than 40 years is indeed enough, but cultivating Buddhism is the same as cultivating martial arts, do not swallow dates, read everything, learn everything, I study Buddhist scriptures, not simply for the sake of transcription." ”
Hearing this, Dusk understood, Senior Brother is not copying books here, but to learn Buddhist scriptures, under this premise, while copying, while studying, this speed, but it is slower than simple transcription I don't know how many times, no wonder for more than 40 years, Senior Brother Tianyuan still failed to read these 10,000 volumes of scriptures.
"In fact, a scripture book is enough for my generation to study..." After clasping his hands together and sighing lightly, the Tianyuan monk smiled at the corner of his mouth and said softly: "It's just that the poor monk is not good at Buddhism, and he can only improve his Buddhist cultivation by relying on the extensive scriptures!" ”
"Senior brother is humble..." Dusk also smiled: "Forty years is like a day, studying scriptures, I think even in our Shaolin, there are few people who can do it, not only in the past forty years, how many scriptures have my brother studied..."
"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, the poor monk only studies one-tenth of the scriptures in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion!" There was no concealment, and Monk Tianyuan said with a guilty face.
Looking at the shame on Senior Brother Tianyuan's face, Dusk was really speechless, one-tenth, that is, more than a thousand volumes of scriptures, you know, this is not a simple copy, but a study, can be more than forty years like a day, studying Buddhist scriptures in the window, if in reality, Senior Brother Tianyuan must be a god-level scholar-level existence.
"My Buddhist scriptures are vast, even if they are poor, I am afraid it will be difficult to study all the scriptures, why should you be ashamed, senior brother!" Good words and persuasion, Dusk doesn't want to be a quiet and indifferent senior brother who can't extricate himself from the sea of Buddhist scriptures.
However, it is obvious that the worry of dusk is superfluous, and the daily study of Buddhist scriptures by the monk Tianyuan has become a part of his life, just like drinking water and eating, although it seems to be normal, but it has long been inseparable.
This is also why, among the five most proud disciples of Abbot Wubai, as the fourth disciple of Tianyuan Monk, his martial arts cultivation is far inferior to the other four, and even compared to some of the teachers and nephews of the Juezi generation, but he is Abbot Wubai's favorite disciple. Because, in the eyes of the abbot, the monk Tianyuan, who has been studying the Buddhist scriptures for decades, is the most Buddha-like one among all the disciples.
"Senior brother rest assured..." Hearing the persuasion of Senior Brother Kongming, Monk Tianyuan smiled indifferently and said, "Yunshu clouds roll and follow the wind, Senior Brother wake up!" ”
Dusk sighed softly, he was really afraid that the monk Tianyuan would go crazy to study the Buddhist scriptures, after all, there were many people in his previous life, and because of studying one thing for a long time, he finally studied himself in a mental hospital.
"Senior brother, are you sure you want to transcribe the scriptures..." After telling his experience, the monk Tianyuan saw the young man's shocked appearance and said: "After all, this is not a matter of one or two days, it needs to be persevered!" ”
"Senior brother, don't worry, I don't transcribe the scriptures for the purpose of studying the Dharma, just to understand the Buddhist scriptures..."
"That's fine..." Nodding, Monk Tianyuan said, "Then from now on, you can copy the scriptures here!" ”
"Uh, what about you, senior brother..." Dusk looked around and said a little strangely.
"Senior brother go upstairs to transcribe..." Stretching out his hand and pointing upward, Monk Tianyuan said with a smile.
"Well, then thank you Senior Brother Tianyuan..." thanked Monk Tianyuan, and asked at dusk: "I want to copy the Buddhist scriptures, I don't know if Senior Brother has any recommendations!" ”
"Since you are a beginner, then copy the "Dizang Sutra" now!" After thinking for a while, Monk Tianyuan proposed.
"Jizo Sutra..."
