"Actually, they didn't leave, but hid behind your back and climbed on your back. Because you are Sister Hua's life. Grandpa said to Shang Ruoran.

"Sister Hua's life?" Shang Ruoran was taken aback.

"That's right, a person like you has a soul that is too pure, so he has been weak and sick since he was a child, and it is also because his soul is too pure, and his feelings are easily frustrated, and he will be seriously ill as soon as he gets engaged, let alone married, and he will die of illness as soon as he gets married."

"Isn't it good for the soul to be too pure? Why are these troubles caused by the purity of the soul? Shang Ruoran asked.

Grandpa said: "When the water is clear, there are no fish, and if people are too rigid, it is easy to break." Anything that is too pure will not survive in this world. From the perspective of Buddhism, Sister Hua's good roots are very deep, if you are polluted by the filthy world and pursue all kinds of desires in the world, you will be very uncomfortable, very sensitive to all kinds of pollution, and of course you will be prone to illness. ”

"So what should I do?"

"As Sister Hua, the best destination is not the world of chasing fame and fortune, but the Buddhism of indifference to fame and fortune. You can go to the temple to worship a master, and the green lantern ancient wall is a companion. Those little imps won't haunt you. That's how you get a good death. Daddy said.

"You want me to become a monk?" Shang Ruoran glared and said, "I don't want to be a monk!" I can't live that kind of light life! ”

Grandpa said, "If you don't want to leave the house, there is another way." ”

"Speak quickly, speak quickly." Shang Ruoran urged.

"Find a place to live with excellent feng shui. If Feng Shui is excellent, you will also be blessed. If you have to get married, then you have to find a good and blessed person. If the good roots of that great good person are also deep, you will be in a relatively pure place, avoiding being polluted by the turbidity of the world. However, this method is still far from being effective. ”

Shang Ruoran said: "What kind of place is considered to be excellent feng shui? What kind of person is considered a good person? ”

Daddy was puzzled: "It's easy to say, but it's hard to find." It can only depend on your own chance. ”

"Chance ......" Shang Ruoran whispered these two words, falling into deep thought.

After a while, Shang Ruoran asked his father, "Have you ever met someone like me before?" ”

Grandpa said, "Of course I have met it." ”

"What happened to that man?"

Grandpa said: "There are a very small number of people who have Sister Hua's life will gradually get better, and finally get rid of Sister Hua's life." I used to have a friend whose daughter was Sister Hua's life, and I saw it very early. His daughter has been innate sensitive and devout to the Buddha since she was a child, and when she was two or three years old, she would worship the Buddha statue when she saw it, and she was not as devout as she should have at her age. When she was seven or eight years old, my friend took her out to play. One night, my friend asked his daughter to sleep, but she knelt down on the bed and bowed three times against the wall. My friend asked her what she was doing. She said she saw a Buddha statue inside the wall. The next day, they came out to play, and my friend found out that there was a small temple next door to where they lived. His daughter could sense it through a wall. ”

"I'm obsessed with flowers, she's obsessed with Buddha? I heard that the Buddha smiled, could this be the connection between me and her? Shang Ruoran frowned and said.

Grandpa smiled indifferently and said, "Buddha and flowers have a deep cause. There is not only the saying that 'the Buddha smiled with flowers', but also the saying that 'borrowing flowers to offer Buddha'. Buddhism calls flowers 'Hua', offering flowers in front of Buddha or Bodhisattva is called 'offering flowers', and those scattered around the mandala are called 'Sanhua'. The life of the Buddha, from birth to enlightenment to nirvana, is closely related to flowers. Not only that, Buddhism also often uses flowers to express different realms of practice in the practice of the Mahayana Bodhisattva Path. ”

"Can flowers still express different realms of cultivation?"

"yes. The practice of the Mahayana Bodhisattva path is divided into six degrees, which are generosity, vows, forbearance, diligence, meditation, and prajna. And a flower has these six spirits. Take generosity as an example, when the flowers bloom, they exude a fragrance and show a beautiful appearance, which makes people happy at first sight and brings joy to people, so it has the spirit of giving. For example, the flower is punctual and always blooms at a certain time and range, unlike kudzu vines that cling to other plants. Although it is beautiful, it does not infringe on others, so it has the spirit of keeping vows. Take forbearance as an example, before the flower blooms, it must be buried deep in the soil by seeds, and after a period of gestation, it must endure darkness, dampness, and loneliness, and then sprout; Even after flowering, it has to endure wind, frost, rain and snow, as well as the damage of bees and butterflies collecting honey, so it has the spirit of forbearance. Take Jingjin as an example, a flower, no matter how long or short the flowering period is, always strives to spread the fragrant fragrance of the flower and show its most beautiful moment; Even if he is grateful, he still 'turns into spring mud to protect the flowers', and even leaves the seeds, and works tirelessly for the life that follows him, so he has the spirit of perseverance. Taking meditation as an example, flowers quietly open and show a quiet, peaceful, and forbearant temperament, which is the state of meditation. In the case of Prajna, flowers come in a variety of colors, sizes, and fragrances, and they are ever-changing and wonderful. The world of flowers is like the world of people, containing infinite wisdom. Therefore, if a person can appreciate the beauty of flowers, he will be able to sublimate his spiritual life. Even practice is not necessarily the practice of chanting sutras and worshipping the Buddha; Being able to get inspiration from viewing and looking at flowers is also a kind of practice. In ancient times, there were many great masters who watched the impermanence of flowers blooming and changing, and saw the nature of the heart, the so-called 'lush yellow flowers are nothing more than the truth, and the green and verdant bamboos are all wonderful', and the so-called 'one flower and one world', this is the truth! ”

There's so much more to it! I'm obsessed with flowers, she worships Buddha, it turns out that they all mean the same thing! Shang Ruoran exclaimed.

Daddy nodded.

"What's wrong with that girl now? Did you escape to Buddhism? ”

Grandpa shook his head and said, "No." After she was twelve years old, she suddenly lost this sensitivity, and there was no special expression when she saw the Buddha statue. She changed from Sister Hua's life to the life of ordinary people. For children with special lives, the age of twelve can be said to be a hurdle, and after crossing it, it will be safe, and if it can't be crossed, it will be doomed. ”

The age of twelve is a person's first natal year and has a very special significance. This year is often the biggest turning point in a lifetime.

The peach wood talisman that my grandfather and grandfather gave me said that it would bless me until I was twelve years old, and it would not work. And in our place, adults pay as much attention to children as they do to the old people when they turn 12 and celebrate their 60th birthdays.

"Obviously, you didn't cross this hurdle when you were twelve." Daddy said.

"Do I still have a chance to transform into an ordinary life like that girl?" Shang Ruoran asked anxiously.

"If you're not even twelve years old now, I can barely think of a few ways to support you." Grandpa said helplessly.

Nearly 30 years after my grandfather's death, I heard from a college girl who cried out in fear when she saw a Buddha statue as a child. The girl asked me if it was normal for her to do this. I couldn't give her an answer, thinking that if my father was still alive at this time, I could ask him what was going on, and if he had some contact with Sister Hua.

I can't turn back time.

Shang Ruoran can't turn back time.

Shang Ruoran said disappointedly: "It seems that I will never have a chance to get rid of the fate of Sister Hua in my life." ”

Luo Buzhai reminded on the side: "Didn't Ma Xiucai say just now, you can take refuge in Buddhism, or you can find a place with excellent feng shui to live, if you have to get married, you must find a great good person with deep roots, it's not that there is no chance." ”

Shang Ruoran sighed and said, "I definitely don't want to go to the Buddha Gate." I don't understand Feng Shui, I don't know where Feng Shui is good and where Feng Shui is bad. As for the great benevolent people with deep roots, I can't tell the difference, and I don't know where to find them. ”

"What can be found, what can be found." Luo Buzhai said with no confidence.

Shang Ruoran didn't give up and said: "Ma Xiucai, you said that these little ghosts were seen and disappeared when I was a child. Then can you ask Mr. Bai to eat them? ”

Daddy looked at the three sticks of incense outside the door. The three sticks of incense were lit at the same time, but now one is about to burn out, and the other two have not yet been half burned. So, Grandpa said: "You don't have to worry about Sister Hua's life, in the future, you will have good luck." It's better not to deal with those little ghosts, after all, you haven't gotten rid of Sister Hua's life, and if you deal with them, maybe it will attract evil ghosts. Although these imps affect you, they don't affect you much, not too much. If you vacate the place on your back and let the demons take advantage of it, you will never have a peaceful day. ”

Grandpa said such a thing, which was predicted according to the different degrees of burning of the three incense sticks. The three incense sticks represent heaven, earth and man, and after burning for a period of time, their length will generally be different, and the auspiciousness can be judged according to the height of the three incense. For example, the longest in the middle, the lower one on the left, the lowest on the right, etc., according to the length of the incense, there will be different good luck and bad luck. This is called "looking at the incense head".

If the three sticks of incense are burned flush, it is called peace incense, and the main auspicious is a sign that there will be peace and security in the near future. If the incense in the middle is the highest, the left is second, and the right is the lowest, this is called the incense of increasing wealth, and the main auspicious is a sign that there will be a source of wealth coming into the door in the near future. If the incense on the left is the highest, the incense on the right is more than one-third lower than the left, and the lowest in the middle, this is called the incense of evil deeds, as the name suggests, the main culprit, and it is an omen that something unpleasant will happen recently. If the incense in the middle is almost burned out, and only a little is burned on both sides, this is called tongue incense, and the main culprit is an omen that there will be murderers to argue about right and wrong within seven days. In addition, there are also Chenglin incense, filial piety incense, longevity incense, life-urging incense, offering Ruixiang and so on, each with different meanings.

The three incense sticks that were ordered for Shang Ruoran just now are the "incense heads" of Ruixiang at this time. The word "dedication" means to offer Ruixiang, which means good. So Daddy told her not to worry.

However, looking at the incense is looking at things in the short term, not in the long run.
