One hundred and twelfth The Buddha is not in me, I will go to find the Buddha myself

That night, the sleepless little novice asked his master for advice:

"Master, there is something unknown about the apprentice."

The old monk who was knocking on the wooden fish with chaotic eyes stopped, and sighed. The little monk had long been accustomed to the master's mannerism, and said to himself:

"Master, there is a female benefactor today, I advise her to be generous, and she advises me to be kind." Then he recounted the day's events in detail.

After hearing this, the old master was silent for a moment, and when he saw the little novice kneeling there, he asked:

"So what do you have to worry about?"

"What if one person believes in Buddhism and the other doesn't, and they take a big shot at the former?" The little monk respectfully knelt on the ground and asked.

"Continue to reform until he comes to his senses."

Xiao Shami was anxious, and quickly said, "Master, how is this possible? Once the villain gains power, the more rampant he is, the less he will repent, how long will he wait to wake up? ”

"When the time comes, you will wake up."

"Master! And what about this time? Decade? Twenty years? Is it all an equal word? ”

"Hmm."

Xiao Shami couldn't believe this answer, so how did he go back and continue to debate with Chen Lihua?

"How does this make people believe in my Buddhism?" His face turned pale and he smiled bitterly.

"Believing in Buddhism is not for profit, but for cultivating the mind. Those who worship the Buddha are not happy because of hatred or wealth, all living beings are suffering and greedy. Therefore, the disciples of Buddhism have great freedom in their hearts, seeking peace in their hearts and purifying all sentient beings. There are those who deceive me and do not give birth to sorrow, and there are those who love me and do not steal joy. All kinds of emotions are born from the heart, and the heart is empty and empty, and it is naturally detached. ”

The little monk calmed down and understood Master's words, those who feel that they will be angry if they are bullied are still not cultivated enough, and the real holy Buddha, like a lake in his heart, will not raise a trace of waves no matter what. It is also a life to be bullied, and it is also a life to enjoy prosperity, as long as you have neither joy nor sorrow, what is the difference between the two ways of living? In front of a real saint, whether you praise him or scold him, give him delicacies from the mountains and seas or wild vegetable steamed buns, it's all the same. If everyone can do this, the world will be the same.

The little novice was convinced, and bowed his head again. "The disciple has understood, but the disciple still has one last question."

"Say."

"If those dignitaries donate incense money, can they really accumulate merit?"

"Yes."

"Why? They just donated some money, but the children of the gentlemen are still rampant in the world, and the wealthy businessmen are still unkind to the rich, how can they accumulate merit? ”

"Because helping to spread the Dharma is the greatest merit. Although the small section is damaged, it does not hurt the big section, and it is a great merit. ”

How does this kind of Dharma convince people? Is the Dharma that accepts these ill-gotten gains still the real Dharma? Little Novice stood up and roared. Is this money offered to the Buddha? Or a Buddha worshipper? ”

The old monk looked at the apprentice who stood up like an angry King Kong in the audience, and showed a little smile, he didn't care about the anger of the disciple, and knocked the wooden fish again and again.

"If you already have the answer in your heart, why do you ask me? I said yes, can you believe it? The old monk's face was kind.

Hearing Master's answer, the little novice sat down weakly on the ground.

"Is there a real Buddha in this world?" Years of faith have been destroyed, he said with a wry laugh.

"Naturally, there is, but the real Buddha is not here." The old monk pointed to the Maitreya Buddha statue behind him, "It's not there." He pointed to the border of the western heavens. The true Buddha is in your heart. ”

The little novice stood still.

"There are wise people, fools, good people, and evil people in the world, if you give up doing good because of some injustice, then when will the world become a blissful fairyland? On this road, there are ups and downs, and it is normal to go through all kinds of twists and turns without returning. ”

"You only say that my Buddhism accepts gifts from the wicked, if not, how can I make my Buddhism incense prosperous? In troubled times, my Buddhism saves the people of the world, how many killings are less? Those who come to worship the Buddha are like carp crossing the river, is there no one who has awakened? If you persuade one person to be good, you will get the merit of one person, and if you persuade two people to be good, it will be the merit of two people. ”

The little monk didn't say a word, stood up silently, and bowed to the master three times.

"Master, I want to go out for a walk." He spoke, his voice deep and determined.

"I think, the Buddha here is not my Buddha, no matter what you say, if you indulge one person to do evil, it will make hundreds of persuasions to do good go to waste, and if I stay here, I will never find my own Buddha, and I will not be able to achieve positive results."

"That's very good. Always follow me under the seat, what you know is always the Buddha that others tell you, but what is the real Buddha? You'll need to find it yourself. But you have to remember that no matter what you see, you must believe that the Buddha is still in your heart, and don't let greed and hatred control your mind. ”

"The world isn't as good as you think, and it's not as bad as you think."

Xiao Shami looked at his master, remembered some rumors that he had disdained, it is said that his master was the biggest thorn in Buddhism when he was young, drinking wine and eating meat for pleasure, doing everything, and once proposed "Eight Reforms and Eight Revolutions", wanting to make a big move on the Xiangguo Temple at that time, and was ruthlessly rejected by the host at that time and left the sect angrily, until ten years later, he came back with a scar to continue the cultivation.

"Master, I still have something I want to ask, I heard that you ......"

"Shut up! Get out! ”

On the other hand, Chen Lihua didn't know the twists and turns of Buddhism, and carefully read the script that Liu Muyang came back, and asked:

"The plot ...... Doesn't seem exciting, right? ”

"But it's abusive enough, abuse has a topic, only heat, and can make people want to stop."

"Combine the two, first suppress and then promote, it's better to add a sentence here, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people to be poor." Chen Lihua pointed to a place.

"It's too smelly." The system said with a frown.

Thirty years ago, the Qin army of Wu Qi lost its armor, and thirty years later, the Qin State Shang Ying changed the law, and under the leadership of Qin Xiangong and others, it took decades to recapture the Hexi region. How can such an allusion not be used? Chen Lihua glanced at Liu Muyang suspiciously. What are you thinking? ”

…… It turns out that this sentence was not created by "Breaking the Sky"?

Knowing that he was at a loss, the system stupidly changed the topic: "The small gate of the Drunken Spring Pavilion is over there, and you will arrive fifty meters to the east." ”

Chen Lihua was confident: "I came here to serve the public, and I didn't come here to meet my wishes, why did I go off the rails?" ”

She walked confidently through the front door, ignoring the surprised gazes of the diners and the ladwlers inside.

The door of the Drunken Spring Pavilion is full of birds, although it is daytime, but this situation is inevitably too bleak. Sure enough, under the blow of the Flower Picking Building, the business of Zuichun Pavilion was quite affected.
