Chapter 253: Parents Are the First Buddha (Part II)
After a while, looking at the pawns who were busy on the dock day and night, Concubine Wen also saw a little Zen, and blurted out: "Daddy, look, how hard they work!" I still think I'm the happiest, as the ancients said: 'Be contented and happy, and be self-exalted without seeking quality.' ''Sitting idly does not know the hardships of wearing the stars and the moon, and it is difficult to swallow chaff and swallow vegetables for food. No matter how hard I am, I still do what I like, not to mention that I don't get up early and work late like them, and I earn less. ”
"My family is like a monk, with compassion everywhere, and her own sweetness is easy to push the suffering of others." Dad praised, "But you are not a bird, how can you know the pain and joy of a bird?" In the face of the ups and downs of the royal family, the alternation of yin and yang, maybe those pawns secretly rejoiced, thinking that fortunately they did not send their daughters into the palace, and the people can casually worship the Buddha and pray to God or drink talisman water to get rid of diseases. ”
"Yes, they only care about carrying the goods, they eat when they should eat, and they receive the wages when they should receive the wages, regardless of whether they are hard-earned money or not! Unlike you, you have to come up with a Taoist for everything, and then you give up, maybe the pawns think that you Taoists are tired! "Mother.
"Ahh Daddy! Mother! You are the master of the Tao, I am the Tao, you are the Buddha, the Tao is one foot high, the Buddha is one foot high, the Buddha is one long, the Taoist is really unable to escape the palm of the Buddha, please accept the apprentice! Those present laughed again, and the laughter was a little touching!
Dad remembered that his daughter said "you can sweep the floor" just now, and pondered: "This child, is it born to be hard-working, and asked uneasily: "Qingqing Daoist, what do you realize from sweeping the floor?" I really want to know as a father. ”
Concubine Wen said casually: "Sweeping the floor, there are many ways, 'The world sweeps the snow in front of the door, who cares about the frost on the tiles of others.'" A sentence that expresses the selfishness and normalcy of the secular society, but there seems to be a little truth, no matter how much frost is on the tiles of others, can you sweep it away with only one pair of hands? Therefore, you still have to do your own thing, and others will not think about cleaning the frost for you. I want to say that the Tao of my enlightenment, reality, is as solid and dignified as the earth, as if it never changes, in fact, time is like a broom, it will always sweep away all people's happiness and unhappiness without hurrying or slowing. So, I think that all people are passers-by in the world, and they don't have to worry about everything. I remember a certain monk in history who wrote, 'Why sweep the floor?' For the sake of pure land. What is a pure land? For the sake of meditation, what is meditation? Only when the mind is calm can we see all sentient beings, and only when we can see sentient beings can we penetrate life and death, and have a heart of respect for heaven and earth, and the heart is free from obstacles, without hanging, without fear, and away from upside-down dreams, and in the end Nirvana. 'All beings, their own lives, cannot escape the curse of time, so why can't they get along with themselves? ”
"Qing'er has indeed grown a lot, and I am really happy to be a father."
Seeing his parents bowing their heads and pondering, they pondered: How can I make my parents unhappy when I become a monk, and I have to say some inexplicable Buddhist Chinese, which is really unfilial. Thinking about it, she immediately said with a smile: "Daddy, thousands of points, filial piety first, inextricably linked, gratitude first, every time I hold a broom, I am full of gratitude to you, I actually have such a beautiful pair of hands, ten fingers are slender, like willow silk, even if I hold two brooms, it is more than enough!" Why are you so capable? ”
"You kid, you'll never be in shape, when will you grow up?" Mother said, and then, Daddy and Mother were already laughing uncontrollably!
"Daddy, do you know why the Bodhisattva always lowers his brows?"
"I don't know, what's so important about this?"
"There are too many unsatisfactory things in this world, such as those who seek children, daughters, rain, promotions, fortunes, high school, sickness, marriage, marriage, fat, and so on. The Bodhisattva only has one head and one heart, how can he manage it? ”
"That's a problem. Therefore, it is better to seek the Buddha than to seek yourself. "Daddy.
"Yes, it is enough for people to live for a lifetime, compared with cicadas, in terms of the length of time, it is already many times that of them. People should still live happily, some things are unsatisfactory, forget it, why bother to get along with yourself, and why go to the Bodhisattva to find trouble with others. Niang Dao, as if she was comforting Concubine Wen's abolition.
"Niangniang, since the Bodhisattva is so indifferent, why are they still smiling?" Qiu Yue showed a puzzled look and said.
"He just wants all sentient beings to know one thing, the most beautiful scenery is in our hearts, why bother to ask others, why bother to ask for the Bodhisattva, although he is not willing to let him beg him to bow down to him for the rest of his life, but as the embodiment of compassion, he longs for all sentient beings to cultivate everyone into his smiling appearance."
"Oh! Children are really not simple, and we have learned again. Dad complimented.
"So, Qing'er, sometimes mosquitoes attack us, what's annoying, how to resolve it?"
"Daddy, sweep the floor, therefore I am, bitten by mosquitoes, therefore I am, if we are a stone, we have not yet been blessed by mosquito bites. However, it is it that is beaten, and it is also it that is killed, so we are the winners and the most proud people. ”
"Child, you are really enlightened everywhere, you have a relationship with the Taoist Buddha world, with your good attitude, your dragon Langjun will definitely not forget you, if you forget you with a clear conscience, the Buddha and the Taoist will definitely not spare him." Daddy said in a relaxed and relieved tone.
"Yes, I hope so, for now, I will only take care of myself, it is better to resign myself to fate, so that I will not ask for trouble, thank you Daddy for your guidance."
"Child, what should I do if my second child or I feel irritable at work?"
You have to learn to imagine, for example, when you choose a vegetable and the yellow leaves are removed, you have to motivate yourself, like a vegetable, if the leaves on your body are all green and full of life, you won't be plucked by the bodhisattva. If you can successfully grow these good leaves on yourself, you will get sick less. If you think of your spine as straight and strong as a lettuce, your teeth as white as green onions, your muscles as strong as garlic, your skin as shiny as an eggplant, and your red lips as your red lips, your lips are bright red. Think of the bell pepper as the lantern that the Bodhisattva holds for us. Imagine Chinese cabbage as our life, always more vigorous and inclusive layer by layer. Think of shiitake mushrooms as our days, although they are plain and savored, they are still full of aroma and sweetness. Think of leeks as the blessings of bodhisattvas, hoping that we will live like leeks for a long time. ”
"This kid really has a way! Why can't we think of these solutions? Mother sighed.
"Yes, there are happy things everywhere in life, and we must learn to let good things grow on our feet, and it is best to grow them on us or in our hearts."
"What if something bad happens?" Autumn Moon Road.
"Just grease this thing and let it slip away." Concubine Wen said happily.
"We're going back, so we won't go up the mountain tonight, right?" The mother urged the father to leave quickly, so as not to worry the brother and sister-in-law.
"No, we're crazy enough today, if we don't go back, the court will be furious, and my fellow Daoists will be worried."
"This child, in the end, husband and wife are of the same heart, no matter how unfair others treat you, they still think of him, I hope he will call you back to the palace as soon as possible, our old face also has face, right?"
"Daddy and mother are right in everything, it's all for the sake of their daughter, Qiuyue, hurry up and give the dumplings to Daddy and Dam, let's go back."
"Huh? A few steamed dumplings, carrying them for so long? Why? ”
"It's not because his brother and sister-in-law's food is delicious, she must have forgotten to take off the package!"
