Insidious Peers and Enemies_Chapter 874: Envy and Jealousy
According to Ms. Li's account, this Qing Xiu master is not like the monk we ordinary people imagine, as if he doesn't care about anything else every day except the ancient Buddha of the green lantern, meditation and chanting, and has no hobbies. But he has a wide range of hobbies, and even loves to enjoy them. He likes a lot of things, such as imported food (except meat products), high-end furniture, gold and silver Buddha statues, electronic products, jade jewelry, and famous watches and cars. The two cars in the courtyard, a Mercedes and a BMW, are all devotees' cars, and although they were not given to the temple and the master, they were also used by the temple for free, and the devotees had to be responsible for repairing and refueling the cars.
Master Qingxiu's taste is still very picky, for example, watches only like Swiss, and they can't be third-tier brands like Tissot, they can only be high-end goods. I love chocolate most in imported food, and it must be an Italian XXX brand, and I don't want anything else. Driving only imported cars, not joint ventures. There are at least a dozen brand new mobile phones, and the ones that are piled up in that room now are unopened, but the styles have been eliminated so that no one can use them, and they were all worth thousands back then.
Listening to her words, I felt very confused. "Shouldn't all monks be pure-hearted and have few desires? Even if you like something, it should be piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, right? Isn't the pursuit of such high materialistic pleasures inconsistent with the theory of monastic practice? I wondered.
Ms. Li said: "Not necessarily, although my master is detached, he is not a god after all, he is still a human being, and people have seven emotions and six desires, love and hatred, right?" "I think it seems to make sense, it seems that monks can go about everything except chanting, vegetarianism, leaving home, and abstinence.
On the morning of the fourth day, Master Qing Xiu asked Angkor to pay me 40,000 yuan, and I thought he was mistaken, but Master Qing Xiu said, "You have a very hard trip, so give an extra 10,000 yuan, and I will treat it as a reimbursement for your travel expenses." ”
I am very happy in my heart, but at the same time, I feel very lost, because in the past few days, I have seen that Angkor has received at least four or five hundred thousand donations from believers, and I guess I have not seen more. Azan Nangya casts spells behind the scenes, and this Qing Xiu master is worshiped in front of the stage, and he also collects a lot of money, which makes me blush.
Before leaving, Master Qing Xiu told us in his meditation room that only the five of us knew about this matter, and he hoped that we could keep it secret and not disclose it, otherwise we would not have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, and they would sue us for slander.
"Master, don't worry, we are only here to collect money to do things this time, and you must do what you want to do to show your face, and we won't say it." I replied with a smile.
On the way down the mountain, Ms. Li told us that Master Qing Xiu was a real practitioner, and that he didn't pay attention to all the gifts and luxuries in his temple, and that those things were no different from a pile of stones in Master's eyes.
I thought to myself, it's easy to say, can stones be used to make phone calls, can they take pictures and watch TV shows? But I do have a little admiration for that Qingxiu master, even if there are so many people to support him, and there are so many supplies for him to eat, drink and have fun for him to use casually, but his daily life is still very self-disciplined, the three lectures add up to ten hours, Qingxiu Master is very focused and serious when he lectures, although I don't understand, but from his demeanor, I can see that he is really trying to preach the scriptures with his heart. If you change to ordinary people, just so many materials are enough to enjoy every day, where do you still have the heart to talk about Buddhist scriptures?
"The monks in your master's temple are also very happy, using high-end SLRs and eating imported chocolate." I say.
Ms. Li explained: "That's just us family members who think so, and the monk doesn't feel it. Because they have been monks since childhood, and the monks live on the offerings of ordinary people and believers, they have almost no concept of money, and they do not know how to earn it. So for them, spending tens of thousands of dollars to buy things is like digging vegetables out of the vegetable field to eat, which is a very common thing. ”
I understand this explanation very well, and I thought that I would just be a monk and enjoy the feeling of spending money like water. Later, I thought that not only did I have to be a vegetarian, but I also couldn't get married and soaking women, and I also had to cut off relations with my family, so not everyone could do it.
At this time, Azan Nangya, who had been sitting in the back row and had not spoken much, spoke, "There is a strange aura on your master's body. ”
Angkor hurriedly asked what he meant, and Azan Nangya shook his head: "It's not good, it's not yin qi or resentment, it doesn't feel obvious." Angkor was puzzled, and Ms. Li pestered Azan Nangya to ask questions, but she didn't explain anymore.
When she arrived at Hangzhou Airport, Ms. Li also took Azan Nangya's hand and said that she hoped to go to Thailand to play with her in the future, and at the urging of Angkor, the two drove away. I handed 35,000 yuan to Azan Nangya and said, "It's a pity. ”
Azan Nangya asked, "What a pity?" "I said that I thought that the monk was really poor, but I didn't expect that the valuable things in the house were piled up, and the direct benefits brought to him by our spell alone were hundreds of thousands, and there may be donations in the future, so we only received 50,000 yuan, isn't it too much of a loss."
"You can't say that," Azan Nangya replied with a smile, "Mana can be used to bless Buddhist tablets for worship, or to ward off evil spirits, but it can't be used as a tool to buy people's hearts." Otherwise, I wouldn't have to go to Thailand to be an Azan, and set up a dojo in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, and other places, and accept no more apprentices than monks. ”
I thought to myself, isn't it, now many Chinese, whether rich or not, want to seek psychological comfort and spiritual sustenance, and it is said that many fake monks and fake living Buddhas have a large number of believers. This Qing Xiu master is not a fake monk, but the mountain is small and the temple is small, and even so, he lives a luxurious life that ordinary Chinese people dare not think of. If Thai Azan comes to China, with their mana, the apprentices will not have to step on the threshold, especially those like Azan Nangya who can speak Chinese. Seeing the attitude of the monk Qingxiu who regarded money as a poop, I even came up with the idea of inviting all those Azan masters to China in the future to take in apprentices.
While waiting for my flight in the airport hall, a question suddenly occurred to me and I asked Azan Nangya why when you cast a spell, those devotees would have a reaction similar to the Ruth empowerment. Azan Nangya smiled and said, "I am currently in contact with two Lushi masters, and they are teaching me some orthodox Lushi methods. Maybe in a few years, I'll become a female Rushi too. ”
So that's the case, I suddenly realized, I thought that Lu Shike can be regarded as a monk, if Azan Nangya is a monk, the saddest thing is Master Chen, he has been thinking about it.
Returning to Shenyang from Hangzhou, this business was actually very successful for me, and I made 20,000 yuan after deducting the travel expenses. In the Buddhist card shop, my brother-in-law counted the forty hundred-yuan bills, and his face was full of joy: "Brother-in-law, why didn't you mess with you a few years ago?" What kind of class do you go to, I will be an assistant for you for three years, and I can buy a new house! ”
Because Master Qing Xiu specially emphasized that he could not reveal the details of this business, I had to hold back and not say anything. But I'm a person who likes to gossip, and I don't want to talk about it as a talking point, it's worse than being beaten.
In the evening, I called Fang Gang, first asked him to keep it secret, and then talked about Master Qingxiu, and asked if it was possible to let Master Azan, who really has magic power in Thailand, come to China to set up a dojo to accept disciples, and how quickly the money would come.
"You think only you can think of this and no one else can't?" Fang Gang sneered a few times. I said that I didn't see that Master Azan from Thailand had set up a field in China to take disciples, and that these monks from Chinese temples and living Buddhas from Tibet were more popular, but they didn't seem to have the magic power to see with their own eyes, and that's why.
Fang Gang said: "You don't understand, even if you invite Nangya and Dengkang to China and help them set up a dojo to cast spells and collect disciples, it will not be more popular than monks and living Buddhas." ”
