The old monk said to the little monk again: "It is now the month of Layue, and there will be a bathing Buddha meeting on the Laba Festival, so prepare for it then!" ”

The so-called Buddha bathing meeting, which is a grand event of Buddhism, is usually held on the eighth day of the lunar month. On this day, the folk call Laba Festival, the Buddha called Sakyamuni Enlightenment Day, that is, Sakyamuni enlightenment day or Buddha enlightenment day, look at the name to know the meaning, this day is the day when the Buddha Shakyamuni practiced under the Bodhi tree to become a Buddha. Therefore, Buddhism in the world celebrates on the same day!

As an indispensable part of the Buddha's enlightenment day, in addition to bathing in the Buddha, it is this invitation to people all over the world to eat Laba porridge. The folk call it Laba porridge, but Buddhism calls it Qibao five-flavor porridge.

Later, from Buddhism to the world, there is now the custom of drinking Laba porridge on the Laba Festival.

"Laba Festival, Liuguang Temple seems to have never been held..."The little monk looked at the master of Duzen a little stupidly, and remembered his master, his old man is from Tianlong Temple, and has been talking about wanting to hold a formal bathing Buddha meeting, but unfortunately the Liuguang Temple is too small, and there is no influence around, so it is gone...

The little monk was sent to the front hall to entertain pilgrims because of his cute appearance, and people began to come one after another! Although it was winter, the weather was cold, the snow was heavy, and the mountain road was difficult to walk, and all the villagers who came were nearby, Xiao Lingjue was still very happy.

I cleaned the temple every day, watched the occasional pilgrims, and after a few words, I put on a stick of incense and made a wish.

December, the village likes to call it the wax moon.

In the wax moon, the incense of the Founder Temple is more vigorous, and people come almost every day! For the first time, Fang Zheng also had the feeling of being the presiding abbot, standing at the door every day, facing everyone's greetings, what kind of cool word was that?

December, the folk like to call it the wax moon.

In the wax moon, the incense of the Puzhen Temple is more vigorous, and people come almost every day! Xiao Lingjue is also in a good mood, standing at the door every day, facing everyone's greetings, what kind of cool word is that?

A pilgrim asked Xiao Lingjue, "Little Master, will you still hold the Laba Festival this year?" I've heard that many monasteries in the east have been cancelled and that this festival ......"

It is proved that what this pilgrim is talking about is the destruction of Buddha by the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, some small and medium-sized monasteries have even been completely exterminated, most of the monks have been forced to return to the world, and those large monasteries have also been forced to rectify and ban a series of Buddhist festivals.

Xiao Lingjue said with a smile: "Yes, the Laba porridge at this Buddha meeting is not only for eating, this porridge can wash people's souls, and at the same time sort out people's blood and spirit, make people radiant, and remove dark diseases!" Cure the disease, prevent the disease! The donor must come. ”

The pilgrim said with joy on his face: "It must be! ”

Suddenly, another pilgrim came, this person Xiao Lingjue is still fresh in his memory, it is Li Ping's father Li Shuangyang, Xiao Lingjue folded his hands, and said solemnly: "Master Li, I haven't seen you for many days, I miss it very much, is the donor in good health?" ”

Li Shuangyang said a little stupidly: "Fortunately, my son who is not angry has joined the army, but it has made me suffer less birdishness, and this body is naturally much better......"

said so, but his eyes betrayed him deeply.

Li Shuangyang smiled again: "Little master, I heard that you are going to hold the Laba Festival, do you need my help, I still have some spare money at home, and I can even help you make Laba porridge..."

Xiao Lingjue said righteously: "Donor, it is more meaningful for this Laba porridge to be cooked by the monk himself, and it is not appropriate to borrow other people's hands to complete it." ”

Li Shuangyang said: "There is still such a statement? ”

Xiao Lingjue nodded, Li Shuangyang gave up, Li Shuangyang said: "Okay, since your Puzhen Temple is going to hold a Buddha bathing meeting, then I will go back to help you publicize it and strive for a few more people." Well...... At least one of us will definitely be there! ”

Xiao Lingjue hurriedly thanked him and sent Li Shuangyang away.

At this time, Xiao Lingjue and a few senior brothers were called to the meditation room by Du Chan, Du Chan looked at the four of them with a straight face, and said: "Tomorrow, the four of you will each be responsible for cooking a pot of Qibao and five-flavor porridge, and then give it to the believers. ”

"Yes!" The four of them nodded, and after a moment, Wuhua scratched her head and said with some embarrassment: "Aren't the masters in the temple usually in charge of this grand event?" Although we can cook simple dishes, if we want to make it delicious, the Dharma we have comprehended is not enough! ”

Because those masters, when cooking porridge, will even chant Buddhist scriptures and participate in their own Dharma comprehension into those Laba porridges, so pilgrims who have drunk Laba porridge will feel that their bodies and minds have been cleansed, their hearts are empty, and they will even be placed in some dark diseases, and those who are sincere can also understand some Taoism from them.

Du Chan smiled and said, "I knew that you would have this question, hand me over, I will teach you a secret method, and I will definitely help you win." ”

Wuhua was overjoyed, and sure enough, the master still loved himself the most, so he generously handed his hand over.

looked at his master without fruit or doubt, and never saw him eccentric... How to ...... today

Master Du Chan picked up the brush, brushed and wrote a few brush words on the flowerless hand, and the regular script in one hand was really delicate and handsome.

"You're so enlightened, right?" As soon as the voice fell, he walked out of the meditation room.

Wuhua looked at the calligraphy in his hand in front of him, picked it up and looked at it, Wuhua's face turned green: "Master, this is the secret recipe you said?" ”

"Questions?" Master Watanzen asked as a matter of course.

Wuhua said: "Hehe...... No problem...... No problem, there is a ghost! There are four words on it, put it in the pot and add water! This is the secret ingredient? Master, can you just tell me no? As for the trickery? ”

Wuhua didn't dare to ask, but said lightly: "No problem, no problem..."

Du Chan said with a smile: "Laba porridge is originally a thing that our monks worship the Buddha, and it is a pity to lose it, as if a pot is boiled in a pot to form a unique porridge." Do you think you need any other means? If the other techniques are miscellaneous, it is not Laba porridge. As for the secret recipe, as long as you have a sincere heart, you will definitely be able to make Laba congee that satisfies the pilgrims. ”

Wuxin nodded and said: "The disciple knows, making Laba porridge does not require such exquisite ingredients, and cooking food with a sincere heart can be recognized by the pilgrims, and the disciple will definitely make it with heart." ”

Ever since he suddenly attained supernatural powers, he has had a deep understanding of the Dharma.

Xiao Lingjue also said with high morale: "That's right, the disciple should also make a pot of laba porridge with his heart." ”

secretly said in my heart: It is also to make up for a wish of my master.
