After three months.

Gaocheng, the residence of the Zhu family.

In the living room, Zhu Tonghua, the head of the Zhu family, kept pacing back and forth, and looked outside the courtyard from time to time.

The reason why he was so flustered was because today was a crucial day for his eldest son, Zhu Ganglie, and even the entire family.

In Gaocheng, in addition to the Pure Land Temple, there are many gentry and wealthy families composed of blood relatives of Buddhist monks.

Among them, especially the Gao family and the Zhu family.

The Gao family and the Zhu family have always been good friends, and the descendants of their families have married for generations.

But there is no such thing as an eternal dynasty.

When the Zhu family reached the generation of Zhu Assimilation, there was no longer a foundation building Buddhist cultivation, which led to the decline of the family, and soon fell from a big family to a poor family.

But fortunately, when the Zhu family was alive, they had already taken this situation into account.

So sixteen years ago, the two elders agreed to assimilate Zhu as the eldest son and marry the unborn eldest lady of the Gao family.

Now the sixteenth year has arrived.

Zhu Tonghua's eldest son Zhu Ganglie has been 18 years, and Gao Lan, the eldest lady of the Gao family, is also 28 years old.

According to the agreement, today is the day when Zhu Ganglie went to the Gao family to propose marriage.

Once the two Zhu Gao families married, with the resources provided by the Gao family, Zhu Tonghua was completely confident that he would cultivate the foundation building period of Buddhist cultivation from the descendants of the Zhu family.

At that time, the Zhu family will definitely be able to regain its past glory.

in the hall.

Seeing that the eldest son Zhu Ganglie had not returned for a long time, Zhu Tonghua couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

He rushed to the housekeeper beside him and said, "Fu Bo, Ganglie, he shouldn't have an accident, right?" Why don't you take someone to the Zhu family to have a look? ”

"Okay."

After Fu Bo responded, he comforted: "Master, please relax, although the eldest young master is a little wooden, he has always done things safely, plus this time the Zhu Gao family got married, and it was a marriage contract made by the ancestors, so there should be no accidents." ”

Due to the middle of the family, the Zhu family now has only eight servants serving in the house.

Four of them were temporarily hired because Zhu Ganglie's wedding was imminent.

Fauber called the two of them, who were quite good-looking and could go up to the stage, and wanted to go out to find out about the situation.

But before Fu Bo could walk out of the mansion, he saw Zhu Ganglie and a group of relatives returning from outside the mansion.

Looking at the neighbors who followed Zhu Ganglie, as well as the idle sweat in the city who planned to ask for some money, Zhu Tonghua knew that most of the matter had been completed.

He smiled and said, "My son, how is the situation?" ”

Zhu Ganglie said with a spring on his face: "The Gao family has already accepted the dowry and given me Miss Gao's birthday, let us choose a good day and an auspicious day, and this thing will be done!" ”

In fact, the reason why Zhu Ganglie is so happy is not only because he was able to revitalize the family after marrying the Gao family.

What's more important is that Zhu Ganglie and the eldest lady of the Gao family are childhood sweethearts, and they have been in love with each other since childhood.

The two have been in love with each other for a long time, and their relationship is excellent.

In addition, the ancestors of both parties have already made a marriage contract, so the two have close contact on weekdays, and the parents of both sides have no objections.

Now, it can be regarded as a lover who has finally become a genus....

…

At the same time.

Takajo, the main hall of Jodoji Temple.

Mu De sat cross-legged on the main seat, looked around at the monks, and saw that the elders and disciples had arrived, so he nodded with great satisfaction.

Then, he looked at the lay disciples in the distance, frowned, and said, "On the Buddha today, why don't you see enlightenment being present?" ”

In the ranks of lay disciples.

A scholar walked out of the queue and said respectfully: "Back to the abbot, today is the day when the young master of my family and Miss Gao are engaged, and it is a marriage contract made by my ancestors, and it cannot be postponed." ”

"Good!"

Abbot Mude nodded, said no more, and said to the monks: "Then I'll start later.... This time on the Buddha, Elder Xuanzang gave a lecture. ”

"Amitabha."

Xuanzang walked out of the queue and took out a volume of "Guanyin Heart Sutra" from the storage bag, and said: "A few months ago, the poor monk once came across a scripture book in the Guanyin Monastery, and he felt it..."

After that, he recited the contents of this sutra: "When contemplating the bodhisattva of self-being, when he walks in the deep prajnaparamita..."

According to the rules of the Pure Land Temple.

After the lecture of the elders in the temple, the abbot or the respected elder will make the question, and the monks will discuss.

This is called 'On the Buddha'.

It aims to deepen the understanding of the Buddha in order to achieve a higher level of cultivation.

In the main hall.

Mu De, who wanted to solve the question, looked at the wind banner outside the hall.

He suddenly blessed his heart and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is a wind blowing outside this hall, so is it the wind that is moving, or is the flag moving?" ”

If you answer a Buddhist question like this, 'The wind blows the flag,' you will be ridiculed by everyone for not having Buddha nature.

Therefore, the question given by Abbot Mude seems to be 'the wind blows the flags', but it must not be answered so simply.

In the ranks of the monks.

A young monk with a lot of wisdom got up and said: "This is naturally the flag is moving, because 'the flag moves and knows the wind blows', if there is no wind flag, how can we know the wind moves?" ”

"Reasonable, it's indeed moving!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone praised the little monk for his wisdom.

And the abbot Mude only smiled and did not speak.

Less leaning.

Suddenly, in the second seat of the elders, Xuanzang put his hands together and said: "It is not moving, it is not moving, it is not moving, the heart of the benevolent is moving." ”

After the monks savored it, some people couldn't help but praise it.

"Good!"

"It is worthy of Elder Xuanzang, such a Buddha nature is really surprising!"

It's not hard to see.

Compared with the little monk's answer before, Xuanzang's explanation was obviously better.

After Xuanzang threw bricks and led jade, for a while, all the monks in the hall were talking about each other, discussing their own perceptions and experiences.

I have to say that this Pure Land Temple is indeed a holy place for Buddhist practitioners with a strong Buddhist atmosphere.

However, all the monks discussed and discussed, but no one could really understand the saying that 'the heart of the benevolent is moved'.

Everyone only felt that Xuanzang's answer was ingenious and deeply in line with Buddhism.

However, there is no reason for the ingenuity.

After a short silence.

Abbot Mu De looked at Su Xing, who was taking care of his own Yungong cultivation, and said in a respectful tone: "I don't know what the great monk has about 'the wind blowing the flag'?" ”

After all, Su Xing is Su Xing.

As soon as Mu De's words came out, all the monks and lay disciples in the hall moved their eyes to Su Xing.

The latter smiled, took out a short sword, drew a circle on the ground, and said, "This circle is like the universe that encompasses all things in the world. ”

？？？

The monks were stunned when they heard this, and they didn't know what Su Xing's intentions were.

After Su Xing finished drawing the circle, he drew a small circle inside it and said, "This small circle is like the birthday star where we are." ”

Su Xing continued: "All of you are able to fly with weapons during the foundation building period, and someone must have already discovered that the planet we are on is a spherical shape. ”

When Su Xing said this, the abbot of the Pure Land Temple, as well as several other elders in the foundation building period, all nodded in agreement.

Then, Su Xing drew a big circle in the 'universe' and continued: "Then if you look closely, you can find that the birthday star always revolves around the sun, so there will be day and night. ”
