The Daxiong Treasure Hall is solemn and solemn, but outside the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the scattered monks are a little casual. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Groups of monks in groups of three or five, seven or eight groups, each gathered outside the Daxiong Treasure Hall, or stood solemnly under the eaves, or meditated on the flat ground, or leaned on the shade of the trees at will, although they were gossiping, but everyone's attention was basically on the Daxiong Treasure Hall.
When the voice of the abbot Cihe reached the ears of the monks at the entrance of the hall through the doors and windows of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, it was only a moment before all the monks of the Shaolin Temple knew that the abbot master was going to discuss the five precepts with the young man.
"Senior brother, aren't these five precepts the five precepts, what's there to talk about!" Under the shade of the tree, a monk asked next to him.
"I don't know much about this, but is it still about the Buddha's principles contained in these five precepts!"
"The abbot's Buddhist cultivation is actually measured by you and me!" An avid fan of the abbot folded his hands and said, "The abbot must have a reason for asking this!" ”
"yes..."
・・・
Hearing the discussion of the people around him, the monk who led the dusk up the mountain frowned slightly, looked at the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and his eyes flashed with worry.
"Senior Brother Tianxian, look at how this little guy is, can there be any hope to stay!" It was also one of the monks who asked that day.
"It's easy to stay, but in what capacity you want to stay, it's hard to say!" Thinking of the young man's nervous appearance, the monk sighed and said.
As a rare insider, Tianxian clearly knows what these three competitions mean to teenagers.
Inside the Daxiong Treasure Hall.
Sure that the abbot wants to discuss the five precepts with himself, dusk breathed a sigh of relief, your sister, with the experience of three years of high school, four years of college, and a full seven years of "sleeping talks", can't you say one, two, three for these things, isn't it a debate competition, haven't you ever eaten pork if you haven't seen a pig run, the east wind blows, the war drums are beating, and who is afraid of whom!
Finding a comfortable position, Dusk raised his hand and said confidently: "Please!" ”
"Please!" The abbot's eyes moved, and he said: "One is not to kill, two is not to steal, three is not adultery, four is not lying, and five is not drinking. ”
"No killing, no stealing, no sexual immorality, no lying, no drinking!" Seeing the abbot throwing out his own arguments, Dusk naturally couldn't agree, so what else to argue, in the slightly surprised eyes of the monks, he said softly: "These five precepts, nonsense!" ”
"Oh..." The abbot raised his eyebrows, glanced at Master Wujing, who had already squinted his eyes, and said: "The little donor thinks that the five precepts are nonsense, you know, this is the door rules and precepts of my Buddhism for thousands of years!" ”
Good boy, I originally thought that he would perfunctory the abbot, talk casually, and drag this competition to forget it, but I didn't expect him to really dare to go toe-to-toe with the abbot and have a face-to-face debate, no matter what the result is, the impression that this kid gave to the monks, unconsciously, made them appreciate it even more!
"Indeed!" Nodding, although Dusk knew that he was indeed too reckless to say this, but in this case, he could also say black to white, and under the nervousness, he directly preemptively attacked, and without waiting for the abbot to continue to ask, Dusk asked rhetorically: "Since the abbot thinks this is a great good, then may I ask..."
"These five precepts, what is the explanation!"
Nonsense, don't ask first and wait for the abbot to ask himself, dusk and not stupid, he knows the name of the five precepts, as for the meaning of the containment, the system is a little weak.
What is the specific meaning of the five precepts is difficult for dusk, but for the abbot, it is simple.
"The husband is still in the world: benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith," I didn't expect the young man to be so direct, but after glancing at the sweat stains on his forehead at dusk, the abbot did not dwell on this matter, and said with a smile: "Knowledge: killing, stealing, fornication, delusion, and wine." Taoism and customs are obedient and gradually taught. Therefore, those who are benevolent do not kill, those who are righteous do not steal, those who are obsessed with etiquette are not lewd, those who keep the faith are not delusional, those who are wise do not drink alcohol, and the sgai is transformed for a while. See those who do not kill, do not seek kindness but are benevolent; Those who do not steal will not be righteous and redressed; Those who do not commit adultery do not pray but prostrate; He who is not delusional does not believe in faith but believes; Those who don't drink alcohol can't be wise, and wisdom can be described as a syllabus. What a plus! ”
The voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of every monk, and the abbot talked with a gentle tone, as if telling the shortcomings of the parents, which made people can't help but feel cordial.
That's it, a remark, slowly came out of the abbot's mouth, saying that the monks in the temple were listening attentively, and they also said that they were in the clouds and fog at dusk, and they felt that they were tall, but they didn't understand.
"Well said!" After swallowing his saliva, after applauding the fat man at dusk, he thought about it and went directly to the first precept and asked, "What is not killing!" ”
"It is said that if a person kills other sentient beings in vain, and takes their lives, he will die and fall into the evil way; or in the living, they also have a short lifespan. If you don't do it, you won't kill it! ”
Dusk pretended to shake her head, touched her chin, and whispered, "Oh! ”
"Among all the remaining sins, killing karma is the heaviest!" The abbot looked at the dusk with a smile and said: "There are many killings in the world, so there are swords and soldiers, killing your body, burning your house with money, separating your wife, once breaking his lair, retribution is equal, wash your ears and listen to the Buddha!" ”
"Please say..."
Hearing this, the old monk in the monk couldn't help laughing, this little guy thought he really knew a lot about the five precepts, but now it seems that he knows the surface!
"To all sentient beings, be fearless, this is good!" Shaking his head, the abbot folded his hands together and recited: "Always be with all beings, have great compassion, these two goodness; Break everything forever, resentment and habits, these three goodness; Impermanent disease, these four virtues; Long life, these five virtues; Constant protection for non-humans, these six goodness; There are no nightmares, sleep happily, these seven goodness; Eliminate grievances, resolve grievances, these eight virtues; There is no evil and fear, these nine goodness; Destiny ascends to heaven, these ten goodness, so it is said, this is a great good! ”
"Amitabha!" Hearing the abbot's explanation, all the monks in the hall couldn't help but chant a Buddha name, and the meaning of compassion filled the entire hall.
"I'm going..." scolded in his heart, he didn't expect to ask casually, this abbot can withdraw so much, this strength, even if it is put in reality, I'm afraid he is also a super debater, but, even if he is a high-ranking monk, he can't just disarm and surrender, no way, hard!
"That's a mistake!" Forcibly breaking the atmosphere in the hall, his mind turned, ignoring the angry eyes of the old monks around him at dusk, and said loudly: "Master Abbot, the Buddha has clouds, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground, whether or not!" ”
"Yes, too!" Seeing that this little guy still had the power of his backhand, the abbot nodded and said, "But what does this have to do with not killing!" ”
"Okay, may I ask the abbot," sorted out his thoughts, Dusk frowned, began to expound his opinion, and said: "For example, if there is a person named Tu and kills another person named Knife and his family is full of family, then this slaughter is not considered a serious sin!" ”
"Of course!" Abbot Road.
"Then if you meet the Buddha after the slaughter, be enlightened by the Buddha, put down the butcher's knife, and repent with all your heart, and wish to always accompany the Buddha in front of the green lantern scroll, so as to redeem the sins of the past, is this trip okay!" Dusk asked.
"Yes!" The abbot replied.
Hearing the abbot's answer, a smile hung on the corner of Dusk's mouth, Hmph, you don't care if you have a deep Buddhist cultivation, but you haven't fallen into my trap yet, Dusk said secretly in his heart. Next, it's time to witness... uh, it's time to make the ultimate!
