Chapter 48: Sanskrit Buddhist Sutras
The bamboo curtain was lifted, and the clouds looked over, and it was the little novice who opened the door. At this time, I saw him clasp his hands together and salute: "Donor, Uncle Shi is invited." ”
Yuntian smiled and responded: "If you have work, let's go." Then he got up, patted his robe, and after straightening it, he followed the little novice out of the door to the temple.
The two walked for a while, and when they entered the temple, Yideng had already stood up, and the Tianzhu monk was still meditating on the side. Next to it stood five people, all of whom were carrying bags.
The four of them still looked not very happy, and when they saw Yuntian, they just nodded sullenly, which was regarded as a greeting. And that Qiu Qianren's expression was not at this time, and he looked preoccupied.
Yun Tian nodded to the four people, and regardless of Qiu Qianren, he came straight to Yideng, and arched his hand: "Master is leaving, let Yun Tian give you a ride." ”
"Little friends don't have to worry about it. Since you said before, you should stay here and pack up for now. Then I have to trouble you to follow my junior brothers and nephews all the way, so that they can go to Tianlong Temple safely. ”
"The master's words have tormented the boy. I will do my best to escort all the way, master rest assured!"
"Haha, so I can leave in peace. Little friend, say goodbye here!"
"Congratulations to the master!
After saying goodbye to the Tianzhu monk with a lamp, he left with Qiu Qianren, and the four people of Yuqiao and Gengyu also said goodbye to Yuntian. After Yuntian returned the salute, he saw them heading down the mountain, and turned his head to face the Tianzhu monk and the little novice.
Tianzhu monk had already opened his eyes at this time, and the Buddha beads in his hand were also withdrawn from his wrist, only to see his face **, his hands folded, bowing to Yuntian, muttering a word in his mouth, I don't know what to say.
The Tianzhu monk's voice fell, and the little novice on the side immediately bowed to Yuntian and said, "My master said that there is a labor almsgiving. However, we were going to walk through the road, so it was estimated that it would take a long time. When I came from Tenryu Temple a few years ago, I walked for three months. Shi mainly felt that it was inconvenient, so he just sent us to the bottom of the mountain. ”
Yun Tian smiled when he heard this: "You're welcome, this is what I promised before, and I should keep my promise." Moreover, Yun Tian is also a little interested in this Sanskrit, and he happened to consult the master along the way to relieve the boredom. ”
Xiao Shami repeated Yuntian's words in Sanskrit, and after listening to it, Tianzhu monk's face suddenly became suspicious, and he looked straight at Yuntian and said another paragraph.
Xiao Shami immediately explained to Yuntian: "Master asked, Sanskrit is extremely difficult, ordinary Central Plains people see it, they don't want to pay attention, I don't know why the donor is interested?"
After listening to Yuntian, although the Tianzhu monk seems to be wooden, he is actually proficient in people's hearts, and he knows that he doesn't just want to learn Sanskrit, so he has such a question.
At this point, Yun Tianxin Dao had to be sincere in dealing with this kind of person, so he said: "The kid found an ancient book before, but he felt that it was precious and abnormal, and he wanted to understand the content of the book, but it was full of Sanskrit, but he only remembered that the previous sentence was 'Sri Xing, Ang Yinad, Hahu Wen Boying', I couldn't understand it, so I said so." "It's half-true, but the look of anticipation on his face can't deceive people.
After listening to the words relayed by Xiao Shami, the monk turned a different color, then glanced at Yun Tian, lowered his head, and said a few more words.
Xiao Shami said: "It's not impossible to learn Sanskrit, but Sanskrit is extremely complicated, and it is very boring to teach, and I am afraid that you will give up halfway, which will become a sin for both of us." Moreover, at the moment, apart from carrying a few Buddhist scriptures, we have no Sanskrit texts to teach, and you are a Taoist disciple, so I am afraid that you will mind this. ”
Yun Tian smiled when he heard this: "Master don't worry, I don't have any other skills, I am very good at enduring boredom and studying hard, and I don't care about learning Buddhist scriptures, so my heart is naturally fine." Saying that, Yun Tian thought to himself, he was able to make a lot of patents at the beginning, relying not only on his smart brain, but also on his endurance to study.
Xiao Shami then relayed again, and the Tianzhu monk smiled and nodded after listening, obviously responding.
Seeing this, Yun Tian smiled and said, "So, thank you master." However, this matter will have to be put aside for the time being, and it is necessary to hurry up and clean it up for now. There wasn't much food left on the mountain, and as soon as they left, no one would bring food up, so we had to leave early. The rest of his sentence was addressed to the little novice.
Seeing this, Xiao Shami sighed and said, "It's a pity that Master and I don't know martial arts, and we can't get out here without anyone taking them, and the fields are all halfway up the mountain, so we can't get by." Otherwise, it's the same to stay here, so why go to Tianlong Temple. ”
"The little monk has a Buddha heart, it's rare!" Yun Tiandao.
"Don't be joking, let's go pack our bags. ”
"It's fine. Yun Tian laughed twice, and then bowed to the Tianzhu monk with Xiao Shami, and walked away to clean up.
In fact, Yuntian didn't have anything to clean up, mainly helping Xiao Shami, packing up a lot of clothes and books.
After a while, the two of them each carried a cage, and then closed the temple door, and took the Tianzhu monk to the front of the stone bridge, Yun Tian said "hug", and then put the two on his arms, stomped under his feet, and then gently floated up, crossing this section of the stone bridge.
Xiao Shami and Tianzhu monk Xian have been practicing Buddhism for a long time, and their hearts are determined, and they have never shown a panicked look, Yuntian secretly praised, and then his feet did not stop, and he took the two of them down the mountain.
Behind him was a pond and a house, surrounded by a mountain mist below, all year round. At this time, the last few people left, and the place finally disappeared from the world.
......
To the east of the Qinling Mountains is the Quanzhen Sect of Zhongnan Mountain, and to the west is the Shaolin of Songshan Mountain.
It was a hot summer, and most of the pedestrians on the road were dressed in thin shirts or short shirts, and they were still sweating like rain.
In front of the temple, the smoke of incense is thick, and the scorching sun makes the heat more and more rolling here, and the fog is churning more and more choking, but the pilgrims are still in an endless stream.
At this time, a man dressed as a scholar was being led to the back of the temple by the monk of the temple council.
The two walked for a while, the cigarettes dissipated, and the surrounding green trees became more and more numerous, and houses were scattered all over the place.
At this time, the scholar looked into the distance in front of him, where there was a monk, and in front of him, a middle-aged monk with a kind face.
"Uncle Shi, someone brought it. After the director monk finished speaking, he saw the middle-aged monk say, "Well, you go and get busy first", so he gave another salute, and then turned around and left.
After the scholar finished saluting, Fu turned to look at the middle-aged monk in front of him, only to see him fold his hands, nodded slightly and said, "Layman, the poor monk is polite." ”
Another salute, the scholar smiled: "Contemptible Yuntian, Lin'an Hangzhou people, the most favorite in his life to study Buddhism, long admired Shaolin Buddhist classics like smoke, this time after a long journey, finally arrived." I was fortunate enough to meet the master. ”
"Haha, I don't dare to take the word master, I heard early that there is a good man waiting outside, the poor monk is busy with affairs, and the hard donor has been waiting for a long time!" The middle-aged monk first confessed, and then asked, "I just heard the donor say that he likes to study Buddhism, and I think he has a lot of attainments, but I don't know which ones to study?"
"Yuntian did not learn much, and it was limited to the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures, which are the eight sutras of the Ranga Sutra, the Mahayana Sutra, the Huayan Sutra, the Ten Lands Sutra, the Lotus Sutra, the Amitayus Sutra, the Sutra of the Six Patriarchs, and the Amitabha Sutra. ”
"Oh, so many, and if you really know how to do it, it's really remarkable. By the way, the poor monk was busy with affairs in the past, and there was always something unclear when reciting the scriptures, so it happened that you came, so it was better to solve the confusion for the poor monk first!"
After the monk finished speaking, before Yun Tian could speak, he said all the difficult points in the above eight scriptures of Yun Tian.
Yuntian said in his heart, this monk is testing people, but it is no wonder that he said that he was seeking to read the Buddhist scriptures, so he would inevitably go to the Shaolin Scripture Pavilion.
In order to be sure, we should first test it, and if we really seek Buddhism, then we should say that it is the right thing to do.
However, fortunately, Yuntian had previously learned Sanskrit from the Tianzhu monk, and by the way, he also learned these eight Buddhist scriptures thoroughly, so at this time, the answer was like a stream, as if he really worked hard all year round to accumulate so many Buddhist principles in his heart.
The middle-aged monk asked a few times, seeing that Yun Tian was not timid, and the more he talked, the more he was engaged, he had a posture of wanting to talk to him for a few days and nights, the monk said that he was busy with affairs, this was true, and at the same time, he gradually trusted Yun Tian, because of the delay of some time, his heart was already a little anxious.
It's just that Yuntian came here, and he is proficient in Buddhism, and he is close to Shaolin, so he is not offended, so he has to accompany him for a while. It's just that this time he no longer asked, but Yuntian, his mouth was like a lotus flower blooming on his tongue, and the Buddhas were one after another, as if he wanted to talk endlessly.
The monk couldn't bear the anxiety anymore, and coughed lightly twice, and Yun Tian stopped and stopped preaching, just a puzzled look on his face.
The monk's face was full of embarrassment, and he sneered: "The donor's Dharma is profound, and it is really my Buddha who is destined to do it!" It's just that the little monk is busy with affairs, and he is not in charge at this time, but he is afraid that there will be a mess in front of the temple.
"Hey, it's fine. Or I'm tired of you!" Yun Tian looked disappointed, but he pursed the corners of his mouth tightly, obviously trying his best to hold back a smile.
"Well, let's do it, since the donor is here to study the Buddhist scriptures, it is better to go with the little monk to my Shaolin Zangjing Pavilion, which is the place where I have the most scriptures in Shaolin Temple, which will definitely satisfy the donor, and it can be regarded as an apology made by the little monk for interrupting the donor without a feeling!" The monk was a little embarrassed.
"That'...... Hey, hey, lead the way. Yun Tian sighed, with a look of pity on his face.
The middle-aged monk confessed again, and then took the lead and led Yuntian to the Shaolin Temple.
Yun Tian held back a smile all the way, and a few times he couldn't help it, coughed twice, and then caused the middle-aged monk to look back a few times with a puzzled face, Yun Tian only said that he had stayed in front of the temple for too long earlier, and some smoke was accumulated in his lungs, and it was good to cough twice.
After hearing this, the monk touched his bare head with a puzzled face, and then made another confession, which made Yun Tian even more ruthless, and coughed several times in a row.
This time, the monk's head was almost retracted into his neck, which made Yun Tian hold back so hard that when he couldn't help it, he was suddenly attracted by the scene in front of him.
At this time, the two of them had already come to the outside of the library pavilion, where there was an open space, and next to them was an old monk with a broom, slowly sweeping the fallen leaves. It's just that he takes one step at a time, quite methodical, as if measuring square inches, and the distance between each step is almost the same.
When Yun Tian saw this scene, he was a little shocked in his heart, this couldn't be the sweeping monk in the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon, right?
