Kenji has been very happy lately because Master said that he has Buddha nature - he is related to my Buddha......

"Master, why am I a Buddha? And not the Buddha or the Buddha you? ”

"......" Master Xuecheng kindly embarrassed for a moment, and touched Kenji's bald head, "...... I am the Buddha, I mean our Buddha. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"The Buddha is ours?"

"......" Master Xuecheng was even more kindly embarrassed, "...... It's not wrong to say that, after all, only we monks are truly Buddha-worshippers, so it's not wrong to say ours; But strictly speaking, this is not right, because Buddha is Buddha, Buddha is a kind of sustenance and pursuit, everyone can have a Buddha, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha, Buddha nature is in everyone's heart, and the role of our monks is to help more people ignite the Buddha nature in his heart. ”

"Master, Buddha...... Awesome? ”

"Why do you say that?"

"Then why do so many monks want to become Buddhas?"

“...... Well, it's not wrong to say that, the Buddha is very powerful and powerful, and he can benefit all sentient beings. ”

"Then why haven't you become a Buddha yet?"

“...... Master's cultivation is not enough, only by constantly striving bravely and diligently can he have a chance to become a Buddha. ”

"Master, then you have become a Buddha, can you also be very powerful?"

“...... Yes, if Master becomes a Buddha, but it's difficult, or almost impossible. ”

"Master, if you become a Buddha, can you make me become a Buddha too?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Isn't the Buddha very powerful? If Master becomes a Buddha, then he can turn me into a Buddha, and then I can turn everyone into a Buddha, and then won't it just be a universal for all sentient beings? ”

“...... That's what it is...... Pudu sentient beings? ”

"That's right! That's right! Master, you quickly become a Buddha, you go and kowtow to the Buddha a few more times, let the Buddha turn you into a Buddha too, and then you turn me into a Buddha......"

"Kenji...... If we want to become a Buddha, we have to work our own, and a Buddha cannot help us become a Buddha. ”

"Why? Isn't the Buddha very powerful? ”

"This ...... It is not the same thing that a Buddha is powerful and a Buddha can turn others into Buddhas. ”

"If you can't do that, why do so many people want to be Buddhas?"

"Kenji...... Believing in the Buddha, worshiping the Buddha, and following the will of the Buddha are human practices in order to stay away from the sufferings of life. ”

"Master, since the purpose of cultivation is to stay away from suffering, why do you rarely laugh? Do you still have a lot of troubles? ”

“...... This one...... Yes. ”

"Master, it seems to me that the laymen in the temple are very happy, they all laugh a lot, are they practicing better?"

“...... This one...... Perhaps......"

"Since the laymen practice better, then why should we become monks?"

“...... Being a monk is just for better practice......"

"Are they all monks with poor grades? Are they all monks who don't practice well? ”

“...... It's not like that, we monks are the best in practice, we practice every day, those laymen only practice occasionally, don't you see that those laymen often come to the temple to study and answer questions? ”

"Oh, is that so?"

“...... Yes. ”

"Master, monks abstain from lying about it."

“...... Master is right, don't you see that some lay people are practicing and then becoming monks? Many lay people wanted to shave their ordination and pursue further studies, but they were unfortunate enough to become monks, so they had to practice at home. ”

"Isn't that monk very powerful, so the laymen want to be monks?"

"...... right"

"Then why isn't the emperor a monk?"

“...... There were also some emperors who later became monks who were not emperors, so they ...... Or the monk is the most powerful......"

"Oh...... If the monks are so good, why do so many lay people want me to go down the mountain with them? ”

"That's because they think you're cute and want you to go home with them."

"Cute to take home?"

"Yes......"

"Then Master, I think Xiaohua, Xiaomao, and Xiaoshen are all cute, can I bring them home?"

“...... What is that? ”

"They're the squirrels who always come to listen to me, they're so cute, can I take them home and sleep with them?"

"This won't work...... They also have their own families, and they should live with their own families. ”

"Master, do I have a family?"

"Aren't we your family?"

"Master, why do all the children who come to the temple have parents, but my parents?"

"Your parents...... They have something very important, so they will put you in the temple first, and when they are done, they will come to you to play. ”

"Important? Is there anything more important than being a monk? ”

"Of course! People have a lot to do, work hard, live well, there are many, many things. ”

"Then why doesn't the monk have to work?"

"Monks also work, cultivation is our job, and taking care of lay people is our job."

"Oh, since cultivation is our job, does the Buddha give you a bonus?"

“...... Buddha...... No bonuses ......"

"But I heard from those laymen that when they worked, they would receive bonuses and year-end bonuses. The Buddha slammed the door so much! ”

“...... The Buddha didn't pick the door...... He just...... I'm afraid that the bonus will affect our spiritual ......"

"Aren't those laymen afraid of affecting their cultivation?"

"They are not afraid ......"

"Why aren't they afraid?"

"They...... There's a lot to do, a lot to buy, money to buy, bonuses. ”

"Master, then why don't we need money?"

"We ...... We can be self-reliant, didn't you see that the temple farms by itself? ”

"Did the Buddha also farm his own land?"

“...... The Buddha did not farm the land...... The Buddha used to be a prince, but after becoming a monk, he fasted, and he didn't have to farm. ”

"Then why are we still farming, are we not like the Buddha?"

“...... Because...... We weren't princes before we became monks......"

"Master, that ......"

"Kenji, we're going to have evening class, we can't ask any more questions, and if you ask again, you'll become a hundred thousand whys."

"Master, Master, one last question!"

“...... You said! ”

"Master, are you having a holiday today?"

"Don't let it go!"

"Why?"

"Because you didn't vote! If you vote, you'll be given a holiday! ”

All the great virtues, all the bhikshus, all the laymen, all the good men and women - happy holidays!!
