Chapter 157: All Laws Are Impermanent, and People Are Too
,!
The car drove all the way up the mountain, the smoke and rain were hazy in the layers of mountains, the long and deep bells rang in my ears from time to time, the air was full of clouds and mist at my fingertips, I lowered the window, and the cold wind poured in, hitting my face, although it was cold and cold, but it had a unique freshness in the mountains, no wonder Li Ziluo let me wear more.
The car drove into the parking lot on the mountain, and as soon as I got out of the car, I saw the Zen temple in the distance like a heavenly palace, one by one, one by one, the momentum was magnificent, and a towering glazed tower was located on the top of the mountain, and the faint beauty seemed to be real and illusory.
After getting out of the car, Li Ziluo led me out of the parking lot in a big way, made a phone call on the way, and seemed to say to the person on the other end of the phone: "I've arrived." ”
Then I saw five men coming out of the teahouse not far away, and three women, those men were quite old, looking like forty or fifty, but at first glance it was an extraordinary feeling, one of them was a middle-aged woman, who looked very strong, wearing dark fur, and the other two women were very young, estimated to be about the same age as me, or a little older than me, one of the women looked like a special temperament, a quiet appearance, not pretty, but those eyes were very special, as if they could speak, It's hard to forget at a glance, and the other woman is dressed up more fashionably and has a lot of makeup.
Seeing Li Zi behind, several men greeted him enthusiastically, and one of them was a middle-aged man in a tweed coat who said: "Let's talk while walking, we have a whole day to talk about today anyway, don't let the Lord wait for a long time." ”
So Li Ziluo let go of me and walked in front with the group of men, chatting about some things in the mall, and the middle-aged woman also walked with them, and me and the two women were left behind.
The two of them seemed to know each other, and the woman with heavy makeup asked me what my name was, and after I told her my name, she squinted and said, "I'm Mengqi, her name is Jiang Tao, just call her Xiao Tao." ”
As he was talking, the girl named Jiang Tao and I bowed slightly.
Then I heard Meng Qi whisper to Xiao Tao: "Has your Lao Su come back a lot recently?" ”
Xiao Tao shook her head lightly: "There is a new factory in Hezhou, and it rarely comes back." ”
Meng Qi looked at the few men in front of her, and lowered her voice a little more: "I didn't say you, you have been following Lao Su for so long, it stands to reason that you should be making a lot of money, right?" If you're almost thirty years old, you can take it if you can, don't smash yourself into his hands. ”
Xiao Tao looked back at me cautiously, I hurriedly took my mobile phone and pretended to photograph the ginkgo tree, to be honest, Xiao Tao really didn't look like she was almost thirty.
She replied to Meng Qi in a low voice: "Some time ago, I said that I wanted to transfer a villa in Haikou to my name, but I refused. ”
Meng Qi said excitedly: "You are sick!" ”
I secretly went to see Xiao Tao, her face looked a little pale, and she said weakly: "Why do you want so much money, everyone is gone..."
We didn't enter through the main entrance of the visitor area, a young drunken led us down a winding stone path, and before we could go far, the temple reflected in the greenery, the apricot yellow courtyard walls, and the blue-gray temple ridge appeared in front of everyone.
A monk wearing a robe and looking very rich was waiting at the door, and there were a few younger monks standing beside him.
Then led by Venerable Xiancheng, we stepped into the temple one after another, and listened to their conversation, only to learn that this temple seems to be a regular stream of pilgrims, and the incense is very strong.
Venerable Xiancheng took us directly to a large hall at the back of the temple, which seemed to be closed to the public, and there was no one else except us, and it was very clean.
As soon as I stepped into the hall, there was a statue of Sakyamuni in the middle, and everyone worshiped in turn, their men first, Xiao Tao, Mengqi and the middle-aged woman were standing behind, I stood with them, ready to wait for their men to finish worshipping and then go up, who expected that when it was Li Ziluo's turn, he suddenly turned around and shouted to me: "Xiao Poo, come here." ”
I was stunned for a moment, and then walked next to him, he led me to the front of the worship mat, we bowed separately, I suddenly thought about it, how do I feel a sense of déjà vu in the church, and then my heart tightened, I actually wanted to be confused in front of the Buddha, sins and sins...
After worshipping, Li Ziluo pulled me up, and then a few men next to me looked at me squarely, and he immediately let go of me and continued to move forward with the others.
There are a lot of eighteen Arhats, Guanyin Bodhisattvas, etc., with different expressions, lifelike, I have been wandering around, trying to see if I can find the old matchmaker or something, and give a good goodbye, but they go faster, I don't have the opportunity to chat with the old moon, it's a pity.
However, a merchant is a merchant, and he is very devout to the God of Wealth Temple, and a group of people specially went to get incense money.
After the lesson, it was exactly noon, and the abbot led us to the meal.
Although it is a fast meal, it is as delicate and beautiful as the food in the big restaurant, and if it weren't for the presence of so many big guys, I really want to take a few photos before eating.
When eating, I paid attention to the old Su in Mengqi's mouth, this Su should be forty years old, he looks very energetic, he is very tall, he speaks very sleek and sophisticated, Xiao Tao sits next to him very quietly, and silently serves him soup or vegetables.
Mengqi's man is a little short and chubby, surnamed Zheng, I only learned during the meal that these two people should be the outer room, to put it bluntly, they are the third or fourth of the rich people, and the middle-aged woman is Mr. Yan's wife, called Lu Hua, no wonder she is a little reluctant to take care of the two of them.
After eating, their men wanted to talk about some business things together, and a few of our women were taken to the tea room next door, and someone brought the door after we finished tea, a very quiet place, outside the floor-to-ceiling glass is a bamboo forest, and the scenery is very good.
Meng Qi took a sip of tea and raised her eyes and asked me, "You haven't been with Mr. Li for a long time, right?" ”
I said in my heart that it's been thirteen years, and you said it's not long, but I just smiled faintly.
Unexpectedly, Meng Qi said: "You are quite different from the last time." ”
I was just about to pick up the teacup with a pause, Xiao Tao immediately pulled Meng Qi, she looked a little indifferent: "What can't you say, you people are just brainless, Mr. Li is so young and not married, do you still expect a woman by his side?" ”
Xiao Tao's face turned even paler, my fingers trembled slightly, and soon stabilized, continued to take the tea to his mouth and took a sip, then put it down steadily, turned his head to Xiao Tao and smiled and said: "I think women would rather be paranoid than give up their ideals, what if it comes true, right?" “
Xiao Tao looked at the desktop thoughtfully, and Meng Qi said sourly: "Mr. Li is very special to you, but I don't know who to change next time." ”
My face was a little unbearable, and at this time, Lu Hua, who had been sitting next to me without saying a word, took a piece of dim sum and handed it to me: "If you run yourself as an empress, you will naturally attract the emperor, and if you run yourself as a princess, you will naturally attract the prince, and if you run yourself as a goblin, you will naturally attract hooligans." ”
Meng Qi immediately shouted: "Who do you say is a goblin and who is a hooligan?" ”
Lu Hua glanced at her: "Little girl, you will come back in ten years to ponder my words." ”
After drinking a cup of tea, Lu Hua didn't pay attention to Mengqi anymore, but asked me for a phone number and added > to each other
Fortunately, after a while, the men were going to listen to the Dharma, so we got up and went with us, and we went to a spacious meditation room, and we each sat down, and Li Ziluo beckoned to me and asked me to sit in front of me and sit next to him.
Soon Venerable Xiancheng began to explain the Dharma, talking about the "Four Noble Truths" - suffering, concentration, extinction, and path, cause and effect, and dependent origination, I listened to it very boring, plus the temperature of the Zen room was high, and I wanted to sleep a little rhythmically, just when my eyelids were almost closed, I suddenly felt that someone pinched my hand, and immediately drove away my drowsiness, I hurriedly turned my head sideways to see Li Ziluo, and he put his two hands in front of him expressionlessly.
I blinked twice and stared at Master Xiancheng in front of me, and began to count how many Buddha beads on his neck were in my heart, the more I counted my eyes, the more dazzling I felt, and suddenly I felt that Master Xiancheng's eyes were cast towards me, and immediately what I said about the whole person, there was a special feeling of clarity, and the Buddhist beads that were full of thoughts just now suddenly dissipated.
I heard him say, "The Dharma is impermanent, everything in the world is in motion and changing, and there is nothing static and unchanging." Ordinary people think that people live for decades and the end of their lives before they are considered 'impermanent', but in fact, the cells and ideologies in the human body are changing all the time, and they are moving alternately between birth and death.
Neither the material nor the spiritual, whether it is the macrocosm or the microcosm, cannot escape the law of impermanence. Engels said that the world is not a collection of immutable things, but a collection of processes. This is completely consistent with the view of the Dharma..."
I gradually frowned, and suddenly felt that this old monk said very reasonable, especially in the past few years since I came out of school, I feel that my changes are even beyond the established mode of thinking, people's lives are really impermanent, in the next few decades, I don't know what I will become, will I still be full of expectations for the future every day like now?
But one thing I know, no matter how things change, I will always love this man next to me, even if life and death alternate, the stars change...
Thinking about it, I turned my head to look at Li Ziluo, and the voice of Venerable Xiancheng still sounded in my ears: "Nirvana is not the meaning of death in the secular sense, but transcends the painful stage of death and enters the happy realm of quiet and inaction. Nirvana is the highest state that all practitioners of the worldly Dharma aspire to achieve, and to enter Nirvana is to get rid of the cycle of birth and death, to cut off the root of all afflictions, and to enter the world of refuge with the existence of the universe..."
Li Ziluo listened attentively, and a touch of contemplation floated between his good-looking eyebrows, I don't know what he was thinking at the moment...
