The abbot of Huiguo passed away, the emperor added the honor, the courtiers and magnates moved when they heard the wind, and they all sent the funeral ceremony to Huiguo Temple.

The abbot is not a dignitary, and he does not stop the spirit for many days, he stopped in the temple for three days and was cremated, and the emperor and queen came to see him off on the day of cremation, how dare others not come, and everyone was also looking forward to seeing what the relics of the Buddha Gate to the treasure look like, but the abbot did not burn the relics......

The scene was a little embarrassing for a while, but the emperor didn't say anything, and the others didn't dare to question it, and the monks in the temple didn't have this stubble, and received the abbot's ashes and enshrined them in the back hall of the Jizo Temple.

The funeral is over, and it happens that the emperor is also there, so the next abbot is appointed on the spot, and the first abbot is still in Buddhism, and naturally there is no controversy, that is, he took over the position of abbot.

The identity seems to be uncontroversial, but this new abbot is too young, the young monk is only seventeen years old, how can such a young monk be the abbot, his white-bearded uncle is not older than him? Especially Master Jingming of the Prison Temple, during this period of time, he was busy presiding over the abbot's funeral, and he shrank in the corner in obscurity and cried, and now he jumped out to take over the position of the abbot, and Master Jingming must not vomit to death.

The monks have no desires and no desires, so naturally they can't compete for the position of abbot, but Qingmiao is interested in himself, he doesn't understand anything, he can only chant scriptures, how can he be an abbot?

Qing Miao resigned the holy will, the emperor did not annoy him, it is indeed too young, if it were not for the jade girl insisted on promoting this little monk, he would not have ordered, both Qing Miao himself also pushed, the emperor let the temple Jingming temporarily manage the affairs of the temple, Qing Miao devoted himself to cultivating Buddhism, and then officially succeeded after the crown.

Hearing these words in the ears of everyone, it is very clear that the emperor loves the house and Wu, the abbot left first, he even took more support for this little monk, and would rather let the abbot's position be empty in the past few years, but also leave it to him, and after the crown, he is still a little monk, and the twenty-year-old abbot is still very young!

Master Jingming is the most bitter one, the body and heart are also bitter, the first abbot is not very careful, he has been wandering outside for many years, and he is also in retreat to practice Buddhism when he returns to the temple, or he enters the palace and His Majesty to participate in meditation, in short, he doesn't care about the trivial things in the temple. The clothing, food, housing and transportation of the people in this temple, and the Buddhist rituals during the New Year's Festival are all operated by Master Jingming.

Master Jingming has worked hard all his life, and finally boiled the first abbot away, and it should be his turn to take over the position of abbot in terms of qualifications, but the emperor actually let this little cub climb on his head! Senior brother's Buddhism is deeper than him, more pleasing to the master than him, he has worked for his senior brother all his life, and now that the senior brother is gone, he still has to work for this little cub, what is he trying to do? Let this little cub and the queen succeed to the throne, there are still three years, and the emperor didn't even mention letting him temporarily serve as the abbot, only saying that he should supervise all things in the temple and let Qingmiao concentrate on practice.

Why, when the master said that he did not show his wisdom and did not have a high level of understanding, and passed the position of abbot to his senior brother, he had objections in his heart, he took care of these trivial matters in the temple all day and night, and when he participated in meditation, he was less, which was like the senior brother who did everything and devoted himself to the Buddha. The master said that he had no wisdom roots, and he didn't want to talk more about Buddhism with him, and the senior brother had a deep Zen heart for Buddha, and they were very compatible with each other in Zen. But the master clearly favored the senior brother from the beginning, the senior brother grew up in Buddhism, and the master treated him as a disciple and a son, and he was a halfway monk, so naturally he was not as favored by the master as the senior brother.

Since the master's generation, he has fallen behind the senior brother, and now the senior brother favors his own descendants, and he still can't hold his head up, so he just grovels to the senior brother, and it is really difficult for him to grovel to a little cub who can be his grandson.

The jade girl recalled the events of her previous life, the abbot of Huiguo died a few years earlier in her previous life, and after his death, Qing Miao was driven out by Jing Ming, and met the golden boy to rescue her, and the two formed a deep friendship, and Qing Miao's later achievements in Buddhism were not inferior to his master.

The abbot of Huiguo is a life-saving grace for her, she doesn't know if the abbot died a few years later in this life just to help her survive this catastrophe, she was in a coma for a few days, wandering away from the world to see all kinds of previous lives, her ears have been haunting Sanskrit Buddha words, when she opened her eyes, she saw the abbot meditating with his eyes closed and his expression was peaceful, she stepped forward to sniff, only to know that he had passed away. But she is not afraid at all, I don't know whether the Buddhist monk is peaceful or grateful to the life-saving benefactor, she is not only not afraid, but also a little melancholy, she was originally a little hostile to this old monk, but the other party came to cross her.

The abbot didn't leave any last words, only she had an extra string of Nanmu relics bracelets in her hand, but the jade girl guessed that the last thing he could let go of was the little monk, so she also helped the little monk and lifted him to the position of abbot. But looking at his stupid appearance now, staying in Huiguo Temple for fear of being poisoned, he simply followed his trajectory in his previous life and sent him to the White Horse Temple to learn Buddhism with Master Wuchen.

Master Wuchen and Abbot Huiguo are friends, after Qingmiao returned to Beijing, he also followed the master to see Master Wuchen a few times, the eldest princess asked him to follow Master Wuchen to learn Buddhism, he scratched the back of his head, the master has praised Master Wuchen's profound and transcendent Dharma, of course he is willing to listen to learning, I am afraid that the master will not take him.

The jade girl asked him to go, Master Wuchen is a wise person, how can he not see through the selfishness of this Huiguo Temple, and he will definitely teach Qingmiao everything that the first abbot did not have time to teach.

The White Horse Temple also sent monks to participate in the funeral of the first abbot, and it happened that the emperor made this will, and after the funeral was over, Qing Miao packed up his baggage and followed the monks of the White Horse Temple. For the monks of the White Horse Temple, it is also a novelty to bring the abbot of other people's temples back to their own temple to study Buddhism.

In the Huiguo Temple, the matter was decided, and the royal driver set off to return to the palace, and the others did not stay much, followed the royal car down the mountain and then went back to their respective homes, but it was inevitable to mumble about it on the way home. Why didn't a monk like the abbot of Huiguo burn the relics? Is it because the Tao is not enough? It seems that there is a suspicion of selling fame and reputation on weekdays.

The companion said: "I think the abbot is right, don't forget how he died!" The eldest princess's illness is strange, maybe it is that the abbot has exhausted the essence in order to save her, and the aura has been squeezed dry, and it will become slag after it is burned, how can there be relics. ”

Regarding the cause of the eldest princess, they tacitly did not dare to say more, but they also regretted that a generation of monks left like this, and at the same time muttered to the successor abbot, "That little monk really didn't have half the demeanor of the first abbot, what does Your Majesty think, let him succeed, Huiguo Temple will only become an ornament in the future." ”

"It's not, it's the spirit of the dustless master's Dharma, let's go to Huiguo Temple less in the future, and go to White Horse Temple more to pray for God and worship Buddha."

The abbot of Huiguo is gone, and the Bodhisattvas of Huiguo Temple are gone, and they have to find another place to incense.
