Chapter 596: Karmic Cause and Effect 1

Lin Ruo laughed "poofed": "In short, your current confusion is because your past is the 'cause', and how you plan to solve the confusion determines your future, that is, the 'effect'. Whether it is a monk or a god, they give a plausible and profound Zen sentence that can solve your current dilemma, but it is up to you to interpret it. ”

"Do you have to tie the bell to the bell?"

Qu Xiaoxiang answered casually.

Lin Ruo's eyes crooked with a smile: "Yes, that's what Xiaoxiang said." ”

Xi Ji chewed Lin Ruo's words back and forth a few times, and suddenly sighed: "Fourth sister-in-law, when you say this, it seems that there is no big difference between a monk and a divine stick." ”

Lin Ruo smiled: "Not necessarily, not necessarily." They are all external forces that people need to rely on when they are confused. It's just that the mystery in the monk's words is worth understanding, and the words of the god stick need to be authenticated. Although after all, it is necessary to substitute your own experience and rely on your own interpretation to solve the dilemma in front of you, but it is far from being able to help you overcome the current predicament. ”

Xi Jiao's little face wrinkled together, as if she didn't understand: "Yes-?" ”

"People often say, 'If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace'. Do you know what the 'Three Jewels' of Buddhism refer to? ”

"Buddha, Dharma, Sangha."

Before Xijiao could speak, Qu Xiaoxiang slowly said the answer.

Xi Ji didn't care about the other party, and nodded: "Yes, it's the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha!" ”

Lin Ruoqian smiled: "Then have you ever thought carefully about the meaning contained in the 'Three Treasures' of Buddhism?" ”

"Implications?" Xijiao tilted her head and thought for a long time, and then confessed, "I don't know......"

Lin Ruo looked at Qu Xiaoxiang, and Qu Xiaoxiang also shook his head. On the Mansion of the Duke of Dian and the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhennan, they all talked about arranging troops, charging into battle, and the two armies facing each other. This Buddha sutra and the like, only after the end of the war to count the casualties, ask the nearby monks to do a ritual, recite a few verses, and appease the souls of the dead in battle.

Lin Ruo stretched out his hand and gently knocked on the wall on the right side of the carriage twice, and with a "click", a wooden board popped out on the wall of the tightly knit carriage, and under the surprised gaze of Xijiao and Qu Xiaoxiang, Lin Ruo skillfully pulled out the wooden plank, pulled it in front of him, and turned it into a folding small table.

Xijiao's eyes flashed with golden light: "Wow, there is such a mystery in this carriage!" ”

Lin Ruo's eyes were crooked with a smile, and he didn't say much, took out the teapot from the food box on his side, poured two cups of tea for Xijiao and Qu Xiaoxiang, and then left a little water stain on the small table, dipped his slender index finger in the tea, and wrote on the small table while explaining: "Look at the word 'Buddha' first, the left is a 'person', and the right is a 'Buddha'." 'Buddha' is not also. Literally, it means 'not human'. In other words, the Buddha is not a human being, but a god. ”

Xijiao and Qu Xiaoxiang nodded.

"What about the 'monk'?" Xi asked crisply.

Lin Ruo looked at Qu Xiaoxiang, who had realized something. Facing Lin Ruo's gaze, Qu Xiaoxiang tried to interpret the word like Lin Ruo: "The word 'monk' is 'person' on the left, and 'Zeng' on the right." 'Was', take the meaning...... Once? ”

"Once human?" Xijiao frowned and asked puzzled, "Isn't it?" Monks are human beings now, too! ”

Qu Xiaoxiang couldn't figure it out, and looked at Lin Ruo.

Lin Ruo smiled lightly and said eloquently: "Xiaoxiang's analysis is not wrong, the 'monks' used to be ordinary people who ate fireworks in the world. It's just that when you enter the Buddha's door, you have to forget the old things of the red dust, cultivate the cause and cultivate the mind, in order to cultivate the Buddha's fruit. ”

Xi Ji nodded suddenly: "This statement is interesting." So, what about the 'law'? ”

Being asked by Xi Ji in a hurry, Lin Ruo wrote the word "Fa" on the table without hesitation, and said slowly: "'Fa' is actually the way from 'monk' to 'Buddha'. The word 'Fa' is 'go' on the right and three points on the left, which means that if you want to cultivate Buddhahood, you have to 'remove the three points'. ”

"Three points? Which three points? ”

"Greed, hatred, and stupidity." Lin Ruo stretched out his hand, wiped the water stains on the table, took a brocade hand, and wiped his hands carefully, "The greedy person is dyed in the realm of the five desires such as color, sound, fragrance, taste, and touch; Hatred, hatred, resentment and harm to others, the karma on which evil deeds depend; The foolish are also ignorant, ignorant of the mind, obsessed with reason, and dependent on all afflictions. These three are also known as the 'three ungood roots'. There is a saying in the Buddhist scriptures: 'If a bodhisattva wants to attain a pure land, he should purify his mind.' If the mind is pure, the Buddha's land will be pure. That's it. ”

Xi Ji couldn't help but smack her tongue: "Fourth sister-in-law, just these three words, you can explain so many Buddhist principles...... No wonder the imperial grandmother always asked you to accompany you to copy scriptures and worship the Buddha. If this were for me, most of the time I would be drowsy and disrespectful in front of the Buddha. ”

Qu Xiaoxiang nodded in agreement, she is also a person who can't sit still, rather than eating fasting and reciting Buddha and copying scriptures, she would rather go to the school field to practice with others, and would rather simulate the confrontation between the two armies around the sand table with others.

However, although the two of them are not like Lin Ruo, they often go to Puji Temple on the outskirts of the capital to worship the Buddha, but during the New Year's holidays, they will still go to the temple to make incense, asking the Buddha to bless the safety of their families and the smooth running of everything.

After all, it is a thought, hugging the Buddha's feet, and storing comfort in your heart.

There are not a few pilgrims who come to the Temple of Mercy and Grace to worship the Buddha with such thoughts. In view of the fame of the Master of Enlightenment, pilgrims came more or less in the hope of meeting the Master of Enlightenment, listening to the teachings of Buddhism, and relieving their doubts.

However, it is really difficult to listen to this enlightened monk in person to solve his doubts.

The abbot of Bian'an Puji Temple came to exchange Buddhism with Master Chengguan, the abbot of Puji Temple, and in addition, he met three pilgrims who were related to Buddhism every day to talk about Zen machines.

However, it is not difficult to meet this enlightened monk or to listen to the teachings of the Dharma.

At the beginning of each day, the abbot of the temple would take the disciples of the Xiangji Temple to do a morning lecture with the monks of the Puji Temple, chanting sutras and worshipping the Buddha in front of the Buddha, and this morning class also allowed the pilgrims to listen to the Buddha's voice outside the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

Even so, Puji Temple is overcrowded at the moment, shoulder to shoulder.

Lin Ruo was a frequent visitor to Puji Temple, and the monks in the temple all recognized her, and they greeted her in advance, so Xiao Shami led Lin Ruo, Xijiao and Qu Xiaoxiang and other female dependents, as well as Murong Chong and his guards, to the side room specially prepared for pilgrims in the temple to rest.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door of the wing, and a bald-headed little novice clasped his hands together and bowed to the three of them: "Three donors, the little monk takes the liberty of disturbing, and I ask the three donors to forgive me." ”

Lin Ruo calmly straightened up his upper body and saluted, and Xijiao and Qu Xiaoxiang did the same.

"Mrs. Lin, Uncle Chengru asked the disciple to tell him on his behalf, and the abbot is now in the tea room, and invites Mrs. Lin to move and talk about Zen together." Take a look at the latest chapter of "Female Business Owl Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
