Chapter Twenty-Three: The Seven Sufferings of Life
"Is this a miracle?
The girl in green walked towards the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda, although she was shocked by the majesty of the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda, but she still said words that she didn't care about.
"Xiao Cui, you are too much!".
The girl in white hadn't really scolded Xiaocui before, but this time, Huo Yuanzhen, who was walking behind, heard her dissatisfaction.
"This is a temple, it is in front of the Buddha, and this pagoda is still a miracle, you say disrespectful words to the Buddha here, it disappoints me too much, you stay here, you don't have to accompany me in."
The girl in white shook off Xiao Cui's hand and walked towards the pagoda alone.
Xiao Cui stood there alone, tears rolling in her eyes, but she didn't dare to say anything.
Huo Yuanzhen glanced at that Xiao Cui, and secretly felt happy in his heart, although his abbot may not be very pious to the Buddha, but he can't listen to others disrespecting his temple.
Huo Yuanzhen rushed in front of the girl in white, took the lead in front of the pagoda, and opened the door of the pagoda.
Because it was getting dark, the pagoda was very dim, and after Huo Yuanzhen went in, he lit some oil lamps in the pagoda.
The first floor of the stupa is a Guanyin.
In the previous life, Guanyin Bodhisattva's popularity in Buddhism was almost comparable to that of the Buddha, known as great compassion, saving suffering and relieving suffering, with hundreds of millions of believers.
Although Buddhism in this world is not as prosperous as in previous lives, the popularity of Guanyin Bodhisattva is still very high.
There are three types of Guanyin, namely the most common Qingshui Guanyin, holding a willow branch and a jade bottle. The second is the thousand-armed Kannon, and the third is the Kannon who sends the child.
The main Buddha on the first floor of this 10,000 pagoda is Qingshui Guanyin.
Originally, Huo Yuan really thought that the woman in white was going to worship Guanyin, but he didn't expect that after the woman in white bowed a few times, she didn't stop and went directly to the second layer.
Huo Yuanzhen had no choice but to follow her to the second floor and lit the oil lamp on the second floor.
The second floor is Lingji Bodhisattva, but I didn't expect this woman to continue to the third layer after worshipping a few times.
The third layer is the Buddha of Mitabha, and there are couplets next to it, and the upper couplet writes: The big belly can tolerate, and the world can not tolerate things, and the lower couplet is written, and the smile is always open, and the ridiculous people in the world are laughed.
Mida Buddha is also known as the Buddha from the East, and his popularity is also quite high.
But the woman bowed a few times, and then went to the fourth floor.
After that, there are Manjushri Bodhisattva, Puxian Bodhisattva, Burning Lamp Buddha, Medicine Buddha, and Buddha Rulai.
However, on these eight floors, the women all visited one by one, and finally came to the ninth floor of the pagoda.
The ninth floor is the last layer, and the main Buddha here is Nan Mu Amitabha.
Huo Yuanzhen followed all the way here, lit the oil lamp, and did not show a trace of unhappiness on his face.
The woman in white was secretly surprised when she saw Huo Yuanzhen's performance, thinking that this young abbot was really self-contained, and she was like two people when she yelled at the mountain gate just now.
In fact, Huo Yuanzhen has his own calculations in his heart, this is like the service industry in the future, as long as I serve well, I am not afraid that your guests will not bleed, especially this woman knows at a glance that she is a rich gold owner, and the incense money given for a while will not be less.
Just thinking about it there, I saw the woman in white kneeling in front of the Buddha.
Although she had knelt down several times before, this time it was different, and the woman in white lifted her veil.
First glanced at Huo Yuanzhen, and the woman in white said: "Today, the abbot accompanied me into the tower, and I hope that the abbot will keep it secret for me."
Although Huo Yuanzhen was silent on his face, the shock in his heart was indeed incomparable.
Although I imagined that the woman in white must be very beautiful, but after all, it was just imagination, and there was no intuitive impact, but now the woman lifted the veil, and it was really a stunning enchantment that captivated the country and the city.
Compared with the later Miss World, except for the height is slightly lower, the rest of the parts are still excessive.
But after all, Huo Yuanzhen has experienced a lot of things, and a woman is beautiful, but it is impossible to make Huo Yuanzhen lose his temper.
Nodding slightly, Huo Yuanzhen retreated a little farther.
The woman secretly admired again, although this abbot was a monk, but after all, he was still a young man, and he was unmoved when he saw his appearance, and he was the first in these years.
The woman in white turned around, first picked up the incense on the side of the desk and lit it, solemnly bowed three times, and then saluted the incense, folded her hands, closed her eyes slightly, and prayed sincerely there.
Inside the pagoda was quiet, only the sound of wind chimes and burning oil lamps could be faintly heard outside.
Huo Yuanzhen stood quietly aside, waiting for the woman to finish.
The woman spoke slowly.
"Believer Ning Wanjun, sincerely pray for the blessing of the Buddha, ask the Buddha to bless my father with a speedy recovery, I know, my father's injury is already very serious, but he is still strong, not to let people see his injury, his heart is very bitter, but he must insist, I don't think his insistence is right, nostalgia for that position, in my opinion there is no point at all, but he can't do it, he has forgotten, how his mother died."
The woman's words were in her ears, Huo Yuanzhen heard it clearly, it seems that this woman is still a hard-working person, in her previous life, she was a single-parent family.
"Daddy always thought that after his miraculous achievements, his injuries would be able to get better, listen to the words of the villain, and even began to practice evil skills, I saw him a few days ago, his hair has turned white, and he is still 、、、so terrible, Buddha, the believer is so afraid, what should the believer do? I have been dependent on my father since I was a child, I don't want my father to leave me, and I don't want him to become a stranger to me."
"Cultivating evil skills?".
Huo Yuanzhen secretly speculated, who is this woman talking about?
The woman over there, Ning Wanjun, seemed to have moved her feelings, two lines of tears slid down her beautiful face, and her emaciated shoulders twitched gently, which was endearing.
"The believer is very afraid, I have no way to persuade my father, he can't listen to different opinions at all, what should I do? I heard that there was a miracle of the Buddha here, and the believer came specially to ask the Buddha for guidance, the Buddha has supreme wisdom, please guide me to the maze, woo woo 、、、."
Ning Wanjun was talking and talking, but she couldn't cry, and the more she cried, the louder she became, and finally she simply lay on the futon, her delicate body shrunk into a ball, and she kept sobbing there, and the listener was sad.
Huo Yuanzhen stood aside, a little at a loss, and had the heart to go over to help, but it was inconvenient, but if she didn't help her, it would not be a way to let her cry like this.
After thinking about it again and again, Huo Yuanzhen gritted his teeth and came to the woman's side, but he didn't help, but used a hint of the lion's roar, and said: "Idiot!
Although it was only a trace of internal force, in this silent pagoda, the sound was also stirring back and forth, which made Ning Wanjun stop crying.
Raising her head with teary eyes, Ning Wanjun looked at Huo Yuanzhen with rain: "Abbot, what are you talking about."
"Amitabha, if the female benefactor is willing to listen to the words of the poor monk, please get up and speak."
Ning Wanjun also felt her gaffe at this time, hurriedly stood up, wiped her red eyes, and followed Huo Yuanzhen to the chair in the corner and sat down.
Huo Yuanzhen pondered for a moment: "There are seven sufferings in life, including all kinds of human sufferings, and now the female benefactor is among the seven sufferings."
"Please the abbot for guidance on what are the seven sufferings?"
"The suffering of birth refers to the fact that a person is in the mother's womb, cramped, breathing unsmoothly, cold wind clothes after making a sound, stabbing the skin, etc. The suffering of old age, the growth of age, mental exhaustion, and the growing weakness. Sickness, pain all over the body, no peace. The pain of death, or the aging of the body, or the loss of vitality, or the accidental death".
Ning Wanjun was attracted by Huo Yuanzhen's words and asked, "Abbot, what you said is very reasonable, but there are three kinds of suffering?"
"Resentment will, jealousy, resentment, not being able to get what you want, but hurting yourself."
Ning Wanjun nodded, "Yes, jealousy is a heart-devouring poisonous snake, and the believer has been taught."
"I can't ask for it, the things of life, the unsatisfactory people are often too persistent, but they are trapped in a cage, and they can't be willing for a long time, which adds to the pain."
After Huo Yuanzhen finished speaking, Ning Wanjun didn't speak for a long time, her own current situation was just unbelievable.
His expression was a little gloomy, and he said faintly after a while: "What the master said is right, there are many places where believers are too persistent, but many things, believers are also involuntarily."
Huo Yuanzhen smiled silently.
"Please ask the abbot to teach you the last suffering."
"The last pain is the pain of parting, the pain of life, nothing more than love parting, relatives leaving, powerless, beloved is not around, there is also the pain of missing, I see that the girl is not very old, although she may not experience the pain of her lover not around, but this family is gone, presumably the girl has experienced it herself."
After Huo Yuanzhen finished speaking, Ning Wanjun's tears poured down again, and her jade hand gently covered her mouth, refusing to cry loudly.
As soon as this woman cried, Huo Yuanzhen was not easy to deal with, if it was a previous life, of course he could choose to lend his shoulder to lean on her, but now he is constrained by this identity, and he can't do so.
But I've only been talking about it for a long time, so I think it should have some effect.
Sure enough, after a while, Ning Wanjun stopped her grief, Ying Ying got up, and gave Huo Yuanzhen a deep salute: "Resentment will be, you can't ask for it, life and old age, love and separation, it is really a wise saying, the believer has been taught, abbot, it is said outside that you are a person who can communicate with the Buddha, the believer can only ask you, please teach the believer what to do now?"
Huo Yuanzhen suddenly had a big head, he read a Buddhist scripture, and he could still say a thing or two about Buddhist theory, but he was really not sure about letting himself solve other people's practical difficulties.
Besides, this should have been the work of the Buddha, how did it fall on his head?
Huo Yuanzhen looked helplessly at the beautiful girl in front of him with an expectant face, and didn't know how to speak.
