Chapter 210: The Land of Reincarnation (Part II)
"Master Zhikong, what are your orders" An old monk slowly walked up to the high platform, and after bowing to Ling Chen, he asked.
"Let me ask you, if you don't live for a long time, are you willing to give up the rest of your life and reincarnate today to become enlightened to all sages, or do you want to continue the rest of your life and reincarnate when your life is over?"
"The old man wishes to be nirvana, so as to save everyone" The old monk finished speaking, and sat down on the ground, his eyes closed.
After a long time, I saw him leaning and his head hanging down.
Ling Chen had already seen that he had been tired for many years, he had run out of oil, he had lost his breath, and he would die at any time, this had nothing to do with cultivation, many old people could hold their last breath, they all had obsessions in their hearts, and once they lost their obsessions, they would die immediately.
Ling Chen clasped his hands together, then unfolded them and placed them on his head.
Everyone saw a spiritual light coming out of the old monk's top door, and then disappeared.
…………
Huichen old monk, a lifetime of practice to help others, he is the first to accept Ling Chen's new Buddhist teachings of a group of local monks, the reason why he will accept, of course, is also to see the original Hu Sect of many ills, monks only receive offerings, still empty talk, not practical, in fact, there are many branch sects in China later, Zen Buddhism pays attention to not doing and not eating, so the improvement of the local monks to Ling Chen, in fact, there is the soil of the idea of acceptance.
He asks himself about people and things, never feels guilty, treats people sincerely everywhere he goes, and does his best wherever he can.
When Ling Chen placed his hands on his skull, his consciousness soul came to a long corridor.
He was fearless and walked slowly.
As he stepped into the corridor, the walls on both sides suddenly changed. The deeds of his life have emerged one by one.
Of course Huichen didn't know. This is Ling Chen's selection and engrave the memories of this life into his soul.
How to pick. Naturally, it is to see how much attention Huichen attaches to these memories.
From being at home at the age of five, encountering natural disasters, breaking the family, wandering, and then being taken in by a temple, starting as a handyman, gradually recognized by monks, and then shaved.
In the middle, he also met the person he liked. But I had no choice but to miss it.
On the wall of memory, he saw the woman, who had come to give alms, and who was just a sweeper.
The first time a woman came to worship, it was to ask for a wishful husband.
He sprinkled and swept beside the Buddha.
A quick glance is that the love is deeply rooted.
When she said goodbye, the woman had already come to worship the Bodhisattva.
And he's shaved.
The third time I heard the news, the woman had already died in childbirth.
He prayed in front of the Buddha.
"A qiē love will be, impermanence is rare for a long time. There is a lot of fear in life. Life is in danger of morning dew. From love to worry, from love to fear, if you are separated from the lover, worry-free and fearless"
He read it in his mouth. On this wall of memory, he lingered for a while, and finally shook his head. Walked on, those laughter. All those sorrows and sorrows are gone with the footsteps.
Further onwards. He saw the scene in his memory.
A child with a cold and was abandoned on the road, already dying, he worked tirelessly to seek medical advice and save him.
A village was levied by tax collectors, and he negotiated with it, but was beaten to the point of dying and was rescued by the villagers.
"Every thought and action is practice, and a person is on the road of cultivation in his life."
No matter how long the memory is, there is an end, and Monk Huichen soon came to an end.
I saw a whirlpool in front of me, and there were scenes in the whirlpool, a rich family, a poor family, and at this moment, babies croaked to the ground.
"Am I going to be reincarnated?"
Huichen watched the scene of one of the babies landing on the ground, the parents around him were happy or sad, the rich were more happy, and the poor family had more mouths to eat.
No one answered him, but Huichen thought a lot.
"If I practice in this life, I will be able to enter a rich house in the next life, but I will consume the blessings of this life?"
He thinks so, it can be seen that he is a kind person, and he just happened to be the original intention of Ling Chen's design, this reincarnation in the next life is indeed related to cultivation, the more good deeds in this life, the thicker the accumulation, the more choices he has when he is reincarnated, of course, if he chooses a poor family, it is also his freedom.
However, there are naturally a number of wealthy families, and the number of descendants of wealthy families is also limited, increasing with the times, and the evaluation is also changing. Of course, it can only be regarded as rich, not expensive, and the ancient rich and noble families had power and could have a large number of servants to serve, but most modern families can't do it.
He chosen, and later the reincarnated people naturally had fewer choices.
"No, I am poor in this life, and I will still choose poverty in the next life, I will practice this for ten lifetimes"
Huichen thought this, and then jumped into a whirlpool.
…………
On the high platform, Ling Chen raised his head and said to everyone, "Master Huichen has been reincarnated, and he is now in Yongqiu County, Chenliu County, Yanzhou, in the home of a villager in Nanhe."
Ling Chen made the location clear, and everyone had to believe it, because it was easy to verify, it was only a little more than a month away from Yanzhou, if it was a fast horse, it would be possible to reach it in a few days, and with Ling Chen's prestige experience, he would not say such a word.
"You can bear witness with me,"
After saying this, all the monks, and some believers, who were anxious, either took a carriage or rode a horse, and went first, and the rest gathered into a group and marched with Ling Chen.
…………
More than ten days later, everyone has come here, the local villagers are sincerely afraid, and there are local officials and village elders on the road to greet them.
The people who came here earlier have already found the family that gave birth to the child, after all, the time and place have been set, and the baby born at that time is the same family.
Someone led the people to the door. The alleys were too narrow to accommodate so many people, and many had to wait outside the village.
A big fat boy, held by a simple peasant woman, was being watched by many people, but he didn't cry or make trouble.
The peasants were timid, but the village elders were still presiding over to welcome these big men from the big city of Luoyang.
"How can this prove that it is the reincarnation of the Huichen monk?"
Someone opened his mouth to question, this was not questioning Ling Chen, but the questioning heart that everyone must have when they practice the new Buddhist teachings.
"It is very simple, and after a few months the child will be able to speak, and he will have early wisdom, and on this day, if everyone wants to verify one or two, they can also take a wooden fish."
Ling Chen did this, naturally because the soul in the baby's body already existed, it was the old monk Huichen's, although the consciousness was not generated, but compared to a completely newborn baby to start from the soul to rebuild, naturally much faster.
And because babies already have souls, they can naturally be more sensitive to some things in the outside world.
Soon an accompanying monk brought the wooden fish.
The baby originally looked at everyone indifferently, but when he saw the wooden fish, his eyes were wide open, staring at the wooden fish motionless, when someone put the wooden fish in front of him, he stretched out his little hand that was still very immature, and tried to catch it, but naturally failed.
"Sure enough, I have a relationship with the Buddha," some said. (To be continued......)
