Chapter 8: Jiang Liuer's Life Story (2)
Miss Yin gave birth to this child, and she was indeed a blessed person, but she was actually the tenth reincarnation of the golden cicada, shouldering the heavy responsibility of learning the scriptures of the Buddha. There is a temple in Jiangzhou called Jinshan Temple, and the plank floats to the foot of Jinshan Temple, and it does not move. The abbot of Jinshan Temple, Faming Zen Master, has cultivated true enlightenment and has achieved a small success. On this day, I was meditating and meditating, and suddenly I heard a baby crying, my heart moved, and I came to the river to watch, and saw a baby sleeping on the wooden board, and the elder hurriedly rescued it, and saw that there was a blood book in the baby's arms, and after reading it, I knew the origin of the child, so I collected the blood book, and gave the child a milk named Jiangliu, and entrusted it to be raised, and four or five years later, I received it to the temple, took it with me, and taught him to read and read the scriptures.
Time is like an arrow, that Jiang Liu'er is ten years old, the elders teach him the scriptures, he can learn it, and he helps the elders run errands and pass the message in the temple on weekdays, do some chores, very well-behaved, Elder Fa Ming saw that this child was smart and diligent, and he liked it more and more.
At this time, everyone in the Buddhist sect knew that there was a red-eyed Nyolai in the West Heaven, and the red-eyed Nyolai claimed that as long as it was beneficial to the Buddha, it could be done, as long as it could magnify Buddhism, it was meritorious, and Elder Faming denounced it as a heresy, but this statement bewitched many people, including Elder Faming's two junior disciples.
Jinshan Temple is very large, there are hundreds of monks, the two junior disciples of Elder Fa Ming, called Fa Neng and Fa Kong, these two people have no interest in chanting and chanting Buddha, all they think about all day long is to steal some wine and meat, hook up with a few women who are not careful, or do a little money to be a good man and a woman, and have been taught a few times by Elder Fa Ming, these two people not only do not want to repent, but have resentment.
Ancient people often rely on the sky to eat, this year Jiangzhou encountered a flood again, many people were displaced, because the Jinshan Temple incense is vigorous, some savings, the elder ordered people to set up a pot in front of the temple, cook porridge and boil vegetables to help the victims. When this Dharma energy and Fakong saw it, they were reluctant to do so, so they came to the elder and said:
"Senior brother, now in the year of the catastrophe, you have given all this grain and rice to the victims, what will we eat?"
Zen Master Fa Ming said: "The money and grain and rice in this temple are mostly good men and women who give alms, and now there is a flood, and it is also appropriate to take it out to save people, if the food is not enough to eat, it is a big deal to eat a little less, how can people in Buddhism not save when they are in danger? Moreover, there is not a lot of food in the temple, and what you say is very undeserved. ”
Elder Fa Ming remembered something again as he spoke, and asked, "The Taoist leader of the Qingyun Temple in front of the mountain sent a message to me the day before yesterday, and you two brought people to make trouble, he cultivated his way, and I recited my Buddha, how can you be so nonsense?"
It turns out that there is a Taoist temple called Qingyun Temple not far from this Jinshan Temple, originally there was nothing to do with Jinshan Temple, and the Taoist chief also knew the Faming Zen Master, but this Dharma Neng, Fakong did not know from which day, suddenly suspected that this Taoist temple hindered the incense of the temple, and the two relied on some wine and meat friendship with the magistrate, so they often took people to make trouble, and wanted to drive this group of Taoist priests away, and occupied the Taoist temple. There were few people in the Taoist temple, and they were afraid of these monks, so they found someone to inform Elder Fa Ming, and the elder reprimanded them several times, and this Dharma energy and Dharma emptiness were somewhat restrained, so this matter has not made a big deal for the time being.
These two people just went to make trouble a few days ago, and when they heard the Faming Zen Master talk, the two bosses were not convinced, and quibbled: "Senior brother, as the saying goes, people fight for a breath, and the Buddha fights for a stick of incense. That temple is too close to our temple, drive them away, and the incense in our temple can flourish. ”
Elder Fa Ming said angrily, "Ridiculous, how can you have such an idea? How can you interfere with others by fighting for this incense?"
Fa Neng and Fa Kong were taught a few words by the elders, and they were even more unhappy, so they brushed their sleeves away. These two people, angry, no longer read the scriptures, no longer do the work, I don't know where to find a woman, take the temple to fool around, someone reported that the abbot of Fa Ming, the old monk was furious, the two people were arrested, the monk of Fa Ming reprimanded the two angrily, and said: "You two have repeatedly violated the precepts, and there are many evil deeds, I will gather the monks of the whole temple tomorrow and drive you two out of Jinshan Temple." ”
The two knelt down and begged bitterly: "Senior brother, for the sake of many years of love, please forgive me and the two, I will never dare to do it again." ”
Monk Fa Ming said: "You two have repeatedly taught and have not changed, and today's things will not be tolerated. ”
Seeing that the plea was useless, the two of them glanced at each other, so they changed their faces and said viciously: "Senior brother, since you don't miss the old love, don't blame my two brothers." ”
Monk Fa Ming didn't understand what the two of them meant, and still said: "You two pack up your things, from tomorrow, you won't be from Jinshan Temple." ”
After saying that, the old monk went to deal with other things. After the old monk left, the two began to mutter, not looking afraid. It turns out that although this Faming monk is the abbot of this Jinshan Temple, he is busy studying Buddhism and handling affairs all day long, and he has confiscated many disciples. On the contrary, the two of them, who are not doing their jobs on weekdays, have a lot of disciples and grandchildren, and the rest of the monks in this temple are all under the disciples of these two people, and the henchmen are all over the temple, so these two people have nothing to fear. At this moment, as soon as the two of them combined, they gave birth to a poisonous plan.
At this time, more than a dozen monks had nothing to do, talking about Buddhism in the shade of a tree in the temple, and one of the wine and meat monks was stumped by the ten-year-old Jiang Liu'er in a few words, and the monks laughed. The monk was a disciple of Fa Neng, and at this moment he was annoyed and angry, and scolded: "You little rabbit cub, I don't know my name, and my parents don't know either, what the hell are you doing here!"
The old monk Fa Ming sighed and said: "Jiang Liu'er, I want to tell you when you grow up, since you came to ask today, there will be grievances, and I will tell you about it as a teacher." After speaking, the old monk took out a small box from the beam, took out a blood book and a sweatshirt from the small box, showed it to Jiang Liu'er, and said, "This is what your biological mother wrote." ”
After reading it, Jiang Liu'er cried bitterly, and the monk Fa Ming comforted: "Jiang Liu'er, don't cry, after a few days, if there is nothing in the temple, I will go to the city of Jiangzhou with you to see if I can have a chance to meet your mother." Then your mother and son will be reunited. ”
At this time, the monk Nafa Neng came in with a cup of tea and said: "Shicai's words are reckless, and he collided with the senior brother, don't blame the senior brother, I am here to make amends today, this is the best fragrant tea, please taste it." ”
The old monk glanced at Fa Neng, and finally remembered the brotherhood of his teacher, his tone softened a little, took the tea, took a sip, and said: "Fa Neng, you and Na Fa Kong are deeply guilty, you two come to my abbot's room tonight, and I will talk to you in detail." ”
