It is said that Li woke up from a sweet dream, opened his eyes and looked at the baby son beside him, he was really dumb and entered the cave room, and he was indescribably happy in his heart.

But Lu Xingyao was half happy and half worried.

He forced a smile and brought the hot meal to Li: "Madam, please eat!" ”

Although Lu Xingyu was quite good at pretending and showing joy in front of the Li family, the smart and careful Li family also noticed that his expression was different, and he seemed to have a bitter feeling in his heart.

After Mrs. Li's repeated questioning, Lu Xingyu had to tell the truth of the matter.

When Li Shi heard this, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and his brain buzzed and he fainted.

Lu Xingyu was so frightened that he shouted, "Madame, wake up!" Madame, wake up! ”

Over the years, Li's chanting and worshipping the Buddha has been in order to ask for a son to retire and continue to use cigarettes, but she never expected that her son would be a Buddhist in the future, which really made her unable to accept this fact.

Don't look at her worshipping the Buddha and believing in the Buddha for many years, but she doesn't understand the Buddha's teachings to break through delusional attachments, and she doesn't understand the true teachings of Buddhism.

There are several types of Buddhists in the world:

One is that a person who believes in Buddhism only believes that the truth of the Buddha is very good, but he cannot do it himself, and he cannot practice deeply.

The second is that people who seek Buddha, for some things, go to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and take some banana fruits to bribe the Buddha and Bodhisattva. Burn incense, make offerings, ask the Buddha and Bodhisattva to bless good health, get promoted and wealthy, find a job, be safe and smooth, and so on.

In fact, this kind of person belongs to superstition rather than wisdom.

You have to follow the teachings of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, change your ways, and make selfless contributions, and you don't ask for it; If you can't do it and you want it, it's impossible.

It's like if you don't plant in the spring, don't weed in the summer, and want to wait for a bumper harvest in the fall, how can there be such a cheap thing!

The third is a person who studies Buddhism, he not only believes in Buddhism, but also can do it as it is, and can learn the compassion, perseverance, courage, and joy of Buddhism.

During the period when Buddhism was flourishing, there were many people who really studied Buddhism, but in the period when Buddhism was declining, there were few people who really studied Buddhism, and there were many people who studied Buddhism falsely, and many people who sought Buddhahood.

But there are also those who really study Buddhism.

The benevolent elders who are committed to peace education behave like Shakyamuni Buddha in the past, not seeking happiness for themselves, but wishing for the liberation of all sentient beings from suffering.

They not only love their motherland and compatriots, but also love the world's human beings, and vigorously advocate the harmony of the universe and the world as one family.

Over the past few decades, they have tirelessly traveled around the world to spread the Dharma and benefit people, benefiting people a lot, and have also won the respect of many national leaders and the love of the people.

Their compassionate ambitions are unparalleled, and they are people who are true learners of Buddhism, who put the teachings of the Buddha into practice in real life.

It's a pity that how many of the sentient beings in this end-of-Dharma period can do this?

Lee's attachment to his son, then, is understandable.

Lu Xingyu saw that Mrs. Li's face was pale, and she wanted to cry without tears, knowing that she was extremely sad, so she hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her: "Madam, don't be sad, take care of your body, you still need us to raise your son." Besides, the world is unpredictable, and what he will do in the future is not certain, so why should you take the monk's words as true? Think about it, if our son really becomes a monk in the future, it will also be providential, who can give birth to a child who can fill the room with millilight and the fragrance of the house? If my son can really be a monk in the future, surpass the ancestors of the past generations, and educate the public, then my husband and wife will not raise children in vain, and it is also our glory! ”

Everyone, listen to what Lu Xingyan said.

These words of deep righteousness were not in his heart, and if he really thought so, he would not have been bitter and sorrowful before, and he would not have denied the name of Huineng.

Why doesn't Lu Xingyao want his son to follow the path of ordinary people, start a family, and pass on the lineage? He said this only to comfort Lee.

Don't say it, after Lu Xingyao's patient comfort and persuasion, the Li family really stopped his sadness.

When the couple arrived at this time, they really were: neither joy, nor sorrow, neither happiness, nor crying, that mixed feelings, I can't tell what it feels like.

……

The couple cherished Huineng in every way and cared for him in every way, but they were really scared in their heads, afraid of pressing in their chests, and afraid of melting in their mouths.

People in different moods also have different feelings about time, some people often feel that time is like an arrow and passes too quickly, while some people feel that time is like a year and passes too slowly.

Lu Xingyu and his wife worked hard to raise Huineng, survived day after day, month after month, and finally survived two spring and autumn periods, looking forward to Huineng being two years old, and seeing that Huineng was strong and healthy, they put down their hearts.

When Huineng struggled to shout the first "Dad", Lu Xingyu was happy to exchange tears, and hugged Huineng: "Neng'er, I am finally looking forward to this day for my father, and I am looking forward to the day when my biological son calls me Daddy." ”

Lu Xingyu was happy to see his son growing up.

Since Lu Xingyan was demoted, he often hated the darkness of officialdom and the injustice of the world.

And because he has no children under his knees, he has always been looking forward to it day and night for 20 years, and he is depressed. After the birth of his son, he met the strange old monk who came to the door to give him a name, telling him that his son would be a member of the Buddhist sect in the future, which made him frightened.

Coupled with being in a desolate foreign land, loneliness and unadaptability to the surrounding environment and climate, he was physically and mentally exhausted, riddled with diseases, and in recent days, he gradually felt that his body was difficult to support.

Li Shi was busy asking Lang Zhong for him to treat him with medicine.

Day after day, Lu Xingyao's condition did not improve.

Li only received medical treatment and spent all the family's meager savings, but Lu Xingyan's condition still did not improve.

There was no choice, so Li had no choice but to sell his land and property to treat her husband's illness.

Although Lu Xingyu has been an official, he is a Qing official, not rich, and he came here with a degraded official, and he brought not much silver, and he also prepared land. Now he saw that his wife had sold the little land he had in order to cure his illness, and he was very sad.

As the saying goes: don't be sick if you have something, don't be short of money if you lack something. But Lu Xingyan is the opposite, he is sick and lacks money, and he is really in a difficult situation.

"Madam, the Buddha is difficult to get rid of sentient beings, and doctors are difficult to treat people who are dying, I have run out of oil and lamps, and there is no medicine to cure, you don't want to waste money for me anymore, if this only little bit of property is also exhausted, after I die, how can you and Neng'er survive?" Lu Xingyan looked at Li sadly and said helplessly.

Li Shi waved his hand and said to Lu Xingyan, "Husband, don't say those unlucky words......

Lu Xingyu sadly took Li's hands, panted, as if explaining the aftermath, and said: "I can't pull Neng'er up, I can't raise Neng'er as an adult, I can't continue to love him, and I can't continue to teach him to read and write, I'm already very sorry for him." If you want to think of the love between our husband and wife, listen to my advice, stop wasting money for me, and use this money to raise my son. He is the only flesh and blood of my Lu family, the only hope, no matter how you want to pull him up, don't let him suffer and suffer. Lu Xingyu knew that he had run out of oil, so he said bitterly, and said that he would not let the Li family give him any more medical medicine.

"Don't worry, husband, I will take good care of Neng'er, but I want to treat you even more, even if I smash pots and sell iron, begging from door to door, I will also cure your illness and let our Neng'er parents have both. You have just begun to teach Neng'er to read and write, I want you to teach Neng'er well, and pass on what you have learned in your life to Neng'er, so that our Neng'er will also gain fame and glory in the future. When Li said this, he looked at Lu Xingyu affectionately, "Besides, you and I are dependent on each other, why don't you cure your illness, how can I feel at ease and live alone in the world?" ”

Lu Xingyu listened to his wife's heartfelt words, and he was really moved and painful: "Mrs. said this......

Seeing that Lu Xingyu said nothing and refused to delay the medicine, Li was very painful, and hurriedly called Xiao Huineng: "Neng'er, quickly ask your father to drink the medicine." ”

When Xiao Hui heard this, she walked to Lu Xingyao's bed very sensibly and said, "Daddy drinks medicine, Daddy drinks medicine, and if you drink medicine, Daddy's illness will be cured!" ”
