Chapter 44: The Relic Sacred Bird

The place gave him a sense of déjà vu.

There is a pond in the middle of the ground, and the water of the pond flows into a golden channel that extends in all directions, and the banks of the pond are full of fragrant sandalwood trees. The Seven Treasures and Wonderful Trees are neatly arranged, and the branches, leaves, flowers and fruits are all symmetrical, and the glory and brilliance reflect each other. The seven treasures decorated with the fine houses, palaces, pavilions, and lotus flowers in the treasure pond reflect each other, and the beauty is breathtaking.

Mu Ziqi hurriedly stopped the flying carpet, he wanted to enjoy it.

At this time, he remembered that when he once went to a temple in Sichuan, a monk introduced some stories about the Western Elysium to tourists.

When the monk mentioned water, he said that the water in Elysium is made up of the soft Seven Jewels, which is called (Water of Eight Merit). The water source is born from the largest Mani orb ------ the Ruyi Pearl, and the water of the Lotus Pond flows through the Lotus Blossom and flows up and down the tree.

This water has eight wonderful qualities: 1. It is clear and clean and free from contamination. 2. Cool and cold, but hot and annoying. 3. Sweet taste. 4. It is soft and light, and the body and mind are light and comfortable after use. 5. The lubricating coating will not change the smell and fade. 6. Ann and not in a hurry, there is no torrent. 7. It can quench thirst and hunger. 8. It can gain good roots and grow the Dharma body. Just by drinking and bathing, you can enjoy these wonderful uses!

The monk also said: The water of the eight merits of the Western Elysium is the water of nectar, the medicine of immortality, completely pure; That's not the case with the water in our world! Although it can benefit people, sometimes it will also harm people and drown people, the so-called (water can carry a boat, but also can capsize a boat), especially the current water, is all filthy and toxin.

The water of the Eight Virtue Pond has eight kinds of merits, which is just a simple way to say, but in fact, the merits of the Buddha are immeasurable, not to mention the eight kinds, eight hundred, eight thousand, eighty thousand, eight hundred million merits, it is immeasurable! Everything in the Elysian World is as it should be, Amitabha Buddha has great compassion, everything is settled, and it is the best, I hope that everyone who listens to this Dharma will have eight kinds of liberation.

The monk also said: When a person falls into the water and drowns, he sincerely recites Guanyin Bodhisattva and gets shallow; When the fire burns, the sincere recitation of Guanyin Bodhisattva can indeed extinguish the fire! This is to talk about the facts, and then to the rationality: greed is water, you sincerely recite the sound of Guanyin Bodhisattva, open wisdom to see through and let go of the desire to liberate the desire; The heart is heavy, and the fire of the heart can be lifted by reciting Guanyin, which is very sensitive, just like water can definitely extinguish the fire. But when the fire is strong, a glass of water can't extinguish the fire! A cart of fire can only be extinguished by a cart of water, and the power must be equal.

And so on, and so on.

The scene in front of him is very similar to what the monk said, and it seems that just because of an inadvertent angry word just now, he carried himself to Elysium without borrowing!

He was excited.

Suddenly, I heard a nice sound in my ears, and at first glance, it was a bird with a pair of golden wings flying by, this bird seemed to be very sensible, and when I saw Mu Ziqi, it no longer flew forward, but circled around the flying carpet.

Mu Ziqi felt very curious, what kind of bird is this, and why are its wings so beautiful?

Mu Ziqi tried to wave to it, the bird actually landed on his hand, Mu Ziqi was very happy, and was trying to tease it, but he didn't want to, a person's voice sounded in his ears, and when he heard it again, it came from the bird's mouth, if a person was chanting something, it turned out that it would speak!

Mu Ziqi became excited, and hurriedly asked it, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm a relic bird." The bird replied, in a man's voice, low and sad.

Mu Ziqi was taken aback, what is going on, is it that like people, birds also have a lot of joys, sorrows, and sorrows?

Mu Ziqi asked: "Why do I sound like you're not very happy, why is that?" ”

"I've been unhappy for tens of thousands of years!" The bird let out a long sigh.

Ho, what is the difference between this tone and people, Mu Ziqi felt very interesting, and decided to get to the bottom of it and inquire about what was going on.

The goldfinch pondered for a long time, and finally began to speak, in a very deep tone.

What made Mu Ziqi feel strange was that it didn't seem to be answering its own question, it seemed to be talking to itself, telling an invisible person that Mu Ziqi didn't ask anything in order not to interrupt its train of thought.

I am a bird, a goldfinch that hunts dragons every day to feed my stomach. Maybe it was too heavy to kill, I don't know how many years ago, I was finally caught by the hunter, just when I was about to be killed by the hunter, you appeared, and the maid came to the green, with the most precious jade pendant around me saved me, at that moment, I was moved by you, I remember you deeply, I know, I fell in love with you, but, I and you are two worlds, we are not the same kind, I can only like you silently in my heart.

Since then, there are no dragon-eating goldfinches in the world, and there are more relic birds in front of the Buddha who participate in Zen.

In the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha, I prayed every day, praying that I could become a Buddha as soon as possible, that I could transform into a human form, and that I could find you in my memory. The years passed in a hurry, I don't know that after tens of thousands of years, the Buddha said that the accumulation of thoughts in my heart is too deep, I can't become a Buddha, if I want to become a Buddha, I must let go of all worldly obsessions, and devote myself to Zen. In order to be able to become a human being, in order to see you as soon as possible, I turned into a Buddha bead in the hands of the Buddha.

Listening to the Buddha's meditation every day, the more you cultivate, the more eager you are to see you. Every day in the hands of the Buddha, watching the people of the world rise and fall in front of the Buddha, they must have placed too much weight in front of the Buddha, and I can't bear to disturb this kind of wish. There was a solemnity all around, and I felt the arrangements of God in silence. I am curious about the joys and sorrows of the world, and I also hope to see the beautiful woman who saved me many years ago.

The Buddha looked at me who were obsessed with worshipping the Buddha and said something that made me inexplicable: Bad fate, bad fate!

Although I was stupid, this time, for some reason, I came to my senses.

Finally, I understood why I couldn't reach the fate of the heart after several lifetimes, and understood what the Buddha said, "The Buddha's fate is not enough, and it should not be forced."

The reason why I haven't seen you all this is because I can't concentrate on my cultivation because I am moved by my thoughts.

I couldn't change myself, and although I still meditated on the Buddha every day, I prayed every day that I could see the beautiful woman who saved me one day.

Finally, one day, I had an idea and said to the Buddha that I wanted to go to the human world.

The Buddha granted my wish.

So, I turned into a man and came to the world in a hurry, looking for the beautiful woman I liked who saved me! Before leaving, the Buddha said: 500 times of looking back in the past life, in exchange for this life. But what kind of people will I meet? The Buddha also told me that if I can't get the true love of that woman, I will have to be a Buddha bead in front of the Buddha forever in this life! I didn't think about it before I agreed.

Joke, how could she not like me? Otherwise, she wouldn't have traded my life for the most cherished thing! The Buddha smiled but did not answer, silent, leaving only the sentence "The secret of heaven must not be revealed".

I came to the world, I went through hardships, and finally came to you, for this moment, I don't know how many thousand years I have been praying in front of the Buddha. And you, to me, just smiled faintly, it turned out that you really didn't remember me. It turns out that you are only out of your own love to come to the rescue. It turned out that everything was just my own wishful thinking!

At that moment, my heart was broken, and all my thoughts were empty. It turns out that I am nothing, I am just a dragon-eating goldfinch, a relic bird in front of the Buddha, and a Buddha bead in the hands of the Buddha.

So, I returned to the Buddha's hands, continued to make a Buddha bead, and reverently listened to the sound that I could only experience. Incense is lit one by one; The heart, in one wish after another, gradually quieted, and accepted the fate that was once in the sea but was already a foregone conclusion. I am just a Buddha bead in the Buddha's hand, as silent as if in meditation. In the feeling that this life is gone, it seems that all the indescribable longings and expectations are condensed into a lonely seed and sown in the next life. If it really grows into a leafy tree, do you still insist on not saying a word?

I am just a Buddha bead in the hands of the Buddha, I don't care about joy or sorrow, I don't care about it. I don't feel sad or happy in life, I don't know why, I just feel bland.

I don't know how long it has been, but the world is changing so fast. Looking at her every day, watching her reincarnate in the world, in fact, I really want to put my hand in her hands, but I can't, just like everything in the world has a fixed number, and no matter how much perfection there is, there are defects. I looked at her every day and decided that she was the most beautiful woman in my eyes, and she was also the woman I was willing to pay for without complaints.

I couldn't understand why this was the case, and when I asked the Buddha why he was like this, the Buddha said, "While accepting happiness, we must also accept the pain that comes from happiness, and happiness and pain are originally twin sisters." ”

The Buddha said: Giving up is a kind of beauty, a kind of love;

The Buddha said that waiting is a kind of beauty, a kind of love;

The Buddha said that blessing is a kind of beauty, a kind of love;

The Buddha said that perfection is a kind of beauty, a kind of love;

I began to understand why people in the world are always unhappy, and the unhappiness of the world is due to too many delusions, so they inevitably fall into attachment.

At this time, the Buddha has begun to settle down, and he no longer opens his eyes to see the state of the world, but I can't help but look at the state of the world, I can not look at the state of the world, but I can't help but look at the woman I love.

The Buddha said: There will always be regrets in life, because of love, because of nostalgia, because we can't see each other.

Love is a lifetime, a reincarnation once in a lifetime;

Regardless of whether in the southeast and northwest;

Love is a period of right and wrong;

Teach lovers to never be able to say goodbye again.

So, I have peace of mind as a Buddha bead in front of the Buddha, silently watching you, silently praying for you, silently praying that one day I can fall in love with you, I can kiss your face.

Mu Ziqi was deeply moved by the story of the relic bird, and was silent for a while.

Seeing that he was silent, the relics sighed again, spread their wings, and prepared to fly.

An idea suddenly popped into Mu Ziqi's mind,
