The small Zen temple is on a hill that is not high.

When the three of them went up the mountain, they saw the pestle in the hand of the statue of Wei Tuo in front of the temple on the ground, and they could not entertain the monks who traveled here to eat and live for free.

It's not free, but it's good to have a place to rest and put a stick of incense on the Buddha.

In the monastery there is an old monk and a little novice,

Although the temple is small, the incense is very strong.

In such a short mountain road, the three of Shiliu have already met several groups of pilgrims who came to offer incense.

The old monk looked at him a little angrily, but the little novice kept smiling and seemed to be fine.

After entering the temple, he first put a stick of incense on the Buddha, and then waited until the pilgrims were gone, and after the old monk was free, Shi Liu went over and said to the old monk: "Master, the three of the little monks are all from Kyoto Tangaki Temple, this is our precept." Ask the mage to take a look. ”

"Amitabha. The poor monk is three releases, that is the old apprentice Siqing. After introducing himself, the old monk said to the little apprentice: "Siqing, close the temple gate." ”

Siqing smiled and said loudly, "Master, there are still pilgrims here." ”

"Then let them come back tomorrow."

"Oh." After the resignation, Siqing still ran out with a smile on his face and said something to the pilgrims, and then closed the temple door with force.

For their decision, the trio as outsiders were naturally silent.

"The three of you want to rest here?"

Shi Liu folded his hands and said respectfully: "It is precisely with this intention that I am tired of the three Shi Zen masters." ”

"It's not bothering, but the temple is small, so you have to pay for food."

"It should. Legally, give the Buddha a big stick of incense. ”

Then the old monk took the three of them to the backyard and pointed to a house and said, "There are only three huts, one each occupied by the old man and the little apprentice, and only this one can be left for you to rest." ”

"Thank you, old Zen master."

This is a large room with bunks inside, and two small rooms next to it.

When they put away their luggage,

Sanshi led them to a grass pavilion in the backyard.

"Siqing, go boil water to make tea."

He immediately said, "I'm good at this, I'll do it." It's just to trouble the little master to lead the way. ”

Siqing took the law to boil water to make tea,

Shi Liu looked at the surrounding environment, the mountain is not high, but it is quite charming.

There are also two vegetable plots on the edge of the grass pavilion, which were obviously reclaimed by the old Zen master himself.

Shi Liu said: "Where is the Pure Land? This is it. ”

Sanshi looked at her with a smile: "There is a Buddha in my heart, and the downtown area is also a pure land." ”

"Overgrown with weeds, you can't cultivate ruthless laws."

"Where is not ruthless."

"Please ask the old Zen master to talk about the ruthless law?"

"I said, did you hear that?"

Shi Liu shook his head: "I didn't hear it." ”

"I said you haven't heard it yet, let alone say it ruthlessly."

Listening to them, Xinzhi seemed to have an understanding, and suddenly interjected and asked, "Is there any basis for the ruthless statement?" ”

Sansha's eyes were round with anger, and he shouted: "Haven't you read the Amitabha Sutra? It is said in the scriptures that waterfowl and trees all perform Dharma sounds. ”

Shi Liu suddenly said: "Oh, don't say it ruthlessly, you can see it." ”

Then Xinzhi also said: "Amitabha, chanting sutras every day, talking and listening to the ears in his mouth, but forgetting to listen to the Dharma with his eyes." ”

For the young monks who are perceptive, the old monk Sansha is happy.

Although he looks angry, he can also make people feel warm when he is happy.

Then he looked at Shi Liu and Nobu Zhi: "Where is the Pure Land?" ”

Shi Liu pointed to his heart, but Nobushi pointed to the ground under his feet.

"Where does the grass not grow at a glance?"

Shi Liu and Shi Liu looked at each other and shook their heads, and then all three of them laughed.

Siqing carried the freshly boiled hot water and said to the legal person holding the tea tray and tea set in the back: "My master rarely laughs, it seems that the two senior brothers are quite proud." ”

"That's right, my master and nephew are amazing."

Master, nephew?

"Oh, you're three generations. If I were the same generation as your master, wouldn't you call me uncle? ”

Statutory:......

Later, the three of Shiliu followed the Sansha Zen Master to do morning and evening classes every day, watching him unsign the pilgrims, and sometimes he would also treat the believers at the foot of the mountain.

Follow them to tidy up the two plots, weeds and insects.

Shiliu doesn't like to catch insects, because catching insects can't hurt its life.

According to her nature, it was really just a pinching death.

The Buddha said that all living beings are equal, and that all living beings naturally include this little vegetable worm.

The pilgrims worship the Buddha on incense, no matter how many copper coins they throw into the merit box, the three releases and the four celebrations are all smiling.

Seeing a doctor is not in vain, rich believers will naturally pay money, and believers who have no money can even send two greens to their families.

But just see a doctor, don't administer medicine.

The explanation of the three Buddha Zen masters is: The Buddha has long said that the Dharma is not passed on lightly, and if it is passed on lightly, it will not be cherished.

Shi Liu agrees with this statement.

She sometimes helps to see a doctor, but as long as the Zen Master does not open her mouth to let her diagnose, she will easily not open her mouth.

Nobushi also learned some simple medical theories.

Unsigning is actually a technical job.

Different people have different solutions for the same lot.

Every time Xinzhi followed along, and then silently compared with the solution of the three Buddha Zen masters in his heart, if there is a correct one, then he can be happy all day.

If there is a discrepancy, they will also try to think about it, and if they can't think of it, they will seek advice from the three masters.

The statutory is to cover the sanitation work of the temple.

Other times, he took Siqing to teach him some basic fist and foot kung fu.

In fact, Siqing himself followed Sanshi and also learned health skills.

However, children are always not qualitatively qualified, and they really can't love meditation.

However, combining the basic Buddhist fists and feet kung fu and practicing health preservation skills is very effective.

This made Siqing very happy.

After spending a month in this small Zen monastery, Shi Liu planned to leave.

"Thank you old Zen master for solving your doubts these days."

"You can understand, it's your own ability."

Although Xinzhi was reluctant to leave, after all, this place did not receive wandering monks for free, and he didn't bring any money when he went out.

Speaking of which, he didn't have any money himself, and he couldn't bring it if he wanted to.

It was only when I went out this time that I learned the use of money.

While sorting out her little baggage, Shi Liu said to Nobuchi, "If you want, you can completely attach yourself here to practice. ”

Xinzhi shook his head: "I have gained a lot, and I have learned a lot from following the three Buddha Zen masters." I want to follow my uncle and ancestor to continue to travel and practice. ”

"Okay, let's go."

When Shi Liu said goodbye to Zen Master Sanshi, he saw that the two of them were still at the door of the temple, quite reluctant.

"Gone, legal."

"Here we are, Master." The legal person replied loudly and turned his head to say a few words to Siqing, and then folded his hands and said goodbye.

On the way down the mountain, they met familiar pilgrims, and they would also think that it was a pity that the three of them were gone.

Then went all the way down and went directly into Suhuai City.

"Master, what are we doing in the city?"

"Practice."
