Chapter 341: My Good Daughter

Qin Mubai leaned over and hugged her simply, "I'm not tired, this is Dad's job, I'm not tired." But are you two tired of studying every day?"

"Don't be tired, there are a lot of things in the school to enrich yourself. Cai Wenji nodded and said as a matter of course.

"Mm-hmm, Haoyue is not tired...... It is...... It's just ......" Wang Zhaojun struggled.

"What's it?" Qin Mubai looked at this little guy with a smile.

"It's like, it would have been better if the teacher had let us play a little longer. Wang Zhaojun looked at Qin Mubai with some apprehension.

"Haha. Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing, if it weren't for still holding Cai Wenji, Qin Mubai would have wanted to pinch her little face, this little guy is getting more and more lively now.

"Dad, and the guests. Cai Wenji, who was in Qin Mubai's arms, reminded him in a low voice.

"Oh. Look at me. Qin Mubai knocked on his head, then turned around and said to the three people behind him, "Sorry, I haven't been back for too long. ”

"It's okay, haha, Mr. Qin, this human happiness is the envy of everyone, it should be, it should be. Zhang Daoling's face is about to bloom with a smile, Qin Mubai has children, what does this have to do with the Buddha?

"Mr. Qin is really temperamental, and he has a relationship with my Buddha. Xuanzang also said with a smile.

Qin Mubai put the two little guys down, and then said with a smile: "This is Master Zhang Tianshi, this is Master Xuanzang, and this is Mr. Li Bai." ”

"I've seen Master Zhang Tian, I've seen Master Xuanzang, I've seen Mr. Li Bai. The two little girls respectfully saluted all three. Mr. has the meaning of a teacher, so it is not an exaggeration for the two little girls to say so.

"Oh, you see the first time we met, the two little girls were so cute, I had nothing to give, these two jade pendants were given to the two little girls. Zhang Daoling immediately smiled on his face, stretched out his hands, and didn't see how he moved, and there were two extra jade pendants in his hands.

The best jade pendant made of mutton fat white jade, the two jade pendants are exactly the same, and there are two phoenixes carved on them. Cai Wenji and Wang Zhaojun both glanced at Qin Mubai, Qin Mubai paused, and finally nodded and said, "Take it." ”

"Thank you, Tianshi Zhang. Both little ones respectfully accepted it.

"Two little donors, I don't have anything to give, I am an ascetic, I have no long things, these two Buddhist beads are carved by my own hands, and they are not a treasure, give them to you, may it bless you with health and peace. Xuanzang smiled slightly, folded his hands, and then squatted down with a smile, and then two strings of Buddhist beads appeared in his hand, these two strings of Buddhist beads are not very long, if they are carried on the wrist of an adult, it is a slightly larger bracelet, that's all.

"Thank you, Master Xuanzang. The two little ones thanked them again.

"Haha, Lao Qin, I'm a poor man, and I don't have anything superfluous, otherwise I will write poems with two hands?" Li Bai said with a laugh.

"It's okay, that's what it means. Qin Mubai smiled, what Zhang Daoling meant Qin Mubai naturally knew, but they were willing to send it, and Qin Mubai accepted it.

"Come in and sit down. ”

"Dad, what is a Buddha?" Wang Zhaojun raised his head and looked at Qin Mubai and asked.

Qin Mubai didn't answer, he couldn't answer this, if it was just him and Wang Zhaojun, Qin Mubai might be able to explain casually, but there was Xuanzang next to him, so Qin Mubai couldn't speak casually.

As if to understand what Qin Mubai meant, Xuanzang smiled and took two steps forward, squatted down and said: "Buddha, it is a kind of power in your heart, it is a kind of faith, as long as you believe and believe in it, you can get the Buddha's response and relieve your suffering." ”

Xuanzang's words, Qin Mubai was noncommittal, there are some things in it that you can't say it's wrong, but there are some things you can't say it's right, for those who believe in it, it's a good thing to have faith, and for those who don't believe in it, it's nothing.

"If that's the case, then those poor people can be relieved of their misery as long as they believe in it?" Wang Zhaojun asked as he stared at Xuanzang with big eyes.

Zhang Daoling, who was next to him, almost laughed when he heard Wang Zhaojun's words, but he couldn't help it and didn't move.

Xuanzang smiled slightly, then shook his head and said: "Everyone in the world suffers, everyone has their own suffering, Buddha is the highest practitioner of virtue, wisdom, and compassion, as long as you believe in him, he has the power to purify all sentient beings, but he is not to help you solve suffering, but to give you the power to solve suffering." ”

"Master Xuanzang, you said that the Buddha is the supreme practitioner of compassion, then he should be very compassionate, right? He is willing to help everyone who needs help, right?" Wang Zhaojun asked curiously.

"Yes. Xuanzang smiled and nodded.

"Then since he has the power to purify sentient beings, I have read a lot of history books, many dynasties have experienced a lot of natural disasters, those starvation is everywhere, many people can only eat soil and grass in order to survive, and in the end they are still starved to death, then why didn't the Buddha help them. Wang Zhaojun's big eyes were full of expectation.

But Qin Mubai, who asked this, couldn't help but widen his eyes, my daughter, who showed you this book, although it was said that your aunt showed you the Zizhi Tongjian before, but when did it rise to such a height.

Xuanzang was silent for a moment, and then said softly: "Maybe they don't believe in Buddha, so Buddha can't give them guidance in their hearts and can't give them strength." ”

"Shouldn't a compassionate person do his best to help others without expecting anything in return?" Wang Zhaojun was a little puzzled.

Zhang Daoling, who was standing behind at this time, couldn't laugh anymore, just looked at Xuanzang quietly.

Xuanzang was silent for a while, and after a long time, he sighed lightly: "So the Buddha leads people to goodness, saves people, guides people's kindness, and guides people to help more people in need." ”

"Since it's people who help people, why do you believe in Buddhism?" the little guy didn't know how many questions he was holding, so he asked directly. Qin Mubai didn't know where this problem came from.

"Because there are only a few people who are willing to help, the Buddha should try to save the more people who are not willing to help to help others, to help those bad people, so that they can become good people and help others. Xuanzang changed his posture and sat cross-legged in front of Wang Zhaojun.

"He's already a bad person, so why should he believe in the Buddha who made him better? If he wanted to be good, shouldn't he have become good a long time ago?" Wang Zhaojun was a little confused.

"Maybe this bad guy just lacks a guide, he can't see through some things, so we who believe in Buddhism need us to guide him and guide him to goodness, if there is a guide like us, then he sees through it and becomes better, isn't there one less bad guy and one more good guy?" Xuanzang's face was very serious, as if he was not answering the words of a three-year-old child.

"But...... What does this have to do with the Buddha, if I want to help someone become better, then I just don't believe in Buddhism, I believe in my father, I will also help that person to become better, it has nothing to do with what I believe. Wang Zhaojun asked a little tangled.

Qin Mubai didn't dare to let the little guy ask, as the saying goes, there is no taboo in fairy tales, but sometimes, this fairy tale is the most difficult to answer. Qin Mubai played a round and hurriedly said: "Tong Yan Wuji, Tong Yan Wu Ji, Master Xuanzang, please don't care." ”

Xuanzang was silent for a long time before he stood up again and said: "Mr. Qin, although Ling Ai is a child's words, but the children's words are up to the heart of a person, there may be some questions that I haven't figured out, can I meditate and think about it in your mansion?"

"Well, Master, please. Qin Mubai choked for a moment, but he was quite happy in his heart, I'll go, my good daughter, you are amazing, Qin Mubai felt that she asked Xuanzang these questions more than what Zhang Daoling said.

Lao Zhang is a person of the Han Dynasty, he also used a Ming Dynasty word yesterday, or wine and meat through the intestines, the Buddha left in his heart, even Qin Mubai knew that that sentence came from a master of the Ming Dynasty, because Zhang Xianzhong rebelled at that time, forced a monk to eat meat and passed on the allusion, the master himself was also compassionate, in order to save others did this thing to break the vows.

But then again, it seems that the earliest scriptures handed down by Shakyamuni did not have the doctrine of pure rules and precepts, which were added by later generations. But you really can't investigate these things, who knows which ones are true and which ones are false.

To be honest, if Qin Mubai was allowed to say it, Qin Mubai would rather believe that these things were changed back and forth for the needs of the rulers at that time, at least, some of them were definitely to cater to the rulers of the time, because only in this way could their teachings be passed on.

Xuanzang stood up and walked directly outside, but Qin Mubai also understood that Wang Zhaojun could ask Xuanzang, it was because Xuanzang was a real master, he was unwilling to avoid questions, if it was some old fritters, some words could prevaricate Wang Zhaojun.

Perhaps, at this moment, he is also asking his own heart, what is a Buddha, this thing, everyone has everyone's understanding. However, to Qin Mubai's surprise, Zhang Daoling also arched his hand at Qin Mubai, and said with a serious face: "Mr. Qin, I am also meditating and thinking in your mansion. ”

"Uh-good. Qin Mubai nodded, "Why don't you be in such a big place in the house?" Qin Mubai didn't expect Xuanzang to go outside.

"No, let's go outside. Zhang Daoling waved his hand and followed Xuanzang.

Qin Mubai had some entanglements, he wanted to call the two people back, but he didn't know how to call them back, why don't they call them back, let the family meditate outside their homes...... That's not right, right?

"Brother Qin, they have their own ideas, you don't have to dwell on this, if you dwell on this, it's completely unnecessary, if they can't see through these themselves, what's the use of you struggling?" Li Bai next to him walked over and said with a smile.

"Okay. Qin Mubai was silent for a moment, and then he could only shake his head and put this matter down.
