Chapter 104: Unyielding (Four Changes)
"So! It is better to ask God than to yourself. Hong Lianshuo hooked the corners of his lips and smiled slightly, "In mythological stories: the sky is broken, and you can refine stones to make up for it." ”
"Nuwa makes up for the sky." Lin Nanzheng looked at her with bright eyes and said.
"The flood was raging, and without asking the prophets, they dug their own canals to dredge them. Dayu controls the water! Hong Lianshuo looked at them with a smile on the corner of his mouth and said, "The disease is epidemic, don't ask for miracles, try the medicine yourself and cure it yourself."
"Shennong tastes a hundred herbs." Han Baohu echoed with a smile.
"If you drown in the East China Sea, fill in the East China Sea, and if you are exposed to the sun, you will shoot the sun down." Hong Lianshuo's bright eyes looked at them and said again.
"Jingwei reclamation, Houyi shoots the sun, I've heard of this." Jiang Shuisheng said with a smile.
"Between the heavens and the earth where the axe splits, there are people everywhere who are unwilling to submit and become slaves." Hong Lianshuo's dark eyes looked at them and said.
"Then there are so many people who pray to God and worship Buddha." Chen Zhongyuan walked over with a straw mat, spread the straw mat on the ground, sat cross-legged, and began to cut wood with a dagger in his hand.
"Because what I can't get in reality, I have to ask for an ethereal god." Hong Lianshuo clasped his hands together and said reverently, "The Buddha Lord often recites on his lips, and fame and fortune always stay in his heart." ”
Against the backdrop of the bonfire, Hong Niangzi looks really solemn and holy!
"Ahem......" Chen Zhongyuan almost didn't cut his hands.
"You'd better put the dagger down!" Hong Lianshuo looked at him softly and said, "Am I so surprised?" ”
"That's a Buddha!" Sixi said with a frightened face, "You can't blaspheme." He knelt directly on the ground and said in fear, "Don't blame the Buddha!" Blame me. ”
"Get up, get up." Hong Lianshuo looked at Sixi with a calm gaze and said, "I don't believe in it, I don't believe in Buddhism." Looking at Chen Zhongyuan, "Fu Si is happy." ”
"Oh!" Chen Zhongyuan hurriedly pulled Sixi up, "Obedient." ”
Sixi knelt directly on the straw mat, so he couldn't say anything more!
"You! What do you mean to blame, am I such a responsible person? Hong Lianshuo said angrily.
"Why don't you believe it?" Sixi scratched his head and said curiously.
"Why should I believe it!" Hong Lianshuo's clear eyes looked at him and asked rhetorically.
"This ...... That ......" Sixi scratched his ears and looked at her and said, "Everyone believes it!" ”
Hong Lianshuo looked at him amusedly and said, "Then what did you ask for?" ”
"Eat and clothe yourself and don't starve." Sixi blurted out, grabbed the hem of his clothes and said, "When my parents were dying, they begged him not to take them away, and begged him to make me rich." ”
"Did that happen?" Hong Lianshuo looked at him with a smile in his eyebrows and said for a long time.
"Nope!" Sixi hung his head and said in frustration, then suddenly raised his head again and said, "That's my insincerity, my sins in my previous life, let me suffer in this life, and atone for my sins in the next life." ”
"Uh-huh! Great monk, no, it shouldn't be said that the master said the same thing about me. ”
"The afterlife will be fine."
The others nodded their heads as well, "That's what the master said. ”
"That's because you gave less money for incense." Hong Lianshuo puffed out his cheeks and said angrily, "You have been deceived. ”
"How can the impossible master deceive people?"
"I don't believe it."
"How much money do you give for incense?" Hong Lianshuo looked at them who were excited and indignant.
"We don't have any money!" Sixi said aggrievedly, "It's just that the only money I have has has been given to the master." ”
"But you should also know that the scholars also have offerings in the temple!" Hong Lianshuo's deep and bottomless black eyes looked at them and said, seeing them nodding, his eyes fell on Han Baohu and them, and said, "You ask them how much they worship?" ”
"Uh......" Han Baohu's eyes wandered, and finally said, "Twenty taels at the least, hundreds of taels at the most, and a thousand taels if you reshape the golden body." ”
"How much?" Sixi's eyes almost didn't fall out of their sockets.
"Don't you get excited?" Hong Lianshuo looked at Sixi soothingly and said, "Let's first ask General Han if what he asked for has been done?" ”
"Some of them were done, some of them didn't, and before my father died in battle, I begged all the temples." Han Baohu said bitterly, "It's useless. ”
"Of course it was useless, at that time the emperor let General Han die. It can be used for a fart. Lin Nanzheng snorted coldly, "It's useless to ask anyone!" ”
"Ahh There was an uproar.
Han Baohu was mixed in his heart, "Okay, don't talk about this, anyway, it's useless to pray to God and worship Buddha." ”
"Do you feel anything?" Hong Lianshuo's eyes swept over them one by one, looked at them encouragingly, and said, "What do you say boldly?" ”
"Why do I think that this Buddha also divides the people who pray to God and worship the Buddha into three, six, nine and so on!"
"It's like whoever gives more money for incense will be successful!"
"Let's ask for money, it seems that the scholars are not short of money!"
"Isn't this Buddhist family talking about the six roots of purity?"
"Why are you still so greedy for money!"
"Isn't Buddhism talking about universalizing all sentient beings, and all sentient beings are equal, isn't it?"
"Why do I feel unequal!"
Hong Lianshuo looked at them with a smile on his face, "Listen to it, it's not a taste, I understand it very well." ”
When Lin Nanzheng heard this, he hurriedly said, "This entry into the red dust is for cultivation, for saving the world, and for saving suffering!" ”
"Save the world!" Hong Lianshuo smiled slightly, and looked at Lin Nanzheng with a long voice, this smile made Lin Nanzheng feel his scalp tingle.
Hong Lianshuo's clear eyes looked at them and said slowly, "Buddhism is built in the world, and people are the basis for learning Buddhism. If a person wants to learn Buddhism, he must first do a good job. How to be a good person, then we must get rid of selfishness internally, and practice benevolence, righteousness, wisdom and faith externally. You should not do things that harm others and benefit yourself, and you should not do things that harm others and benefit yourself. Buddhism focuses on the spirit of entering the world and the spirit of birth, based on the wisdom of Prajna, recognizing the causal relationship between the cycle of life and death, and cutting off the source of reincarnation. And the spirit of salvation, that is, the spirit of great compassion, is unconditional, ultra-rational, ultra-emotional, and would rather go to hell than emotional impulses in order to relieve the suffering of others. Harm oneself and benefit others, and have no desire to reward. ”
Hong Lianshuo looked at the ignorant Sixi and said bluntly, "In other words: you shouldn't collect money, and you shouldn't use it as a tool to collect money." Any god or Buddha who reaches out to you to ask for money is a cult! ”
"People can say that Buddha is destined to be a person." Lin Nanzheng said unconvinced.
"Oh!" Hong Lianshuo's clear eyes danced with golden flames, "The Buddha does not cross me, I cross myself, not for the other shore but for the sea!" ”
"Self-ferry?" Han Baohu looked at her lightly and said, "You don't even understand Buddhism, how can you cross yourself?" Joke. ”
"There is a Buddha in my heart, and there is Bodhi everywhere!" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with bright eyes and said.
"What do you mean?" Sixi pulled, pulled his head.
