Seven hundred and twenty-three: The deceased
Jia Jing nodded yes, and then the group walked in, this Daming Temple is really shabby, it is very dilapidated everywhere, and there are not many really open Buddha halls, but fortunately, the main hall of Medicine Buddha is still open.
Obviously, the monks of Daming Temple also know what the believers who come to burn incense and worship the Buddha are asking for......... So basically, the Buddha halls of Manjushri Bodhisattva and Medicine Buddha of the God of Wealth Temple are open, and the rest have to be closed first because they can't afford to supply sesame oil.
Daiyu and the others originally came here to pray for Lin Ruhai's blessings, so they went to worship the Medicine Buddha very devoutly.
Tan Yunxian, as a doctor, also knelt down very reverently, and then got up and stood behind to watch Daiyu and the others pay their respects.
Jia Jing watched for a while the "proud" curves of Daiyu's clothes that were revealed by the tightness of her clothes because she knelt there, and couldn't help but secretly feel guilty in her heart......... The little girl has really grown up, although there is not much change on it, but she can also see the beauty of the woman.
Jia Jing deliberately shifted his gaze to Tan Yunxian on the side, and couldn't help but step forward and said funny: "I thought you doctors would not believe this." ”
Tan Yunxian glanced at Jia Jing with a blank look in his eyes, and then said surgingly: "As long as it can relieve the suffering of people in the world, as a doctor, you should try as much as possible." ”
Jia Jing nodded knowingly and said, "I've heard of it......... Is it called Zhu Yushu? Tan Yunxian looked at Jia Jing with some surprise at this time: "Do you still know Zhu Youshu?" ”
Jia Jing smiled: "If you have heard a little, will you use it?" Tan Yunxian was silent for a moment, and then said softly: "I don't dare to use it." ”
Jia Jing was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses, talking about Yunxian They are medical women, and they belong to the wave that is discriminated against by most people, although everyone usually respects them, but in fact, they will immediately say "medicine woman" in their hearts!
This is how the medicine woman pretends to be a god and a ghost jumper, so how dare Tan Yunxian use this kind of Zhu Yushu that is very similar to the dancing god? Isn't that more confirmed his identity as a medicine woman?
Jia Jing looked at Tan Yunxian, who had a blank face, and couldn't help sighing, this girl who wants to realize her life ideals is indeed not easy to mix.........
"Second brother, come and say goodbye."
Jia Jing came back to his senses and walked over under Daiyu's beckoning, and Tan Yunxian's eyes raised his head and glanced at Jia Jing deeply.........
"What are the second brother and sister Tan talking about so happy?"
Jia Jing's hairs stood up, but when he looked at Daiyu's expression, he didn't see the taste of jealousy, and he couldn't help but say a little strangely: "I'm talking about some medical things......... Uh, what's wrong with you? ”
Daiyu was slightly stunned, and then said to Jia Jing angrily and funny: "Do I look so stingy?" ”
Jia Jing laughed dryly, why are you stingy.........
Daiyu glanced at Jia Jing, and then shared the incense on one side, and whispered to Jia Jing: "Do you really think you are a treasure?" I admire a strange woman like my sister very much, just you......... Cut! ”
Jia Jing turned his head and stared at Daiyu with wide eyes, Daiyu grinned and ignored him, Jia Jing just turned his head and thought for a moment, shrugged his shoulders, whatever you want!
Daiyu grinned and gave the incense in her hand to Jia Jing: "Go and pray for blessings, let the Medicine Buddha bless you without illness and disaster." ”
Jia Jing looked at Daiyu funny and said, "You didn't pray for me?" Daiyu's face turned red, and she said coquettishly: "Oops! Go by yourself! ”
Jia Jing smiled and got up and inserted the incense into the incense burner in front of her, and Daiyu closed her eyes and folded her hands together for a long time in prayer.
After everyone visited the Medicine Buddha for a while, they worshiped other Buddha halls, during which Jia Jing ordered people to prepare several large vats all on the ready, and then put on a few pillars of sea bowl thickness, more than one person high incense!
The sesame oil money is poured into it with a large plate of real money! In fact, according to the custom of the monks of Jia Jiazhai, the silver should have been handed over to the presiding monk, but now the presiding monk refused to see them, so Jia Jing put it directly into the merit box.
The eyes of the little monk who was looking at it were straight......... The merit box is also in disrepair, maybe the monks didn't expect that someone would really throw things into the merit box, so Jia Jing's sesame oil money even cracked the merit box!
The little monk of Shannian hurriedly put his hands together and said to Jia Jing: "Donor, donor!" Your mind has been sensed by the Buddha, presumably the Buddha will also bless you, but merit is not the amount of sesame oil money can be measured, you donate a penny, it is merit, a thousand wen is also merit, there is really no need for so much........."
Everyone laughed when they said this, even Liu Ze, who had a calm face on the side, couldn't help laughing, Jia Jing smiled and said to Shannian: "Little Master, you are still young, you don't know the benefits of this money, don't talk about ethereal things like immortals, just talk about yourself, don't you want to eat and dress well?" ”
The expression of the little monk Shannian was slightly distorted, and after opening his mouth a few times, he still said weakly: "I want to ........."
Everyone laughed when they saw this, thinking that Shannian was a child after all, but who knew that Shannian hurriedly continued: "But the host senior brother said that this is the result of my cultivation!" Greed is the normal feeling of human beings, it is the seven emotions and six desires that people will have, and the practitioner is to discern his own heart, know his own desires, and then control his desires! Cultivation is the cultivation of the mind! ”
Jia Jing has heard these words countless times, but it is the first time that Jia Jing has heard them from such a young child's mouth! And looking at the meaning, this little monk seems to understand the meaning of this sentence!
These people were all slightly surprised to look at the little monk Shannian, the little monk who looked at it with a slightly red face stretched out his hand and touched the smooth little head, and smirked.........
Mrs. Zhou sighed slowly: "Now I really want to meet this host master!" Daiyu also nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Jia Jing smiled at the little monk and said, "I wonder if the presiding master of Guibao Temple can take the time to see it?" ”
The little monk hesitated for a moment, then looked at the hour and said, "There will be a lecture on the Fa by the senior brother in a while, if you donors are interested, you can listen to it, and when the lecture is over, I will ask the senior brother if he would like to see you." ”
When Jia Jing and the others heard this, they all folded their hands and thanked them, and then the little monk led Jia Jing and others to the Buddhist hall, and as soon as they entered, the temple and the volunteers were already sitting cross-legged on the futon, and their hands were pious and waiting to preside over the master's teachings.
After Jia Jing and the others came in, they found a secluded place, and Jia Jing ordered the soldiers to form a circle, and surrounded Daiyu and Mrs. Zhou, Tan Yunxian and others in the middle.
Those monks and volunteers also took a curious look at Jia Jing and the others when they came in, and then they honestly waited for the master to preside.
After a while, I saw a young monk come out from behind the hall, also a wide monk's robe, also with various patches, but wearing a big red robe that looked like it had been washed, and his body was thin and his cheeks were thin.
Jia Jing was stunned when he saw this person, and a sense of familiarity suddenly rose in his heart, and then after thinking carefully for a long time, he was shocked!
This! This person is actually Qin Zhong, who died of his father a few years ago because he played three batches with Jia Baoyu and died of anger, and never said goodbye!
Jia Jing couldn't help but be a little stunned, Qin Zhong at this time looked a little taller than before, but he also lost a lot of weight, the whole person looked dry and thin, and his originally white and chubby face had also become weathered, and even a little more wrinkles at a young age!
Qin Zhong also seemed to be attracted to Jia Jing's gaze, and then glanced at Jia Jing deeply, didn't say much, just bowed slightly, and the believers hurriedly got up and saluted with their hands.
Then Qin Zhong got on his seat and opened a scripture that was almost torn, and after clearing his throat slightly, Qin Zhong recited and explained the scriptures softly but with a slight vicissitudes of life.
Mrs. Zhou listened attentively to Qin Zhong's explanation of the scriptures, and nodded in approval from time to time, Daiyu didn't dare to talk to Jia Jing when she saw this, and she also listened attentively to the scriptures.
Tan Yunxian originally didn't want to desert on such an occasion, but he couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, and said softly to Jia Jing: "Do you know this master?" ”
】
Jia Jing's eyes took a deep look at Qin Zhong, who was lowering his eyes on the stage and always quietly explaining the scriptures, no longer had the unbridled spirit of his previous youth, and even faintly had a bit of compassion for the Buddha nature!
Jia Jing couldn't help but sigh, and then said to Tan Yunxian: "I know......... Alas! I never expected to meet again, but it would be in such a situation! ”
Tan Yunxian couldn't help but stare at Jia Jing more curiously when he heard this, Jia Jing smiled when he saw this, and softly told Tan Yunxian the story of Qin Zhong and Jia Baoyu before.
Tan Yunxian is also a young lady, the first time she heard such an exciting thing, she suddenly had two flushes on her face, which caused Daiyu on the side to frown slightly, and glanced at Jia Jing suspiciously.........
Jia Jing and Tan Yunxian were not very interested in the Buddhist scriptures, so the two of them didn't listen, just whispered and said something, and after a long time, Qin Zhong finished speaking, and returned to the apse in the midst of everyone getting up and sending each other.
Daiyu snorted slightly and whispered to Jia Jing: "What about disrespect, if the master sees it, how bad is it?" Even if the Buddha looks at it, it is disrespectful. ”
Jia Jing smiled, bowed with his hands together and "apologized", and then Daiyu smiled and said, "What did you say to Sister Tan?" ”
Tan Yunxian looked at Jia Jing with a blank face, and Jia Jing said with a smile: "Do you see that presiding master familiar?" Daiyu blinked, she didn't meet Qin Zhong many times, so naturally she couldn't remember Qin Zhong's appearance.
And Jia Jing is also because he has a good memory, otherwise he wouldn't be able to remember Qin Zhong's appearance! At that moment, Jia Jing told Daiyu about Qin Zhong's identity, and Daiyu couldn't help but be shocked.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou asked with a slight doubt: "What?" Do you know this presiding master? Jia Jing smiled and told the story of the incident, and Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but be surprised: "This master preached so profoundly, did you never think that there would be such a thing when you were young?" ”
Jia Jing said with a smile: "I can't help but sigh at the impermanence of the world, since I saw him here, I have to catch up with him, it is best to persuade him to go back, the family property left by his son is still waiting for him to inherit, and his sister has been thinking about him." ”
Mrs. Zhou shook her head and said: "It's not good, this master seems to have undergone this great change, and he has already escaped into the empty door, I am afraid that he will look at the past of the world, you don't force it, or follow his wishes." ”
Jia Jing nodded yes, and then asked the little monk Shannian to ask to see Qin Zhong, and after the little monk went for a while, he came over and put his hands together and said: "Senior brother host, please go to the meditation room at the back of the hall to talk!" ”
Jia Jing and the others entered the meditation room behind the hall, although it was the host's room, but it was only very simple, with a table, a few futons, and a bookshelf full of Buddhist scriptures, and the rest of the decoration was nothing.
On the wall hangs a Zen character written by the first abbot of Daming Temple, plus a bed, covered with some simple bedding, which is Qin Zhong's meditation room.
As soon as everyone entered the door, Qin Zhong got up and put his hands together and recited the Buddha's name: "Amitabha!" The poor monk did not expect that he could meet his old friend thousands of miles away today, which is really a blessing to invite the heavens, Hou Ye, I haven't seen him for many years, and his demeanor is still the same. ”
Jia Jing smiled and folded his hands and said to Qin Zhong: "I didn't expect to see you here......... I didn't expect you to be like this! ”
Qin Zhong smiled slightly, then took a few steps back and stretched out his hand and said: "Our temple is simple, only coarse tea is waiting, if you don't give up, please sit down." ”
When Jia Jing and the others heard this, they each sat down, Qin Zhong picked up the tea and invited Jia Jing to drink tea, and after giving each other a favor, they each used a sip of tea, Jia Jing asked the doubts in his heart, why Qin Zhong appeared here, why did he become a monk, and where was he when Qin's father died.
Qin Zhong listened to Jia Jing talk about his past without any shame or concealment, but just listened to it vigorously, as if he was listening to someone else's story, and after listening to it, he let out a long sigh.
Then Qin Zhong told Jia Jing about his experience, it turned out that Qin Zhong had nowhere to go in a panic, but to run back to Qin's house, who expected to hear the words of the old man of the Qin family, for a while he was ashamed, and because his father was emotional and sad because of his death, he wanted to die immediately to atone for his sins!
But he didn't dare to die, so with this sadness and self-blame, Qin Zhong left the Qin family and Shenjing in despair.........
He didn't know where to go, he didn't know what to do, he just knew that he was a sinner, so he ate and waited for death to survive one day at a time!
Qin Zhong lived on the streets like this, and it was also this experience that made him taste the joys and sorrows of the world, until one day, in a broken temple, he saw a monk and a Taoist priest!
The monk was fat and big-eared, with a smile on his chest, and the Taoist priest was a clear and thin fairy wind bone, and the two seemed to be laughing at themselves and saying something they didn't understand.
Although Qin Zhong couldn't understand it, he had an obsession in his heart, that is, the strange combination of monks and monks in front of him could definitely save him from the current sea of suffering! Show yourself the way!
So Qin Zhong cried and knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, and the monk seemed to be a little surprised by Qin Zhong's actions, but after muttering words that Qin Zhong didn't understand for a while, he said to Qin Zhong: "Idiot, idiot! Although you don't have the root of wisdom, you are also within the fate, or not, or not! Now I will show you a clear way, and it can be regarded as your bad debt! ”
So he instructed Qin Zhong to go all the way north, so that he could get rid of everything now, and then disappeared, Qin Zhong opened his eyes in a trance and realized that it was a dream, but this dream was so real that Qin Zhong completely believed that he had met an immortal!
So Qin Zhong immediately decided to go north, this walk was to cross the mountains and rivers, and actually went to the side of the Liaodong Dusi! At that time, it was freezing cold, and Liaodong could freeze people to death!
So Qin Zhong, who was only wearing single clothes, couldn't walk anymore, so he lay on the side of the road, waiting for himself to be frozen to death on the side of the road, maybe it would be enough to atone for his sins!
Who knew that when he opened his eyes again, he saw a group of monks dressed in Haiqing looking at him with concern, Qin Zhong knew at that time that he had walked to Liaodong, and he almost froze to death at the gate of the Great Compassion Temple! was picked up by the monks of the Great Compassion Temple, and he took care of him and picked up a life!
Dabei Temple, the life of the monks in the temple is very simple, and it can even be said to be simple, but Qin Zhong, who is used to living a life of brocade clothes and jade food, has found a home here!
He cried and told the host of the Great Compassion Temple about his absurd life, and the host comforted him that he thought that he should not live and should apologize for his sins with death!
The host asked him to repent to the Buddha and opened a new life for him!
The monks of the Great Compassion Temple practice ascetic meditation, and the concept of this Zen is to be happy with poverty, to hone one's will through poverty and other tribulations, and to strengthen one's heart to the Buddha!
The monks of the Great Compassion Temple believe that there is a certain amount of suffering in the world, so as long as they suffer for the world, these sufferings will not fall on the heads of the world!
They touched the world with their compassionate and compassionate Buddhist feelings, and also influenced Qin Zhong!
So after learning and understanding, Qin Zhong resolutely became a monk in the Great Compassion Temple in Liaodong! Because of this, he also realized that his sins could not be atoned for by death, and he should not give up his life easily!
He wants to live, not just to atone for his sins, but to live for the sins of all the people in the world! He wants to save more people from the sea of suffering! Let more people wake up to their sins!
With this spirit, Qin Zhong began his own asceticism!
That absurd and promiscuous Qin Zhong has been left in the mundane past, frozen to death on the side of the road, and the current one is a Zen master who practices for all sentient beings......... Empty release!
