After eating the feast given by Qian Hongyu, it was time for us to leave Yongming Temple, and after the master told the monks of Yongming Temple a scripture, he stayed alone in the meditation room and did not see anyone.

Although the monk is a monk, he claims to cut off the seven emotions and six desires, and is not surrounded by the mundane world, but the monk is also a human being, not a Buddha. It has not yet reached the point where the golden body is made for the believers to kneel and worship and worship. As long as you are a human being, it is impossible not to be emotional, let alone the feelings that have been in Yongming Temple for more than ten years.

When the master didn't see everyone, he didn't want to disturb the purity of Yongming Temple and be contaminated with the dust of the world. Yongming Temple has been silent in an indescribable atmosphere for the past few days, as if there is a faint parting sentimentality, but the monks still live normally to visit the Buddha, and they seem to have no sorrow or joy.

The successor of Yanshou, the new abbot of Yongming Temple, has taken office, is an old monk of the same generation as Yanshou, who has been in charge of the affairs of the Vinaya Institute and the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion before, and is very authoritative in the temple, and all the monks are convinced.

The day before I left, the master didn't arrange anything for me, it was a holiday. When I used to practice martial arts, I always complained in front of him that I had come to Hangzhou for so long but didn't have time to have a good time. At this moment, when he was parting, he arranged it this way to give me a chance to travel to the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou.

At this point, I don't even have the heart to wander around. No matter how good the scenery of Hangzhou is, it's just a dead thing, I'm leaving, it doesn't matter if I see it or not. It's Yongming Temple, and I really haven't really walked through it seriously.

After staying in Yongming Temple for a long time, I always feel that I have a little bit of Buddha energy. Although I still don't like to read the scriptures, when I look at the Buddhas enshrined in the halls, I always feel that they are smiling at me. Before leaving, I lit incense for the Buddhas and worshiped reverently. Although it is not very reliable to ask for the Buddha, I still pray that the Buddha will bless my second brother Shui Invisible to recover as soon as possible, my eldest brother Yin Amei will live happily on Peach Mountain, Mu Chu will stop hating me, Qin Luo is obsessed with Aiqing, and my master will prolong his life and be healthy.

After worshipping the Buddhas from all walks of life, I read all the lessons of the words and tablets left by the master. After spending all morning, Zuihou suddenly remembered the peach tree in the master's courtyard, and he didn't have a chance to eat the fruit of the peach tree in the future, so he couldn't help but walk towards his courtyard.

When I walked to the master's Zen courtyard, I saw a lot of senior brothers and disciples crowded in the courtyard, hoping that the master would be on their side, and I was a little sentimental.

The master's closed door was gone, which cast a faint layer of sadness on everyone's hearts. In Yongming Temple, except for the master and Daofan, I don't know much about other people, but I want the master to practice Buddhism for decades, Yongming Temple is prosperous because of him, and then major in Lingyin Temple, build Liuhe Pagoda, and give grace to the people of Wuyue.

As a monk of Yongming Temple, there is a sense of pride in everyone's hearts, and now, their spiritual leader is leaving, but he doesn't say a word, although it has not chilled everyone's hearts, but it is more or less a pity.

"Master, you can leave a message for all the brothers and sisters. I couldn't stand it anymore and shouted into the house, but there was no response for a long time.

"Master, if you're not there, if you're here, you can answer me. ”

Before there was a sound, at this time, a little monk of five or six years old pulled the corner of my clothes and whispered to me: "Senior brother, senior brother, maybe Master Yanshou is asleep, we should not stand here, it will affect his rest." ”

What kind of sleep does the big daylight get, and I haven't heard that Yanshou has the habit of napping, I looked at the little guy, he is distressed about Yanshou, I touched his little brain melon seeds, but I don't remember what his name is, so I had to say: "Little junior brother, if the master comes out, what do you want to tell him?"

The little monk thought for a while, and said cautiously: "I ....... I want to tell Master Yanshou to take care of his body, and then remember to miss us." ”

The child is innocent, cute, whatever he thinks in his heart is what, it's a small request, but Yanshou really listened to such sensational words, and probably responded with silence.

The person who prolongs his life belongs to the cold-faced and hot-hearted type, even if he is moved in his heart, he will not show it easily, he has been with him for so long, and I have never seen what he looks like when he is excited.

"If the master doesn't come out to meet people, then I will convey your words to the master, and the master will be very happy to hear it. Little junior brother, you have to take care, the tomorrow of Yongming Temple is on you. ”

"Senior brother, Xiexie, you, I will work hard to follow the master to recite the scriptures. The little monk blushed and nodded heavily at me.

I was tempted to touch his little bald head again, but just then, the master's door creaked open. I saw my master, who had been closed for a day, standing at the door, holding a rosary and smiling.

"Master Abbot, please give us a few words. ”

"Yes, please ask the abbot master to teach me. ”

Seeing Yanshou appearing, all the monks were very excited, and asked him to say a few words to everyone, and I also complied with everyone's wishes and said: "Master, you can teach the brothers and sisters." ”

Yanshou did not rush to speak, but stretched out his right hand and blocked his face with his sleeve. I know that the master was in tears, but he didn't want everyone to see it. It's not hypocrisy, but I don't want my departure to bring more sentimentality to the temple.

Drying away his tears, the master walked up to the cute little monk and reached out to hug him, "Xuyuan, after I'm gone, you can't be naughty anymore." ”

"Master Yanshou don't worry, Xuyuan will be very obedient, but Master Yanshou will miss me. Xiao Xuyuan, who was in Yanshou's arms, looked a little restrained.

Yanshou smiled and tidied up the placket of Xuyuan, "I will miss you, but you can't think of me in Xuyuan, what you want to think about in your heart is Buddha, it is a wish, it is a farther distance, it is the pure land on the other side." ”

Xuyuan didn't understand it, but Zuihou nodded heavily. Yanshou put him down, and then turned to the monks and said: "The Buddha has no home, because the world is his home, and the Buddha has no seven emotions and six desires, because the suffering of all beings is tied to **." The Buddha said that the Pure Land is the other side, and Yongming Temple is just a corner of your practice. The method of cultivation should be to look at the world, be at ease, and not be obsessed. ”

After the master finished speaking, he turned back to the house again, and did not close the door or let everyone leave. This is the first time he Zuihou said Buddha in front of the monks of Yongming Temple, and he will no longer have a chance in the future.

After listening to the teachings of longevity, some of them immediately turned around and left, and some of them thought about it and walked away slowly, and gradually the people gathered in the courtyard dispersed.

I looked at the peach trees in the yard, the ripe peaches had been picked, and only three or two old leaves were hanging.

Before the bell rang in the morning, Yanshou called Dao Fan early to wake me up. I got dressed sleepily and walked out into the courtyard, where Yanshou was already standing, and Dao Fan was looking at me with his burden.

The burden is filled with the painstaking work of many years of longevity, and there are some treasured scriptures, some of which are said to have been brought back from Tianzhu by Master Xuanzang when he traveled west.

I looked at Dao Fan's appearance, and then looked at the equipment for longevity extension, and in a trance I seemed to think that this was Tang Seng and Monk Sha, and I was Sun Monkey, but I didn't know where the second senior brother of Bajie was?

I know that this is preparing to go, but I am really leaving, and it is inevitable that I am a little uncomfortable, so I can't help but ask Yanshou: "Master, are we really going to leave?"

Yanshou pointed to the burden beside Daofan and said, "You pick." ”

I looked at the heavy two baskets of scriptures, and it was a matter of human life.

In July and August, it dawned early, so we didn't go to the main gate, but went up the back hill and headed towards the side gate. When he walked to the Xiang Ji Kitchen, Yanshou walked in and stood in front of the Yunmu Well.

Dao Fan knew the intention of prolonging life, hurriedly stepped forward, picked up a bucket of water from the well and put it in front of prolonged life. Yanshou stretched out his hands, picked up a handful of water, and drank it.

"Daoxi, do you want to have some?"

"Yes, master. ”

I stepped forward, picked up a handful of water, and drank it. It's still so sweet and refreshing.

"Daoxi, do you say there is something in this well?"

I don't know what it means to prolong my life and mention the well things I said when I first met him, and I don't know how to say it for a while. Yanshou walked to the well and said: "There is something in the well, there is nothing in the well, but the well is still here, we wait to visit the Buddha, do not be surrounded by external objects, there are things and nothing, they are not in my heart, should be like this wooden well, do not move or read, just see that the well water is sweet as usual." ”

After speaking, Yanshou no longer remembered and strode towards the door.

I don't know if the people in the temple noticed that we were leaving, but I think they will also remember that there was once such a noble monk in Yongming Temple, who lit up the sky of the entire Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Zen Gate.

"Master, do you think we will come back in the future if we leave like this?" I was actually quite reluctant to leave, mainly because I was not very interested in Tiantai Mountain. As soon as you hear the name of that place, you know that it must be a deep mountain and old forest, an inaccessible place. Staying in that place with two monks who don't talk about "love and righteousness", I was afraid that I would have something wrong with myself after a long time.

"Daoxi, Tiantai Mountain is a place for teachers to become monks, and it is just right for you to sneak and practice martial arts, don't say anything more. ”

Thinking carefully about being seen through by the extension of life, I didn't want to ask again, followed behind Daofan's buttocks, and walked forward silently. If you go to Tiantai Mountain, you can go to Tiantai Mountain, anyway, staying in Yongming Temple is also facing these two monks who have no fun all day long, and I have long been used to it.

Farewell, Yongming Temple, farewell, Hangzhou, farewell, my earthly world.

The words at the end of the curl are red and dusk, the storm is gone, the geese go with the clouds and mist with the wind, and the red dust is like a dream. The sword light and sword shadow flowed, and the blood rain and bloody wind passed by. The sky is getting brighter, and returning to the forest is leisure.
