The temple where the incense was flourishing, but today there is a monk who is not a monk. Fastest updates

The temple presiding officer asked, "Are you a monk?"

"Yes or no. The monk shook his head and replied.

The host asked, "Why are you here?"

"Preach the Dharma. The monk replied with his palms folded.

The host sneered, "You monk, come to the monastery to preach the Dharma?"

"A Buddha is no longer a Buddha. The monk raised his head and walked out of the door, looked at the Buddha statue outside the temple, and sighed deeply.

"You crazy monk, what qualifications do you have to preach the Dharma?" the monks in the temple shouted together.

The monk shook his head and sighed, "Because I turned out to be a Buddha." ”

"It turned out to be a crazy monk, come and send out some fasting food. When the host saw that the monk was crazy, he thought he was a crazy monk.

Buddha, the mind is also, emptiness is also. Full of selfish desires, the Buddha is no longer a Buddha. Buddhism inherently relieves karma for the benefit of all beings. Sin adds to the body, and the Dharma is no longer the Dharma. When the Buddha is not the Buddha and the Dharma is not the Dharma, what is the difference between the Buddha and the Devil?

It took 500 years for monks to see through Hinayana and 500 years to enlighten Mahayana. But 500 years ago they called him Buddha, and 500 years later they called him a madman.

"Buddha, what is a Buddha?" the monk looked up and asked the Buddha in his heart.

The Buddha said, "I am a Buddha, and you are also a Buddha." ”

"Then why become a Buddha?" the monk asked again.

"Buddha. That's all the Buddha said.

Hearing this, the monk asked again, "What about all the creatures in the world?"

"The heart is transformed. ”

"Then why don't you temper them?" the monk continued.

"You can only preach and give the Dharma, and the merit lies in practice. ”

"Why can't we suffer from them, overcome their evils, and cultivate their merits?"

"Because we are already Buddhas. Thousands of worlds, thousands of karmic obstacles, if you do it, you will never become a Buddha, like the Bodhisattva of the Earth. ”

"Buddha, I want to go to the world to see. "The monk seems to have decided something.

"If you go, you may never come back. The Buddha looked at the monk in a questioning tone.

"Then what's the difference between me going and not?" the monk turned to leave.

So the monk walked back along the westbound road a thousand years ago. He passed by the Tongtian River, passed by Fengxian County, passed by the Bhikshu Country, passed by the Flame Mountain, and finally arrived at the Five Finger Mountain, which pressed Wukong thousands of years ago. He saw too much and thought a lot along the way, so he sat on Wuzhi Mountain.

Until one day, a shepherd boy came.

When the shepherd boy saw the monk's respect, he immediately saluted and said lightly, "Meet the master." ”

The monk slowly opened his eyes, shook his head and said, "You don't have to be like this. ”

"No, no, it should be like this. The shepherd boy shook his head.

The monk smiled and asked, "I'm just a monk, why do I have to make such a big gift?"

When the shepherd boy saw that the monk was not a local, he asked, "Let's see that the master is not a native of China, our emperor believes in Buddhism, and a hundred years ago it was stipulated that all commoners must make a great salute when they see a monk." ”

"Oh, there is such a thing?" the monk nodded, looking confused.

"Yes, and we have to pay the temple for incense every month. Hehe, now there is more tax money, if it rains, you must pay prayer money for rain, and if you want to grow crops in the field, you must pay land money, too much. If you grow some food at home, you have to remove seven or eight. The shepherd boy sighed.

"Does the monastery care?" the monk asked.

The shepherd boy looked disdainful and said, "They have so much money for incense, and the smallest temple also has a hundred and ten acres of land, who will care if we live or die." ”

"What about the Buddha, the Bodhisattva?"

"They only bless those who have money and power, and who have a lot of incense. ”

"And how do you live?"

The shepherd boy pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "Grandpa said that if you can live, you will live," and then the shepherd boy turned around and pointed to Wuzhi Mountain, and said with a smile: "Listen to grandpa, there is a big hero here, and we have to wait for the hero to come back." ”

Seeing that it was Wuzhi Mountain, the monk smiled and said lightly: "He, he will come back." ”

After the shepherd boy left, the monk sat on the mountain for eighty-one days. In the end, he faced the west and whispered: "Buddha, what is a Buddha, today the golden cicada will break away from Buddhism, and he will no longer be a Buddha! Let alone believe in Buddhism! I only believe in him." ”

In an instant, the monk suddenly disappeared in place, as if the world had evaporated.
