Chapter 19 Look at the world with your heart

"Donor, since you want to come to live in our Great Compassion Temple in the future, then you can tell you about our two careers here, and see how you choose. ”

"Oh, you say, I'll listen!!" the young man nodded, and began to listen intently to the little monk's words.

Seeing that the young man was so serious, the little monk couldn't help but become serious, he pretended to be a high-ranking monk, coughed, and said: "We have two professions here, one is a literary monk and the other is a warrior monk, I don't know which one you want to choose." ”

"These two and that are good?" There is no one who is unwilling to choose a good one, and the same is true for the boy, although there is no memory of himself, but this does not mean that he is stupid.

When the little monk heard this, he smiled and said, "Donor, there is no good or bad between the two, it can only be said that it varies from person to person, and each has its own preferences." ”

The young man didn't understand, she shook her head blankly, and said, "Can you make it clear, I didn't understand." ”

"Forget it, let me tell you this, the so-called individuality is to know what you are good at and what you like. ”

"The difference between the essence of a monk and a warrior monk is that one uses the brain, the other uses the body, and the main work of the monk is to study the profound truth of our Buddhism, which is used to propagate our thoughts in the future, so this requires the monk to be patient and endure hardships, and can chant the scriptures in the room day after day. ”

The reason for the creation of the warrior monk is for those who are stupid, as the so-called many times, everyone is good at the different, some people are stupid or impatient, really can't be a monk, so the choice of warrior monk is undoubtedly a way out for them to play another specialty. ”

"In fact, listen to what the donor said, I can only say to see what you are suitable for, if you are smart and patient, you can choose a monk, if you really don't like to chant all day long, you can choose a happy monk, of course, I personally think it is better to be a monk, to know the Tao, the role of a monk is equivalent to a general, and the monk is powerful at best but a soldier. ”

The words of the little monk have been understood a lot by the boys, in fact, it is more popular, that is, the monk and the warrior monk are compared to the liberal arts and sciences for learning, if you are not good at the brain, you can choose the liberal arts, if you have a good brain but are not willing to write words, you can choose the science.

The same is true for warrior monks and monks, who are created for those who can comprehend great truths, and warrior monks for those who are stupid but physically strong.

The young man lowered his head and was silent for a while, he was a little hesitant, not knowing whether Lu Dao would choose a literary monk or a warrior monk.

Seeing him so hesitant, the little monk immediately reminded: "Donor, give you a piece of advice, don't think that it is a painful thing to recite scriptures in the room every day, when you become a warrior monk, you will find out how beautiful it is to recite scriptures in the room." ”

The original meaning of the little monk's words is actually equivalent to one in our school to take physical education classes and one to take cultural classes.

You may get bored of listening to the teacher's boring lectures in a culture class, but when you finish your physical education class, you will realize how wonderful it is to have a class in your room.

When the young man heard this, he immediately felt that it made sense, but he was still reluctant to choose the monk, because he felt that he had no patience, and if he stayed in the room all day, he might go crazy, compared to him, he would rather sweat happily.

So, the young man suddenly left a firm expression and said, "I have decided, I want to be a warrior monk." ”

When the little monk heard this, he was stunned, in fact, he already believed in his heart that the young man would definitely choose a monk, the young man looked very smart, and he was definitely not the kind of stupid rough person, so it was absolutely possible to comprehend the truth and write and read words, but he never thought that he would choose to be a monk without hesitation.

After a few seconds of delay, the little monk sighed and said, "Okay, every choice is different from person to person, maybe you don't like chanting and writing every day." ”

When the young man heard this, he smiled and didn't say anything, but the little monk was a little frustrated, he thought that this young man would become his junior brother, and he could show off to others that he had a junior, but he didn't expect it!!

"Let's go, I'll take you to find the warrior monk's senior brothers. The little monk snapped his fingers and walked with the boy to the location of the warrior monk.

Along the way, the boy who has lost his memory seems to be like a baby, curiously observing everywhere, full of curiosity about the ancient buildings.

Suddenly, passing by a small house, the boy suddenly stopped and refused to go any further.

The little monk noticed that the young man behind him was not leaving, and couldn't help but ask strangely, "Why don't you leave?" ”

The young man pointed to the small temple next to him and said curiously, "Where is this, how do I feel that this place is so strange." ”

When the little monk heard this, he raised his eyebrows lightly, looked at the young man's hand, smiled, and said, "Donor, this is the Dharma Ancestral Hall." ”

"What? Why did you come up with a name, it's called the Big Aunt Temple? Is there an Uncle Temple!!!!!" When the young man heard this, he immediately burst into laughter, holding his stomach and laughing.

When the little monk heard this, his head suddenly turned black, and he said slightly angrily: "It's the Dharma Temple, the Dharma of the Buddhist martial arts patriarch, not the aunt!!"

Bodhidharma suddenly heard that he would hear that the aunt, and the boy's misunderstanding was inevitable, but when he learned that what the little monk said was Damour, the young man asked curiously: "Who is Damour?"

This question almost made the little monk fall, and he said angrily: "Dharma, don't you know the way, what have you been doing for so long?" ”

The boy scratched his head in embarrassment and said honestly, "I have amnesia." ”

"Amazing amnesia? You don't even know the way of Bodhidharma, I despise you!!!" "In the Celestial Empire, if you don't even know Mao Zedong, the friends around you will definitely despise you, in the Buddhist temple, you don't even know the way of Bodhidharma, how can the little monk not despise you."

"Don't make a fuss, let's go, I still want to meet my warrior monk brother." Seeing the little monk's very joyful contempt, the young man had no choice but to smile helplessly, and pulled him away with a shout.

After a while, the young man and the little monk came to the wide martial arts training ground, and on the martial arts training ground, there were more than 20 big men with tigers and bears on their backs where they competed.

A tall man is really very strong, his arms are thick enough to catch up with other people's thighs, without exception, they are all shiny big bald heads, under the scorching sun, the big bald heads are very shiny, and from time to time they are dazzling and dare not look directly.

It is worthy of a warrior monk, although there are only twenty people, but their aura is very strong, with their tall and formidable figures, no one dares to bully you at any station.

The little monk came here with the young man, pointed to the more than twenty people not far ahead, and said with a smile: "Donor, this is your future senior brother." ”

When the young man heard this, he frowned and said, "Are these these? ”

The little monk shook his head and said, "It's all here." ”

When the young man heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, he stared at the little monk fiercely with wide bull's eyes, and said slightly angrily: "You won't tell me that these twenty or so people are all the warrior monks in your temple." ”

"Yes, what's the problem?" When he saw more than twenty warrior monks, the young man's reaction seemed to be a little excited, and in the face of his question, the little monk replied truthfully.

When the young man heard this, he laughed angrily, and shouted angrily: "It's a big problem, your temple is so big, are there only about 20 warrior monks?"

How big is the Great Compassion Temple, equivalent to the Forbidden City of the Forbidden City in the capital, how big do you say, tens of thousands of people, or even more than 100,000 people can live here, and now the little monk told the young man that there are only more than 20 warrior monks in the entire temple, and you say funny is not funny.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, I'll explain it to you and you'll understand. The little monk hurriedly began to explain, the young man was very angry in his heart, in fact, a large part of the reason why he wanted to be a warrior monk was to hope to be lively, if there were hundreds or even thousands of people, he would have a lot of friends, even if he worked hard and tired, he would be very happy.

But now there are twenty people, how good is this, it is not lively at all, it is not interesting at all, and even in the future, if he doesn't even have a friend, he will be isolated.

"Let me ask you, why is there only about 20 warrior monks in such a big temple, is it possible that there are so few people in your temple?" If you really want to explain, you can only say that there are very few people in the temple, so there are very few people who are warrior monks, but this is very contradictory.

Have you ever thought that tens of thousands of people can run around such a large temple, why there are so few people? If the number of people is small, there is no need to build such a huge temple, and it is completely possible to build a smaller one.

The little monk shook his head and sighed and said: "The child has no mother, it's a long story, in fact, all this is not what you think, in our heyday, there are more than 10,000 monks in our temple, just get up early every day to run, the footsteps can shake like an earthquake." ”

"What are there now only twenty people, where have the others gone, dead?" the young man looked at the little monk puzzled.

The little monk shook his head with a wry smile and said, "No, they are not dead, but they have all settled in the city, and some even have children, how can they come back?"

"Oh, it's not that you monks don't allow you to get married, so what does it mean for them to get married? I heard you say that, you still seem to allow it. ”

"Well, let me tell you the reason from the beginning, the twenty or so people you see now are from this year, they are like schools, they are divided into several sessions, and after reaching a certain condition, they will graduate, as for where to go, I will talk later. ”

"The specifications of each warrior monk are eighteen Arhats, which is equivalent to a class of eighteen Arhats, but you also know that there are so few people now, and they have long been indistinguished. ”

"You warrior monks have a rule, that is, when you are 20 years old, you have to go to the society to wander around, and then come back, of course, our Buddha is very humane, if you are fascinated by the red dust of the mortal world, then you can choose to return to the vulgar, if you choose to come back, it means that you have really seen through the red dust, and you are not far from our Buddha heart. "As for why you have to go to the red dust to hone in order to learn anything, it is because only in this way will you really see through the red dust, not with the naked eye, but with the heart eye. ”

"Most of the returning warrior monks have now become elders or abbots in the temple, I once asked a returning elder, why did you come back, and why didn't the senior brother who walked out of the temple with you come back, at that time the elder had to say with a wry smile, being tied by the red dust and temptation, and I also asked, then how did you see through the red dust? The elder only replied, looking at this world with his heart and eyes. ”

Shao You frowned and asked incomprehensibly: "In that case, why don't you skip this step, why do you have to let people go to the red dust to hone it?" ”

The little monk touched the imaginary beard and smiled, saying, "Although I don't understand it, I heard my master say that you are called ascetics, and after you taste the bitter fruits of all kinds of things in the world, then you will not observe this world with your naked eyes, but with your heart's eyes." ”

The boy asked, "Heart's eye?"

"Yes, there are a lot of unfairness in our human society, for example, if I have money, I have the right to do whatever I want, thinking about what to play today and what to eat tomorrow every day, while some people who have no money and no power are just worrying about their three meals per person.

When you go from poverty to wealth, from wealth to poverty, at that time, you will find that this world that you used to be confused in will be extremely clear, because at that time you are no longer looking at this world with your naked eyes, but with your heart. ”

After listening to the little monk's teachings, the young man replied, "I still don't understand much."

The little monk smiled and said, "You will understand later." ”

The young man thought of a question again, so he asked the little monk and said, "For example, if you go out and go to about 100 people, how many people will generally come back?" ”

The little monk smiled bitterly and said, "It's not bad to have one person." ”

The young man was taken aback, and it would be good to have one out of 100 people, and said, "What is this for?"

The little monk shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Surrounded by those red dust in the world, dominated by desire, greed, power, etc., forget it to tell you that you don't understand, let me introduce you to your future senior brother."

He ran over with a smoke, and the boy had no choice but to run with him.
