Unexpectedly, Xiao Shami corrected his statement: Donor, you are wrong, you wear expensive leather shoes into the temple, even if you worship the Buddha and Bodhisattva, it is also disrespectful to the Buddha and Bodhisattva. Why do you say this, you should be clear that the leather shoes you wear on your feet, whether they are precious or not, are made of skins peeled off from animals, and animals are caught and killed, which is a very cruel thing, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Buddhas are all great enlightened beings with great compassion, and they wish that all sentient beings will be free from the sea of suffering, and you wear leather shoes into the Daxiong Treasure Hall, isn't it disrespectful to the Buddha and Bodhisattva? Even if you want to come in with shoes, you can only wear ordinary cloth shoes, understand?

The boss nodded, and he understood. He quickly took off his leather shoes, selectively picked up a pair of cloth slippers placed on the outside of the threshold and put them on, and the man also changed out of his leather shoes and put on cloth slippers, and entered the temple to worship the Buddha and Bodhisattva.

At the end, the boss threw the merit money into the merit box, and then asked the little novice, "I have a troublesome matter that I want to find the monk in the temple to enlighten me, but I wonder if it can be solved?" Xiao Shami said, you have something to ask the master Wuxin in the sutra pavilion on the west side of the temple, he will give you some guidance, whether it can be solved, I really can't say, it depends on chance.

At this moment, the boss and the man approached the threshold of the hall, took off the slippers they were wearing, put them away very respectfully, changed into their respective leather shoes, and went straight out of the hall according to the instructions of the little novice, passed through a corridor, and came to the door of the west scripture pavilion, and saw an old monk sitting inside chanting. It is estimated that he is the enlightened mage mentioned by Xiao Shami.

Since the lesson was not over yet, they could not take the liberty of entering, so the boss and the man had to wait a little longer.

After about a cup of tea, the monk's lecture stopped, and he seemed to know that someone was waiting outside the door, so he turned sideways to them and asked, "Two donors, is there anything wrong with the old man?"

The boss replied, "Excuse me, are you a Master of Enlightenment?" The monk immediately stood up and looked at him head-on, and said humbly, "The name of the old man is enlightened, but he has not realized it, and his cultivation is not enough, so he is ashamed of the word master." Speaking of this, he folded his palms and recited Amitabha Buddha respectfully, and then raised his monk's robe and invited the two to enter.

The boss walked to the threshold and saw that there were spare slippers like the threshold of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, but he still stopped, glanced at the man who came and stood beside him, and then turned his gaze to Master Wuxin, may I ask, we are both wearing leather shoes, do you have slippers to change?

You don't have to change, you can enter. Venerable Wuxin also told them that it would be better not to wear animal leather shoes in the monastery in the future, and that it would be better to wear leather shoes made of artificial leather. He also said that you may be the first time you have come to the monastery, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you do not know.

After entering the Lecture Pavilion, Master Wuxin motioned for the two of them to sit on a long bench, that is, to sit opposite Master Wuxin.

If you have something to do with the old man, you can talk about it. Master Wuxin spoke.

The boss reached out and poked the man's shoulder lightly, signaling him to endorse. The man cleared his throat and stood up a little restrained and was about to speak, but Master Wuxin asked him to sit down and speak.

When he heard the man's account of a girlfriend who was in love with the boss every time she saw the boss, her legs were sore and sore, and the longer they got along, the more sore

The boss took the booklet and looked at the title of the book marked in bold letters on the white hard-shell cover: "Anecdotes of the Nunnery"; Under the title of the book, it is written: Anonymous, so I asked, does this have anything to do with my girlfriend and me?

Venerable Wuxin said, there is a relationship, there is no relationship, there is no relationship, there is a relationship, there is a relationship, all beings are one in nature, the retribution is very different, the cause and effect are different, and the manifestations of evil obstacles are very different. It is better for the donor to read this booklet carefully, and he will understand some truth.

The boss rarely reads, and he is not in the mood to read, obviously he doesn't want to read it, and he wants to solve his own affairs in a hurry, so he lied to Master Wuxin, I will take this booklet back to read, can you teach me a way, so that when my girlfriend sees me, or no matter how long she gets along with me, her legs and feet will not be sore.

No matter where you read, after reading this booklet, the old man will answer you. Master Wuxin stated the conditions.

The boss dared to go back, there were too many mundane things, and he couldn't calm down to read this booklet at all, so he said to the man who came with him, Director Liu, we will stay in the Lotus Temple today, you read this booklet to me, I want to hear it clearly, if Master Wuxin asks some content, I still know a little, and you can add some questions that I don't know very well.

Master Wuxin said yes. Immediately lead the two of them to one of the squatter rooms facing north and south.

Standing at the door, you can see a table placed on the opposite south wall, there is a window on the table, and the window is closed, so the room is a little dark and a little mildew, obviously no one has stayed for a long time.

Venerable Wuxin walked over and opened the window sash, turning around to explain that it had been raining a lot lately and that the window needed to be closed.

The owner accosted politely, out of the way, the windows were not open. In fact, the boss thought to himself: the musty smell in this room is really bad. If I hadn't had something to find Master Wuxin, I wouldn't have come even if eight people carried a sedan chair to pick me up.

At this point, the air circulates and I feel much better. Master Wuxin looked at the two shops facing each other against the wall and said, "The two donors are sitting on the edge of the bunks!"

The boss and Director Liu standing in the middle aisle said "um" and did not sit down immediately. Director Liu flipped through the booklet as he walked, it was thick, and he said to the boss, Mr. Qin, with so many words, it is estimated that it will take several hours to read.

Master Wuxin said, yes, there are more than 23,000 words. If you read quickly, you can't go into the jungle, you can finish reading in two hours, and if you read it slowly, you can break it off, and two hours is not enough, or even three or four hours. It's getting dark now, so I suggest that the two donors stay here for the night and leave tomorrow. Mr. Qin said, it depends. He looked at Director Liu again and said, "You start reading this booklet now."

Good. Director Liu said, sat on the edge of the bed, opened the booklet and put it on the table, and was about to read "Anecdotes of the Nunnery". The bell rang in the temple, and Master Wuxin suddenly clasped his palms together and chanted, Amitabha. Two donors, when it's time for fasting, let's go to eat first!

Director Liu took a look at Mr. Qin, who looked at Master Wuxin and said, "Don't worry about the elders, after we finish reading this booklet, we will go outside the temple to make a tooth sacrifice."

By this time, the sky was getting dark, and the cries of the birds returning to the forest had become scarce. Although the windows of the squatter room were open, the light was not good. Director Liu was not in a hurry to read this booklet, and got up to catch up with Master Wuxin, who had just gone out, and said, Elder, if you can light an oil lamp, we will give you oil money and merit money.

When Master Wuxin heard this, he immediately turned around and entered the room, bent down and took out an oil lamp from under the left bunk, handed it to Director Liu, and then took out the matchbox in the monk's robe and took out a match and was about to light it. Boss Qin had already taken out a lighter from his body and lit the oil lamp.

When he saw Master Wuxin put the match back into the matchbox, he quickly took out the 300 yuan in his wallet and handed it to Master Wuxin, Elder, just take it as oil money!

Asking for so much gas money? No, no. Master Wuxin pushed Boss Qin's hand to hand over the money, and turned to leave as he spoke. Boss Qin followed and stuffed the 300 yuan into the monk's robe purse that he put back in the matchbox. Master Wuxin took out the money and handed it to Boss Qin, donor, if you really want to give charity, don't give this money to Lao Wei, you just put it in the merit box in the temple.

When Boss Qin saw Master Wuxin say this, he took the money, went out and walked towards the Daxiong Treasure Hall, took off his shoes again, changed his slippers and entered, and threw himself into the merit box in front of a row of Buddha statues. Venerable Wuxin stood outside the door, waited for him to come out, and said Donor, you'd better call the donor in the dormitory out and go to Wuguantang for dinner and fast. Lest after reading that booklet, it is not too convenient to go to the temple for supper in the middle of the night, hungry, and to go to the temple for supper.

Boss Qin followed Master Wuxin's instructions and went back to the dormitory to ask Director Liu to go to Wuguan Hall with him to fast. The so-called fasting means that the two of them drink porridge and vegetables like the monks, but they also have a taste.

After eating dinner, Boss Qin saw that Master Wuxin was not here, and together with Director Liu, he found the Lesson Pavilion with an oil lamp on. Venerable Wuxin was burning incense and preparing to chant the sutras, and when he saw the two of them coming, he asked, "Why haven't you read that booklet yet?"

Boss Qin said, Elder, if we finish reading that booklet, it must be late at night, and if I ask you about something, it will not be good to look for you again, for fear of disturbing your sleepiness. Can you tell me about the "Anecdotes of the Nunnery" booklet and my relationship with my girlfriend right now?

No, no! If you don't finish reading that booklet, the old man won't answer you. Master Wuxin said.

Boss Qin felt that there was no room for negotiation, so he planned to ask Director Liu to read it to him, and then sleep in the dormitory for one night, and wait until dawn to come to Master Wuxin to ask about things.

At this time, when I returned to the squatter room, with the faint luster of the oil lamp, Boss Qin was honest and listened to Director Liu recite "Anecdotes of the Nunnery" to him word by word:

During the Qingming Festival, ordinary people go home to worship their ancestors, hang paper on the ancestral grave mountain where they buried their ancestors, and put a whip with a cannon at the end, and then make a bow or kowtow to the ancestral tomb before leaving.

That is, on the day of the Qingming Festival, my nephew Rao Da, who had rushed back from the provincial capital in advance, went out with me to worship my ancestors, and divided the whip, incense, flower arrangement, and money into several bags and carried them to the ancestral tomb mountain.

Suddenly, Rao Da asked me, I saw that the third uncle had returned, why didn't he go with us to the ancestral tomb mountain to hang the mountain? I smiled slightly, he had to go to the nunnery every year to release the whip, and then come up to the ancestral tomb mountain.

Rao Da wants to break the sand pot pattern (ask) to the end, and asks why the third uncle went to the nunnery to release the whip, is it that any of his relatives died and was buried there? I nodded, I didn't want to say any more, because it was a matter of the older generations, especially some sensitive matters or not very honorable things, and I didn't want the younger generations to know.

Ke Rao Da was a little bit of a bull's horn, so he had to ask clearly, he asked: Which of the third uncle's relatives is buried on the nunnery.

I put my eyes on it and said, "You shouldn't know what you shouldn't know, you shouldn't ask." Maybe I've always been kind, even if I stand up with my eyes, I'm not fierce, my nephew Rao Da is not afraid of me at all, he immediately "raised the bar" with me, and said Second Uncle, if you don't tell me why the third uncle's relatives died and why they were buried on the nunnery, I won't leave. When he said this, he really stood still, and shook the bag of whips he was holding in his hand, but of course he didn't throw them off.

I thought to myself: it wouldn't be a big deal to tell him about it, so I compromised. I said, "There are still a few mountains to cross to the ancestral tomb mountain, so you can walk slowly!" I'll take my time!

Second uncle, I'm listening. Maybe you can get inspiration from listening to this story. Raoda became excited again, and used his words to dispel my concerns.

After I sighed for a while, I told him, I told you, don't spread the word, and don't let the third uncle know that I told you about this incident that happened to your ancestors. As my nephew said a few good words, I shook out what I had heard, and the unpleasant past that our family all knew—

The third uncle's father, Rao Banghui, married his wife Hu Huaiying in his early years, but for some reason, he has never had children. In middle age, the Rao Gang panicked, so he hurriedly married the second room bear to enjoy the flowers, and soon her belly pried up, like a meritorious man dangling in front of the eyes of the Rao family, Hu Huaiying was very jealous, after she gave birth to a child, she said to the Rao Gang, your wish has been achieved, the inheritance of the incense has, now there are people, the family is big, the burden is heavy, I see the flowers to be sold! You can also get a sum of money.

Unexpectedly, the Rao Gang would not agree, so Hu Huaiying endured it. The next year, Xiong Yuehua's belly grew again, and he gave birth to a son. Hu Huaiying sprinkled and clamored not to let Xiong enjoy the flowers and sleep with the Rao Gang. After all, the Rao Gang is a man, he doesn't quarrel with you, he doesn't listen to you, he likes bears to enjoy flowers in his heart, but he doesn't like you, a hen who eats for nothing and doesn't lay eggs.

Of course, in the days to come, he will still be close to the bear to enjoy the flowers, but he will alienate Hu Huaiying. Hu Huaiying has no way, and she has no way to take her husband, so she wants to take revenge on Xiong for enjoying the flowers. But there was no chance.
