The man asked the abbot, "Aren't you sad?"

The abbot shook his head and said, "All cause and effect are already doomed, so why be sad afterwards. Besides, worshipping the Buddha is a prayer, not a gift. The Buddha sits in his heart, and if there is a painting on this wall, whether the painting is complete or not, what difference does it make?"

The man was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "Yes." ”

Then the man stopped talking, and quietly looked at the scripture in his hand—the Heart Sutra.

The abbot of the puja thought that the man would go to dinner after a while, or leave in the evening.

To his surprise, the man sat down and never got up!

He doesn't eat or drink.

Even after nightfall, they don't get up.

Seeing this scene, the little novices of the temple talked a lot.

The little novice kept approaching and secretly watched this strange scene.

"You say, how long can he sit without eating or drinking?"

"One day is the limit, isn't it?"

"I was so hungry that I didn't eat a meal, and he didn't eat or drink, but I was afraid that I wouldn't survive for three days. ”

"It's scientifically proven that you can live without food for three days, but if you don't drink water for three days, it's difficult. ”

"Perhaps, he is hungry in the middle of the night, and he will eat. ”

......

"What are you doing, are you doing nothing?" a scolding came.

A few of the little novices shrank their necks and ran away.

After the great monk reprimanded the little novice, he bowed down to the abbot of the puja beside him and said, "Abbot, this matter ......."

The abbot shook his head and said, "It's okay, if this donor wants to sit, let him sit." You go get a lamp and help him take care of ......."

When the great monk heard this, he paused for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Abbot, this black light is blinding, he obviously can't see the words on it, but he is still reading." I don't think he's putting on a show and actually doesn't even look at ......."

The abbot shook his head and said, "Go get the lamp." ”

Seeing that the abbot of the puja insisted, the great monk had no choice but to do so.

However, what made the great monk wonder was that the light bulb was pulled over, but once it came within three feet of the man, it would go out. When he moves it out, it glows, which really hurts his brain.

In the end, he could only put the light bulb three feet away to illuminate the other party.

The man didn't look at him from beginning to end, nor did he pay any attention to him, but sat there alone reading the scriptures.

He read very slowly, turning a page in an hour, which made the great monk very suspicious whether the other party was reading the scriptures or just putting on a show.

He had thought that the man would sit for a day or two and then leave.

As a result, half a month passed, and the man was still motionless.

Whenever the person finished reading a scripture, he would put it aside and close his eyes in meditation.

At this time, the abbot of the puja will send a new scripture book.

During the whole process, the two did not communicate at all......

"Abbot, is there something in that man's mind that he can't think of?" Why don't you enlighten him?" the great monk couldn't help but be curious and asked.

As a result, the abbot of the festival shook his head and said, "This person is an extraordinary person, and only he can solve the confusion he encounters. The poor monk couldn't help him, and the poor monk gave him the scriptures, hoping that the experience of the ancestors could give him a little inspiration or help. ”

The great monk said in surprise: "Abbot, can't even you enlighten him?"

The abbot shook his head, then turned and left.

On this very day, a strong wind blew and dark clouds filled the sky.

"Abbot, it's windy, I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily, don't you call that donor to come in to take shelter from the rain?" the great monk Shaoyu rushed into the abbot's room and asked.

The puja immediately got up, but before he could go out, he heard a thunderous roar.

Lightning streaked across the sky, as if tearing through the darkness, very terrifying.

People know that this is the rhythm of heavy rain.

Before the festival could pick up the umbrella, I heard a loud bang, and the rain was pouring down, and the raindrops the size of beans hit the ground, blasting the dirt directly, and the ozone produced by the thunder was scattered with the wind, and a smell of earth came to the nostrils.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, hitting the glazed tiles and crackling.

"Get an umbrella!"

The abbot of the puja ordered.

The great monk said in a few words: "Abbot, with such a heavy rain, that person won't be stupid not to hide from the rain, right? Otherwise, it's better not to go? The wind is so strong, I'm afraid the umbrella can't be opened!"

For the first time, the abbot's calm face was a little more gloomy: "Shaoyu, do you remember why the teacher gave you this Dharma name?"

Shaoyu hurriedly shut up and honestly went to get the umbrella.

As a result, as soon as I went out, the wind blew, and the umbrella almost flew out.

Fortunately, Shaoyu was strong enough, pressed the umbrella, resisted the wind, and followed the old monk Pufa to the Bodhi tree behind.

When they reached the foot of the linden tree, the two were stunned.

I saw that in the sky, the thunder flickered, like a thunder dragon across the sky!

The wind swept the dark clouds and rolled like a huge wave!

The rain was pouring down, and the ground was splashed with water droplets.

And the person under the Bodhi tree was still sitting there quietly, holding a scroll of scriptures, looking at it quietly.

Whether it's the wind or the thunder, it's as if it has nothing to do with him.

The most terrifying thing is that the wind and rain can't blow within three feet of him!

Around his body, as if there was an invisible glass shield, all the wind and rain were kept outside.

In the past, Shaoyu listened to the abbot of the Dharma meeting say that this man was not an ordinary person, and he still didn't believe it, but at this moment, he completely believed it!

Where are these people?

This TM is God!

The abbot of the puja exclaimed, "What a man of God!"

Just like that, a gust of wind blew, Shaoyu didn't catch it, and the umbrella in his hand was blown away.

The abbot of the puja stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

However, his clothes were instantly wet by the rain.

Shaoyu exclaimed, quickly helped the abbot, and took him into the house to hide from the rain.

The thunder grew louder and the lightning became more and more violent......

The sky was windy and cloudy, and the trees were rattling.

The only thing that hasn't changed is the man under the Bodhi tree and the book in his hand.

Time flies, day by day, week by week, month by month......

With an autumn wind, many leaves were blown yellow.

When there was a muffled thunder in the sky, the temperature plummeted, and the first snowflakes fell, landed in front of the man, and then dissipated.

The man slowly raised his head, looked at the sky and muttered, "Color is emptiness, emptiness is color, and all laws are born from the heart...... If I don't have the heart, what's the use of this heaven and earth? I seem to have gone the wrong way before...... So how do you break the game?"

Then the man put down the book in his hand and fell into deep thought.

This year, because a strong cold air mass in the north moved south, the whole country of Great Xia entered winter ahead of schedule.

This year has been called the coldest year in the last 20 years.

That night, the snow suddenly fell.

When it was dawn the next day, the novices looked at the snow outside the window, shouted excitedly and rushed out, and then ran back shivering from the cold. But there is still excitement on their little faces.

But someone was taken aback.
