Chapter 34: A Smile
On the second day, there are no important classes, optional free courses, you can not go.
"Dream Middle School" is relatively relaxed in the management of students, and it attaches more importance to the cultivation of students' strengths.
Zhang Jingwen simply didn't go to class, and came to the flower greenhouse early.
Good fellows, the four men, all sat there looking at the flowers, and the seedlings had grown an inch long.
Zhang Jingwen asked, "You guys are so positive, you came so early." ”
Li Mengran said to Zhang Jingwen with a smile: "Because I was so happy, I couldn't sleep when I went back, so the two of us had to live here." ”
"No wonder! I'm a woman, so I can't live here. Zhang Jingwen sighed and said:
"I was so excited last night that I didn't sleep all night, and I didn't even have a good dream."
Speaking of this, Zhang Jingwen suddenly remembered that she hadn't eaten the pearl fairy fruit in a dream for a long time.
Could it be that the dream I dreamed of the psychic flower thirty years ago has ended?
The Lingtong flower was dug up by the monk and died, so I can never dream of it again?
This damn monk is angry with me!
Someday, I will settle accounts with the old thief.
Thinking of this, she asked again:
"Old man, how is the well-informed abbot now?"
The old man smiled and said, "Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky. ”
"The well-informed abbot is dedicated to wealth, and has no intention of chanting Buddha."
"Later, he sold the treasure gourd, and when he had some money, he began to have fun, and soon he was exhausted, and after less than a year, he died."
When Zhang Jingwen heard this, she glanced at the fortune tree next to her.
The once lush and green tree of fortune was also shrunk into a ball, listless.
He smiled and said: "This person doesn't love money anymore, and this fortune tree is also boring." ”
Zhu Dachang also echoed: "If this money is compared with health, then it can only be willing to lose." ”
Li Mengran habitually touched his beard again, and interjected: "When you say this, you only see the leaves, not the forest. If we just sit here and look at these flowers and trees in front of us, we will be detached from the whole world. ”
When the old man heard this, he laughed and said nothing.
Zhu Dachang couldn't wait and asked, "Old man, what are you laughing at, is he not right?" ”
Zhang Jingwen glared at Zhu Dachang and said with a smile: "Old man, you are well-informed, tell us the story of this flower before." ”
The old man stroked his beard naturally and said:
"I'm also a fool, I can only grow flowers, and I don't dare to say anything."
Zhu Dachang was impatient and said, "Don't pretend to be deep, say it quickly." ”
Liu Changfa also felt a little bored, and said: "Just assume that everyone has nothing to do, listen to your nonsense here, it's not serious at all." ”
The old man smiled and said, "Have you ever heard the story of 'one flower and one world, one leaf and one Bodhi'? ”
Li Mengran: "I know a little. ”
The old man continued: "Although a flower is incomparably small compared to the vast world, it encompasses all the wisdom in the vast universe. ”
Li Mengran: "My God, the whole universe? You're too big a bragging blow, isn't it? ”
The old man said: "This Lingtong flower is the essence of the universe, 200,000 years ago, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon before it was generated on the earth, but it is also extremely rare and rare. ”
"At that time, there were no people on the earth, only apes, one day, a female ape accidentally found this flower, and stayed next to it every day, bathing in the light of this psychic flower, and after a long time, it gradually became human."
Zhang Jingwen asked curiously: "What about later?" ”
The old man smiled again and said, "Later, she ate the pearl fruit of the Lingtong flower knot, and gave birth to a baby girl, so the first person in the world appeared. ”
Li Mengran: "My God, it's so magical. ”
The old man said, "This is an earth-shattering event that happened on the earth 200,000 years ago. ”
Zhang Jingwen asked again: "What about later?" How's the flower? ”
"Later, when more and more people were born, they all came to snatch the flower in order to receive the light of the flower, and they fought so hard that they were pulled out and thrown into the sea."
"People searched for this flower in many ways and traveled all over the world to seek the way of heaven and earth, the flower of the sun and the moon, but the flower was not found, but it formed the layout of human beings on the earth today."
Zhang Jingwen: "I see, but what happened later, did people find it?" ”
The old man saw that they had all listened with relish, and was also interested, and said:
"When Shakyamuni was 19 years old, he felt many sufferings in the world, such as birth, old age, illness, and death, so he gave up his royal life and became a monk to practice in order to seek the true meaning of life."
"After Shakyamuni became a monk, he searched for famous teachers in many ways, and studied meditation from the hermitage of the cave-solving, Aragarama and Udagarama, but in the end, he did not attain, and then decided to abstain from asceticism in order to seek liberation."
"He spent six years in the ascetic forest of Mount Kayan by the Nirenzen River, and at the age of 31, under the Bodhi tree, he finally discovered this flower."
"So, he meditated for 7 days and 7 nights next to the Lingtong flower under the Bodhi tree, and finally came to his senses, founded Buddhism, and became a Buddha."
Li Mengran: "You old man who raises flowers, but how much can you know?" ”
The old man smiled: "I am ninety and two this year, although I am just raising flowers, but I know a little about the stories related to flowers in this world." ”
Li Mengran: "Okay, you go on. ”
The old man went on to speak:
"It is said that one day, the sect leader Shakyamuni was in class, and many disciples looked at him with blank eyes, but he didn't say a word."
"Shakyamuni reached out and picked up a flower and swirled it around in his hand, as if to imply something."
"But none of the disciples understood what the teacher's action meant."
Alyssa Zhang: "So, what does this mean?" ”
Liu Changfa smiled: "Don't you understand this? What the Buddha meant was that all his sutras were derived from this psychic flower. ”
The old man smiled and said, "Exactly, Shakyamuni has a big disciple named Ka Ye, only he understands it, so he 'poofs' and laughs." ”
Zhang Jingwen also 'poofed' and said: "It turns out that this allusion to a smile is actually like this? ”
Several people burst out laughing.
Li Mengran also followed the old man's example, touched his beard, and then said: "So Jiaye became the first ancestor of Zen Buddhism, right? ”
And all the people laughed again, and the buds of the laughing flower trembled.
Zhang Jingwen looked at the Lingtong flower, pointed at it and smiled: "Lingtong flower, Lingtong flower, I really convinced you." ”
Just look at the sprouting Lingtong flower, and it made a trembling sound.
