Chapter 14: Small Gifts

The man raised his eyes and tapped the pen on her forehead, "It's Prajnaparamita, read, bo, re, not bo, luo, come again, you can't learn this sentence, you are not allowed to eat." ”

She Nunu said, "Okay, what?" ”

"Walking, Deep, General, If, Wave, Luo, Honey......"

She read it right this time, and then asked, "Brother, what does this mean, such a tongue-twister." ”

The man said in a gentle and patient voice, "Prajna means to discern wisdom, and when you do deep Prajnaparamita, it means to practice deeply with wisdom......

Then he taught her the next sentence, "See that the aggregates are empty, and overcome all suffering." ”

She read along, "What does this mean?" ”

"The five aggregates refer to the senses, receiving, thinking, acting, and knowing. In short, it is what we are exposed to, what we feel, what we think, and what we perceive and act in the world. In other words, it's the bits and pieces of our lives. ”

"And the meaning of the whole sentence, in my opinion, is that when you go deep into the cultivation with wisdom, you will find that all the sufferings, entanglements, and calamities in life are illusory, and as long as you can look at them correctly, you can overcome all the sufferings in life."

She pouted, "Then can I understand that there are some things in the world that seem to be true, maybe they are all fake, and if you don't care about yourself, there will be no suffering." ”

The man paused, hooked the corners of his lips and smiled, "Curling is smart." However, if you just care, such as love, sometimes you will feel that you seem to have changed your appearance, and you will be confused and frightened, but once you have love, it is difficult to say that you don't care if you don't care. ”

"It's also simple, put it down, it's all fake anyway."

After she finished speaking, the man stared into her eyes and smiled softly, "Then you think that your relationship with your brother is true or false?" ”

She looked at him too.

After a few seconds, she reached out and poked him hard in the jaw, feeling his resolute mandible.

"Really." She curled her eyes, "My brother and I are real. ”

He also raised his hand and pinched her cheek hard, "Then according to what you said, if you don't care about me, you don't care right away." ”

These words made her somehow feel shy in her heart.

She snorted, "Hmm! ”

After the duplicitous, she quietly glanced at him again.

Seeing that his expression was indifferent and did not change, she lowered her eyes again, stared at the scriptures in his hand, read them carefully, and pointed to a sentence and said, "Brother, these four words, are the five aggregates empty?" ”

He nodded, "Recognize?" ”

She grinned at the corners of her lips, "I recognize the words 'five' and 'empty'!" ”

Looking at her little smug appearance, the man frowned, "Wrap up, go and learn the knowledge systematically, just follow me to read and write, but I can't recognize everything." ”

"No, when you go to school, you won't be seen."

"I'm going to see you every week."

"No, I don't want to be locked up, what's the difference between this and a bird clipping its wings!"

She said, straightened up, walked around behind him, hugged him from behind, wrapped her arms around his neck, and pressed her face to his, "Brother, you don't dislike curling and have no culture, what I know now, can help you work very well, you just like that, let me be a little assistant for life." ”

"You study medicine, I help you dig herbs, you archaeology, I help you hand brushes, you read books, I ......"

The man looked back at her and smiled softly, "You? ”

"I sleep."

The man raised his hand and scratched her nose hard, "You." ”

She still hugged him and smiled, "I don't want to go to school anyway, I don't want to be a bird in a cage." ”

The man exhaled slowly, and suddenly reached into his pocket.

A few seconds later, he pulled out an open silver bracelet.

It is very exquisite, carved with lines like clouds and smoke, and red ropes are wrapped around the opening.

"I'm very good at studying today, and I'll give you a small gift." He said.
