Chapter 60: The Return of Hokkeji Temple (2)

When Mo Xiuyuan heard Shang De say this, he also thought of Tao Manman's dedication to eating. Perhaps, she really thought of a way to get a delicious meal.

"Brother, did you think of something too? Hahahaha, let's wait! Shande smiled and left.

Mo Xiuyuan didn't pay attention to Shangde, who entertained himself, but went to find the true god of Zhiding.

"Master, the apprentice has come to see you again. How do you feel today? Do you want to send you some more fairy power? Mo Xiuyuan was just outside listening to Shang De's analysis, the possibility that Tao Manman would come here to eat is not far from ten.

Then Mo Xiuyuan's mood was beautiful, and even greeting the true god of Zhiding was so humanly flavorful.

"Hey, Xiaoyuan, you have become very worldly now, you used to be wouldn't have greeted Master like this. Is this to stay in the world for a long time and be assimilated? Or is there something to celebrate? "Knowing the true god can be said to be the person in the entire immortal world who knows Mo Xiuyuan's character best.

A person with a straight face all day long suddenly joked about it, indicating that there must be a story in it.

"Just now the junior brother told a joke at the door, which is quite funny, and the master still has this skill.

It can make people feel humorous. Mo Xiuyuan didn't answer from the front, and directly threw the pot to Master Shangde.

Master Shangde, who was leaving, sneezed a few times inexplicably, "Huh? Who's thinking about me? Could it be that the new boys in the kitchen want to pass me and catch up with Master? These little guys don't know how thick the sky is.

Master Shangde buried the little monk who didn't do anything for a while. I went directly to the main hall to guard Tao Manman.

Although the vegetarian food in Fahua Temple is very attractive, but the girl will definitely have a good face, come here to guard it by herself, send an excuse to Tao Manman, and leave her to eat.

Sure enough, the hard work paid off, and Master Shangde waited for Tao Manman.

But isn't this Tao Manman a little shrunk severely?

Other children's children are all growing up, and if this child is Tao Manman, she will shrink into a milk doll overnight.

At this time, Master Shangde saw such a scene in front of him, an old grandfather with two children. Well, it seems that I have a bit too much to call other people's grandfathers.

Let's call him old man for the time being. The milk doll that this old man carries is different from yesterday except for the same breath.

What should I do?

Master Shangde was very distressed.

I can't just go up and arrest someone and ask you if you were yesterday's Tao Manman? Then come with me to the back of the monastery and have a meal.

Just when Master Shangde was entangled, Li Yuxuan, who went to buy water, came back.

It turned out to be the four of them, who had been waiting here for a long time to hike up the mountain, and after waiting for so long, they didn't see anyone else.

Li Yuxuan, who couldn't bear his thirst, decided to buy a bottle of water, which was what Master Shangde thought.

By the time the other Tao family members had reached the top of the mountain, Master Shangde was gone.

Li Yuxuan handed the purchased water to Xu Mengqi as soon as possible, and then distributed it to others.

Mr. Tao took advantage of everyone's presence to give everyone the precautions for popular science and other incense.

Old Man Tao took a sip of water and meditated for two seconds, then his thoughts opened and began to come gushingly, "Burn three incense, one to worship the Buddha, one to respect the Dharma, and one to respect the monk;

The middle of the mat in the temple is for the family to worship the Buddha, and the man in the family kneels and worships on the left, and the woman uses the right;

When entering the temple door, hats and canes should be carried or stored in other rooms, and should not be placed on the Buddha's table or table.

Try not to go in the middle, go up along the edge of the stairs, men on the left and women on the right, try not to go through the main gate when entering the door, because the abbot door enters from the main gate during the evening class, and the novice enters from the side door, so in order to be consistent with the temple, everyone should try to enter from the side door, the male left and the woman right, try to cross the right foot when entering, and go out from the side door when you go out, do not step on the threshold, because the general temple threshold is very high.

When entering the temple gate, never step on the threshold. ”

Old Man Tao said that he rested for a while, and then continued, "In ancient China, whether people were fighting wars or praying for children, the first thing they thought of was to burn incense and worship Buddha. There are also many sayings when making incense, three incense, the first incense is to worship the sky, because the ancient people mainly rely on the sky and the earth to eat, and worship the sky hopes that the wind and rain will be smooth in the coming year. The second pillar of incense is to respect the earth, hoping for a bumper harvest in the coming year. The third incense, respect the ancestors, thank the ancestors for bless themselves, and create a family business for the family. This statement is generally accepted.

Entrance door: There are many doors in the temple building, and there is a particular way to enter through which gate.

Only temples that have opened the light are eligible to cultivate the thirteen gates. The three gates in the middle are for people to enter and exit. Ordinary tourists can only enter the gate on the right, and the gate in the middle is called the empty door, and only monks can enter and exit.

When entering the door, the male guest takes the left foot first, and the female guest takes the right foot first, and this step needs to be as big as possible. At the same time, when entering the temple in the temple, the principle of entering the left door and exiting the right door should be followed.

Note: One must not step on the threshold (the threshold is said to represent the shoulders of the Buddha, and of course cannot be stepped on).

It is best to light incense with your own fire (three sticks are sufficient, you don't need to burn a lot of them), facing the gate of the main hall; Gently grasp the three sticks of green incense with both hands (the man's left hand is on the top, the right hand is on the bottom, and the woman is the opposite), and suddenly lift it upwards, and the burning fire will be extinguished immediately, and must not be blown out with the mouth

Buddha is important and burning incense is secondary, but you also need to know some of the taboos and precautions. And the precautions for burning incense are as follows:

First, the use of Buddha incense. Do not use inferior incense to burn to the Buddha and Bodhisattva, such incense will only offend the gods and Buddhas, and will not be blessed. Generally speaking, burning natural incense is the correct way to worship the Buddha with incense. It is recommended to go to the official website of the phaseless copper furnace to set a good point of natural incense offerings.

2. Do not use a killer hand to light incense (right-handed, left-handed opposite).

3. Except for Buddhist scriptures, Buddha statues and offerings, nothing else can be brought in. Also, the Buddha mascots placed at home are also particular, among which it is not suitable to place the Buddha's head; This is a suitable Buddha mascot for the phaseless copper furnace.

Fourth, before burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, you should first purify your body and mind, wash your hands, and do not look around when entering.

5. Even if you discuss the Dharma when worshipping the Buddha, you should not laugh or talk loudly.

Well, you won't necessarily remember it.

Let's go in and burn incense and pray for blessings! ”

Although praying is an excuse, praying still has to be done.

Pray for the blessings of the Buddha and Bodhisattva, so that all demons and obstacles will be eliminated, the body and mind will be healthy, and the family will be harmonious and prosperous
