Chapter 5 There are always some old people, and some words make people think and cry
"Lou Zhi Wei Dao, do you know your mistake?" Leading the apprentice to walk slowly, the old monk looked very thoughtful.
"In vain, in vain know your mistakes." 'The master never called me by my full name like that, is there really something wrong with me?' ’
"Today I am really sad and disappointed, not for you, but for myself." Slowly slowing down, the old monk's wrinkled face leaned slightly towards the sky, as if recalling something.
"Master, all the mistakes are my fault, how could you be wrong?" Hugging the master forward, Lou Zhiwei Tuo has not been so close to the master for a long time, but he has never been so far away.
"Today, in fact, when you go out, I will be behind you."
"That? Bro? ”
"That's right, I also know about your junior brother, after all, what can you children hide from me? Although my eyes are not good, the old monk's heart is clear. Looking at his apprentice, the old monk touched his face.
"Then why didn't the master punish him! Didn't the master take the precepts into account! Master, I'm so disappointed in you! Letting go of his hand, Lou Zhi Wei Tuo stepped back, and his puffing appearance made the old monk laugh.
"Alas, disciple, you must know that in this world, in addition to the principles of cultivation, there are many principles of life. Disciple, you are the most gifted disciple in the entire good and evil return to the origin for thousands of years, and you are also the disciple I am most worried about. ”
"Ahh The disciples eat fasting and chant Buddha every day, and practice martial arts. How can you make the master worry? Obviously, this guy is the most angry with the master, but the master never gets angry with him, master, you are really partial. ”
"Then, why don't you, who eat fasting and pray for the Buddha, have no compassion? Don't be in a hurry to refute, tell the master, who have you remembered in the past 17 years? Of the people you have dealt with in the past seventeen years, who have you known the most and who have you been the worst? ”
"This? This...... This. It has nothing to do with practice, master. ”
"Disciple, you have to remember that before the Buddha became a Buddha, he was also a person. He was the son of his parents, a friend of others, a teacher of his students, and a guest of the vendors. You never say a word to a female benefactor, do you? ”
"Yes, master, I'm also afraid" Touching his bald head, Lou Zhi Wei Tuo suddenly felt that in the past seventeen years, there was really no one who remembered. Women, in particular, are not impressed at all.
"What are you afraid of, it's not other people's gossip? But isn't this a loss of equality, isn't this the karma in your heart? Lou Zhi Wei Dao, you are too self-loving, and your heart is too high, you know, you and I are not above the world. The reason why I entrusted your brother to you to supervise and teach him is why not let him educate you? ”
"But the junior brother will only make mistakes, and he won't listen to any education, and you are still partial to him, master."
"Well, do you know what my most painful day is? It's today. Disciple, I specially called you here, and you didn't find anything? ”
"The poor benefactor is blind."
"So, aren't you blind in your eyes? A person you see often, when she is gone, you didn't ask properly? Your brother is more discerning than you. ”
"That one is going to give to her!"
"Then you don't want to go quickly." "Got it, master."
As if it was a sudden realization, Lou Zhi Wei Dao took out all the money and walked into the house. Looking at the back of his disciple, the old monk was not pleased, and sighed again: "Alas. ”
Sure enough, after a burst of chickens and dogs, the fuji hurriedly ran out.
"Are you confused?"
"Hmm. Master, why doesn't she want my money, and wants me to get out. This woman doesn't have a brain problem. ”
"Son, if you say bad things about people behind your back, you will go to hell with your tongue pulled."
"Sin, sin, sin. I'll apologize right away. ”
"Don't worry. Disciples, you must know that the reason why a person is a human being is because he has self-respect and self-love, so every real person is a lotus seed with Buddha fate, all over all sentient beings. ”
"Well, the apprentice gave her the silver to hurt her self-esteem."
"You can teach this girl, this girl has been raising chickens for a living since she lost her sight, and every time your junior brother comes, he does not come to show kindness, but to talk to this girl about business, he does not regard this girl as disabled, and this girl has also received something more important than money from your junior brother. And by doing so, you are destroying a Buddha. ”
"No wonder." I didn't expect this guy to have such a side. "Then I'll go to this girl again and buy chickens."
"Go, go, go." Seeing the apprentice enter the room again, the old monk nodded and shook his head again. After a while, the futile came out again.
"Master, hey, hey, hey." Touching his bald head, Lou Zhi Wei Tuo, who was still a teenager, lowered his head embarrassedly. "Master, is there a copper plate?"
"Looks like you've found out, too. Do you understand why your brother wants to convert the silver into copper plates? ”
"The apprentice understands that the girl can only judge the authenticity of the money by touching her hands, so she can only accept the copper plate."
"Yes, your junior brother, but I found out the first time. He's always used copper plates. Lou to Wei Tuo, you get close to the Buddha the fastest, but it is also the farthest from the Buddha. Because you're not merciful enough. ”
"So, what my junior brother needs me to learn is respect for ordinary people and compassion for all things, right, master."
"Go buy two chickens and apologize to your junior brother."
"Huh? But. "Go quickly."
…………
In the evening, a little smoke rises and divides the chickens with the children who help. Ignorant of cause and effect, of course, he prefers to call himself Yehu Chan. wiped his mouth with his dirty sleeve, and prepared to go back to listen to the master's lecture. I really don't know if it's true that I saw my master crying in the morning, should it be a dream? ’
"Cause and effect, what are you thinking?" "Nothing, master, master! I, I, I, I saw a few children stealing chickens to eat, and I came to catch them! ”
"Senior brother, don't say it, I know it with my master." Focus on pronunciation on both.
"Ah, master, I was wrong. Ay? Senior brother, don't you also hold two chickens, haha, stinky old bald, you shouldn't be caught stealing chickens by the master, right? Eh, master, the stinky old bald is not used to talk about your old man. ”
"It's okay, these two chickens are here to reward you. Forget it, let's eat together. ”
"Master, you're not crazy, ah, the apprentice didn't mean to say you, I'm just, anyway, I will never eat it from Lou to Wei Tuo."
…………
Before going to bed that night, Lou Zhi Wei Dao felt that he must be crazy today, and he actually committed a ban on eating chicken with his master and brother. However, the relationship with his junior brother is indeed much better, which makes him very happy. And the junior brother was so obedient for the first time today, obediently washing his feet and going to bed, although it still stinks.
"Hey, stinky brother, I can't sleep."
"What's the matter, junior brother?"
"Alas, you don't even scold me?"
"Hmph, if there's something to say, don't say I'm sleeping."
"Do you know, today I was there singing and saw the master crying."
The master cried. With this sentence, the words of the master after leaving the hut appeared in the heart of Lou Zhiwei Dao. "Do you know, boy? Today, I cried a lot. Don't be surprised, the master is a human after all, and people will cry. A long time ago, my parents died and we were living on the streets. ”
"Ah, the master is so miserable?"
"Yes, thanks to the help of well-wishers, I survived in the market."
"I can't see it at all, I thought my master, you grew up in the temple like me. Obviously, the master is so cultivated. How so? ”
"Cultivation is acquired. The master can have this cultivation thanks to you. Because when I was a child, Lou Zhiwei wanted me to be a polite and erudite teacher, so I became the person in your heart. Not only do children want to become the perfect child in the minds of their parents and teachers, but parents and teachers also want to become the most perfect person in their children's hearts. Before you came, I was chic, eating and drinking every day, how could I have worked so hard. ”
"Master~" "Don't cry, don't cry, you've been so good since you were a child, and you've never let me down, but it's not a good thing." That's why I took your junior brother. In my opinion, cause and effect is my retrospective past, and you are an extension of the master's future. Master, when I was a child, the drama I hated the most was Farewell My Concubine, because everything was gone, and I hated this coward for hundreds of years, which made me unable to let go for a long time. Until today, I saw Xiang Yu and Yu Ji retreating, Xiang Yu was not alone to fight out of the encirclement, but two people lived a happy life, which made me also unravel a heart, the key is that people have to forgive themselves, Lou Zhi Wei Dao, are you willing to forgive the master's past? ”
"Hello? Stinky old bald, why are you in a daze? "It's nothing, junior brother, would you like to join me in the Wankai Forum in three years?"
"Huh? Do you have a burning brain? How can you talk like that? ”
"Nothing, just forgave my past self."
"And, don't speak human words."
…………
The next day, the two went grocery shopping as usual.
"Little bald donkey, what do you say? Are you calling Lou to Vedas? Did you hit our young master? ”
Looking at a few big men who came up, and then looking at the junior brother who was sweating profusely with an apologetic face, Lou Zhi Wei Tuo thought to himself: "Amitabha, I really got dizzy after eating meat, how could I forgive this kind of guy, and it was better to drive him out of the temple." ”
