Chapter 40: The Buddha Will Not Be the Buddha
As soon as the morning bell rang that day, Xiao Sha Jing hurriedly walked to Uncle Kongxuan's meditation room with a copper kettle in one hand and a copper basin in the other.
In the past, this time would not be so busy, but today it is the day of the monthly examination of the Prajna Hall once a month, so even the morning class has been canceled today, and the thirty-eight great warrior monks will all gather in the Prajna Hall today to compete and compete, which is also a grand ceremony once a month for the junior warrior monks.
It was the first time for Uncle Kongxuan, who was in charge of serving Jingduan, to participate, so Xiao Shami got up earlier than usual to ensure that he would not make a mistake.
Putting down the copper basin, Jing Duan knocked on the door of Uncle Xuan's meditation room, there was a faint sound inside, but no one responded.
After a little hesitation, Jing Duan still pushed open the door and walked in with a copper kettle and a basin of water; in the past few days, Uncle Kong Xuan has been cultivating every morning, and Uncle Kongxuan's personality is also the most kind, he once told him not to be too polite.
Walking into the meditation room, Xiao Sha Jing put the copper basin on the three-standing wooden frame with his hands and feet, and then lifted the copper kettle and poured half a basin of water into it, and put down a clean gauze scarf.
Just as he was about to leave immediately, Li Xuan, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly burst out with a series of crisp sounds, just like firecrackers set off in the imperial city of the Midyear Festival.
Xiao Shami looked at the bed, and saw Uncle Kong Xuan sitting on the bed, pinching the Fearless Seal in his hand, obviously it should be the deepest and quietest meditation!
But at this moment, Uncle Kongxuan's muscles and bones exploded, his muscles swelled, and the sweat droplets the size of beans even oozed out of his bald head and then fell, and the whole person was like a cooked lobster, releasing an almost hideous red, and his whole body seemed to have become bigger!
It's not just the change in appearance, what makes Xiao Shami Jingduan even more terrifying is the ever-expanding momentum on Uncle Kongxuan's body, which makes Jingduan think of the statues of the Angry King in the Luohan Hall, which are also fierce and domineering, directly hitting people's hearts and minds, and people can't help but feel weak.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Uncle Kongxuan's body to suddenly converge, and both his demeanor and skin seemed to return to normal, but his body seemed to be thinner.
At this moment, Li Xuan opened his eyes, and two rays of essence shot out, which instantly reminded Xiao Shami of the stars that suddenly shone in the night sky.
Uncle Kongxuan's internal strength has made great progress, and his true qi has been successful! This thought immediately came to the mind of Xiao Shami, should he report it to the master?
"Jingduan, thank you for helping me fetch water. Li Xuan stood up and stepped out of bed directly, only feeling full of energy and refreshment, and wanted to share his joy with others.
"Uncle Kongxuan, today is the monthly exam of the Pranyo Hall, and the master ordered me to inform the senior uncle that the canteen is open half an hour earlier than usual. Xiao Shami's quiet response was a little nervous.
"It's the first time I've participated, and the previous monthly exams were so lively?" Li Xuan's ears twitched, and he immediately heard a commotion not far away, and it seemed that many monks had come to visit!
"Uncle Hui, every time there is a monthly exam in the Prajna Hall and the Bodhi Academy, the disciples of the Luohan Hall will basically come to watch the battle, but in the past few years, there have been more people who have joined the Bodhi Academy. "Xiao Shami, Jingduan, was very excited at first, but then he became a little depressed.
Li Xuan hadn't paid attention to the details of the monthly exam before, and at this time he couldn't help but be curious, so he asked the little monk to explain it to himself, and he listened while washing his face.
Although Xiao Shami's martial arts qualifications are not very good, he is clever and has some talent, which soon made Li Xuan understand the significance of the monthly examination of Pranyotang.
In Longxin Temple, there are only two major halls of Pranya Hall and Bodhi Temple, which are not only for the purpose of testing the progress of the disciples, but also to show their own strength.
When these monks have been familiar with the basic martial arts of Longxin Temple, they must want to go further to practice the various stunts of Longxin Temple, so the next step is to choose to enter the Prajna Hall or Bodhi Temple.
As a warrior monk, he naturally wants to enter more masters, and the monthly exam is a show, and it is a means to recruit potential juniors of the Luohan Hall.
It's a pity that the current Prajna Hall is far less prosperous than the Bodhi Temple, and the number of masters in the Bodhi Temple has nearly doubled that of the Pradhi Temple.
Li Xuan nodded secretly in his heart, this is also natural, after all, the Bodhi Academy has more financial resources.
Combined with the many points he had recently received, Li Xuan had already understood at this moment the purpose of Master Blood Monk Yuangang sacrificing himself and sending him back to Longxin Temple.
When the Longxin Temple was founded, the Pranya Hall was responsible for the intensive study of all melee martial arts such as fists, palms and legs, while the Bodhi Temple was for the study of Buddhist blade weapons such as the sword ring, the Zen staff, and the vajra pestle.
However, hundreds of years later, there is no clear distinction between the Prajna Hall and the Bodhi Temple, and today one hall and one temple can study seventy-two stunts, and the difference is not in martial arts but in the concept of cultivating Buddhism.
Pranyatang inherits the fearless thoughts of the five ancestors, and what is important is to point directly to the hearts of the people, regardless of practice, no matter what kind of law is practiced, after all, it is true and comfortable to see the origin of the mind.
The Bodhi Monastery has always inherited the concept of the first Bodhi Monastery, and the two Buddhist verses of the Master of Divine Enlightenment are still hanging in front of the Bodhi Monastery today: Dedication to oneself can turn one's mind and recite the Buddha to eliminate the karma.
Both ideas and philosophies have a deep foundation and heritage, and the relationship of faint competition has lasted for hundreds of years!
It wasn't until the outbreak of the Blood Monk Yuangang Incident ten years ago that three of the five descendants of the first seat of the Prajna Hall were killed and one was injured, and only one Yuangang was completely demoted to an outcast, and since then the lineage of the Panruotang has been in jeopardy.
It is also difficult for the Buddha to control people's hearts, otherwise there would not be so many sects in Buddhism, some sects will disappear, and some will naturally become more and more prosperous.
When the outcast Yuangang was able to escape without being hunted down, it was the first master of the Prajna Hall who gave up his resistance, and in the following ten years, the practice of the Bodhi Monastery with the support of the royal family was widely spread all over the world.
Hold the name of the Buddha, develop bodhicitta and prove the truth, get rid of life and death, enter the holy and transcendent in this life, and achieve what you want.
To put it simply, the Buddhist philosophy of Bodhi Monastery is to recite the Buddha, as long as you can develop bodhicitta and recite the Buddha wholeheartedly, you will be able to avoid all kinds of bad karma, you will be able to achieve your wishes, and you will be able to live in bliss in the future.
This way of cultivating Buddhism has been supported by the vast majority of high-ranking officials and nobles, and the Bodhi Monastery has received financial support from many royal relatives and aristocratic officials, and it has become more and more prosperous.
The second seat of the Bodhi Monastery is even more business-minded, and has launched dozens of kinds of Buddha beads, such as holding the low-grade Shayue Bodhi Buddha beads, reciting a Buddha to get a hundredfold merit, holding the Vajra Bodhi Buddha beads, reciting a Buddha can get a thousand times the merit;
Many dignitaries and nobles are naturally happy, no matter how much sin karma they have accumulated, as long as we buy a string of Buddhist beads and take the time to recite a few times, we will naturally be fine.
These nobles believe in Buddhism, but also to separate levels from poor believers, I hold the Buddha beads and recite the merits of the Buddha, which is difficult for you to recite in your life!
In the long run, the Buddha will not be the Buddha!
Entrusted by others, loyal to people, since I came to this task world and received a lot of kindness from the master, then I must repay the master as much as possible, first of all, start with this monthly exam, and let others know how clever the vision of the blood monk Yuangang is!
Li Xuan tidied up his monk's robe, walked out of the meditation room with his head held high, and the promotion of his body talent gave him a strong self-confidence, and today he must make everyone stunned!
