Chapter 26: The Dharma is Boundless

Qiu Yue fixed his eyes and looked at itβ€”β€”

Feng Wu placed a small "Jade Arhat" in the palm of his hand, crystal clear, natural, bigger than his thumb, with a small round head, a big round belly, sitting cross-legged with his feet, squinting and smiling......

"Where did it come from?" The autumn moon flowers are discolored.

"Picked it up."

"When did you pick it up?"

"This morning."

"Where did you pick it up?"

"Where I slept, I woke up and found it next to me, so I picked it up."

Everyone heard the conversation between the two, Shangguan Ting ran over, without saying a word, snatched the "Jade Arhat", threw it violently, and shouted: "Monsters, there are monsters!" ”

Zhen Huan was naturally curious, so he hurriedly ran over, carefully picked up the "Jade Arhat", and then looked at it repeatedly, muttering to himself: "There is actually this in the wilderness?" The world is really full of wonders, is there really a monster? ”

The team had already stopped, and ran to Zhen Huan's side a few steps from the day, and exclaimed, "What's the situation?" ”

Zhen Huan was not frightened, pinched the "Jade Arhat" with his jade fingers, raised his eyebrows lightly, and said, "Is it good-looking?" ”

Li Ri frowned, did not answer Zhen Huan, but shouted sideways: "Feng Wu, did you really pick it up?" ”

Feng Wu said: "Yes, chief, I picked it up this morning." ”

Liri asked, "Didn't you bring it from the earth?" ”

Feng Wu said: "No. ”

Liri swept everyone with his eyes again, pointed to the "Jade Arhat" pinched by Zhen Huan, and asked loudly, "Is this what you brought?" ”

Everyone shook their heads.

Liri beat a drum in his heart: "How can such a wonderful thing appear in this place where birds don't?" Does it grow out of the soil? Did it fall from the sky? Artificially lost?

It doesn't make sense! Don't? Could it be that the youkai changed? ”

Thinking of this, Liri was a little worried, and said, "Empress, what do you think?" ”

Zhen Huan said: "What do you think? ”

Liri raised his eyebrows and stared at the "Jade Arhat" with his eyes.

Zhen Huan smiled: "Why do you care about him so much?" If you pick it up, it's fate, you're afraid, I'm not afraid, chief, is there a rope? ”

Liri didn't know what Zhen Huan was going to do, thought for a while, and took out a whistle from his pocket, there was just a small red rope on the whistle, Zhen Huan didn't ask for Liri's opinion, he took it directly and untied the rope, and then returned the bare whistle to Liri, and then tied the "Jade Arhat" neck with a rope and hung it on his snow-white neck.

made a charm in minutes, Zhen Huan shook his hair and smiled slightly: "How is it?" ”

I really didn't know that this woman was so free and easy, she was speechless!

"Queen, this is what I picked up, give it back to me!" Feng Wu suddenly walked over, pouted, and stretched his little hand forward.

"Xiao Fengwu, you have already thrown it just now, and if you throw it, it means that it is a discard, and then I picked it up, of course it is mine!" Zhen Huan began to theorize with Feng Wu.

"I didn't throw it, it was Aunt Shangguan who threw it." Feng Wu's thinking is very clear.

Standing next to him squinting and smiling, seeing how this queen fooled the child, Zhen Huan said: "Feng Wu, this is a monster, there is a demonic spirit, are you not afraid?" Zhen Huan grimaced.

Feng Wu was not intimidated, but Qiu Yue was intimidated, and said sharply: "Feng Wu, don't ask for it!" ”

Feng Wu walked away angrily.

Suddenly, the linguist Gongsun Liang came over, looked at the "Jade Arhat" hanging by Zhen Huan around his neck, and without saying a word, he stretched out his hand to grab ......

Zhen Huan flashed sideways and scolded: "What are you doing!" ”

Gongsun Liang said seriously: "Show me." ”

"Why? Look at you! ”

"Does the queen know what an 'arhat' is?"

"I don't know!"

Gongsun Liang said: "In Theravada Buddhism, arhats are the highest attainment of the great Buddha's disciples, and they contain the meaning of killing thieves, not being born, and making offerings.

Arhats are pure in their bodies and minds, and their ignorance and afflictions have been cut off, and they have been freed from birth and death, and have attained nirvana. ”

In ancient China, "Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism" have long been the mainstream culture, "interpretation" refers to Buddhism, Gongsun Liang, as a linguist, has a lot of research on ancient texts, of course, there is a certain study of Buddhism, so he is very sensitive to seeing "Arhat".

Zhen Huan said: "Mr. Gongsun, don't be crepe, let me ask you, is this thing a good thing or an evil thing?" ”

Gongsun Liang touched his goatee, nodded and smiled: "This thing is simple and mysterious, the spirit of heaven and earth, the flower of the sun and the moon, warm and cold, the body is flawless, natural and auspicious!" ”

As soon as Zhen Huan heard this, he was overjoyed, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Okay, it's nothing to do with you, let's go!" ”

Gongsun Liang said: "Slow! Whether it is the temperament of the whole body, or the meaning of the shape, all reveal the aura, if it is not destined for the virtuous person, it is difficult to control, if it is easy to wear, I am afraid it will bring disaster! Be careful, be careful......"

Zhen Huan raised his eyebrows, and immediately scolded: "What a disaster!" A dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth! ”

Gongsun Liang is a smart person, and hurriedly said: "However, the queen is not an ordinary person, of course she can wear it!" ”

Zhen Huan glanced at him and said to himself: "Buddhism is really vast and boundless, even in this wild place, the Buddha also sent disciples to kill demons and demons for us!" ”

Gongsun Liang seemed to have some research on Buddhism, and then said: "The queen is right, the world of Buddhism is indeed vast and boundless, and the Buddha mentioned in the "Sutra of the Origin" that the Milky Way is a small thousand worlds, and this small thousand worlds alone have a thousand days and thousands of moons.

In addition, a thousand small worlds form a middle world, and a thousand middle worlds form a large world, that is, there are a large number of galaxies similar to galactic stars in the universe.

In all these places, there is the light of the Buddha. ”

Shangguan Ting followed and asked excitedly, "Mr. Gongsun, do you mean that we can see the Buddha here?" There must be no yokai here, are they? ”

Gongsun Liang pretended to be profound: "In my opinion, the merit of the Buddha is not to make all the demons and monsters in the world disappear, but to rescue the good people who were framed by the demons and monsters. ”

Shangguan Ting said angrily: "Pull the calf! After talking for a long time, there are still monsters! ”

I don't know when, all the people have gathered-

Long Wu stared at the "Jade Arhat" on Zhen Huan's neck, his eyes were bright, and he suddenly put his hands together and said, "Queen, give me this Arhat, I saw him when I was in Shaolin Temple, but it is much bigger than this." ”

Zhen Huan asked, "Have you been in the Shaolin Temple?" ”

Long Wudao: "Yes." ”

Zhen Huan said: "In this case, you have the Dharma, don't ask for a Bodhisattva, I am a mortal, and I need the blessing of Arhat Bodhisattva." ”

Gongsun Liang said: "Queen, you are not right, there are flaws, Arhats are Arhats, Bodhisattvas are Bodhisattvas, Arhats are not Bodhisattvas, Arhats are practitioners of the Hinayana path to attain fruition, and Bodhisattvas are Mahayana practitioners. ”

Zhen Huan said angrily: "Hello, Tang Seng is reincarnated, climb farther!" ”

Everyone laughed in unison......

Zhen Huan suddenly asked again: "Mr. Gongsun, what is Hinayana and what is Mahayana?" ”

Gongsun Liang began to teach and solve doubtsβ€”β€”

"Around the 1st century A.D., there were a number of schools of thought and doctrine in Indian Buddhism, which claimed that their purpose was to 'universalize sentient beings', and the teachings they believed in were like a huge ship that could carry countless sentient beings from the world of birth and death to the world of nirvana and liberation, so as to achieve Buddhahood, so this school called itself 'Mahayana', and called the original primitive Buddhism and tribal Buddhism 'Hinayana'.

Zhen Huan was naturally studious, and asked, "Then what is a bodhisattva?" ”

Gongsun Liang said: "The so-called bodhisattva is a practitioner who has made a vow to save all sentient beings from the sea of suffering. ”

Zhen Huan said: "Alas, I always thought that the one who cultivated to a very high level and purified all sentient beings was a Bodhisattva, but it turns out that this is what the Bodhisattva means!" ”

After some tossing, the people continued on their way.

Zhen Huan stretched out his hand from time to time to play with the "Jade Arhat", this thing feels particularly warm and smooth, and there is an indescribable refreshing feeling.

Sometimes it is not enjoyable to touch, Zhen Huan simply took him off his neck, looked at him while touching, and looked at his smiling appearance, and even rejoiced in his heart.

After touching it a few times, I felt a trace of warmth in my body, which slowly spread from my fingers to my whole body......
