Qin Kong, now a monk of Yuanxing, this person has a peaceful temperament and has always been at peace with what he encounters. But he has his own principles, and even a little obsessive-compulsive, and once he sets a goal, he will try his best to do it. Therefore, Qin Kong of the earth can be an otaku with peace of mind to make a salted fish. Blue Star's Qin Kong will also work hard to complete his studies and become a scientist. He practiced diligently and studied seriously in Tianchan Temple, and these self-disciplined behaviors were only made a monk by chance, so he would definitely be a more qualified monk.

is more qualified, this is the definition of Yuanxing himself, although the life in the monastery is rigid and hard, in the end it is still calm and comfortable, so he has grown up to this day. So, if you make it a job and treat the rules as an employee code, it's easy to accept.

There is a popular saying among the people: "Buddhism is good for practice". Practicing in Buddhism, especially in Zen Buddhism, can be said to be both simple and difficult, depending on how you approach your practice.

Let's talk about the "Qing rules and precepts" first, the so-called Qing rules are the "Baizhang Qing Rules", which must be observed by the Zen forests all over the world, and Tianchan Temple is no exception. But each place still has its own regulations, and the Tianchan Temple, which has few small people, is not so exquisite, and for so many years, I am not used to it.

The precept is one of the three Tibetans of Buddhism, and the ordination must be ordained. Taking the Mahayana bhikshu vows alone, there are 250 terrifying ones, which must be followed in theory.

Yuan Xing himself casually summed up, and there are 13 of them that you need to be punished in public and repent. Article 34 is to go to hell after death. 90 will fall into the evil path. Repent in your heart after 100 violations. There are two uncertainties, four repentances, and seven extinctions (Note: This is not made up by the author, the Buddhist rules are detailed precepts that can only be seen by monks, and it is inconvenient to elaborate here, cough!). I don't know much about it). It really doesn't matter if you talk, walk, dress and eat, if you don't pay attention, you will break the vows.

These precepts are naturally extremely important for disciples who are dedicated to Buddhahood, and breaking heavy vows not only means that they will not be able to become Buddhas, but also that they will not be able to become Buddhas, and taking light vows will lead to "minor sins" that will defile their practice, and they need to be vigilant and repentant.

Yuanxing is not, being a monk is only the best choice at that time, don't look at his chanting and chanting Buddha seriously, he has also experienced such a bizarre thing as crossing, but if he is born as a science and engineering man, how pious he is is not necessarily. In his opinion, the previous ordination ceremony was simply to fool the Buddha! It can be said that he is a real fake monk.

It should be fortunate that the Zen school to which Tianchanji belongs advocates "keeping the precepts with peace of mind, and there is no need to practice meditation when you are straight", and it is said that there have been madmen in history who scolded the Buddha for not being a thing. This made him a lot less constrained. Of course, out of professional ethics, the Ten Commandments of Buddhism still have to be observed, and he is doing well so far.

Yuanxing actually has a plan for the future, and he has traveled for a few years while he is young. If you can't walk, you will teach a few apprentices in the temple to care for the elderly, and then write a few lectures on the scriptures and pass them on, maybe you can mix the name of a high monk, and then burn a few stones when you close your eyes - no, relics, this life will be complete.

But then a series of events disrupted his plans.

In the room at night, Yuan Xing sat on the futon, holding the Buddha beads with his right hand held tightly, and asked in disbelief: "Who are you?" No, who are you? Why did it suddenly appear in my eyes? The reason why this is so is only because the four bright golden words always appear in his sight, and he can't get rid of them whether he opens or closes them. The four words are: "Hello Yuanxing".

"You just have to think about what you want to say, and you don't have to say it." There was a change in the text in front of me: "I am a merit relic made by my Buddha to help the Buddha walk." You can call me the golden cicada. ”

Feeling a little like an online chat software, Yuan Xing quickly asked in his heart: "You mean I am a Buddhist walker?" Why me? ”

"No, I always exist in your mind, you are the Buddhist walking of the destiny, and you are destined to be born as soon as you are born."

Yuan Xing was stunned, then furious, and shouted through gritted teeth in his heart: "Is it your ghost that I crossed this matter?" ”

"You on Earth have died suddenly in your sleep, and it took me a lot of merit energy to let your soul merit melt into Qin Kong in parallel time and space, this is to save your life." The text still appeared unhurriedly: "You shouldn't blame me!" ”

"Dead?" Yuan Xing sighed and thought again, "Sure enough, how did I get here?" Somehow, he wasn't as angry as he had been.

"Because the stored merits are ninety percent, they can't instill Buddhist knowledge in you, so ......"

"Is it easier to co-authorize through time and space than to instill knowledge?" Yuan Xing was stunned, in his cognition, traveling through time and space is not a simple matter, right?

"Helping you walk the heavens and worlds is my main function, and of course, it also costs a lot of merit, so I have been dormant until now."

"The Heavens and Worlds ......" Yuan Xing thought of the novel he had read: "What do you want me to do?" Also, how did I become a child? ”

"Make good karma, cut cause and effect, subdue demons and subdue demons to gain merit. There is a boulder in the mountain behind Tianchan Temple, which is the place where you often practice martial arts, and you bury something thirty steps to the west, you take it out and cultivate it into a supernatural power, and you can go back. ”

"Go back? Back to Blue Star? Yuan Xing raised his eyebrows, and was about to ask again, but the text changed before meeting.

"Turning you into a child is also the reason why I spent my merit, because your last appointment made me understand a truth, monk, you still have to start from a young age."

The sentence that appeared in front of him made Yuan Xing have the urge to vomit blood, go to your childhood, but no matter how he shouted or even cursed in his heart, the words in front of him gradually dissipated, and there was no movement.

Hearing that he could go back, Yuan Xing couldn't be patient and curious after all. Standing up, he used light skills to come to the place that Jin Cicada said, and sure enough, he dug out a wooden box. He hurried back to his room, and by the faint light of the oil lamp opened the wooden box, which contained a scroll and a booklet. Unfold the scroll, and on it is a portrait of a Buddha that he has never seen before. If you don't understand it, put it aside. I picked up the booklet again, which recorded a special Buddhist mantra, which requires you to recite this mantra in your heart and then visualize the portrait in order to practice supernatural powers, and there are notes on the experience of practitioners of the past dynasties at the back, it seems that if you want to learn the supernatural powers that Jin Cicada said, these two things are indispensable.

Speaking of going home, thinking of his parents who he hadn't seen for many years, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. In recent days, he has not even practiced martial arts, and he has been sitting in the room all day, and the senior brother and other others think that he is practicing internal skills and dare not disturb. It's a pity that I don't know if his qualifications are dull or his skills are insufficient, so he hasn't made any progress at all. Calling Jin Cicada in his heart, the other party did not react, if it weren't for the portrait still there, he thought that what happened before was just his own delusion.

After these few days, gradually, Yuanxing finally let go of his impatience and returned to his previous routine. Since supernatural powers can't be cultivated overnight, why wait?

So the question is, since there really is a Buddha, should we keep the precepts?

In the following days, other people in the temple were surprised to find that some of the usual big grinning fate lines were like a change of people, doing everything carefully, worshipping the Buddha and chanting the sutras that is called a pious, and the words have become less, even walking with a humble attitude, and the slightest mistake is a repentance. The master was greatly relieved, and felt that the little apprentice had really taken the precepts to heart and practiced hard. Only the others were made to be uncomfortable. Cough! Yes, fate is cowardly!

More than half a month has passed like this, and there is still no progress in the supernatural powers. This afternoon's routine is to visualize time, Yuan Xing sat in front of the portrait for a while, and suddenly slapped his bald head, this day is really not a human life, forget it, what is love! I can't pretend anymore, well, just pay a little attention on weekdays.

I don't know if it's a relationship between the heart, but the next visualization has a different feeling, he only feels a stream of heat rushing to his eyes, and then his eyes are dark, and he is floating in a pitch-black space in a blink of an eye, and a huge golden Buddha in front of him who can't see clearly exudes a soft light.

"What is a Buddha? What is the law? Who are you......" The voice was loud but not deafening, emanating from the Buddha statue in front of him, but it seemed to be everywhere.

Yuan Xing wanted to answer, but found that he couldn't speak at all, and there was only that question in the space, over and over again, until Yuan Xing lost consciousness at the end of the test. When he woke up again, he sadly found that he couldn't see......
