"The ordained ones have come near. ”

Elder Fa Ming, the master of the ordination, called in a deep voice.

"Yes. Jiang Liu'er, who had his hands together, came to the seat of Elder Fa Ming, the master of the ordination.

Jiang Liu'er draped a gray cloth shirt on his left shoulder, revealing his fair and smooth shoulder on his right, at this time he looked thin, his head was bright, his head was just shaved with a layer of blue, but his eyes were bright, and there was a trace of firmness and wisdom in his eyes.

"Jiang Liu'er, when you were young, you received the novice vows at this temple, do you remember how many novice vows there are?" Elder Fa Ming asked.

"The disciple remembered that there are ten novice vows. Jiang Liu'er immediately replied.

"Today you will take bhikshu ordination, how many precepts are there for this bhikshu ordination?"

"Back to Master, there are two hundred and fifty bhikshu vows. Jiang Liu'er folded her hands and replied respectfully.

"These two hundred and fifty precepts have been explained to you just now, have you understood and memorized them all?" Elder Fa Ming asked again.

The disciple understood and remembered clearly. Jiang Liuer replied.

"Hmm. Elder Fa Ming nodded slightly.

"If you don't kill and don't kill, can you hold it today?" asked Elder Fa Ming solemnly, clasping his palms together.

"Yes. Jiang Liu'er immediately replied.

"If you don't steal and don't steal, can you hold it today?"

"Yes. ”

"Do your best and don't lie, can you hold it today?"

"Yes. ”

"If you don't drink alcohol, can you hold it today?"

"Yes. ”

"Do your best to live, don't be lewd, can you hold it today?"

......

At this moment, a beautiful goose-yellow shadow flashed behind a huge pillar in the ring hall, which turned out to be Li Rong'er.

Seeing that Elder Fa Ming was talking to Jiang Liu'er, Li Rong'er looked at Jiang Liu'er with a pair of phoenix eyes. Jiang Liu'er had a keen sense, and realized that there seemed to be someone behind him, so he turned his head slightly, and saw Li Rong'er who was a little pitiful and looked forward to it at a glance.

Although Elder Fa Ming was old, his eyes were like torches, and the afterglow of his eyes swept over a large pillar in the hall, and a goose-yellow slender figure flashed behind the pillar, and the elder suddenly suddenly realized in his heart: it turned out to be Miss Li Rong'er hiding behind the pillar.

Jiang Liu'er before meeting again looked a little absent-minded and unrelenting, and suddenly, Elder Fa Ming's heart felt a trace of annoyance, so he clasped his palms in his heart, looked at Jiang Liu'er with a cold face, and asked in a deep voice: "The two hundred and fifty precepts of the bhikshu are strict, and you must not be lazy, you must keep the precepts carefully." ”

In the hall, the monks saw that Jiang Liu'er had not been able to answer the question of Elder Fa Ming, the master of the ordination, so they whispered.

Elder Fa Ming glanced at the monks who were talking under the altar, so he asked Jiang Liu'er again.

"Do your best to live, don't be lewd, can you hold it today?"

In the face of Master's aggressive questioning, and then looking at the corner of the slender figure behind the column, Jiang Liuer was a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Elder Fa Ming coughed and raised his voice: "Do your best to live a long life, don't be lewd, can you hold it today?"

"Can... Hold. ”

A trace of struggle and trembling flashed in Jiang Liu'er's heart, and then she came back to her senses resolutely, but her voice was a little low and hoarse.

Li Rong'er behind the pillar heard the sentence "can hold", and was immediately disappointed, a mist in his eyes blurred his eyes, and in the haze, Jiang Liu'er's brother ran in a rape field with his hand, running but leaving his hand away, and gradually ran out of sight......

Behind the pillar, Li Rong'er, who was strong, could no longer bear the sorrow in her heart, and hid her face and sobbed and ran all the way out of the ring hall.

On the altar, hearing Jiang Liu'er's sentence of "can hold", Elder Fa Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

"Jiang Liu'er, every morning my Buddha disciples all have four views, one is the rarity of human life, the second is the impermanence of life and death, the third is the truth of cause and effect, and the fourth is the suffering of reincarnation. What's so wonderful about these four visualizations?"

"Back to Master, if you use these four views every day as a regular lesson in the morning, you can believe, make a vow, and practice, and strengthen your unrelenting Dao heart, and the disciples think that "the human body is rare" is the foundation of the four views. Jiang Liuer answered immediately.

"Exactly. My Buddha often said that there are nine kinds of difficulties in people, which are "the Fa-rectification is difficult to smell, the good teacher is difficult to meet, the human body is rare, the roots are difficult to have, the right vision is difficult to be born, faith is difficult to develop, it is difficult to be united, and it is difficult to be at ease." The Buddha once grabbed a handful of soil from the ground and said, "All living beings are like the earth and soil, and the human body is like the soil in my hands." He also said, "It is more difficult to obtain a human body than a blind turtle driftwood!" and the scriptures often say, "If you lose your body, you will never recover." "The human body is rare, like an epiphany. "These are all warnings to the world about the special and difficult nature of being a human being!"

"Jiang Liu'er, let me ask you, are you human?"

"Yes, I'm human!" Jiang Liu'er replied without thinking.

"What is human?" Elder Fa Ming asked in a deep voice.

"Back to Master's words, among the six realms – celestials, asuras, humans, beasts, hungry ghosts, hells – only people can be ordained, and the Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha's previous life, although he appeared in the six realms as a bodhisattva, eventually became a Buddha among people. The Buddha revealed to the world that human beings are as noble as the white lotus blossoming from the surface of the water, and that only human beings can realize from suffering and move towards the path of Bodhi. Although people are born in the world of five desires and dust, and their desires are bitter and bitter, because of this, we also have a transcendent heart, which is worth cherishing and thanking. In "The Treatise on Great Wisdom", it was also said: "Among all treasures, human life comes first." "Having a human body is the greatest treasure of all, and it makes people dare not waste their time. Now that you have a human body, you should really cherish it. ”

Elder Fa Ming was obviously very satisfied with Jiang Liu'er's answer, so he said, "Hmm, what you said is reasonable. The reason why human beings are more noble than other sentient beings is that they can become enlightened, keep their vows, practice, and embark on the pure path of bodhi. If a person goes to this world and dies without knowing any enlightenment, it will be like a rose that has never bloomed and withered. ”

"Jiang Liu'er, from now on, every morning when you get up, you ask yourself, "Am I human?", can you do it?"

"Yes. The disciples follow the Master's teachings. ”

"Jiang Liu'er, you come to the near and take the ordination for your teacher. Elder Faming smiled.

Jiang Liu'er walked up to Elder Fa Ming as he said, and Elder Fa Ming, the pre-ordination teacher, put his right hand on the top of Jiang Liu'er's head, and kept reciting Buddhist scriptures in his mouth......

After a while, Mo Ding's ordination was completed. Elder Fa Ming picked up a brand-new big red robe from a large tray beside him, and personally draped this brand-new big red robe on Jiang Liu'er's body, looking at Elder Fa Ming, who raised himself to grow up and put on a robe for himself today, Jiang Liu'er's eyes flashed with crystal tears.

"Jiang Liu'er, you don't have a legal name yet, do you? Elder Fa Ming, who had white eyebrows and was already old, said with a smile.

"Today, as a teacher, I will give you the Dharma name Xuanzang. ”

"Thank you Master for giving me the Dharma name, Nan Wu Amitabha!"

Jiang Liu'er, who was dressed in a big red robe, put his head together and hurriedly thanked him.
