A huge bright moon hangs high in the night sky of Kuhai Temple.

When the moon is bright, the stars are scarce. There are not many stars, only a few that are particularly bright and can be faintly seen.

The moonlight shines brightly in the temple.

People don't even need candles to travel on this summer night.

No, a few small novices leaned against the wall, lowered their waists, and lined up in a neat line, hurrying in their steps.

The destination is outside the temple.

There was a dog hole in the corner, two feet high and one foot wide. Just enough for a few people to pass.

But a few of the novices didn't take the shortcut.

They stood in front of the cave, one of them lunging, looking at his companion and nodding slightly.

The rest of the people nodded in response, silently lined up, stepped on the man's thigh, leaped hard, propped their hands on the top of the wall, and crossed the wall lightly.

There was a muffled sound outside the wall.

Several people continued to listen quietly to the movement outside the wall.

According to the agreement, if it is safe outside the wall, it is a "Wangwang" dog barking.

If it's not safe, it's ......

"Meow!"

"Meow!" Terrible cat meows.

Several of the little novices suddenly showed frightened expressions.

They immediately turned around, lowered their bodies, leaned against the wall, and hurried their steps.

"Meow meow! Meow...... Ah! Pain, pain, pain! Senior brother, be merciful! ”

Screams rang from outside the wall.

A few of the little novices quickly picked up their speed, and the wind was blowing under their feet.

"Stop." A voice rang out behind him.

A few of the little novices were shocked......

A little novice turned his head and looked: "Ah! It turned out to be the second senior brother! What a coincidence...... You come too...... Come too...... Pee! ”

The second senior brother smiled slightly: "My little junior brother, the toilet is not here." ”

The five little monks stood in a row with their heads downcast.

A great monk dressed in a white monk's robe with an angry face. He was followed by two monks in green clothes.

"If you have become a monk, you should be determined, and your mind should be uncertain, which is a mistake. Ignoring the temple rules, traveling in the dark, and behaving sneakily are two mistakes. Knowing that mistakes do not change, and trying to fool them out, these are the three mistakes. ”

A few little monks buried their heads, but secretly exchanged glances.

"You yourself say, according to the temple rules, how should you be punished?" The Great Monk said.

"This ......"

A little monk was instructed by the eyes of the others and said in a low voice, "According to the rules of the temple...... It should be swept for three days......"

"Is that so? Little junior brother? The second senior brother looked like he didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and he smiled ruffianly.

The little monk looked at him indignantly, and then lowered his head timidly.

"Humph! It's easy to think! The great monk snorted coldly, "You guys, go to the back mountain for me tomorrow to collect firewood!" Gather firewood for three days in the temple! ”

"Huh?" Several of the little novices showed bitter colors in unison, "Senior brother! Don't......"

"It's not negotiable." The great monk said, "If you don't listen, the punishment will be increased!" ”

A few small novices bowed their heads: "Yes." ”

But in the next second, I heard the great monk shouting respectfully: "Abbot." ”

An old monk with a gray beard walked over.

"Mom!" The little monk was shocked, "Why is the abbot here too......

"Isn't it that a few little ones are too noisy and woke you up?" Brother Elder said.

"When people are old, they sleep shallowly." The abbot smiled, "What are the little guys doing?" ”

"Say it yourself." Senior Brother Zhengse.

"Back to the abbot, is it like this......" A few little novices gossiped, and you scrambled to tell the reason......

"Going to the market?" The abbot couldn't help but smile, "What's so fun in the market at night?" ”

"Abbot, you don't understand this." A little novice frowned, "The market of mortals is the most fun time at night." Every house is brightly lit, and there are many people in the restaurant, some of them eat and drink, some play music and dance, and some like a man and a woman to stay in the room, not knowing what they are doing, as if they are fighting, because they can always hear women screaming and squeaking in the room......

A few of the little novices were talking about what they had seen and heard in the previous days, but they didn't notice that the faces of the abbot and the elder brother were green......

The second senior brother blushed and held back a smile, reaching out to cover their mouths.

"Abbot, look, isn't it too light to punish them to go to the back mountain to collect firewood......" said the senior brother.

"Huh?" A few small novices were startled and looked at the abbot nervously.

The abbot shook his head.

"Tell me, why don't you drill a dog hole in the corner, and have to work hard to climb over the wall?" Abbot Road.

"Back to the abbot. Dog caves are for dogs, we are people. Of course, one can't get in and out of a dog hole. A little novice said.

"Why, then, can a dog go in and out through a man's gate, but not a man through a dog's hole?"

"This ......"

The little novices were in trouble.

"Whoever can answer this question correctly can not go to the back mountain." Abbot Road.

So the little novices' eyes lit up, and they scrambled to shout: "Because the dog is inferior, and entering and exiting the dog hole is self-surrendering, and it will be laughed at." ”

The abbot smiled and said, "I told you that all beings are equal. ”

"The dog hole is too small for anyone to get through."

"Maybe I'm afraid of colliding head-on with a dog!"

"No, no, no."

The abbot laughed.

"It's because the door of the person is wider than the dog hole, the dog enters and exits from the gate, and can still be comfortable, if the person drills the dog hole, the body is uncomfortable or a trivial matter, the key is that the heart will be excluded, which is the most uncomfortable."

"Why is it so uncomfortable?"

"If it's urgent, it's okay to drill a dog hole, and you have a clear conscience. In addition, if there is a gate and a dog hole is still needed, most of them are despicable, so it's no wonder that they have a disturbed conscience. ”

"Hmm." Hearing this, the old monk nodded meaningfully.

A few senior brothers smiled knowingly: "Although these little dots are naughty, they still have a bit of wisdom." ”

"Children, it's right to be naughty." The abbot said, "Chang Ming, you don't have to go to the back mountain." ”

The little monk named Chang Ming smiled: "Thank you, abbot, thank you, senior brother." ”

"Since you yearn for the world so much, then I will let you out of the temple for three days." The abbot said, "But in three days, you will bring me something back." ”

Chang Ming was stunned: "What is it?" ”

The abbot thought for a moment and said, "This thing should be sufficient...... Big! I want you to bring back the greatest thing you've ever seen in the world. ”

"Big?" Chang Ming showed a strange expression, "The biggest thing in the world? ”

"Yes." The old monk nodded.

Chang Ming scratched his head, although he was a little foggy, he still said, "The disciple has written it down." ”

"Let's go. In three days, I'm going to see you here, and what you brought back. ”

"Yes."

Chang Ming walked out of the temple again, but this time from the gate, with his head held high and his chest held high, and strode out.

The rest of the little novices were a little envious.

The senior brother patted their heads: "Go back to sleep, and tomorrow I will go to the back mountain to chop wood!" ”

A couple of the little ones were driven back to their rooms.

At this point, there were only three people left.

"Why did the abbot let Chang Ming enter the world?" Brother Elder said.

"Chang Ming, this child, is smart and has a relationship with the Buddha." Abbot Road.

"Does the abbot want to train him out of this?" The second senior brother smiled, "Just like when you exercised the senior brother." ”

The three of them smiled.

The original senior brother was even more naughty, and the little novice just now.

At that time, the abbot was in the prime of life, grabbed the collar and threw the elder brother out of the door, telling him to come back in a month.

The elder brother was nearly ten years old, and he wandered alone for a month, experiencing the warmth and coldness of the world. After coming back, he was still naughty, but he was much more sensible.

In fact, these two are not contradictory in the first place.

The abbot said, "That's right. Traveling outside is the best way to exercise people, and you can learn a lot by going outside. ”

"Then you, what are you looking for Chang Ming?" Senior Brother asked.

"Isn't the biggest in the world the sun?" The second senior brother smiled, "Do you want him to bring the sun back?" ”

"Anything goes." The abbot said, "The same question, in different people's hearts, has different answers. ”

"Then Senior Brother, what do you think is the biggest thing in the world?" The second senior brother asked again.

"The greatest ...... in the world Naturally, it's the sea. As the saying goes, water is the source of life, and the sea can accommodate all the currents of water in the world and give us life, shouldn't it be the greatest in the world? ”

"Haha." It could be seen that the abbot was in a very good mood at this time.

He looked at the second senior brother: "If you just say the size of a head, the sun is naturally the largest. It can also be seen from this that you think about problems, do not like to think too deeply, and do not want to make trouble for yourself, so you are open-minded and always in a happy mood. ”

The abbot looked at the senior brother again: "What you think is great is great." You believe that the greatness of the sea lies in its acceptance and giving, which is also the moral goal you pursue. You will eventually come closer in that direction. ”

"So the abbot wants to see, what is the difference between Chang Ming?" Senior Brother asked.

"Good, good."

"Amitabha."

"Then may I ask the abbot, what do you think is the biggest thing in the world?"

"Eyes."

"Eyes?"

"The sun, the sea, the world, my eyes can fit it, you say, aren't the eyes the biggest?" Abbot Road.
