Hearing my words, Sun Wukong did not hesitate, and reached out and handed the robe to the old monk.

"From your point of view, it's just that I will be returned tomorrow morning, and I must not be defiled with some beards, otherwise, don't blame my old grandson for doing evil!"

In fact, Sun Wukong is not a deterrent when he says this now, because at this time, these monks only see Sun Wukong's appearance is scary, and they only think that he is a short ugly ghost, if these monks know that this thing is the master who even dares to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace, it is estimated that they will not have any greed.

The old monk looked at the brocade robe handed over by Sun Wukong, his lips trembled for a long time without speaking, and finally stabilized his emotions, the old monk asked the child to take the robe to his meditation room, and then instructed the monks to sweep the three separate meditation halls in front of them, prepare two rattan beds and new bedding, and let us spend the night there.

Not only that, but what to eat tomorrow's morning fast, and even how to see us off tomorrow have been arranged in advance, worthy of living for more than 200 years, this old guy is quite meticulous.

After greeting each other and going back to the meditation room, Sun Wukong tied the horse next door, and called the foot washing water and put it in front of me, saying: "Why are the monks in this courtyard like this, they don't look like quiet and poor monks." ”

I smiled, "Who one of them here is a serious monk, all of them are arrogant and jealous, which really insults the image of Buddhist monks." ”

I took off my shoes and socks, soaked my feet in hot water, and said, "And you, Wukong, I have to talk about you today, the ancients have clouds, rare and good things, do not let the greedy and treacherous people, if they enter his eyes, they will move their hearts, and if they move their hearts, they will have their plans." ”

Sun Wukong said: "The apprentice saw those people who disliked the poor and loved the rich today, and despised the master, but he was angry and wanted to compete with them. ”

I shook my head and said, "Being a teacher doesn't care about things outside the body, what a teacher means is that if a greedy and treacherous person wants to take this treasure, do you give it or not? If you are a person who is afraid of things, he will give it if he wants you, then forget it, if you don't give it, so you will invite the disaster of killing, then it is not a trivial matter." ”

Sun Wukong said disapprerovingly: "Just these greedy monks, don't talk about them, even the heavenly soldiers and generals can do what they can do with me!"

"Wukong, you still don't understand, these mortals are indeed not your opponents, but the teacher is also a mortal, you fight with others in the open, how do you know that there will be no thieves in the dark to harm me? ”

Sun Wukong thought about it, and seemed to think that I was right, so he nodded and said, "Yes, the apprentice has learned the teaching." ”

I rubbed my feet and said, "To tell the truth, the robe for the teacher does not mean to love, the monk should have no concern for external things, the meaning of the six roots of tranquility for the teacher has also been told to you, if the old master of the robe is fond, the teacher will give it to him, just a foreign object." ”

I'm telling the truth, I'll only wear that brocade robe once, and it's enough to wear it once, it's too heavy, and it's so eye-catching, if it wasn't given by Guanyin Bodhisattva, I'm not going to bring it out at all, the clothes can cover the shame, why bother those useless.

Sun Wukong smiled and said, "So only the master is worthy of being called a holy monk." ”

I smiled: "Don't say anything about the whiskers and horses in the future, because the teacher likes to listen to the sincere heart." ”

The holy monk really doesn't dare to be a monk, but since I have entered the Shamen, no matter whether I am really dedicated to the Buddha in my heart, at least we have to be dedicated.

Sun Wukong wiped his feet for me and said, "Speaking of which, Master, why do monks wear this robe, can't they be worn in ordinary clothes?"

In fact, I also asked my master Elder Fa Ming this question in Jinshan Temple before, and Elder Fa Ming told me back then, and at this time I told Sun Wukong to listen, isn't this the inheritance.

"It is made of patching and sewing of shabby cloth, and cheating clothes, altar clothes, because it is often made of five colors or a mixture of colors, so it is also called five clothes, because of wearing clothes, so there are monks who call themselves monks, old clothes. ”

Since I became a monk, I have no other entertainment in the monastery, and my curiosity about the world makes it easy to study this and that.

It is precisely because of my studiousness that I have a deeper understanding of Buddhism, although I have not really been able to devote myself to the Buddha, but I also have the qualifications to accept apprentices, and even was recommended to preside over the emperor-level water and land puja of the year, now think about it, if you can be so serious and studious in your previous life, what nine eight five two one one is not all random picking, alas, regret late!

I then introduced to Sun Wukong: "The robe is a monk's robe, and the novice can only wear a man's robe, and the robe is also called the Futian robe, because the robe is shaped like a rectangular paddy field, which contains the meaning of 'the field can store water to grow Jia seedlings, and nourish the shape and life'. ”

Sun Wukong asked: "I saw the old greedy monk's robe colorful, what do these different colors mean?"

"Generally, the Qing people in the temple wear a brown robe, the abbot, the first seat can wear a big red robe, the robe can not use green, yellow, red, white, black five colors, nor can you use crimson, red, purple, green, blue five colors, must use green, mud, Qian these three bad colors. The new clothes should be 'clean', and the new clothes should be deliberately stained with other colors, so as to break the monks' greed for new clothes and gorgeous clothes, stay away from the five desires and troubles, and not be greedy, indicating that the shape of the destruction is good, the monks and laymen are different, and the robe is not worn casually, it can only be worn on solemn occasions, and the monks should usually wear civilian clothes. ”

Sun Wukong spread my quilt and said, "How can there be so many rules in the Buddhist family, this can't be, and that can't." ”

"Yes, it is precisely by taking the precepts and practicing that the bhikshus become Buddhas, and the so-called hardships are the only way to become masters. ”

Lying in the bed, thinking about these monks in this Guanyin Zen Temple, which one of them has the appearance of a monk of a monk, even I, the young man of Erbi who crossed over, is more decent than them.

Now that I think about it, the image of Tang Seng in the TV series is really just ridiculous, the Tang Seng in the TV series is wearing a red robe from beginning to end, and he is wearing a Pilu hat and five Buddha crowns all the time, which is not the case at all!

Does Tyson wear a gold belt and boxing gloves when he goes shopping?

The last time I wore a Bilu hat and a robe was when I was presiding over the water and land puja in Chang'an, usually monks don't wear hats at all, are you afraid of cold or heat, or are you afraid that people will see your bald head, and you care so much about what kind of monk you should be.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, I don't look like a bhikshu at all, so let's talk about my food, clothing, shelter and transportation.

First of all, this "clothes" are better in terms of clothing, and I only wear three clothes, although some are thickened......

A true bhikshu does not wear anything other than three clothes, and the cold wind does not need to be resisted by thick cotton clothes, but should be faced, the cold wind can keep the bhikshu awake, and it is also a practice to overcome the cold with the body.

Speaking of this "food", the monks should eat once a day, that is, they only eat one meal a day at noon, and the monks only use a bowl to fast, and I can say that after having the filial disciple of Sun Wukong, there are no less than three meals a day.

Speaking of bowls, my purple gold bowl is actually out of line to be honest, but this is a gift from the Tang King, and I have to use it.

It stands to reason that monks can only use clay bowls or iron bowls, stone bowls because they are sacred objects used by the Buddha when he attained enlightenment, so monks cannot use them, gold, silver and bronze are not allowed to touch them because they do not hold money rings, porcelain, glaze and flower inlays can not be used, and wooden bowls are things that are not allowed to be used. There are also rules on the color of the bowl, which can only be black, dark red, dark blue, and even the volume is specified in detail.

If a bowl that is not in accordance with the rules is not as good as the Dharma, other monks can snatch it and smash it, and it is not considered a violation of the precepts.

Speaking of "dwelling", how can there be a monk like me who is looking for someone to spend the night every day, unless he begs for food, and when he is walking, the monks are not close to the city or village at all, they all walk around.

Bhikshus should have no place to live, and if they live, they are the place of Aran, and what is Aranja is a quiet place suitable for meditation.

They live in a quiet place far from the village where the drums are not heard, usually at least four miles outside the village. You can live in a mound, stop under a tree, a cave, or a deserted and abandoned empty house.

If it is a rainy night, there is no shelter from the rain, and the walking monk will keep walking.

Buddhism says that urban and rural settlements are places where the habits of the lay people are polluted, and the sand gate should not stay, far away from the dyeing and quiet, the Brahman line is far away, and the mountains and forests are long, not in the middle of the people, and they are happy and idle, and they are dedicated to it.

Finally, he said that this "line" should not talk to people, but look at the ground, sit up and walk, and do not change his mind, so as to travel to distant countries and teach the people.

The monks all walk all the way on their feet, but I not only have horses, but also dragon horses! Look at how powerful you are! Are you still qualified to say that you are a walking monk when riding a horse?

Actually, it's not because I'm lazy or physically poor that I can't walk, there is indeed a reason, 108,000 miles! Just kidding, if I really walk step by step with my feet, I really don't know what year and month I have to go to Lingshan.

In fact, I used to walk by myself, when I was still in Jinshan Temple, every spring and autumn would carry out a short distance of foot begging, from the beginning of my entry into the temple, every year I was in the list. And the old owner of this Guanyin Temple has not been out of the temple for two hundred and sixty years.

There is also this tin cane, Tang Seng's tin cane in the TV series is held all the time, and it is completely used as a trekking pole.

The monk's tin staff should be usually collected, and can only be taken out after the statue, and can not be shouted loudly when holding a battle and begging, and the cane lets people know that the monk is coming, and there are regulations for shaking a few times, first three and then five and then seven, and can not be used as a crutch weapon.

When holding the cane, the tin cane cannot touch the ground, and it must be placed on the surface of the foot when stopping, the head of the cane should not face down, and the head of the cane cannot be put away first, but it can be hung on the tree, and the monk must sleep in the same direction as the head of the cane, and the head of the cane is not allowed to face down when walking.

There are 12 rings on the tin rod, which symbolize the 12 causes and conditions: ignorance, action, knowledge, fame, sex, six entry, touch, receiving, loving, taking, being, birth, old age and death. These 12 methods of cause and effect reveal the laws of the cycle of cause and effect in the past, present, and future lives.

The 12 karma is a chain of hooks and locks, and the relationship between them is implicated, and there is a verse that says: "Ignorance and love take the three afflictions, and there are two branches for the karmic path, from knowing to receiving and dying of old age, such as the seven things are the path of suffering." It is the principle that the twelve causes and conditions are the three realms of confusion, karma, and suffering.

However, the nine-ring tin staff given by Guanyin Bodhisattva can be disassembled, because I don't have to beg for food, the food is done by Sun Wukong, and my nine-ring tin staff is disassembled in the suitcase, the tin staff should be twelve rings, and mine is only nine, and the missing three rings are implying something.

In my previous life, I also laughed at the fact that today's monks are all fake, not to mention drinking wine and eating meat, and even some are married and have children, but even the fake monks are not for everyone, and they still need a diploma!

But when I came to this Shenzhou world, I really became a monk, thinking about the real monks I had seen before, I knew what a Buddhist disciple was, of course, not including this Guanyin Temple.

In my previous life, I wondered how monks solved their physical problems, whether they would have spring dreams or something. Only when I became a monk did I know that I didn't have any troubles about this at all, because monks only fell asleep in the middle of the night.

The night is divided into three sections, before, during and after, and the middle night is about 10 o'clock to 2 o'clock in the morning, which is only about four hours.

If you only sleep for four hours, you basically don't dream, and when you wake up, you have to continue your practice and meditate. At first, you may feel tired because you haven't slept enough, but after a period of time, your sleep quality will improve, and sleeping only in the middle of the night is enough, not only will you not feel tired, but you will be able to free up more time to practice.

Thinking wildly, it was almost ten o'clock, I fell asleep in a daze, and around two o'clock in the morning, when I woke up again, I was dumbfounded.

Didn't I sleep in the house, why do I open my eyes now and see the stars in the sky?

I looked up, good guy! I almost didn't scare the hell!

Except for the rattan bed I slept on, the whole meditation room was burning like crazy, and I felt like I was in a big furnace!

I'm going to go! Am I going to become a "bald donkey meat fire"!

I was scared half to death here, and Sun Wukong squatted beside my bed, letting the fire burn wantonly. Why are you monkeys just squatting and watching, waiting to be burned to death!

I hurriedly asked, "Wukong, why is there a fire?"

Sun Wukong sneered: "It's not a fire, it's someone who set it on fire!"

I didn't remember how I recruited the black bear spirit before, but now I really remember, it was because that old thing wanted to set fire to me, so the fire attracted the goblin behind me!

Why didn't I remember it, if I did, I wouldn't have entered this Guanyin Monastery at all!

You're a baby! Wear a heavy box and occupy an area, and you don't say anything, and you will cause me trouble!

If I had known that this old thing could even set fire to kill people for the sake of his robe, I might as well take the initiative to give it to him! Oh no! My luggage and Ryoma are in the meditation room next door!

"Goku! go and save the baggage horses!"

"Master rest assured, the apprentice has already hidden Ryoma elsewhere, and the luggage is also with him. ”

Sun Wukong looked at the firelight with a look of anger on his face, my heart said that it was broken, someone wanted to harm me, this monkey will not kill.

"Wukong, how could anyone set fire to this temple?"

Sun Wukong pointed with his hand, "Oh, I am looking at the fire from a distance, hoping that my master will be burned to ashes." ”

It's useless for you to point out, I can't see anything of such a big fire, there is fire in all directions, I can't even tell the direction now, but how can these three meditation rooms have such a big fire, and there are not many things that can be burned!

I suddenly found that although the fire had been burning violently and the roof had collapsed, I didn't feel the heat of the flames, I didn't smell a trace of smoke, I didn't even hear the sound of burning.

"You didn't embarrass the monks in this temple, did you?"

Sun Wukong shook his head and said, "Before going to bed, the master instructed the apprentice not to bully the monks and not to destroy the Zen monastery, so the apprentice just protected the master and did nothing else. ”

Good apprentice! I'll make you a friend for the rest of my life! Another day, we must have a fight!
