Chapter 217: The Hundred Beasts Worship the Scriptures
"Kenji! It's morning class! ”
"Hey! Come on! ”
With the voice of the voice, the second little monk ran out of the monk's room with a slippery little bald head and joined a group of big bald heads. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Slow down, slow down, don't run, it's time to train you again when Master Xuecheng sees it." There was a monk next to him reminding Kenji.
"Oh~~~" Hearing this, Kenji quickly slowed down, learned from the monks around him, and walked towards the side hall safely.
Kenji glanced up, it was still dark, even the birds hadn't gotten up yet, and the grass in the yard was hung with dewdrops, reflecting the light of the street lamps in the yard.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The slow and loud sound of the bell, with its unusually firmness, dispelled all the sleepiness in the hearts of the early monks, and the cool breeze of the early morning seemed to wash away all the troubles in their hearts.
When Kenji walked to the meditation hall, the bell stopped, followed by a brighter drum, the door drum, which was struck by Gen Xuecheng himself every morning, exactly five o'clock, never early or late. If eighty-one o'clock door-to-door drums are beaten, and no one arrives, they will be punished.
Kenji followed behind the great monks, found the small futon that belonged to him, and stood quietly behind the futon, waiting for the morning service to begin.
Soon, after the door drum was beating, the monks in the temple had basically arrived, and Venerable Xuecheng stood at the top, ready to start the morning class.
"Sit!"
Sosuo's voice sounded, and Kenji sat down on the futon with everyone.
At this time, the sound of the wooden fish of Master Xuecheng sounded, and everyone began to chant the scriptures with the sound of the wooden fish, and the first scripture of the general morning class in Longquan Temple was the "Prajnaparamita Sutra"
This is the scripture that Kenji has already memorized, following the rhythm of the wooden fish, Kenji began to recite the scriptures, and with it on his back, Kenji felt that today's scriptures seemed to be very catchy, and when he recited it, it flowed out of his mouth like a cloud of water.
When Kenji closed his eyes and chanted, the voices in the meditation hall slowly became chaotic, and many monks' voices couldn't help but be confused, and even some monks forgot to continue chanting while reading, and everyone's voices were slowly attracted by Kenji.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but everyone feels that Kenji's voice is not loud, but with an indescribable thoroughness, it goes straight to the heart, as if the whole body resonates with Kenji's voice.
Attracted by this feeling, many people couldn't help but start to focus on Kenji, and Gen Xuecheng also noticed the abnormality, he frowned slightly as he looked at the performance of everyone in the meditation hall, and couldn't help but raise his voice in chanting.
Hearing the voice of Master Xuecheng, the monks turned their heads and immersed themselves in their scriptures again, at this time many monks found the difference, and when they recited again, it seemed that the whole body and mind would be fully relaxed, and the whole person's spirit was put into the scriptures, and with Kenji's voice, they entered a magical realm of self-forgetfulness.
Enlightenment?
The same question comes to the minds of many monks.
Venerable Xuecheng also noticed the anomaly in this morning's class, and his eyes were always on Kenji, on this little monk.
At this time, a dark shadow flashed at the door of the meditation hall, and a fluttering sound sounded, and a sparrow suddenly burrowed into the meditation hall, flew around the meditation hall a few times, and landed on the window above Kenji's head.
Xuecheng knocked on the wooden fish rhythmically, and looked at this sparrow strangely, it actually flew in during the morning class, isn't it afraid of people?
Just when Xuecheng was confused, the sound of fluttering wings sounded again, and another sparrow got in, and it circled for a while and also stopped near Kenji.
This seemed to be just the beginning, and as the chanting continued, more and more sparrows flew into the meditation hall, and they all gathered around Kenji.
As the number of sparrows increased, many monks noticed the abnormality, and when they looked back, they saw Kenji sitting on the futon with his eyes closed and chanting, and dozens of sparrows gathered around it, these sparrows were not noisy or noisy, and stood quietly around it, as if devout believers were listening to the Buddha's sermons.
The monks looked incredulous, and they stopped chanting one after another, and the rhythmic sound of the wooden fish of Master Xuecheng and the crisp and childish chanting sound of Kenji that penetrated people's hearts were left in the entire Buddhist hall.
What's going on?
Hundreds of beasts worship Buddha, birds and beasts worship scriptures?
In the legend of Buddhism, whenever the Buddha preached, a hundred flowers bloomed, the ground swelled with golden lotus, birds and beasts hibernated, and the sky rained down.
The problem is that the Buddha is preaching, and that is the Buddha!
Now this little monk, this little monk who is just six years old, is he the reincarnation of Rulai?
All kinds of ideas in the minds of the monks came one after another, the karma was reborn, and the Zen heart was shaken, feeling that this was simply too breakthrough in the monk's world view, could it be that Longquan Temple was going to witness the manifestation of the Buddha once?
There was that clever monk, and it didn't matter whether Xuecheng agreed or not, he just got up and ran, and soon brought back a digital video camera and took pictures of the little monk Xian Er.
The monk ran in and out, but it didn't have any effect on these sparrows, they stood quietly around Kenji, quietly listening to Kenji's chanting.
It was a fluttering sound again, and this time it was a magpie that flew in, and it landed on the ground next to Kenji, raising its head and staring at Kenji intently with small black eyes.
This is obviously just the beginning, as more and more birds flock over time, mostly sparrows, but there are also common birds such as magpies, woodpeckers, and crows. In addition to these common birds, the monks also found several beautiful birds among them that could not be named.
As the birds gathered more and more, the surrounding monks had to get up and leave, completely emptying the area around Kenji.
Not only did the birds gather to listen to the scriptures, but soon the figures of beasts began to appear around Kenji, first a squirrel got in, cocked its big furry tail, probed its brain in, and soon found a suitable place on Kenji's futon, squatting there with two front paws together, looking unusually religious.
One after another, several squirrels entered the meditation hall, and later a few little mice also appeared in the meditation hall, some of the little mice sat on the ground like pine trees, their two front paws were raised, like a small person, and some of the little mice were crouched on all fours, as if they were kowtowing.
At this time, a slender yellow shadow appeared at the door of the meditation hall, this is a stray cat wandering in the scenic area, the flower cat got into the middle of a group of birds and beasts, squatting next to the mouse, and the two eyes stared at Kenji intently, ignoring the mouse beside it.
The birds and beasts gathered more and more, the atmosphere in the meditation hall became more and more solemn, a solemn and pious religious atmosphere brewed in the meditation hall, all the monks were shocked to look at this incredible scene in front of them, at this moment their Zen heart has never been firmer!
