After I came to Guangzhou, the worker I taught me in the automobile factory was called Li Shilin, but he was not my resentful president. My progress in the job was not ideal, and I still didn't adapt to the transition from school to work. Fortunately, Li Shilin is very gentle, even if I am slow and make mistakes, I don't lose my temper, but I am more patient.

In a blink of an eye, the night before the break, Li Shilin asked me if I wanted to go to the group building barbecue. I naturally avoided this kind of activity, but Li Shilin insisted that I go with it. I had no choice but to find an excuse to shirk it. Seeing that I kept insisting, he didn't insist on it.

The next night, everyone else in the dormitory went back first because of a different shift than me, and I was the only one who didn't get up until noon the next day because of the late shift. Looking at the deserted house, my heart suddenly became lonely, and I couldn't see a few familiar people when I went out to eat.

With nothing to do, I came up with an idea, since I have come to Guangzhou, it is better to see the scenery of the metropolis of Guangzhou.

However, I had a hard time with where to go, and finally when I went out, I saw a circle of friends. Yunkong said that today in Xilai'an, I think it is better to look for him, and by the way, I can also see how evil Liwan Square is.

When I came to Xirai-an, my impression of the thousand-year-old temple suddenly collapsed. I originally thought that Xilai Nunnery, as an ancient temple built by Bodhidharma thousands of years ago, is now the first of the four major Buddhist jungles in Guangzhou, and it should be a very large area, magnificent atmosphere, solemn treasure, and solemn atmosphere.

But now I'm thinking too much. I didn't enter through the main entrance, and when I entered the old alley on one side, I could see that there was a cave inside, and on the left, there was a Dharma Hall. In one corner, I saw Yunkong, dressed in a yellow monk's robe, being pulled by a few pilgrims to chat.

I wouldn't have been so rude and would have just stepped forward to interrupt them. Seeing that they were chatting very excitedly, I thought that Yunkong would not be able to get out so quickly anyway, so I simply walked by myself.

First I came to the Dharma Temple, and when I came out, I walked into a side room where a Buddha statue was enshrined. Judging from my rare knowledge of Buddhism at the time, this Buddha statue should be the Jizo King Bodhisattva.

Looking at the Buddha statue, it was as if a pair of very wise eyes were looking at me. I didn't know why I felt this way, so I just muttered, "Jizo Bodhisattva." ”

A voice sounded behind him: "The Mahayana Great Collection of the Ten Rounds of the Dizang Sutra once said that it was 'as patient and immobile as the earth, and meditation was as deep as the secret hidden, so it was called the 'King of the Earth Bodhisattva'." ”

When I looked back, it was the Yunkong Master I hadn't seen for a long time. He smiled, "I thought I was wrong, I didn't expect to see you here." But I didn't say much to greet, but looked at the Buddha statue of the King of Jizo, and said, "I heard that the King of Jizo Bodhisattva once made a grand wish: hell is not empty, vow not to become a Buddha, all sentient beings are exhausted, and Bodhi is proven." If you don't live the world, you will never become a Buddha. ”

After saying that, I realized that my way of dealing with people was a bit problematic, and I was afraid that my heart would be more or less dissatisfied, but fortunately, Yunkong didn't care too much about this, but was very interested in my question about the Buddha, so he replied: "In order to save the world, the king of Jizo lived in the underworld for a long time to save the suffering people in reincarnation." ”

I don't know why I have this thought, and it's even harder to imagine that I would say, "Why do you have to be so embarrassed to be a Buddha when you can become a Buddha and an ancestor even further?" As soon as the words came out, I knew that I seemed to be speechless, and I was more worried about saying this in front of the Jizo Buddha statue.

Yunkong smiled slightly, but there was no special reaction, and said: "Everyone's pursuit is different. Maybe the Buddha also has his own troubles. ”

I was amazed, "Aren't you a believer in Buddhism?" How can you talk like that? ”

Yunkong said: "Putting aside those legends, I think that Buddha is a kind of philosophical thinking about the world. Then he looked at the Buddha statue and said slowly: "Look at the world now, which dojo is a pure holy place. Living in this turbid world, different people have different troubles and attachments, and it is good to be able to seek a comfortable peace. ”

For his words, I feel something, everyone has their own, my trouble is poverty, my attachment is to live a better life. I could hear that there seemed to be something else in Yunkong's words, so I asked, "What is your attachment?" "If I have the impression of him, this man should be calm and trouble-free.

Although Yunkong lost his parents since he was a child, he was raised by relatives and never sent people to suffer under the fence, but relied on his own mind to be like a fish in water from others, and he was admitted to a good university and fought hard for others. As for growing up, he also escaped into the empty door and was liberated from the world. My realm is low, and I really can't think of anything else that a person with his mentality can worry about and cling to. You can't just want to become a Buddha and become a monk.

In my eyes, the solution to all your worries is money.

I have always liked to play with the void and emptiness, but this time I was very honest, and pointed to the eight high-rise buildings outside like coffins: "My attachment is it, this square." ”

I remembered that Liao Lanlan told me that his parents both jumped to their deaths in Liwan Square, and after thinking about it, I couldn't help but say: "You can't let go of your parents' deaths?" ”

I asked, and followed Yunkong to the small stall next to me and sat down, listening to him tell his story.

Yunkong bought two bottles of Coke, handed me one bottle, and then opened the other bottle and took a sip before saying, "Actually, I don't have much memory of what happened before I was eight years old. ”

I asked, "Did you hit your brain and lose your memory?" ”

Yunkong said: "You have watched too many TV series and movies, but in fact, I am possessed by an evil spirit." For eight years, my body didn't belong to me. ”

When I heard this, I thought to myself expressionlessly: "I'm afraid you've watched too much of this plot in TV dramas and movies, and it's also a domestic suspense horror movie." "But this time it was very clever and didn't say it.

Yunkong looked at the eight high-rise buildings in Liwan Square outside, and said slowly: "I heard my uncle and aunt say that they took me to many places when they didn't have an accident, but none of them solved my problems. It wasn't until after my parents jumped off the building that they came to look for me and found that they had returned to normal and had normal thinking skills. ”

"Since then, I have often come to Xilai'an, hoping to find some answers in the masters. But they never told me what had happened. ”

"I know all the Buddhas, and I know all the truths, but there are some things that I don't want to think about. And one thing I also know is that if I continue to follow up on this, some cause and effect will be unbearable. ”
