Chapter 21: The Buddha stays in his heart
"it, I thought that the monks of Jinshan Temple were strict in their precepts! I was really ashamed for a long time when I was scolded by Elder Yuanlong, and I felt that the elders trained well, and I wanted to fast for ......a year in order to make amends," the crowd of onlookers suddenly stood up and pointed at Li Bai and scolded.
Yuanlong looked at the man, but recognized that the man was the pilgrim who had given the chickens in the first place, so he also bowed his head in shame.
Hearing this kind of thing, everyone also exploded at this time, and kept talking.
"Oh my God! I can't imagine such a thing! If such a person is really allowed to be the abbot, I am afraid that the Buddha will disappear!"
"If this kind of person can also be an abbot, then I not only eat chicken, but also call chickens Isn't it a Buddha?"
"You dead ghost still call a chicken, see if I don't screw your ears! Let you become a Buddha now!"
"Ah......h
"Huh...... If this kind of person becomes the abbot, Lao Tzu will not come to this Jinshan Temple in the future. ”
......
Lin Chen was also shocked in his heart, and turned his head to look at Li Bai, but the other party looked like he was nothing, this is a violation of the precepts!
Li Bai's impression of Lin Chen has changed, especially the Buddhist verse written by Li Bai, I really feel that my travels in the past few years have been in vain, but I can't imagine that the person who wrote this kind of Buddhist verse actually eats chicken!
This kind of thing, Xu Lao can't interject, it is indeed Li Bai's fault.
"Yuanlong! Yuantong! This kind of thing can't be talked about. The abbot scolded.
"Abbot! It's not that I'm talking nonsense, the monks don't speak! This kid really eats chicken! If you don't believe it, you can go to the firewood room and have a look, it is estimated that the leftover chicken feathers are still there. Yuantong said unceremoniously, and stared at Li Bai fiercely after speaking.
Hmph! Now it's time for you to be ruined!
"Haha!" Li Bai smiled, turned his head and looked left and right at the onlookers.
"What are you laughing at? What else do you have to say?" said Yuantong.
"There's nothing to say, chicken...... It's me who eats it!" Li Bai said with a shrug of his shoulders.
Since he has done it, of course Li Bai will not deny it.
"This ...... "The abbot was so angry that he almost fainted, Jinshan Temple has never had such a thing, he can only blame himself for having no way to discipline him, and he almost passed the position of abbot to him just now, he is really blind!
"You see he doesn't have any sense of wrongness!
"If you eat chicken today, you may really call it tomorrow. Such a monk can't stay!"
"You must get out of Jinshan Temple!"
"Yes, don't stay! Get out of Jinshan Temple!"
......
As soon as Li Bai's words were finished, the onlookers were angry.
"A monk shall not kill, second, steal, third, commit adultery, fourth, not lie, fifth, drink, and sixth, eat meat. Li Bai suddenly committed the third of the six precepts, not only killing and eating meat, but also speaking lies. Yuantong saw that his words were effective, so he continued: "The state has national laws, and the temple has its rules! According to the rules of this temple, you should be fined 200 rods, and then driven out of the temple as a punishment!"
"This ......" The abbot was silent for a moment, but still nodded: "Okay......"
As soon as Li Bai became a monk, he committed a number of precepts, and he must be punished with a rod of 200, and if he was still young, if he knew the mistake, he could be exempted from the punishment of expulsion from the monastery. The abbot said with a solemn expression: "Hui'an, strike the bell!"
it!
What kind of ghost cane penalty 200? I used to watch TV in the TV cane penalty 200 after the fight was dead!
Isn't it just eating a chicken?
Li Bai ate chicken every day in the school canteen all his life......
There is no way, but to blame the cheap chickens during the bird flu period at that time......
Doesn't that deserve to be beaten to death?
"......" Li Bai.
"Abbot...... Although the master has violated the precepts, he still asks the abbot to take it lightly, I am afraid that the master will not be able to bear it, if it is really not possible, the disciple is willing to bear this punishment for him. Cobblestone pleaded at this time.
Yuanshi has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and this 200 cane punishment can only make him unable to get out of bed for a few days at most, or his life, although Li Bai has violated the precepts, but he is his master after all.
Li Bai was very moved, someone actually helped him intercede.
"Yes, the abbot ......" Yuanlong also nodded weakly at this time, after all, the source was caused by him.
Yuantong glanced at Yuanshi at this time, then looked at Yuanlong and said, "How can punishment be replaced? This can only make a wicked animal like Li Bai more arrogant!"
"Yuanlong! You are not a good thing! Don't think that if you can come out to testify against Li Bai, you will be exempted from punishment! As far as I know, you have also drunk chicken soup, right? You should take care of yourself first! Although you did not kill, you will not be able to avoid a 100 rod punishment. Yuantong said with a cold snort.
He didn't want to tell Yuanlong, but he didn't expect Yuanlong to intercede for Li Bai.
"You!shameless!" Yuanlong's expression also changed greatly, Yuantong said that as long as he came out to correct Li Bai, he would not tell him about drinking chicken soup, but he couldn't imagine that the other party would be so untrustworthy!
"Yuanlong, so you are also involved?" The abbot was already very angry, but now he heard that there were accomplices, and he was even more annoyed.
"Abbot...... I ......" the dragon bowed his head in shame.
"Yuanlong, as an elder, even ignored the rules of the temple, and the crime was increased by one degree! The rod was punished by 100 to set an example!" said the abbot angrily.
"......" Li Bai frowned, but smiled again: "Hahaha......"
"Wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha has left it in his heart!" Li Bai looked at Yuantong and said: "One person does things and one person is in charge, the chicken is what I eat, but Elder Yuanlong also ate the chicken I cooked without knowing it, have you ever heard of it?"
Wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha has left it in his heart?
Lin Chen chewed on this sentence repeatedly, but shook his head.
This sentence has appeared in this world, said by Zen Master Daoji.
During the Ming Dynasty, a thief took out some wine and meat and said to an abbot: "Monk, my conditions are very simple, as long as you eat these wine and meat, I will let these people go, and I will never lose my word." ”
At that time, the people were in an uproar! This plan is very desperate! The cultivators drank and spilled meat,
If you break your fast, you will be beaten into the animal road and hungry ghosts, and you will suffer immeasurably.
I saw the abbot pick up the wine glass and said calmly: "I will replace tea with wine, and everyone will drink tea." After saying that, he drank it all. Then he picked up a piece of meat and said, "I'll cook with it." Please. ”
After saying that, eat it all. The face does not change.
Later, there was this sentence said by Zen Master Daoji: Wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha stays in his heart?
People eat meat to save people, you a little monk eats a chicken, what do you say?
Everyone knows that there are two sentences after this sentence: If the world learns from me, it is like entering the devil's way.
It's just that Li Bai's practice of punishing Yuanlong made Lin Chen appreciate it.
The abbot also nodded, but he also appreciated Li Bai's ability to take responsibility.
"Hmph! Abbot Daoming's words can be said by a greedy little monk like you, which is simply an insult to Abbot Daoming! People like you have already fallen into the devil's path and cannot be helped!" Yuan Tong snorted coldly.
