Chapter 394: Suddenly
When the Sanglu Division arrived, the great monk Zhixin was giving a lecture to the believers.
It is not difficult to place an order in the Great Xiangguo Temple, but if you want to be like the great monk Zhixin, whether you are in the capital or not, you can have your own independent meditation room in the temple for a long time, and you can also place your own small novices alone, it is not so simple.
Temples are also about "rules".
As the largest temple in the capital, there are thousands of monks living there, not to mention the flowing water-like wandering monks, even if there are thousands of meditation rooms and dozens of halls in this place, it is also in short supply.
How do you decide who to stay in?
In addition to emphasizing the first come, first come, first come, it is also generally emphasized the "status" of the monks.
Although the great monk Zhixin did not get a purple robe, he had many followers in the capital and was very famous, especially after breaking through a name by relying on the art of physiognomy a few years ago, it attracted everyone's attention.
Rumor has it that five years ago, the great monk Zhixin met a woman in the capital, saying that his son had "the joy of Dengke Jia", and sure enough, within a year, the woman's son was a high school jinshi, and it was a beautiful talk in the capital for a while.
Later, the great monk Zhixin has met many people one after another, just by relying on his face, palmistry, pulse, and then accompanied by divination, he can know the nobility and cheapness, fortune and misfortune, and blame, especially the good face of women, talking about his past is not bad, and he said the marriage of several women.
Relying on this hand, in just a few years, the great monk Zhixin became famous in the capital, and even at some times, the prestige of some specific groups of people was stronger than that of the Zhiyuan master who wore a purple robe and made many meritorious deeds.
To tell the truth, there is a great monk of Zhixin sitting in the Great Xiangguo Temple, and there are many more famous believers, and the sesame oil and incense money are endless, with such a cash cow, how can the guests in the temple not be for him?
In the past year or two, the great monk Zhixin has not often come out to meet people, but there are many times to preach the scriptures, and every time the altar is opened to give lectures, a large number of people can come to listen to the Fa.
The same is true today.
At present, when it is time to apply, the hall is already full, and one person has a futon and sits on the ground, and the outside of the hall is surrounded by believers on the inner and outer three floors, not to mention the door, and even the window cannot be closed.
Daxiangguo Temple dispatched dozens of walkers to maintain order here, lest one of them be careless, and there will be a stampede.
In the middle of the main hall, a low table is placed on a high platform, and the table is displayed with tea, incense burner, and a few morning lotuses.
Also on the stage was the great monk Zhixin in a red robe, who had already bathed and changed his clothes, sat on the altar with his feet on his feet, and was slowing down his speech and speaking the scriptures.
At this time, it is the story of King Jizo Bodhisattva.
"The great bodhisattva can give birth to righteousness, righteousness, Tibetan righteousness, righteousness, and immovable righteousness, in total, these seven righteousness, Bodhi wonderful mind, solid as a rock, indestructible, its patience and immobility are like the earth, and meditation is deep like a secret ...... The Great Bodhisattva once made a vow that all sentient beings would advance and attain Bodhi; Hell is not empty, and you will not become a Buddha......"
The voice of the great monk Zhixin is like a stone in the hollow valley, coming out of the dantian, looking effortless, but it is farther than ordinary people speaking loudly, as if it has an echo, it is like a Buddhist language, everyone in the hall looks up and listens, as if intoxicated.
The white smoke from the sandalwood incense rose from the hole in the incense burner, and his dignified face, which was originally only two points of Buddha's face, lined out the five points of Buddha's meaning.
After speaking the scriptures for half an hour, Zhixin came to an end, leaving time for people to ask questions.
Someone raised his hand and stood up and said, "Master, I used to grow vegetables in the field, but now that I am older, my waist and legs are like countless insects and ants gnawing on my waist and legs day and night, but I rarely eat meat once a year, but the one next door grew up, when I was young, my family had money, and I ate meat every day, and now I am three years older, but I have never had such a disease, I don't know what the reason is?" ”
The great monk Zhixin said, "You come forward." ”
And the man stepped forward.
The great monk Zhixin carefully looked at his face once, and then looked at his palmistry, and said: "You only know that you have less meat and less fish in this life, but you don't know that you were a butcher in your previous life, killing sheep and donkeys is not counted, and you always try your best to torture the living soul before you die. ”
As soon as he lowered his head, he saw that the man's cuffs and waist were stained with ash from the bottom of the pot, and saw that the man's eyes were red, and when he spoke, he had a hot breath, his teeth were yellow and sparse, and his tongue was thick with white moss. ”
The man was amazed and said, "How does the master know that I have no wife or children!" He added, "Sure enough, the Guru Dharma is unmatched, and he knows the past and the future!" ”
He was ashamed and said: "The villain must be a good life and do good deeds in this life, don't let the next life be like this life!" ”
and retreated.
There was a commotion in the hall when he ascended, and everyone turned their heads and ears, and their eyes were full of admiration when they looked at the stage.
Zhixin saw everyone's words and expressions, and was very proud in his heart, but his face was silent, and he said: "The poor monk opened the altar to preach the scriptures this time, but he can't bear to see you sink into the world and create evil karma without knowing it. ”
Everyone in the hall listened with great gratitude, and they kept chanting the Buddha.
The great monk Zhixin saw that the atmosphere in the field was very suitable, and at the right time, he spoke again: "Many years ago, I went to the north to preach the scriptures, and the barbarians treated me as a guest. ”
He sighed again: "It's a pity that I was in a hurry to return to Beijing at that time, and I couldn't avoid this disaster!" ”
I regret it very much.
A person who was wearing a brown and yellow satin, pine, bamboo, and plum brocade skirt, and who looked like a rich merchant woman, said, "The master is compassionate! If the master was still in Yanzhou at that time, he would have been able to teach that there would be few wars on the border, but unfortunately by mistake, otherwise, the master would have already been purple! ”
For a while, everyone agreed, you praised "the guru is not afraid of difficulties", I praised "the guru's great compassion", and he said, "It is the meaning of the Buddhist family to sacrifice his life to feed the lion, which is a great merit".
Zhixin listened to it flutteringly, but there was still a look of humility on his face, and he was about to say two words, not wanting to suddenly make a commotion at the door, and after a while, several people dressed as officials walked in from outside.
The two walkers of the Great Xiangguo Temple led the way in front of them, and came to Dezhixin, and hurriedly said: "Master Zhixin, this is the official of the Sanglu Division. ”
