"Yes.... You.... Guru. ”

The afternoon Buddha nodded with a smile and replied, "Amitabha, donor, you are also a person of heavenly reason, and the old man should call you a master." ”

"The master is serious, I.... I felt your breath and came to you because it felt familiar. ”

The Buddha maintained a meditative posture, twisting his neck slightly, so that he could face the girl squarely, and then he said: "There is fate in the world, kite girl, in the dark, you and I are destined to meet again." ”

This girl was the kite, she didn't know how to reply for a while, with a wry smile on her face, she said for a long time: "Master, why does the Buddha light on your body want to kill me?" ”

"Kill you?" The afternoon Buddha smiled and replied: "Donor, I am redeeming you, haven't you heard the Buddha's voice?"

"I'm not in deep trouble, so what's the salvation?" The kite is wrapped in the golden thread of all things in the world, and the Buddha light of the afternoon Buddha has not been able to penetrate into it. "Does the master think that by taking my life, he is redeeming me?"

"What is the use of life? My Buddha is compassionate, that's just a way of reincarnation, the donor is drenched in blood, tortured by the stench all day long, isn't death a kind of salvation and liberation? He grabbed a little black soil from the ground, and there was a new sprout of young grass in the black soil, and he blew the grass into the mud pit and buried it with soil again. He said: "I didn't kill it, its life continues, and it will come out of the mud again in a short time, just like I send the donor into reincarnation, and your life is not over, and it will reappear somewhere, at a certain time, but it will reappear again, but it will be a clean body, isn't this a great salvation?" ”

"There is a reason for being alive." There was also a young grass at the foot of the kite, and at this time, all the golden threads around her disappeared, and from the tip of the young grass, a slender golden thread appeared, and the kite looked at the thread and said: "Its existence, whether evil or good, brings it a certain meaning, and the golden thread is implicated in a flower not far from the young grass, it turns out that the young grass needs to compete with the flowers for water in the soil, and under this bond, the roots of both grow very quickly and fork more."

The petals that fall into the soil become the best nourishment for the young grass, and the roots of the young grass are more fat for the insects in the soil, which also makes the flowers safer, so although they compete with each other, they are also inseparable from each other. At this time, the kite said: "One meaning affects two meanings, and then more and more connections appear, and although they seem intricate in the end, if you look at the process of their connections, you find that they are justified and well-founded."

As he spoke, the flower extended outward to the golden thread, the source of this line is the "connection" given to it by the young grass, due to the competition for water by the young grass, the flower has to grow downward, so the flower gives another "connection" to the sapling on the other side, not only to snatch the water of the sapling, but also to seize more space in the soil. Therefore, the weakness of the flowers forced them to throw pollen and expand their "team", and the saplings were not mature enough to drop seeds, and eventually they were alone and gradually defeated by the flowers.

The golden thread extended by the sapling not only gives the big tree on the side, but also gives the parasitic reptiles in the soil at the bottom of the seedling a kind of "connection", and the reptile and the big tree give birds, flying insects, goats, flowers and plants different meanings and degrees of "connection", those connections have a head and a tail, there must be too many golden threads to return to the tender grass, at this time, a golden thread has formed a golden net covering countless creatures.

The kite continued: "Each 'connection' is playing its special role, and lo and behold, I cut one of them." As he spoke, he plucked the flower and threw it to the ground, and the flower died, and all the gold threads that had been drawn from it disappeared. But the first "connection" from the young grass remains, only this time the flower reacts differently, and new gold threads reappear from the remains of the flower, and soon after, the golden web is formed again. The kite touched the branch, and the flower bloomed again.

"A connection has come to this, so what about all the 'connections'? Lo and behold. The kite waved her right hand in front of her, she could see only the golden light, and in the end, the whole event was permeated in the golden light, and if you look closely, it turned out to be countless golden threads coiled together, representing the countless meanings of the existence of all things, in the eyes of the Taoist, that is the "reason", the principle of heaven and earth.

The kite turned his head and looked at the Buddha with a smile, and said, "Master, it is meaningful to be alive. ”

The afternoon Buddha squinted his eyes, he could naturally see those golden threads, his heart was as calm as autumn water, raising his hand to spread layers of Buddha light, the Buddha light suddenly scorched the temperature, the aura of the golden thread pressed down, the afternoon Buddha smiled and said: "Everything has cause and effect, you see." ”

The kite looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw a black spot on the young grass, which was the disease caused by the reptile bite on it, and the Buddha's light immediately faded, and new golden threads extended from the young grass. The kite frowned slightly, this time, the flowers will die due to the plague infected with the young grass, and even in the entire forest, ninety percent of the grass and trees will wither, birds, beasts, insects and fish will also be affected, if the birds and beasts go elsewhere, it will also cause disasters to the new environment.

"At this time? How do you do that? The afternoon Buddha asked the kite.

The kite hesitated for a moment, and reached out to peel off the black-spotted buds and leaves of the young grass, and at this time, the gold thread changed again and developed in a good direction. After a few breaths, the black spots reappeared on the young grass, it turned out that it had been completely corroded by the disease, and disaster was inevitable. The kite paused for a few breaths and reached out to uproot the young grass, wiping out the source of the connection, so that all the disasters that followed did not happen.

After doing this, the kite looked at the afternoon Buddha and said confidently: "In this case, it is up to us to act, and let the 'truth' develop in a better direction." ”

"Is it really getting better?" The Buddha's light once again floated out of the body of the Afternoon Buddha, the golden thread withdrew, and the tender grass in the kite's hand floated into the air, and instantly became hundreds of times larger.

In the end, the kite realized that it was not the young grass that got bigger, but that she shrunk and entered the "heart" of the young grass. There was a miasma of smoke and countless evil phenomena, and the kite could feel pain and sadness deeply, which made her emotions very negative and fluctuating.

The voice of the afternoon Buddha sounded in his ears, and he said: "You only see the connection of all things, but you don't see the heart of all things, is the grass really sinful?" It is the insect that makes it sick, and in the end, the insect is born, it dies, and resentment is born in the heart of the grass. And what about bugs? ”

The kite suddenly returned to its original environment, and the young grass was still suspended in the air, and there was a flying insect in the kite's sight, and there was a black spot on its body, which was the resentment of the grass, and it was left on the body of the insect.

The voice of the Buddha sounded again, "Why don't you look at your hands?" ”

The kite immediately lowered his head and found that he had the same spot on his finger, and the kite that had obliterated the tender grass with his own hands also unconsciously accepted the grass's resentment.

The Buddha said in the light of the Buddha: "Everything has cause and effect, and if there is a cause, there must be an effect, but the bearing of the effect is not necessarily in the ontology of the cause. ”

The afternoon Buddha pointed to the flying insects, the kite looked up, and found that the flying insects ran to his partner's side, and the two insects quietly leaned together, this is, the black spot suddenly split into two, and one was transferred to the body of the new insect, and the flying insect may have been frightened, and suddenly bit his companion.

It turned out that the resentment of the grass reached the moment of bearing "fruit", and it took revenge on the other insect, but this "small fruit" caused a greater "cause", and the other insect was bitten, and it did not die, but there was an angry resentment in the heart, that is, a new "cause", which made the insect angrily harass a sparrow, and the sparrow, driven by the new "cause", chased the insect, and its mouth fell on the top of a boy's head, and the boy's eyes were pecked with a mouth. The boy planted a "great cause" in his heart, although he endured it for many years, but it was never weakened, but became more evil because of years of grievances, and finally, the boy grew up, and it took great pains to marry a crappy wife who looked at him, and the man's temper was strange, because of the blind "cause", he had to beat his wife every day, and the wife gave poison to his mother-in-law's porridge under the influence of the new "cause".

Cause and effect continued, but with the appearance of a Buddha light, all the images disappeared. Kite and Buddha stood face to face, their faces were very different, looking at each other, their hearts may be thorough, or they may have a thousand tastes.

After ten breaths, the Buddha said, "Isn't it a kind of salvation that I killed the worm and cut off the 'cause' planted by the grass?" And the grass 'cause' is too small for you, but how can you not be stained with a piece of 'cause', when it accumulates to the moment of explosion, it will naturally create a great 'effect' in you or in the things you come into contact with, and at that time, new evil 'causes' will appear, and how many innocent beings need to bear these sins for you? ”

The kite lowered his head and found that the tender grass was still pinched in his hand, and the golden thread was also derived from the tip of the grass, and the golden net was still as dazzling as before, but there was a worm flying in the net, and there were no spots on its back, but in the kite's heart, there was a trace of doubt, and the golden thread gradually became soft, and they were melted by the Buddha's light.

The Buddha took a few steps forward with a smile and said, "You only pay attention to reason, but ignore the mind and cause and effect, so you can't see the evil in yourself. If I don't kill you, when they accumulate a lot, you will create a disaster, and at that time, there will be many more innocent creatures in the world, and I am right. ”

The light of the Buddha has enveloped the kite, and the kite's hesitant heart is gradually unable to resist the sound of the Buddha floating into his heart from his ears, she doesn't know that it is the technique of the afternoon Buddha - the Bodhisattva tune.

Suddenly, a hand swept away the Buddha's light, and a whisk of dust shook in front of the kite's eyes. A figure appeared next to the two of them, and it turned out to be the Boundless Dao Leader.

The Boundless Dao Leader stood in front of the kite, smiled equally peacefully, looked at the Buddha of the Afternoon and said, "Why don't I come and talk to you about the 'truth'." ”
