9. Ordination ceremony
"Have you heard, the two junior disciples brought back by Uncle Fakong......
"Shhhh
"You don't want to die, that's the gods descending to earth, and peeping at the gods will be punished by the gods!"
"I heard that when Uncle Fakong entered the temple, he also had a vision!"
"Really, why can't you see it now?"
"His old man has long been mellow and round, and his soul is introverted, how can his golden body be easily revealed?"
"Ah...... Uncle Fakong is so powerful, I don't know what realm he has reached!"
"I heard that people have condensed their golden bodies decades ago, and now I'm afraid they have already produced Buddha relics!"
"Then what kind of realm do you say, what kind of realm are the two junior brothers?"
"It is said that they have also condensed the golden body ......"
"Impossible, right?"
The monks' expressions were full of envy......
People are more popular than people, I have been cultivating in Jinshan Temple for twenty or thirty years, but I am still in the realm of Kaifan, and the two little junior disciples seem to be only in their teens, and they have already condensed their golden bodies!
"I'll tell you...... Our senior brother Xuanzang may be more than just the Golden Body Realm......" Another monk suddenly said mysteriously.
"What?" exclaimed the monk next to him.
"I heard my master say that when Xuanzang entered the mountain a few days ago, he had a discussion with the abbot in front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall. After that, the abbot went into retreat, probably to have some realization......"
"Ah, Abbot Fa Ming is a real golden body realm, just a few words can make him have an epiphany, isn't the junior brother ......?"
"Don't lie, don't dare to lie!"
......
Lin Buyi had a dream.
In the dream, he sat on the Dharma platform, and thousands of believers in the audience bowed and bowed with devotion.
When he breathed, he attracted auspicious clouds in the sky, and between the pitches, the thunder sounded loudly.
Suddenly, the auspicious clouds turned into black mist, and then thunder fell, and the audience was suddenly black, followed by a river of blood.
......
"What the hell!"
After waking up from the nightmare, he was soaked in cold sweat.
It's been three days since I came to Jinshan Temple.
For three days, he did not leave the door, isolated himself in the meditation room, and slept all day except sleeping.
Every day, the little monk of the Ming generation brought food over, and at the same time cast a look of awe.
"Uncle Junior, are you really Venerable Venerable?"
For this kind of question, Lin Buyi is really powerless to complain, and he doesn't know how to answer.
As soon as he spoke, a lotus flower popped up, and he couldn't explain it clearly.
Yesterday evening, when the little monk who delivered the meal was leaving, he told him that this afternoon, the abbot Fa Ming would personally hold an ordination ceremony for him.
The so-called ordination is to burn a few incense scars on the top of the head to show devotion to the Buddha.
Lin Buyi didn't bother to resist, in short, he lived like a salted fish, and he no longer showed his dew, could it be that these monks could really tie themselves to the road of learning scriptures?
Even if they are tied up, let themselves go west, and they face east, what can they do!
However, Xuanqi is simple-minded, and he did not pretend to be a waste house like Lin Buyi, and did his homework on time every day wholeheartedly, and many monks had a good impression of this little monk who stepped on the lotus, and after three days, it seemed that he had become a mascot in the temple.
"Knock knock—"
There was a knock on the door, dragging Lin Buyi out of his chaotic thoughts.
"Uncle Junior, are you awake?"
A childish voice came from outside the door, and then a small bald head pushed open the door and poked his head in.
Lin Buyi knew that his name was Mingxin, and he was in charge of his own food these days.
"Mingxin, has the time come?"
The little monk nodded: "The ancestor asked me to invite you over, saying that I was going to preside over the ordination ceremony for the little uncle." ”
The little monk walked in as he spoke, holding a brand new set of monk's robes in his hand.
"This is the ancestor made a special trip for the little uncle, and it is said that it is also blessed with the Buddhist treasure seal, which has the ability to avoid all evils. ”
Ordination was originally a semi-annual collective ceremony, and each time it was held, the abbot of Jinshan Temple would gather the elders, the first seat, the Zen master, and the disciples into five places.
Then invite a special ordained monk to come and put an incense scar on the top of the head of the ordained novice.
The number of incense scars varies from one to nine, depending on the degree of affiliation with the Buddha, and the more incense scars that can be burned during the ordination ceremony, the deeper the affinity with the Buddha.
After the ordination ceremony is completed, it is possible to obtain the Dharma of Buddhism and embark on the path of Buddhist practice.
These are all things that Fakong explained to himself before going up the mountain, and of course Lin Buyi remembers.
When he first heard the news, he resisted it inwardly.
The main reasons are......
Fear of pain.
But when he thought that his head couldn't even bite a giant python, he immediately relaxed again.
On the way from Deadwood Peak to Jinshan Temple, they also encountered a lot of animal corpses, and after Lin Buyi rushed to chant the mantra of the past life to overkill the small animals, the excess value of the system had increased by more than 30 points.
That translates to 3 defenses.
At this time, his defense has reached 13 points, and when the time comes, he will burn incense scars on his head...... It shouldn't hurt, right?
Immediately, he thought again, since the number of incense scars burned is related to the fate of Buddhism, so if the defense on his head is so high, will he not be able to burn incense scars?
Then he was judged to have no relationship with the Buddha, and then he was expelled from the mountain gate?
Thinking of this, Lin Buyi suddenly felt happy.
Mingxin waited for a moment. ”
After that, he took the monk's robe, and went around the screen to take a bath, and after changing it, he suddenly felt warm all over his body, but he didn't know what evil the monk's robe could scare away......
"Wow, Uncle Xiao is even more solemn when he wears this!" the little monk's eyes were full of light.
Lin Buyi glanced at himself in the bronze mirror, and suddenly lowered his face again......
Different from the brown and yellow clothes worn by other monks, his own set is beige as a whole, and the lines in between them seem to be surrounded by a trace of streamer, which is a little mysterious at a glance.
At this moment, not only did there be a faint fluorescence on the top of his head, but even his body began to emit a faint golden Buddha light......
"These are all things outside the body, not enough to worry about, let's go. ”
Ignoring Mingxin's admiring expression, he walked forward by himself.
Along the way, Mingxin introduced him to the content of the ordination ceremony.
At noon, complete the bathing and changing.
From time to time, burn incense and pray under the watchful eye of the Dharma Academy.
At the time of Shen, he received the blessings of the Dharma and began the ordination ceremony.
Then make an oath in front of the Buddha, and then you can receive Buddhist cultivation books according to the number of incense scars.
Because of this last step, a fierce debate began in Jinshan Temple early this morning.
"Senior Brother Xuanzang is Venerable Linfan, where do you still need the cultivation classics of our Jinshan Temple?"
"That can't be done, wouldn't it be a great disrespect to the Buddha if we don't complete the ordination ceremony?"
"The Buddha is at ease in his heart, how can he care about worldly etiquette?"
