Fourth, the ancient river Zen Temple

It is said that Mr. Zhang was originally an old Chinese medicine practitioner who practiced Buddhism while treating people's diseases, and it is said that one day he suddenly had an epiphany and opened great wisdom, so he found a place to build a temple to promote Buddhism.

I had little contact with religion and was in a state of doubt. But something like this happened to Xiao Ji, and we were also sick and rushed to the doctor. Since a friend introduced us, let's give it a try.

I asked my friend how I needed to make an appointment with Mr. Zhang. My friend said that there is no need to make an appointment, and if there is a fate, you can naturally meet.

In this way, there was no registration, no appointment, no greeting, just with a navigation, got off the highway and got off the provincial road, got off the provincial road and got off the national road, got off the aisle and went down the county road, passed by a small forest, and behind the woods, we found this ancient river Zen temple.

It is a small temple and should be renovated from the old temple. There are two courtyards in total, there is a large hall, a layman building, a canteen and a side hall, in addition to a small pavilion, there is a small river outside the temple gate, it should be the legendary ancient river.

Walking into the temple, we heard the loud chanting inside. The small courtyard was full of people, all dressed in dark brown layman's clothes, facing the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and chanting neatly: "Nan Mu Master Shakyamuni Buddha". The whole is divided into future and solemn.

Xiao Ji and I squeezed through the crowd and came to the gate of the side hall, there are so many people, where can we go to find the legendary Teacher Zhang?

Just when we were worried, the next scene made Xiao Ji and I almost kneel! The crowd of chanting raised their heads one after another, chanting the Buddha's name and looking up at the sky, and we followed their gaze and found that there was only a particularly large cloud in the clear blue sky, hovering over the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and the shape of this cloud was very much like a big Buddha! The sunlight shot out from the edge of the cloud, and there was really a feeling of Buddha's light shining through.

Xiao Ji, who loves to take selfies, instinctively took out his mobile phone, but what was presented in the photo in the mobile phone was indeed an ordinary cloud that could not be more ordinary.

"This can't be filmed," said an older sister next to her. "The Buddha is not in heaven, it is in the hearts of all of us!" We listened as if we understood or not, and from the conversation with the eldest sister, we had a new understanding of the Furukawa Zen Temple.

This temple is Mr. Zhang's own funds to renovate, the vegetarian and layman buildings in it, including a lot of Buddhism-related materials are free, Mr. Zhang is helpful and responsive, so many people come to work, volunteer to work in the temple, and also cultivate a lot of believers. Today happens to be the addition of new Buddha statues to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, so everyone comes to help, the men carry the Buddha statues together, and the women recite the Buddha name next to them, cheering them on with the power of faith.

"Young man, why don't you help move the Buddha statues, this is a great blessing!" As soon as the eldest sister said this, I realized that there were all female comrades around, and I was the only man, so I hurriedly ran over to the truck full of Buddha statues with a red face......

I moved three Arhat statues with you, and I was tired and sweaty. At this time, a middle-aged man of medium height, short hair, dark skin, wearing a blue polo shirt and black trousers, walked up. But the light from his eyes seemed to tell me that he was different.

He looked at me with a smile and said, "You're here, go to the meditation room to find me later!"

There is no doubt that he is the legendary Teacher Zhang. I was stunned for a while, and began to complain in my heart that my friend, who said that he didn't make an appointment, actually described me in such detail that people could see it at a glance.

After going out and pulling Xiaoji and asking for directions, we came to Mr. Zhang's meditation room. The meditation room is actually a bungalow, about 50 square meters, with a set of mahogany sofas in the middle: facing the door in the middle of a three-seater, symmetrical four single sofas on both sides, there are a few benches behind the single sofa, which should be a place to queue; there is a large coffee table in front of the three-person seat, on which there is a golden Buddha statue, and Mr. Zhang sits on the three-seater, that is, behind the Buddha statue. There is a futon in front of the coffee table, and everyone who comes in will kneel on the futon first and kowtow to the Buddha statue.

When we entered, Mr. Zhang was talking to a few guests. We just sat on the bench and waited.

It didn't take long for the guest to get up and leave, kowtowing again before leaving. I thought to myself, there seem to be a lot of rules here, why don't we go and knock one too? Teacher Zhang seemed to see our thoughts and said, "Those are all spontaneous to them, don't talk about so many rules, just sit down." ”

We made it to the single position next to Teacher Zhang, and before we could speak, Teacher Zhang took the initiative to say, "You are here for her divine things." When I heard this, I immediately felt hope, and felt that Xiao Ji was saved, so I nodded vigorously.

Teacher Zhang then said, "You come to me, I know, and he knows that. He is called a love demon in our Buddhist family, because his love for her is too deep, and he has become obsessed, so the ghost has been following her. “

"So what are we going to do?" I hurriedly asked, "is there a way to defeat him?"

"You have a lot of yang energy in your body, and you have a righteous body, so the love demon can't hurt you, but after all, you are flesh and blood, how many years can you live? Teacher Zhang said that the pace of life is very slow, but it is very clear.

"Then what should I do, he said my wife is dying!"

"You can recite the Great Compassion Mantra often when you go back, and he will be more comfortable. Again, don't think about fighting him! I'll give you a set of "The Four Disciplines of Liaofan," and you'll understand what I mean after reading it. After speaking, Teacher Zhang began to close his eyes and stop talking.

With a confused face, I left the meditation hall, led Xiao Ji with a bewildered face, and went to the door where a little layman handed me a CD of "The Four Teachings of Liaofan", which was also free.

After reading "The Four Trainings of Liaofan", I seem to understand what Mr. Zhang meant, fate can be changed through my own efforts. We began to recite the Great Compassion Mantra every day. Sure enough, the phenomenon of ghost presses is becoming less and less.

Half a year later, we completed our wedding and moved into a new home. Just when we all thought it was over, the real horror had just begun......

Master said, "About obsession."

When you are alive, your obsession will make you become "no person and no ghost", and after you die, you will become a "evil" that everyone is afraid of and the Three Realms will not collect. The so-called cultivation is the cultivation of the mind, and then the results of the cultivation of the mind are expressed in actions or words. Therefore, practice is a matter for everyone, not a certain group. Cultivate a pure heart and cultivate a plain nature. Many novels, film and television works talk about the mental method, in fact, it is to cultivate the mind, and the root of the cultivation of the mind is to calm the mind. Just like in martial arts novels, no matter how powerful the martial arts are, they can't exert their power without the support of mental methods.
