Chapter 1199: A Story
There was an abrupt silence in the room.
Although the gray-clothed old monk has been a high-ranking monk for a generation, at this moment, his eyes are full of many blank colors.
That's because Chu Yun's words gave him too much impact.
For many years, Shanjian Temple has adhered to the original persistence, and for this reason, generations of monks have walked out of the temple gate and traveled the world to teach the world with the goodness in Buddhism.
Whether it was rewarded or not, it persevered, and to this day, it is still doing so.
They don't feel bitter, they don't feel tired, they are willing to pay for it for the grand wish in their hearts, even if it is at the cost of their lives.
However, are they really, bound by this persistence, so that they are too obsessed, and have gone mad?
The gray-clothed old monk didn't believe it, or rather, he couldn't believe it!
"Little benefactor?"
Finally, he raised his head and looked at Chu Yun.
Chu Yun said: "I said that there is no need for reasons and excuses to do anything, once there is an excuse to add to it, this matter will not be so pure." ”
"For the sake of the world, you can take it to heart, but always say it from your mouth, this is too deliberate, so because of this deliberateness, your persistence has changed its taste. ”
The gray-clothed old monk said: "The old man is just a genius, and he lost his words for a while. ”
Chu Yun smiled and said, "The so-called gaffe, more often, is because I really think like this in my heart, so I can blurt it out." ”
"So, I have never doubted your intentions, you can continue to do this, but there is no need, to impose your beliefs on others, this is very undesirable, this is also a bad taste. ”
The gray-clothed old monk smiled bitterly and said, "But for so many years, I haven't seen the slightest effect, my generation is really unwilling!"
Chu Yun said: "Master, you are doing this for the sake of the common people in the world, whether there is a return, that is another matter, since you are unwilling, it means that you at the moment, the starting point is no longer pure." ”
"When you do something and want to get something in return, it's already selfishness!"
What he really meant was that since he was insisting on such a big ambition, and this ambition might not be realized, he should not be unwilling.
If you do this with an unwilling mentality, the so-called excuse for the common people of heaven and earth, you are deceiving yourself.
This meaning was too heavy, and Chu Yun couldn't bear to say it.
In any case, the persistence of Shanjian Temple is admirable!
The gray-clothed old monk smiled bitterly again, and then asked: "Perhaps, the old man is really obsessed, little donor, I don't know, you may teach the old man?"
Now, it was Chu Yun's turn to smile bitterly.
Although he has had two lives before and after, after all, he is a secular person, with enough selfishness and ambition, he is not a good person in the ordinary sense, let him teach a high-ranking monk, where does he have such qualifications?
Fang just said so many words, it was nothing more than to dispel the gray-clothed old monk's compulsion and teach him, what can Chu Yun teach?
However, this is very important for the gray-clothed old monk!
The obsession has been deep, if it is not cleared in time, a generation of eminent monks, from now on, will really go mad, in this life, life is better than death!
Chu Yun was silent, and in his mind, he recalled many books he had read and stories he knew.
After a long time, he turned to a page and said, "Master, I'll tell you a story." ”
The gray-clothed old monk said: "Okay, little donor, please speak, the old man listens." ”
Chu Yun asked, "Master, have you ever heard of the word hell?"
"Hell?"
The gray-clothed old monk was stunned, and then shook his head After all, they are two different worlds, in this world, there is no hell, in this world, what is circulating is only the netherworld, although the meaning is similar!
Chu Yun said: "Hell, also known as eighteen layers of hell, that is, a total of eighteen layers. ”
"It is rumored that after sentient beings die, they will turn into ghosts, enter the underworld, and be dominated by the underworld, and see what sentient beings have done before their deaths. ”
"According to the evil deeds done, the hells are divided into different levels, and they are tormented to pay for the evil they have done on earth. ”
"For countless years, too many evildoers have been sent to hell, resulting in hell, where too many ghosts cry out, but because they have done countless evils, they will not be reborn and will be put in hell forever. ”
"When a great supernatural person enters hell and sees the miserable fate of countless ghosts, he can't bear it, so he lives in hell and uses the supreme Dharma to influence these ghosts so that they can be reborn. ”
"However, there are too many ghosts in hell, even if the Dharma is boundless, it can't influence all the ghosts, that great supernatural person, from now on, make a grand wish, hell is not empty, and vow not to become a Buddha!"
Chu Yun looked at the gray-clothed old monk and said, "Since then, this great supernatural person has been living in hell, giving up the opportunity to become a Buddha, and for countless years, he has been in hell, influencing these ghosts who were once evil in the world. ”
At this end of the words, Chu Yun believed that with the practice of the gray-clothed old monk, he could understand the moral of this mythical story.
"Hell is not empty, and you will not become a Buddha!"
The gray-clothed old monk muttered softly, and after a long time, there was no longer a blank look in his eyes, and he understood the moral of the story.
Giving up everything, not caring about their own gains and losses, no regrets, to influence the ghosts in hell, the so-called grand wish, this is the real grand wish.
Compared with the ambition in this story, the ambition of Shanjian Temple is also big enough, but after years of perseverance, their mentality has changed, which is their magic barrier and their fault.
"Little donor, thank you!"
The gray-clothed old monk clenched his fists, extremely solemn.
One thought became a Buddha, and one thought became a demon, and he and the monks of Shanjian Temple almost sank forever in the demon barrier.
Chu Yun smiled and said, "It's good that the master can understand, now it's okay, I'll leave!"
The gray-clothed old monk said: "Little donor, I still want to ask you for something." ”
Chu Yun said: "The master has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"
The gray-clothed old monk said: "From now on, the monks of Shanjian Temple will begin to introspect, but my generation will continue to stick to the grand wish made by the previous teacher." ”
"So, if there is a day when the little donor can help, I will ask the little donor to help me and wait. ”
"Okay, I promise!"
In the future, if he really has the ability to change one or two, of course Chu Yun will not refuse, this is a matter of immeasurable merit.
The gray-clothed old monk immediately asked, "I don't know the little donor, how to call it?"
Chu Yun said: "My name is Chu Yun, from the Xuan Domain!"
"Xuanyu!"
The gray-clothed old monk seemed to know in his heart, he immediately took out a jade slip, handed it to Chu Yun, and said: "The old man is in a state of distress, at any time, if the little donor needs the help of the mountain stream temple and the old man, he can send a message to the old man, and all the forces of the mountain stream temple will be ready at any time." ”
Chu Yun did not take this jade slip, he said: "Master, Buddhism pays attention to the reincarnation of cause and effect, today you and I meet, this is the end, in the future, when I have the ability to do something, I will come to the master." ”
"If you can't do it, all this, the master and the mountain stream temple, can be forgotten. ”
Chu Yun didn't have a clear idea of how strong the Mountain Stream Temple was, but he knew that no matter how strong the Mountain Stream Temple was, the wind and rain he might have to face in the future, it was best for the Mountain Stream Temple not to get involved.
Otherwise, if it's not good, the mountain stream temple will no longer exist!
They have a great ambition, although it is impossible to achieve it, this is also an insistence in their hearts, Chu Yun does not want it, because of this cause and effect with him, let the Shanjian Temple have an accident.
The gray-clothed old monk said: "Since the little donor also knows cause and effect, we meet today, the cause and effect have been accomplished, so the little donor should not refuse." ”
Chu Yun smiled, pushed the gray-clothed old monk's hand back, and then said, "Master, I have something important to do, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so I will leave!"
"Hopefully, there will be a period later!"
After saying that, he turned around and left the room, and after a while, left the mountain stream temple...
