In layman's terms, it's really interesting.

How can one person speak, so many people listen, and there is no loudspeaker, so that everyone can hear it?

Sure enough, the wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated.

The question of how to diffuse sound was already in mind at the beginning of the construction of these buildings.

Therefore, when the presiding officer came to the stage and began to preach, even the farthest devotees could still hear the voice clearly.

The common talk of precept one is about the Buddhist scriptures, but the tone and frustration are very interesting.

While the believers and monks smiled in their hearts, they also understood the Buddhist scriptures in their hearts, and each gained something.

It was the first time that Shi Liu knew that the lay monks of the original Buddhist family were like this.

If you compare the Buddha with the enlightened monks, isn't it like a storyteller telling a story?

Sure enough, after Buddhism spread to the land of China, Buddhist teachings were integrated with the local Chinese culture.

Listening to this, Shi Liu felt that he had a new understanding and knowledge of the Buddha and the Dharma.

In addition to the presiding officer, two monks went up to give a layman.

The event continued until sunset, when the devotees reluctantly left the monastery.

In the next two days, the monks in the monastery will also prepare for the Buddha's birthday on the eighth day of the first month.

Shiliu is at ease, and it is common to say that he stays alone in the small Zen courtyard to digest it.

The law is running in and out, and it seems very busy.

He was also curious about how the other monks were preparing for it, and he had to take care of Shi Liu's daily needs for food and daily life.

For him running back and forth, Shi Liu didn't care.

Anyway, add some tea or something to herself, and she can't really move herself.

Early in the morning of the eighth day of the first month of April, the entire Tanyuan Temple began to be busy.

There are many activities in the Buddha bathing festival.

Early in the morning, Shi Liu got up and followed the second-generation monks to the temple with clothes and tools.

Unexpectedly, there were already many pilgrims waiting quietly in the temple.

Without looking at others, Shi Liu followed in the footsteps of the other monks and stood in the east and west columns.

Although he is tall, he is even shorter, so even if he stands in the front position, Shi Liu can still only see other people's thighs and buttocks without looking up.

That's fucking up, isn't it?

I come once a year, but she can't make herself taller all at once.

In the future, if she is involved in every major festival event, she can only follow others to eat fart, so what the hell is she going to participate in.

The fragmented thoughts in my heart disappeared after I suddenly heard the chime.

After bowing three times with the monks around and on the opposite side, six people in the procession went out to greet the Buddha statue.

When I looked up, I saw two ushers holding the chime, two deacons holding incense plates, and the abbot of the ring was behind, and the waiters were accompanying them.

The six of them chanted in unison, "Buddha Shakyamuni of Nan Wu Benshi".

The statue of the prince greeted him all the way to the main hall from the upper floor.

Then I saw Master Jieyi offering incense, exhibiting utensils, and prostrating three times in the main hall.

After that, Shi Liu silently began to chant with all the monks: "Ji Shou takes refuge in the Great Juezun, a supreme capable person, and sees the suffering of all sentient beings." Under the Dou rate Heavenly Palace, the palace descended, and the snow ridge was repaired. The top of the magpie's nest, a three-story barrier, six years of asceticism. If a person takes refuge in the Great Enlightenment, he will not fall into perdition. ”

The bells and drums in the main hall rang in unison, and after chanting, the abbot placed the statue of the prince in the golden pot of fragrant soup.

I don't know what the fragrant soup is made of Shi Liu, but the smell from the fragrant soup is quite good, and she can still smell it in her nose.

Shi Liu was still thinking about what the ingredients of the fragrant soup were, so he saw that the abbot of Jieyi placed the statue of the prince and put incense again, and unfolded the bedding and bowed upwards for three times and said: "My Buddha has a mantra for bathing." ”

Vina: "Chant it." ”

The monks began to sing the "Bathing Mantra" again, and Shi Liu found that he could only open and close his mouth silently.

I feel like I'm a puppet being pulled by someone else.

Or it is more vivid to draw a scoop according to the gourd.

When the mouth opened and closed silently, the monks were already heard singing incense:

"The Bodhisattva descended to the clouds and was born in the palace of the King of Pure Rice. Maya gave birth to a golden boy on the right flank, and the heavenly music played in the sky. Look at the four directions and take seven steps, pointing to the sky and the earth. Nine dragons spit water and Mu Cirong, and all laws are in the middle. ”

At this moment, Shi Liu was actually a little dizzy to hear.

I heard the sound of chimes again, and saw that the abbot of the precept bowed three times and said the eulogy, and the long string of stone willows indicated that they did not understand.

The monks sang Shi Liu's "Buddha Treasure Praise" and "Praise Buddha" at all.

Shi Liu would only follow the name of "Nan Wu Benshi Shakyamuni Buddha".

While chanting according to the beat, the monks left their positions in turn under the leadership of Vina.

Walk slowly to the statue of the Nativity. Then take turns to put one hand together as the chest, and the other hand with a small spoon to scoop the fragrant soup into the prince's statue, and then return to the original position around the Buddha's three turns.

Shi Liu is tall, and it will soon be her turn, but she is too short, so she can only stand on tiptoe on the mat and barely scoop water on the statue of the prince.

The side was all poured from the beginning, and she could only start from under her shoulders.

Forget it, I really tried my best.

The individual monks may end quickly, but it really takes a long time to go through all the monks one by one.

After all the monks returned to the throne, they recited the "Dedication Text" that Shiliu had never heard: "May the three obstacles and troubles be eliminated, and may the wisdom be truly clear; May all sins and obstacles be eliminated, and the world will always practice the bodhisattva path. ”

This is not the end, but also to sing "Three Refuges".

After singing, the chime sounded, and all the monks recited the "Bathing Buddha Merit" in unison, and finally turned around and bowed upwards three times.

At this point, the monks' bathing puja came to a successful conclusion.

But the pilgrims are just the beginning.

The pilgrims went one by one according to their previous positions to scoop the incense soup of the prince and pray for blessings.

There are all kinds of things to pray for, the most common ones are the safety of the family, the success of the imperial examination, the request for children, and the promotion of officials and wealth.

Later, carp or turtles are released in the lotus pond in front of the main hall.

"Legally, what are you going to do?" Shi Liu originally wanted to go back and rest well, but when he saw the law walking in the direction of the library pavilion, he couldn't help but ask.

The law stopped and said happily: "Master, the weather is good today, the sun is good, the senior brothers in charge of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion want to dry the books today, I will help." ”

"Okay, then you can go by yourself."

"Master, is there anything I need to do?"

Shi Liu waved his hand: "No, you can go." ”

"Then I'll go. If you have something to say, I'll get back right away. ”

"Huh."

She didn't do anything about this ceremony, she just stood and worshipped and recited, and she felt tired and panicked after the whole session.

I don't have the energy to help dry books anymore.

More importantly, she felt that she was suffocating, and she had to solve it immediately.

Unexpectedly, it has only been more than a month, and she is already very used to the extra little Ding Ding under her.

Terrible, terrible.

The mouth is terrible, and the actual action has been quite skillful to take out the little Ding Ding and sway the water column wantonly.

After the shhhh

Shake the little dingding, shake your hands, well, let's go wash your hands.
