The Pu Shi altar generally recites the Heart Sutra, followed by the "Three Mantras" to the altar.

The lonely soul altar is to place the lotus card, no matter how much, and the "soul-drawing" ceremony is carried out after the altar is cleaned.

The monks read the sparse texts on the yellow paper and led the ghosts into the altar.

Reciting the "Heart Sutra", "Mantra of Death" and "Three Mantras", and finally the great eunuch who has been staying behind clicks with a red pen on the bulletin list, and the whole opening of the altar is over in the morning.

Anyway, the mother and daughter of the Du family were not in a hurry for time, so Shi Liu simply took their mother and daughter and the people who were waiting with them to her small Zen courtyard.

Sit directly in the courtyard around a stone table.

The legal clever took out a complete set of tea sets, and the servants and maids of the Du family also helped to boil water and serve snacks and other work.

At first glance, there was no one idle.

I don't know where there are so many things for them to do.

Second Mrs. Du looked at the courtyard, it was really smaller than the small courtyard where the average aunt of the Du family lived.

distressed: "The fourth prince is really wronged. ”

Shi Liu raised his eyebrows: "Where did the second aunt see that I was wronged?" I think it's nice here. Although the residence is a little smaller than the palace, it is more free. ”

"That's what my cousin said. I also think it's nice here. Du Qixuan really thinks that this small courtyard is full of vitality and is very good to live in.

An old tree in the yard, with its lush branches and leaves, can provide shelter from the summer sun in the yard.

At this moment, sitting in this small courtyard, I don't feel stuffy.

If Shi Liu really wants to chat with someone, it's not that he can't talk.

It's just that she can only be regarded as a five-year-old child now, and if she speaks too out of line, it is not a good thing.

So basically what they say, she can answer whatever she can.

If you don't want to answer or feel that it's out of the line, you can't pretend you don't understand.

It's really easy to use.

Second Mrs. Du felt that the four princes in front of her really didn't look like princes, but if she wanted to say that she was like a little novice,

I have never seen a little novice who has lived a nourished life.

Du Qixuan felt that the little novice in front of her was really not at all like the young monk in his impression, who was handsome and had a dusty temperament.

"Cousin, have you thought about it in the future?"

"Why be vulgar? I'm here for a good time. ”

Belch~

Second Mrs. Du said in a slightly reproachful tone: "You kid, you naturally think it's good to be here now." When you grow up, you may feel that life outside the monastery is better. ”

Shi Liu shook his head firmly: "No." I'm from outside the temple, and I'm not like Nobushi who has never lived outside the temple. ”

Hearing his answer, Du Qixuan was very happy.

Whether he wants to return to the world in the future or not, at least at this moment he really feels that life in the monastery is better and freer.

If she could, she also wanted to shave off the three thousand troubles directly, and become a monk.

It's just that she also knows that it can only be for her to think about it, if she really wants to do this, and where is the family who has always loved her.

Du Qixuan's eyes looked at the porch, and saw that the lotus lamps of various colors were stacked one after another.

"Cousin, is the lotus lantern over there prepared for the river lantern at night?"

"yes. If you don't have one, you can take two later. ”

"Thank you so much, cousin."

After chatting for a while, it was noon, and Shi Liu originally went to Wuguan Hall to eat with other monks on weekdays.

Occasionally, of course, I only eat in this small meditation temple.

Now that the mother and daughter of the Du family are here, she will directly ask the law to send the food to the small courtyard.

Others are allowed to be brought elsewhere for dinner.

In the afternoon, there will also be a "confession" ceremony.

Therefore, after resting for a while, everyone went back to the place where the front hall was doing business.

The evening is the most important part of the full day puja.

The ritual of Pushi is mainly to set off a flame mouth.

The flame vent also needs to be set up with three altars: the yoga altar, the face burning altar, and the spiritual altar.

The yoga altar is set up indoors according to the number of people.

The Altar and the Altar are located outdoors opposite the Yoga Altar.

The so-called face burner is a life-size paper figure with an ugly appearance and three bifurcated red flames (like three tongues sticking out of the mouth) flowing from his mouth.

On the altar are all tablets of the undead that are written "Buddha Li recommends the lotus position of so-and-so".

As long as the family members sincerely participate in this flame mouth puja for the deceased, the tablets on the altar are also irrespective of the number.

At the beginning of the ceremony, the master of the yoga altar led the monks to sing "Yang Zhi Pure Water Praise" to clean the altar.

After the altar is cleaned, the altar is opened, and the host recites the "Praise of Incense" and offers incense on the yoga altar, and the believers also offer incense.

Pray in the order of the monks and laymen.

Then the lord, monks, and laymen worship incense on the altar, and the monks recite the Heart Sutra, the Mantra of Death, and the Mantra of Changing Food.

Sing "Lotus Pond Praise" and recite "Amitabha".

So the people then went to worship on the altar of incense and chant sutras.

The three altars were opened in order, and the monks ascended the altar.

After the main seat finished the inquiry, the ring ruler struck, and the monks opened the "Yoga Flame Mouth Food Collection" volume and chanted.

Then seal and sing the six-character mantra one hundred and eight times.

The final consummation of the mudra is to burn the paper figurines and tablets on the altar and the altar of the mourning during the chanting.

In order to show the consummation of merit and send away the dead.

After throwing the food on the altar, the lord took off his hat and stood up, and sang "Dedication" after three dozen inquiries.

This is the end of the flame ceremony.

After the flame is released, the monks and laymen put the river lantern and burn the Dharma boat spirit room.

In the end, the whole festival ended in this firelight.

By the time the whole event is over, it's actually time to do it.

On this day, the curfew was also postponed in all cities.

The devotees left the monastery in an orderly manner.

Shi Liu directly sent the mother and daughter of the Du family out of the temple when the monks were about to light the Dharma boat.

At this time, although some people left, there were not many after all.

Seeing them off, Shi Liu shook his head, and couldn't help but sigh that this day was really tiring.

If you are one of the Dharma monks, then you will be even more tired.

So it's imperative to lose weight.

It seems that the Dao Sect method is not suitable for further cultivation.

It's okay to exercise physical skills, and it is necessary to save time and read more basic scriptures.

At the end of the day, Shiliu discovered many new scriptures that she had not heard before.

Alas~

Why are there so many scriptures?

Originally, I thought that all I needed to do was learn the Diamond Sutra, the Heart Sutra, and the Myoho-renge-kyo Sutra.

As a result, I don't talk about morning and evening classes, I just want to be a great monk, at least I know how to operate all the rituals.

In that way, the number of scriptures that need to be studied will rise in a straight line.

Alas~

I couldn't help but sigh again, forget it, I'm tired of my little fat today, so let's go back and wash and sleep early.

I had a good night's sleep, and I was woken up early the next morning by habit.

couldn't help but yawn big,

Try to open your eyes, get dressed and get out of bed.

It's a new day,

I can't continue to be lazy from today.

It is time to learn, and it is time to practice.

Strive to be a traveling monk before you reach adulthood.

When the time comes, let's go, and see where you goblins go to seduce me.
