Chapter 37: Merit

Coming out of the hotel, Xuanwu decided to drive home directly, and their medical clinic will continue to close!

Because Fu Ling returned to Suolong Temple and did not return overnight, Xuanwu was a little uneasy in the morning, and he also wanted to go back to Suolong Temple to have a look, so Xuanwu called Mo Wei early in the morning and asked him to rest for a day.

Their medical hall is closed for one day after two days of vigorous opening, which really gives people a feeling of "three days of fishing and two days of drying nets".

As soon as Xuanwu saw Mo Wei, he had the urge to tell Mo Wei to change to a serious store and learn something, and don't learn from us.

Back home, Fu Ling told Xuanwu about the bad guy she had met at the bus station.

"Well, I see, I'll check it out tomorrow." Xuanwu was reading a book while dealing with Fu Ling.

"What I'm saying is serious, we must punish them severely, and make an example of them." Fu Ling's face was resentful.

"Xuanwu, do you think we punish the wicked, is it considered a good deed?"

"Hey! Xuanwu, do you say that I eliminate violence, peace and goodness, punish evil and promote good, is it considered to purify all sentient beings and make good connections? Does it count as my merit? The more Fu Ling spoke, the more excited he became, and he kept asking Xuanwu.

Xuanwu was a little annoyed by the question and said, "Do you know what merit is?" ”

"Dear, I also went to school, okay! Merit is merit and kindness! Fu Ling replied dismissively.

"Don't you say that I forgot, you also went to school, so why do you practice merit?"

"Don't all the people of the world want to make merits?" Fu Ling asked puzzled.

"Why does the world want to make merit?" Xuanwu asked rhetorically.

"Xuanwu, do you know that you will have no friends if you chat like this!"

"I don't need friends."

"Feel whatever you like!" Fu Ling felt that he was purely looking for trouble, and it was good to play games when he was idle, and what merits he had to discuss with Xuanwu!

"Fu Ling, in the Mahayana Chapter, it is written, 'Gong is function, can break life and death, can achieve Nirvana, can save sentient beings, and the name is meritorious. This merit is his good deeds, so he is meritorious. ’

In fact, 'merit', merit, is what is established on the outside, and merit, which is what is accumulated inside, is virtue. Meritorious service, such as repairing bridges and roads, donating money to do good deeds, seeking happiness for all people, and benefiting all people, is called meritorious service. Virtue is that you have no intention of doing things that you don't have a bad heart about, you do things worthy of the sky, don't deceive others outside, don't deceive yourself inside. What you do and what you do is called merit on the outside, and what is accumulated on the inside is virtue, so this is called merit. Do you understand? ”

"What a mess, I didn't understand a word!" Fu Ling was a little stunned by Xuanwu's words.

"Forget it, you just have to remember that 'come quietly and think about yourself, and don't talk about others in your spare time.'" Always remember the words that are beneficial, and the words that are not true. That's it. ”

"Does this have anything to do with cultivating merit?" Fu Ling was puzzled.

"You just need to learn to be a human being first, and you don't have to think about cultivating merits." Xuanwu said helplessly.

Fu Ling knew that Xuanwu was beginning to dislike her ignorance again, anyway, Fu Ling was often disgusted and used to it.

Now Fu Ling's top priority in his heart is the driver who bullied the little girl, Fu Ling must find out his cause and effect, and then punish him, so that he will not dare to do evil in the future.

As for the merit or not, it really doesn't matter to Fu Ling, just like Xuanwu said, why cultivate merit!

The three of them in Suolong Temple never cared about the pilgrims making wishes, nor did they think about cultivating merits, nor did they think that they had spent hundreds of years happily.
