Kou Zhen was very reluctant to go with me as a monk for a few days, but he couldn't refuse me, how many times it was because his buddy was involved in right and wrong, whether he wanted to go, the boat of friendship would capsize, so Kou Zhen was very helpless to accompany me and Zhang Run to stand at the gate of Puji Temple early the next morning. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Before I came, I looked for Murong Chun and Bell, one is to ask them to help me take care of the house, and the other is to ask Murong Chun to put on makeup for us, no need to be fine, as long as we can't see the original face, Murong Chun smiled and agreed, and smeared a kind of medicinal powder on the three of us, and the buddy turned white, and got a haircut, the outline is still the same outline, and it is basically unrecognizable if it is not particularly familiar.

Kou Zhen's complexion turned dark, Zhang Run's complexion turned red, Murong Chun told us that if we want to restore our original appearance, just wash our face with vinegar, as for whether we can hide the nightmare, I don't worry too much, anyway, it doesn't appear during the day, and it will come to harass at night, just catch Ya.

The three of us got up early in the morning and rushed to Puji Temple, and it was eight o'clock in the temple, that is, when everyone just went to work.

Greeted the monk at the door, one of them took the three of us to a room behind the main hall, the room was very simple, there was no bed, there were six bed boards on the ground as a bed, the mattress quilt was folded very neatly, there was a sign hanging on the wall, and the temporary regulations for the residence of lay people: obedient work, no reasoning, no climbing, no fate, no begging, and doing morning and evening classes with the public; Do not eat in the squatter room, and do not make noise; It is forbidden to believe in or talk about foreign ways, and it is forbidden to engage in superstitious activities, such as pinching fingers, reading palmistry, wearing fur shorts and shorts, and not taking off clothes while sleeping.

The monk gave us lay clothes, asked us to change into them, said that the fasting time was at half past ten, and we would just go to the dining hall after packing up, and said that there was only one meal a day. I left us a booklet, which said that the rules of the Puji Temple were listed, and the three of us put on lay clothes, and there was nothing to do, Kou Zhen couldn't bear to go out for a walk, and I dragged him to be honest, this is not to play, but to help the monks solve the problem.

Waiting until more than ten o'clock, I honestly took Kou Zhen and Zhang Run to the dining hall, and when I arrived at the door, there was already a queue outside, more than a dozen monks, and seven or eight lay men wearing lay clothes like us, old, young, men, women, all of them, and there was even a father with a child about ten years old to place an order.

Everyone is very solemn, no one talks to each other, no one makes a loud noise, the silence is unbearable, Kou really wants to speak, I pinched it, closed his mouth with interest, Zhang Run dared to be interested as long as he was eating, curiously tiptoe to look inside, to half past ten, let people into the hall, a monk assigned a table to the three of us.

The hall is quite simple, in addition to the dining table and chairs, one side also enshrines a statue of Buddha, the abbot, the temple supervisor and an old monk sit on the upper seat, the meal has been arranged, the staple food is white flour and cornmeal mixed steamed steamed buns, cabbage, potatoes made of stew, cucumber raw and peanuts mixed with cold vegetables, fruits, beans per person, green soybean grains, yellow waxy corn, red peaches, a kind of black plant tubers that taste like starch, and people carry buckets to distribute mung bean soup.

Before the meal, the abbot took the lead in reciting the "Two O'clock Fasting Ceremony". The meaning is to make offerings to the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Dharma Protectors, and hungry sentient beings, so that you can cultivate the habit of remembering the Three Jewels of the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha while eating, and think of the suffering of sentient beings suffering from hunger, the poor and hungry ghosts, and develop compassion, no longer distinguish whether the food is in line with your own taste, gradually eliminate the discriminating mind, and accept the food and drink of Tanyue with gratitude. The sadhanas are designed to get rid of bad habits and promote good roots, and they are Buddhist education in eating habits.

After reciting the "Two O'clock Fasting Ceremony". When I started eating, before I picked up the chopsticks, Zhang Run couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and pick up the cabbage stewed potatoes in the bowl and take a bite. ”

The rules of Puji Temple are quite strict, there is absolutely no noise during the meal time, calling the mobile phone, wearing a hat to enter, Zhang Run's muttering voice was not loud, but it was too clear in the quiet tomb hall, a monk with a ring ruler came quickly, and said softly: "If you violate the rules and regulations of the hall, you need to hit the palm of your hand three times, and take it as a warning." ”

Zhang Run stayed in the temple for seven days, and he has always been an ancestor to support, presumably he has never been to the hall, and when he heard that he had to beat his palms, he was very unconvinced: "Don't you just talk?" Why do you want to hit me in the palm of my hand? ”

The law enforcement monk was expressionless, and said lightly: "The rules and regulations of this temple are like this, Shi is not used to it, you can go back, you have to comply with the order, reach out, and now you have to hit six times." ”

I hurriedly dragged Zhang Run, shook his head at him, now he is not a distinguished guest, and then let the monks recognize it is not good, Zhang Run saw me dragging him, forcibly did not speak, stretched out his hand, the monk was not polite, according to the palm of the hand six times, I thought that Zhang Run, a boy in fine clothes and jade food, was beaten six times, and he had to cry out loud?

No, Zhang Run also lost his temper, stood up straight and was beaten, sat down after the beating, rubbed his hands vigorously with his teeth, looked at the food on the table with a sad face, and in desperation, he was just about to take out his bottles and cans of seasoning from his arms, but I grabbed him and whispered: "Do you want others to recognize it?" ”

Zhang Run looked at the food on the table like a deflated ball, and his buddy was also curious, the food looked good, how bad could it be? Grabbed the steamed buns, picked up the vegetables with chopsticks and took a bite, and found that Zhang Run's grievances were not unreasonable, the food in Puji Temple was too unpalatable, to what extent, not to mention the taste, the saltiness was not right, the food seemed to be boiled in salt water and fished out, and there was no oily taste.

Kou Zhen wanted to vomit after eating, and was afraid of being beaten, so he swallowed it forcibly, I raised my head in a daze and looked at others, everyone was eating in silence, and there was a big sign on the right side of the hall, which said, No waste of food, no loud noise......

That is to say, no matter how unpalatable it is, you have to finish it, buddy endured the discomfort and swept away the food in front of me, I was disgusted when I ate, it's not that I'm pretentious, it's really that the food has no taste and oil and water at all, I feel that the food in prison is stronger than that in Puji Temple.

Kou Zhen and Zhang Run also barely finished eating, they all looked at me with a sad face, the three of us ate the fastest, and we could leave after eating, but we had to brush our own dishes and chopsticks first, and after brushing, we had to bow to the enshrined Buddha statue and the abbot, and the meal was finished.

The abbot obviously recognized the three of us coming, but his face was expressionless, he just nodded at me, and the three of us escaped out of the dining hall, Zhang Run was a little disgusted, and said to me: "No, I have to go to the toilet and vomit, I have never eaten such an unpalatable thing in my life, is that still a human meal?" The pig food is better than the food in Puji Temple......"

I don't think it's anything, as the saying goes, there is no offense, only the blessing that can't be enjoyed, now people are too hypocritical, it is not necessarily a bad thing to suffer a little, the rules are stricter, but the temple did not force you to come, you have to abide by the rules of others, it is better than those temples that have no rules, just reach out and ask for money.

It seems that the abbot is indeed a practical person, in this society, Puji Temple can maintain such rules, it is not easy, follow Zhang Run and Kou Zhen to the toilet, to the men's toilet, I saw a sign hanging on the wall outside, which said the instructions for entering the toilet: do not wear amulets to enter the toilet, change shoes before entering the toilet; Three flicks of the fingers before opening the door, three flicks of the fingers when going to the toilet, when urinating and defecating, when you are willing to speak, abandon greed and hatred, and get rid of the law. Silently recite "Oh, it's very Rutuo Yesa He." "Wash the urine and urine area after using the toilet, wash your hands once when urinating, and wash your hands with soap seven times when you defecate.

I was speechless, Kou Zhen opened his mouth to scold, a monk came from the opposite side, looking at us with a particularly majestic look, holding a ring ruler in his hand, obviously the laymen must strictly abide by the toilet regulations, no one wants to be beaten, in desperation, the three of us changed our shoes and went into the toilet, it is very clean inside, can it not be clean? It's all like this.

Kou Zhen relieved his hand and asked Zhang Run: "When you promised to help them exorcise evil spirits, these rules were also the same?" ”

"No, I'm living in a single room, I don't care about me at all, just tell them what I need, I also need a tablet to play games......"

Kou Zhen asked quite redundantly, Zhang Run was invited in by the monks to kill demons and eliminate demons, not to mention that Zhang Run was wearing a Taoist robe and showed the kung fu of his two hands of talismans, who was full of food to let him abide by the monk's rules? Even such an outrageous thing as a kebab can cooperate with him, it can be seen that the abbot must be very confused, I don't know why Puji Temple is so obedient to the rules, and it can also provoke demons.

"Viagra, you just let my mother cheat me, we could have been treated the same as Zhang Run, you have to start from what root and experience the life of a monk, right? Let's not talk about the unpalatable food, there are so many rules for going to the toilet, is this a temple or a prison? ”

I didn't expect the rules in Puji Temple to be so strict, just a meal, go to the toilet, let Kou Zhen complain so much, we arrived at Puji Temple for less than four hours, the next thing is penance, work, now it's just a beginning, buddies are also helpless, mainly free and casual, but also a little unbearable, fortunately, there are Kou Zhen and Zhang Run with me, everyone is unlucky together, and I feel a lot more comfortable.

"Don't talk nonsense, Zhang Run's trouble, I have to do the work with tears in my eyes."

Kou Zhen was still muttering, I didn't care about him, so that the three of us went to the room, and before I got to the door of the room, I saw the man with the child standing at the door and arguing with the temple supervisor, the buddy was very curious, walked two steps quickly, and got closer, and heard the man say to the temple supervisor: "The child has a stomachache, you can do well, let the child take the medicine."
