Chapter 264: Chongzhen Sets Up an Altar to Preach the "Tao" (Part 3)
At this time, a middle-aged man walked over, "Immortal Master, I am already married for the fifth time. Chong was really strange, and asked the reason clearly, it turned out that he thought the first wife was too fat, the second wife was too thin, the third wife had fox smell, the fourth wife was too hygienic, and the current wife was too lazy.
Chong was really sad, this man made her laugh again, she had to ask patiently: "The problem is yours, I guess, the first wife is clearly the best, she must be a prosperous husband, and she has a good temper and character, but you ignore her many advantages, so many wives in the future are the troubles she gives back to you." ”
What do you mean? Can you please give me a hexagram? Will my next wife be perfect? The man was puzzled and hurriedly asked. I'm sorry, but I never tell fortunes for others, but I just rely on the ink in my belly to solve everyone's doubts. Even if you have a lot of money, you can't stand to get married seven or eight or even ten times. Marriage is also a practice, to you such a belief is not firm, the will is also shaken, poor to send you a sentence in your heart is the best policy, 'the mind is not strong, the will is not long, halfway to give up and see the ugly; In the end, it is better to start with the whole beginning, how to get it without a beginning? ’”
The man asked Chong Zhen to give him some advice, and she had to be patient: "There is a kind of waste, called the squandering of emotions, maybe the ancients have a saying that is very suitable for you, 'less is gained, more is confused.'" If you can't tolerate this wife, the next one must be a woman who has been sent by God even more with her shortcomings. As for why wives are lazy? I think it must be that people have worked hard to serve you a few times, but you pretended to be blind and turned a blind eye, not only did not thank you, but blamed her for not doing it and that it was not good, causing her to be full of grievances, and she didn't want to work hard in the future, and she felt unfair when she saw what you didn't do. Also, if your mother has done all the big and small things, your wife will have nothing to do, and you will have to let the old man rest more in the future, as long as you two discuss and work, you will become very happy, right? ”
The man felt very reasonable, and thanked: "Thank you for the help of the Taoist, okay, this marriage, I will never leave again, and I will no longer make divorce jokes in the future!" "Yes, as the saying goes, 'There is only one and two, no three and four and five and six.' Chong Zhen was relieved, she asked Qiuyue to let the people rest on the spot for a while, and she was busy for a while, she stared at the soft and green pothos on the case, and smiled: "Actually, marriage is also simple, just like this bottle of water, you can sincerely nourish the plants in the bottle, water nourish plants, plants nourish water, plants and water together nourish the master's body and mind, love, is mutual." She instantly swept away the previous unhappiness, because she cleared the fog of his soul for this "bewilderer" in time, let him see his clear heart again, and return to his simple emotional life.
"Sister Immortal, this person is still lying on the ground, can I help him up?" Qiu Yue couldn't bear to look at his painful appearance and asked.
"Okay! Go get a chair and I'll pick it up for him later. Chong Zhen smiled,
A young man approached, and after giving a salute, he said indignantly: "Sister Immortal, you said that my neighbor got married, and his parents prepared a luxury carriage for him to marry the bride, but my parents didn't care at all, and even the donkey cart and ox cart didn't rent one for me, you said, how did my parents behave?" ”
Chong Zhen pondered: "There is another stunned young man who does not want to make progress and does not know how to be grateful, how is the Chinese culture of the Great Song Dynasty popularized?" After thinking about it, she said solemnly: "First of all, you have to thank your parents once for being born; Secondly, you were able to grow up and thank your parents again; Third, you are in good health, able to fall in love and get married, and thank your parents for once. Think about it: if it weren't for the hard work of your parents, would you have it all? The ancients said, 'Parents can do their best.' Correspondingly, 'children can fight for their lives.' The ancients mourned their parents and gave birth to me. (Note: 劬, pronounced the same as "ditch", the whole sentence means 'our parents have worked very hard to give birth to us.) ’)
"However, the same parents, why can they give face to their children? But am I going to marry the poor? "Well said, is face or interior important in life? Poor Dao feels that hard-working hands are face, and the happy life created by hands is our indestructible lining, living, already happy, living diligently, will be happier, you know? ”
These words touched the young man a lot, and he said excitedly: "Thank you sister for your advice, I will abandon this damn comparison, before, why did I always compare myself with others?" It turns out that 'the more thankful, the happier you are' makes sense. ”
"Immortal Master, my old lady is strange, isn't my Great Song proud of having a daughter and happy? She actually went back to the past, eating fasting and chanting Buddha every day, and she was worried about it, she said that she must move God, and asked Guanyin Bodhisattva to send a great-grandson to the family, how we persuade her, what should we do? A lady asked for help.
"Oh, there is such a thing! You go back and tell her that it is not easy to give birth to a child, and the pain of childbirth is just as deep; Boys and girls worry about as much. Vegetarian and vegetarian, only vegetarian in his previous life was full of sins! If you are good, why do you toss around? Besides, a filial daughter is a disobedient son! If your old family drags down your body, it is the burden of your children. ”
"Immortal Master, she is so knowledgeable, I must tell her word for word when I go back, thank you very much!" The eldest lady said goodbye satisfied.
It's an old man, why not? As soon as Chong Zhen saw his eyes, she knew that in the face of some cloudy eyes, her heart suddenly swelled with awe of time. Interestingly, in order to exchange ideas with the immortals, he actually put on makeup and wore the clothes of the afterlife, Chong really couldn't bear to break the cunning of the old man, who is not old?
"What is the matter, sir?" "Immortal Master, may I ask how to understand the sentence? All living beings are Buddhas, and I have always been the only Bodhisattva in the temple who is a Buddha! ”
Chong Zhen thought: This old man is also frank, he might as well treat the real person with the truth and worship the true God with true feelings, and said happily: "The poor way is like this, in the moment of crisis, someone encounters difficulties, and the person who reaches out in time by his side is his Buddha, for example, when he goes downstairs, someone only cares about walking and ignores the surrounding road conditions, and the person who reminds him to pay attention to safety is his Buddha, this Buddha, can be parents, or not. It can be a spouse or not. It can be a friend or a stranger. In addition to sentient beings, all things are also Buddhas, a person who is about to die of thirst and starvation, a glass of water and a fruit are his life-saving Buddhas. ”
The gentleman was shocked and admired and said: "Immortal Dao is Immortal Dao, I see that you are young and have unique knowledge, and you admire it!" ”
"That's a bad word, sir, you're a young man!" With that, both of them smiled understandingly.
"Affection, stop at etiquette. Do you know that? ”
"I know, I know, Rao Xiandao is not to kill! Pick it up for me! Otherwise, my tigress will scold me!" The man pleaded pitifully.
"Bad guys have their own bad guys, you know?" Chong Zhen said seriously.
After picking it up, the man's voice trembled, "Immortal Master, can I go?" ”
"Where is it so easy? When you come to the Royal Taoist Academy, you will be baptized at a high level, and the Taoist scriptures are also scriptures, and I will teach you a sentence, which you have to recite a hundred times, so that you can reform and become a person who is happy with everyone. ”
So, the man really recited obediently: "All the people in the world love each other, the strong do not cling to the weak, the many do not rob the widows, the rich do not insult the poor, the noble do not insult the poor, the noble do not deceive the foolish, and the man is not a woman." After reading it over and over again, on the way home, I felt remorseful in my heart, and scolded loudly: "Hey, this Taoist is really knowledgeable, why did he fall under her door?" It seems that good flowers can only be seen, if you want to pick them, be careful of encountering barb thorns! A big thorn that is more poisonous than the thorn of the moon flower rose! ”

"What a sense of accomplishment today! It seems that reading more books is indeed very beneficial, not only to enrich yourself, but also to make others happy. ”
