Everyone smiled and acquiesced.

With Chen Lao's status, who would dare to make a move with him? Who would dare to be presumptuous in front of him? Even if you dare, the entire Xiangjiang and even the rich people of Nanyang would not let you go.

A powerful Feng Shui master, the energy behind him is definitely beyond your imagination. It is a very wise thing to win over a feng shui master, and even if you can't win it over, you should not offend a feng shui master. If this feng shui master has good ethics, he won't worry too much about you. If it's the kind of feng shui master who will repay you, you will definitely be unlucky. Even if this feng shui master's strength is not very good, but it is easy to dodge with an open gun, but it is difficult to guard against a hidden arrow! He uses a trick in the dark, and your net worth is probably about to shrink.

Of course, this is also the trouble of the rich, in other words, if you are poor, it is estimated that no feng shui master wants to calculate him, and he can't make it!

Tang Chen smiled and said, "Old Chen, is this Tai Chi difficult to learn?"

Chen Lao said seriously: "It's not difficult, fools can learn it." But I'm afraid to stick to anything, I've been rain or shine for decades, getting up early every day to practice boxing, you ask yourself if you can do it?"

To be honest, Tang Chen really didn't dare to guarantee it.

You must know that Tang Chen is a college student who is "upright and young"; in the dormitory of the university, it is like a morgue in the morning, except for the corpses who have morning classes to go out and hang around, the rest of the time he sleeps with his head covered; at noon it is like a nursing home, most people are paralyzed in bed and are unconscious, and some hemiplegic people can still pick up mobile phones and computers; in the afternoon, it is like an Internet café, where a group of people begin to crackle and play games, and from time to time they explode; at night it is like a madhouse, where a group of psychopaths laugh, cry and scream; and in the early morning, it is like a CIA, with blue and white light reflected on their faces, and their hands keep tapping on the keyboard. After spending four years in this environment, Tang Chen doubted whether he could get up early.

"What's the matter, you can't hold on, right?" Old Chen had a hint of playfulness in his eyes.

Tang Chen couldn't stand such a look the most, and raised his head: "What's so difficult about this!"

"Okay, then tomorrow you will stay at my house, and I will tell you to get up early every day!" Old Chen's "treacherous plan" succeeded, and everyone laughed.

Tang Chen was stunned: "Old Chen, you dug a pit for me to jump in!"

"You said it yourself, I didn't force you, or you can drive to my house in the morning, anyway, just get there before six o'clock. Old Chen blinked "innocently".

"Forget it, I'll stay with you. Tang Chen did not hesitate to choose the path arranged by Chen Lao.

Chen Lao sighed and said: "Do you think I want to do this, not only do I have to give you a place to live, but also take care of your food, and most importantly, I won't charge you a penny." ”

Tang Chen said helplessly: "Why don't I stop learning?"

Chen Lao hurriedly said, "That's not good!"

Tang Chen snickered, at this time, the water was boiling. Tang Chen started to make tea a little clumsily, and after a lot of effort, he finally poured a cup of tea for everyone.

"Xiao Tang, your tea is good!"

Chen Lao took a sip lightly and carefully tasted it before saying.

Tang Chen smiled: "I don't know if it's good or not, just pick according to the expensive one." This expensive tea is better than cheap, right?"

"This makes sense!" Qian Lao sighed, "It's like a magic weapon, everyone in the world knows that magic weapons are good, but haven't they thought about it, where is there a magic weapon that can be opened for ten yuan or a hundred yuan?"

Qian Lao's words reminded Tang Chen: "By the way, Qian Lao, what are you saying about the blessings of Buddhism?"

In fact, there is nothing unusual about this Buddhist blessing. To put it bluntly, blessings are a way of giving faith to believers, just as a company commander would encourage his soldiers by patting them on the shoulder. The more faith you have in this monk, the more powerful you will feel that he is giving you. Well, it's a bit like the relationship between action and reaction in physics. Qian Lao said seriously.

"Force and reaction force?" Tang Chen was speechless for a moment, "What is this?"

Qian Lao Zhengse said: "Feng Shui has a certain scientific explanation, why can't Buddhism have it?"

Tang Chen smiled bitterly: "Old Qian, I didn't mean that, I just felt very awkward." ”

"That's right, there's a lot of things in this world that you don't understand. When you can't accept it, he's awkward. Venerable Tsuizheng said that as an enlightened monk, when he talks about consecration, he will say, 'How can we be qualified to consecrate Buddha statues and Dharma objects?'"

"But why do you want to open the light, what kind of opening ceremony, what kind of magic object is opened?" Zeng Lao said suspiciously, "Is it for the incense money?"

This is the most extreme speculation.

There are indeed some professional monks in society, but there are also many truly moral monks.

Qian Lao Zhengse said: "Master Qiangzheng's answer was unexpected, he said, 'This is for people to see. Because ordinary people have this kind of blind obedience mentality, after this appearance is made, the person who asks for the purchase and the person who wears it will be at ease, and when he encounters something, he will be better, he will be calmer, and he will be calmer. That's where the trick comes in, and it's this state of mind that really works—calm, calm. ’

Don't think that finding a monk to consecrate the Dharma instrument will be spiritual. If an ordinary man consecrates the Buddha statue, then the Buddha statue has also become an ordinary man. If the light is enlightened, and if the light is not opened, it will not be spiritual, so why should you ask for this Buddha statue? Isn't it good to ask for this Dharma teacher? Because the Dharma Master is more powerful and effective than the Buddha statue. Isn't this upside down? This is the wrong concept of people in the world, and the consecration of Buddhism is to enable ceremonies, to tell the public what it means to shape Buddha statues and build buildings, and what kind of attitude should be used as mortals to worship. Blindly seeking the Dharma instrument and seeking enlightenment is putting the cart before the horse. ”

Tang Chen said in surprise, "What kind of correction mage is this?"

"Pretty much. Qian Lao smiled bitterly, "It's been more than ten or twenty years, and I almost forgot about it." ”

"This is a bit of a Zen thing!" Master Deng said with emotion, "Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform. It is worthy of Nanhua Temple, and it is really in the same vein. ”

Qian Lao asked a little surprised: "Master Deng still has a little study of Buddhism!" Speaking of this, Qian Lao seemed to suddenly remember something, "Yes, stone carvings also have to carve Buddha statues, I forgot ......"

"According to this, isn't the blessing of Buddhism more symbolic than practical?" Tang Chen was a little incredulous.

Qian Lao smiled: "I can't say that, the 'enlightenment' in Buddhism itself has no mystery at all, it is just a Buddhist ritual." It's a bit like a secular statue inauguration ceremony. Buddhist monasteries, stupas and statues are inaugurated, and consecration ceremonies are held to show the Dharma to the public, to show that the Dharma will live forever, to remind the public not to forget the Buddha's grace, to practice diligently, and to open up the light of our own nature. Therefore, it is not people who open up the light to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas do not need people to open the light at all, but to express their wisdom in the image of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and to open the light of wisdom of our own nature through the light of the Buddha's prajna, which is the true meaning of the enlightenment of Buddhism.

Generally speaking, the Buddhist consecration rituals mainly include: exorcism, cleansing of impurities, contemplation of Buddha, welcoming Buddha, offerings, chanting mantras, transforming forms, calming the nerves, consecration, blessings, scattering flowers, etc. This is the ritual of Buddhism, and it is also the culture of Buddhism. If you happen to be able to catch the inauguration ceremony of a temple, pagoda, and Buddha statue, it is a very auspicious thing, and it is very rare. Even if you don't believe in Buddhism, it's good to feel the connotation of Buddhist culture up close. ”
