Chapter 4: Return to the World
Reincarnation from the heavenly realm to the human world is the most accurate description in two words, horror!
It's like bungee jumping from Mount Everest, the process is so exciting that many beings from the heavenly realm will often have dreams like this, that is, free fall in the sky, about 20 minutes or so, and then suddenly your eyes are dark, OK, you are already in your mother's belly.
Miao Xuan still has such dreams, he is timid, and he can't play a roller coaster. Senior Brother Dajue, as a personal experience, really doesn't want to play this free fall, if you come to the heavenly realm is relatively high, and you have to fall layer by layer, it is simply terrifying.
Ok, whether you like it or not, since you want to come down, even if the Bodhisattva sends you down, this process can't be saved.
Miao Xuan was born in a wealthy family with a very solid family because the blessings have not yet been enjoyed, and he was reincarnated as a man, which is a very delicate kind of small fresh meat. And it's an only son, it's a big elder son, his father is the richest man in the area, but she came to the northwest side of Tianmu Mountain when she was reincarnated. It is the Huizhou generation. Because there is really no one in Tianmu Mountain who can match his good fortune. After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the merchants of Huizhou were basically the most bullish, and the so-called Confucian merchants actually referred to the merchants of Huizhou at that time, because the local merchants were very cultural, and paid special attention to education, architecture and food.
And Jiangcun in She County, Huizhou, can be said to be a rich village in the Jiajing period, Jiangcun was doing a lot of business at that time, and the richest man in Jiangcun at that time was Jiang Xixian, that is, Miaoxuan's father, to Miaoxuan's generation has been four generations rich, and Miaoxuan's name has also been changed to a boy's name Jiang Shijun, because the Jiang family was extremely rich at that time, and they all hoped that wealth could be passed on from generation to generation, so at that time, the Jiang family's generation was the "world" generation, and Miaoxuan was the most handsome, so his father named him Jiang Shijun.
Children from the heavenly realm are generally relatively smart, and Miao Xuan was a good girl before, so she was born very happy and easy to raise, and she is a good child who is filial and smart.
Although Miao Xuan is smart, it is the first time he has come into contact with the red tape of the world, although it is said that his parents are indisobedient, but he is really not talented. So the imperial examination ended in failure three times, but that's it. The family has money, and they don't care at all. This is all a blessing, and he is an only son, and it is not enough to feel distressed, plus he is a well-known handsome guy and a rich fourth generation. There is not much difference between this life on earth and in heaven.
Especially the cousins of the Jiang family are really huge, Jiang Shichuan, Jiang Shilu, Jiang Shiluan, Jiang .....Shilu, Jiang Shilu, in short, the Jiang family goes to the exam from 50 people, this scale, this dress, it is quite neat and face-saving. Every time they go to the exam, they will go to their family temple to worship, which is called Shuixi Temple. Because the temple is in the west of Lianshui, the people of the time called it Shuixi Temple, or the Ten Temples. The ten temples are: Luohan Temple, Ruyi Temple, Jingzang Temple, Isojue Temple, Fusheng Temple, Wuming Temple, Changqing Temple, Jingming Temple, Miaofa Temple and Zhutian Pavilion. Think about it, if the Jiang family can donate to build ten temples, then there is no one in the whole country. Shijun's favorite temple is Ruyi Temple, and it seems that he still retains the memory of Ruyi Heavenly Palace. Ruyi Temple, which enshrines Confucius and Guanyin, and the Jade Emperor, is considered to be the Jiang family's own offering method, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism three-in-one, anyway Jiang Shijun, the favorite worship is Guanyin, although the Bodhisattva did not bless him to get famous, but he still has a natural sense of intimacy.
Although there are few people in their Jiang family who have the mind to be officials, they have quite a heritage in business. The Jiang family can be said to kill the whole of China in seconds in the "world" generation, and the overall wealth is really no sei, what do you want, in the Jiajing year of the Ming Dynasty, when you mention the Jiang family in She County, Huizhou, it will be the same feeling as when we mention Ma Yun and Li Ka-shing now.
So much so, until now in this life, Miao Xuan has not had to work for a long time, several apartments, and there are people to support. And the most interesting thing is that she was born in She County, Huizhou. There is no ambiguity in fate, it must be tightly sewn until you kneel, and the merit of the right three turns around the tower is really not convincing to you.
A rich fourth generation like Shijun can become a nobleman, and he is also a handsome guy with a small fresh meat type, which can be said to be the threshold broken by the matchmaker at that time. But because the strength of the Jiang family is too good, there are few who can really match, so there was basically no love at that time. Finally, when he was 17 years old, his father betrothed him, and his wife was very knowledgeable and reasonable, and her appearance was still very good. They respected each other like guests and also had three sons, all of whom later achieved certain successes. That is to say, it is actually very dull, without any thrilling love story. Because Miaoxuan has always been a good girl. So, I disappointed everyone again, in fact, there are really no twists and turns in the story after middle age, because their family background is too thick, and doing anything is a monopoly, and there is a huge family system. So I think that as long as you don't do much, everyone will be just as successful, but Shijun still relies on his good fortune to carry forward the family business to a higher level.
It can be said that Jiang Shijun's family is the most standard five-good family, and everything is so reliable.
When he was in his 50s, Shijun suddenly became distracted, maybe his wife was old and yellow, and his appearance was really intolerable, maybe it was the maturity of the karma of Tianmu Nu's life, maybe it was too much money to spend, in short, he married more than ten concubines, and enjoyed life every day.
It is inevitable that this will happen in the world. In view of the fact that the rest of his life was meaningless, and that he had done all kinds of things except to consume good fortune, Avalokiteshvara took him away at the age of 59.
According to the remnants of people's accumulated blessings and the culture and merits accumulated in the world, it will be converted into the image of the Guanyin Dojo, some are adults, some are children, a bit like the exchange rate, and when Shijun is almost done, go to the Guanyin Dojo and exchange it with the exchange rate, and there will only be three years old. Poor baby, basically can't do anything. In addition to sticking to Guanyin's mother, there is almost nothing, a word is annoying!.
And Brother Dajue because of the merits of supporting the water and land festival converted into an exchange rate to the Guanyin Dojo, and also became an eight-year-old boy, but I am the idol of many children, although I am also the image of a child, but I am about 8 years old, and I can fly freely on the lotus, and often accompany the white-clothed priest to run errands. There are very few of this in the Guanyin Dojo, and it may also be the habit of the elder brother of Dajue, restless, bold and daring to go to Pk, sometimes the Bodhisattva is too busy, and there are some small cases, so I sent a little boy to do it, I really can't do it, and the Bodhisattva will come forward to settle it. Therefore, in this life, many children from the Guanyin Dojo are reincarnated, and they are still used to calling me Senior Brother, but not used to calling me Senior Brother Dajue.
I've been the elder brother of these boys in the Guanyin Dojo of Luojia Mountain for a long time, but I'm still a little over 8 years old, and I want to be as solemn as Guanyin Bodhisattva. I asked the Bodhisattva, why am I growing up so slowly, and when will I become like you, with great powers and a solemn appearance? The Bodhisattva said, "Special achievements are only in the world", the Bodhisattva's style is never inked, and if you don't understand it, you can only ponder it slowly. Later, I finally figured out that if you want to attain the realm of being indistinguishable from a bodhisattva, you must come to the human world to achieve it, because you have to have more courage to reincarnate, you may lose all your supernatural powers and abilities, you may lose it, and you may create a lot of karma. Moreover, when we go to the world, only by having a greater heart to benefit sentient beings and pragmatically landing can we achieve special merits, and we are no different from bodhisattvas in terms of image and ability. In the process of accompanying the Bodhisattva to the world to do errands, I found that the world is full of turbidity, it is simply a miasma, and the bigger the city, the dirtier it is, like the places in the west where there are few people, it is not so dirty. But the Bodhisattva just let me be reincarnated in a big city, and the city that will mainly benefit sentient beings in the future will still be a big city, why, there are many people, there is a lot of traffic, there is a big market, and there is a lot of merit. Therefore, before the reincarnation of this life, the Bodhisattva designated Shanghai as my birthplace, and considering the horror of free fall, before the reincarnation, I was scared and returned to the appearance of a dragon, which was really exciting and the prototype appeared. So much so that my mother actually saw me in a dream and almost named me "Dream Dragon". According to the Bodhisattva's protection, before the age of six, I saw a lot of panoramas of the Dharma Realm that ordinary people could not see, so that before I was in the third grade of primary school, I often hid in the big closet, covered with all the quilts, trying to cover up the sight, and when I was 16 years old, I was broken by the six-character Daming mantra, and after being opened, it was even more difficult to see it. Later, I was fortunate enough to encounter the Great Compassion Mantra, and I was given repeated empowerments by Guanyin Bodhisattva, and slowly finally found the progress of my previous life. Only then did I understand that in the era of the end of the Dharma, only Lengyan can stay away from the devil's path, only Lengyan can achieve great achievements, and only Lengyan can ensure that we achieve special merits and thus be indistinguishable from Avalokiteshvara. In fact, before I was reincarnated, the Bodhisattva had already given me empowerment with the water of the pure bottle, and before I came, I also repeatedly made a big heart that I would achieve a life as great as Avalokiteshvara, a life that is no different from that of the Bodhisattva. So much so that when I was very young, I met the master of Jizu Mountain who came to turn my fate and said that I had a great mission, and although I was blind, I felt that it was right. Many people say that they are great achievers at every turn, and I say that you are at most a big fool, or a mouthful achiever. Senior Brother Dajue has not achieved anything, but at least he knows that the Great Compassion Mantra can achieve the worldly Dharma of all people.
