Apprentice

"Since there is no doubt, you can apprentice. "Buddhism doesn't have as many false gifts as other sects, you just need to toast a cup of apprentice tea." It was supposed to take refuge and shave. If you don't want to, I won't force it. ”

Cheongdam brought a cup of tea. Prajna took it with both hands and respectfully saluted the teacher's tea. She and Yuan established the master-apprentice relationship. Liyuan took out a pair of wooden fish and handed it to Prajna: "This is a meeting gift for you from the teacher." Every disciple of the Buddhist sect can receive a pair of wooden fish when they are apprenticed. The wooden fish of the Buddha are all Buddha treasures that can evolve with the growth of the owner. Therefore, if there is no accident in each Buddha statue, there is only this wooden fish in his life. This wooden fish is made of 10,000-year-old rosewood and awakening stones, and it is engraved with Buddhist scriptures and formations. It is a necessity for you to do morning and evening classes and practice. In the future, if you cultivate to reach the Juyuan Realm, it will also be your flying magic weapon. When you subdue demons and subdue demons, the wooden fish will also be an attacking magic weapon. ”

Praruo respectfully took the wooden fish: "Amitabha, thank the master for the treasure." ”

"In fact, many disciples of the Buddha Sect have refined the wooden fish into their natal Buddha treasure. Of course, there are also people who use Buddha beads as natal Buddha treasures. And you Buddhas are different. The beads that you bring with you are the embodiment of your Buddha seed. And the appearance is the impression of your subconscious. So you are born with the Natal Buddha Jewel. As for how to develop the ability of your natal Buddha treasure, I will ask you more Senior Brother Qingtan. ”

Only then did Prajna realize that the string of Buddhist beads in his hand was not the one from his previous life. It's just that when it changed from a Buddha seed to a Buddha bead, the subconscious impression of the Buddha beads in her heart was that this was the string of the previous life. That's why the Buddha seed will turn into the Buddha beads that used to be exactly the same as the string of Buddha beads.

Li Yuan smiled and said: "The so-called master leads the door, and the cultivation is in the individual. In Buddhism, even as a master and apprentice, the exercises practiced by the two are not necessarily the same. Therefore, in the end, you still have to rely on yourself more in your own practice. All the master can do is try to solve your doubts. ”

Master Lijue on the side took out a lotus Buddha crown and said to her: "You don't want to shave, but you can't have your hair scattered." I'll give you this lotus crown to wear. This lotus crown is a defensive Buddha treasure, which can not only regulate the hair, but also play a defensive role. It is engraved with a formation and inlaid with a meditation stone, which can help you maintain a stable state of mind when you practice, and external demons will not invade. ”

Prajna took it with both hands: "Amitabha, thank you very much." Then he took apart the bun on his head and put on the Buddha crown.

Other great monks also gave gifts. Prajna looked at a pile of things and didn't know where to put them. At this time, Qingtan reminded, "You never realized that you had to communicate with your Buddha Beads with Buddha consciousness (i.e., divine consciousness) before. Now you've asked the Buddha a level. Although the Buddha consciousness is still very weak, after all, the Buddha beads are the embodiment of your Buddha seed, and you should be able to communicate with it smoothly. Among the 108 Buddhist beads, several of them have storage functions. As for what other functions are and how to stimulate them, it depends on the results of your own communication with it. ”

Prajna nodded, skillfully releasing the Buddha consciousness and touching the Buddha beads on his chest. A sense of familiarity as if it were a part of one's body came from the beads. Prajna imprinted two of the beads with the Buddha's consciousness according to the method he sensed. Then there was a movement in their hearts, and they saw that the pile had disappeared. It can be seen that Prajna has successfully stimulated the storage function of the Buddhist beads. The great monks present looked at each other and smiled, all clasped their hands together, and proclaimed the Buddha's name: "Amitabha!"

He took out something like a crystal ball: "The exercises of the Buddhist sect are all derived from the Buddhist scriptures. You put your hands on it and call with your heart. Let the teacher see which of your exercises you are destined for. ”

Pranya stepped forward to do so, and after a while, he saw the crystal ball shining brightly. A book of scriptures glowing with gold appeared inside. Everyone looked at it, and the surface of the sutra read "Myoho-renge-kyo." Immediately, the scriptures turned into golden light and drilled into the sea of knowledge of Prajna. Prajna only felt that countless words with golden light appeared in his mind, and he calmed down in an instant.

"Amitabha!" said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be chosen by this Myoho-renge-kyo." It has been nearly a thousand years since the Buddha sect was chosen by this exercise. So you're going to have to refuel later. Now that you have become a disciple of the Buddhist sect, you have chosen the exercises. It's time to give you a name. ”

Prajna clasped his hands together and said, "Please give the master." ”

"You are my apprentice, then you are the Qingzi generation. You have been chosen by this Myoho-renge-kyo Sutra. The lotus flower is a metaphor for the wonderful, the first is the flowers and fruits at the same time, the second is out of the mud without staining, and the third is introverted and not exposed. As a teacher, I hope that in the future, your body will be like glass, clear inside and out, and pure and flawless. Let's give the name of the orfa clear glass. ”

"Amitabha, Master Qingli Xie gave the number. In the future, I will study the true scriptures with my heart, and I will achieve positive results. ”

"Great goodness. Amitabha!"

After worshipping the teacher, Qingtan took Qingli (in the future, they will all use the Dharma name to call Pranya) back to her meditation room. As he walked, he said, "Those little novices you see today are actually disciples of various halls. Now the heads of the halls are the teachers of the Qing generation. Their disciples are Hengzi. Most of these little novices are disciples of the Hengzi generation, and now they are the Jingzi generation. Our Fahua Temple is strict in selecting people, so it takes much longer to pass on the generation than other branch temples. If you see disciples the size of me in the temple, except for those who have cultivated in the realm of Xiaojin's body, who have grown up in various courtyards, the rest are all disciples of the pure character generation who have been selected by the temple to study. It is inevitable that it will be misunderstood, as you can see by looking at the neckline of the monk's robe. Except for the elders of the character generation, the collar of the rest of the monks' robes is embroidered with the character generation. ”

Qingli took a closer look at Qingtan, and really found a small Qingzi on his neckline. Qingli thought about what he had just said again. Co-authored at Hokkeji Temple, the younger ones tend to be older. This is one of the peculiarities of Hokkeji Temple.

Qingli was curious: "Now there are no other disciples in the Fahua Temple who ask the Buddha Realm?"

"Absolutely. Qingtan explained, "The disciples selected by Fahua Temple are generally not separated. They would practice together in the disciple's hall. After the gathering of yuan, it will be distributed to each hall. And now there are still five or six young disciples who are only six or seven years old living in the disciple hall. These are all the disciples of the Hengzi generation who have reached the realm of Xiaojin in each academy. So they are now pure characters. Senior Brother Qing Hui is in charge of the disciple hall. Tomorrow I will take you to the disciple hall. You have to follow them to refine your body. ”

"You are still young, and the dining hall is in the outer courtyard, and you cannot go there to eat on your feet. You also know that you can't use rhewal paste and other materials before Juyuan. You're an exception. You don't have to dine with them. Your meal will be delivered to you by someone at the monastery. Qingtan reminded.

"Then what about me except for refining my body with them?" Qingli decided to break the casserole and ask to the end.

"After all, the Buddha is special, and he will have to deal with the major affairs of the Buddha sect in the future. How can you do if you don't know the situation of the various temples and temples?" Qingtan was not impatient, and continued to explain, "You practice with them for an hour every day after finishing your morning class. Then come back for breakfast. Every afternoon, I went to study with the heads of each college for two hours, and then I did evening classes. The rest of the time is yours to choose. It doesn't matter if you practice the Dharma or copy Buddhist scriptures. Or you can develop your own little hobby. The temple will not interfere. ”

"What do you mean by a little hobby?"

"You also know that the selected disciples in the temple are too highly skilled. Therefore, in order to enter Juyuan at a young age, the temple encourages everyone to cultivate some small hobbies to kill time. For example, refining tools, drawing talismans, alchemy, etc. There are also people who like to grow flowers and cook. Like Senior Brother Qingxuan, he likes to cook, so let him manage the canteen. Does junior sister have any hobbies?" Qingtan said with a smile.

"I love beauty. Can you cultivate stinky beauty if you like it?"

Qingtan's smiling face burst for a moment: "I'm afraid that the hobby of junior sister can't be cultivated." After all, there are precepts for the dress of the Buddha. I'm afraid that the junior sister can only practice hard, and when Xiaojin's body is in the realm, she will change her appearance to a peerless beauty. ”

Qingli couldn't help but speak: "Senior brother, don't tease me there." Speaking of cultivating a hobby, it shouldn't just be as simple as delaying everyone's entry into the Juyuan period. After all, Buddhism pays attention to a word of enlightenment. If we immerse ourselves in penance, where will we come from? Enlightenment will never be separated from the practice of life. This hobby is also a chance for everyone to become enlightened in the future, right?"

Qingtan looked at Qingli seriously for a while at this moment, and then said with a smile: "Amitabha, my sister has seen it thoroughly, and she is indeed a person with great wisdom. ”

"However, this provides an opportunity for enlightenment, and the disciples who have been selected are all very good. So they entered the Juyuan Realm at a young age. This is contrary to the purpose of delaying the entry into Juyuan. Qingli couldn't help but complain.

"So after all, we are Buddhas, not Buddhas. In the end, you can't do it both ways. Qingtan said calmly.

Qingli does not admit that this statement is very correct, and it is simply an all-purpose diplomatic rhetoric to the outside world.
