After walking around three streets in a row, the stone monkey remembered that he had come to participate in the Bon Festival, and now he should rush to the Yuanyuan Shrine. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The stone monkey said embarrassedly to the Iron Fan Princess, "Sister-in-law, I'm really sorry! Please also ask your sister-in-law to lead the way, let's go to Yuanyuan Jingshe!"

Princess Iron Fan smiled: "It's okay! It's okay! Someone will come to meet us. Anyway, we are all their guests, so what is the gift of the host not welcoming the guests?"

As soon as Princess Tiefan's words fell, she saw a big monk with two small monks walking over.

The great monk saluted to the princess of the iron fan and the stone monkey and said, "Amitabha! My Buddha sent us to greet the two distinguished guests, and asked the two distinguished guests to move to the guest rooms of the Yuanyuan Monastery for a while. ”

The Iron Fan Princess replied: "The master is polite! I am an old friend of Sariputta, and I have not seen Sariputta for hundreds of years, and I miss it very much, and I ask the master to take us to meet Sariputta immediately! Maybe we can help Sariputta at that time, even if it is to help run errands." ”

The great monk bowed again and said, "In that case, I will take two distinguished guests to my Buddha's place! ”

While leading the way in front, the great monk also enthusiastically introduced: "Amitabha! ”

The stone monkey spent a lot of money on the Iron Fan Princess just now, and now he heard that a local tyrant bought a garden to dedicate to the Buddha, and couldn't help asking: "How much did the elder spend on the garden where the prince died for loneliness?"

The great monk smiled and said, "The land of gold is covered with gardens!"

Hearing this, the stone monkey couldn't help but be stunned, covering the ground with gold, it was really an inch of land and a piece of gold! How much does it cost to convert this land price into RMB per square meter!

The stone monkey asked, "What do you say about the death of the prince?"

The great monk replied: "Amitabha! The prince passed away because he felt the sincerity of the elders to worship the Buddha in solitude, so he dedicated all the trees in the garden to my Buddha! 'Yuan' refers to the death of the prince. ”

At this time, the Iron Fan Princess asked, "Then how is the construction of the Yuanyuan Essence House now?"

The great monk said, "Amitabha! Hundreds of houses and dormitories have been built, in addition to the auditorium, lecture hall, assembly hall, recuperation room, washroom, recitation room, storage room, sports field, and general meeting hall, etc., have also been built, and only the impermanence temple in the northwest corner has not yet started. These are the main part of the construction. There will be decoration, decoration and so on. ”

The stone monkey couldn't help but smack his tongue when he heard this! This is a fine house? It is clear that it is a group of villas! This scale is about to catch up with the Forbidden City!

The princess of the iron fan also sighed: "If this Yuanyuan Jingsha is built, it will be even better than the palace of the Miluo Kingdom that I have seen! No wonder the Buddha sent Sariputta to supervise the construction!"

Now that she heard that the Yuanyuan Monastery was almost completed, the Iron Fan Princess said again: "It seems that I am late, and I can't help Sariputta if I go now!

The great monk replied: "Amitabha! The people of the Acropolis have the heart of the Buddha, and they all have great respect for the construction of the Yuanyuan Monastery!

"What are you debating?" the stone monkey asked curiously.

The great monk continued: "The elder gave the lonely Buddha his sincerity to dislike some of the outsiders in the city, and the outsiders were jealous of the spread of my Dharma, so they wanted to hold a debate with my Sariputa to argue with my Buddha so that the lonely elder could wake up. ”

"And what happened?" asked the stone monkey.

The great monk smiled and said, "My Buddha Sariputta is very happy to accept the invitation of the outer way to debate, thinking that this is a great opportunity to preach my Dharma, so that the outer path can agree on the time and place, face many foreign leaders alone, and finally return victorious." The outer Tao was also convinced, and under the guidance of my Buddha Sariputta, he took refuge in my Buddha seat!"

Hearing this answer, the stone monkey couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart. Before, the stone monkey still had the luck mentality of losing the Sariputta debate, and it seemed that he still thought too much. This will be a holy place for Buddhism in the future, how can such unfavorable things be allowed to happen?

After a few people talked, they came to the Yuanyuan Essence House.

Although most of the main parts of the current Yuanyuan Cottage have been built, they have not been decorated, and they are just rough houses! Therefore, there is nothing beautiful to speak of, only grandeur! Countless workers are busy in it. But the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, the forests are lush and the flowers are fragrant, and the scenery is the best.

The great monk pointed to the Yuanyuan Monastery and said: "There is a lot of noise here, and I also ask two distinguished guests to take a detour with me, my Buddha Sariputta is at the site of the Impermanence Monastery at the moment." ”

So the group turned around and went to the site of the Impermanence Courtyard.

The further he went, the less sunlight he felt, at first he thought it was an illusion, but after a while he thought it was the sun obscured by dark clouds, and finally the sunlight was completely gone.

The stone monkey couldn't help but look around in confusion.

The great monk saw the stone monkey's doubts, so he explained: "Daylight is impermanent, and there should be a sick person." ”

After saying this, the great monk didn't explain anything more, and then led the way in front of himself.

Of course, the stone monkey didn't understand what this meant at all, and only felt that it was very esoteric. Seeing that the great monk didn't want to speak, he temporarily suppressed his doubts. I just thought to myself: It would be nice to ask Sariputta when the time comes!

Bald head and white eyebrows, sackcloth, barefoot, holding prayer beads, with words in his mouth, infinite wisdom in his eyes, and a quiet and serene expression. This was the first impression of the stone monkey when he saw Sariputta.

I saw Sariputta saluting to the Iron Fan Princess and the stone monkey and said, "Welcome to the Yuanyuan Retreat!"

The stone monkey followed the princess of the iron fan and hurriedly returned the salute.

The Iron Fan Princess said, "I've seen Sariputta! I miss it for a long time!"

The stone monkey also said: "The stone monkey of Dongsheng Shenzhou's Aolai country has seen Sariputta!"

After the salute, the stone monkey changed back again.

Sariputta replied, "Not long ago, when I heard the Buddha give a lecture, he mentioned the stone monkey benefactor. The Buddha said: There are five immortals in Zhou Tian, who are gods, men and ghosts in heaven and earth, there are five insects, which are scales and feathers, and there are four monkeys in the mixed world, which do not belong to the ten categories and do not reach the name of two. Now the Lingming stone monkey has been born, and there is a great merit of great creation, and the body is a Buddha, and it can finally fulfill the grand wish of the earth. I didn't expect that today I would see the Lingming Stone Monkey before the Buddha! Dare to ask the stone monkey donor, have you ever seen the Jizo King Bodhisattva in hell?"

Listening to Sariputta mention the four monkeys in the mixed world, the stone monkey thought of the real and false Monkey King, that is, the six-eared macaque. It seems that the six-eared macaque was finally killed by Sun Wukong with a stick.

Hearing Sariputta say that he would eventually fulfill the grand wish of Jizo, the stone monkey thought of the Jizo King's Hell and swore not to become a Buddha, could it be that he wanted to empty the hell? Think about himself, he didn't seem to have that ability, but that day in the hell, the Jizo King had something to ask for his help, but he didn't say what it was, and said that the time had not yet come!

The stone monkey replied to Sariputta's question, "I did see King Jizo in hell! ”

Sariputta continued: "I didn't expect the King of the Earth to teach the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra to the stone monkey donor! ”

The stone monkey couldn't help but wonder, "Why did Sariputta say that?"

Sariputta did not immediately answer the stone monkey's question, he first looked far away, and then recited the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra with his back to the stone monkey and the Iron Fan Princess, and pondered for a long time, and then said: "The Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra is the essence of the more than 300 volumes of the Prajnaparamita Sutra, although it is only more than 260 words, but it occupies an important position in the many Buddhist scriptures of more than 20,000 volumes and more than 300 million words compiled by the Venerable Doom. 'Prajna' means supreme wisdom, and 'paramita' means 'crossing', that is, crossing to the other shore with supreme wisdom. The Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra tells people what the world is like and what we are like in this world. It's not about comforting or admonishing people what to do, or calming people down. It just wants to tell people what is the root cause behind your mood swings! The Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra is a daily lesson that the Buddha and other Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and other Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and other people who have attained true fruits, either reciting, transcribing, or meditating......"

With Sariputta's explanation, the stone monkey's heart couldn't help but echo with the verses of the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra, and he forgot for a long time......

The words of less than 300 words actually caused the stone monkey's mind to be turbulent, and it seemed that it had drifted out of his body and overflowed from the top of his head......

Princess Iron Fan and Sariputta stood aside, protecting the stone monkey who had entered the epiphany from being disturbed, and looked at the various appearances of the stone monkey gathering at the top of the three flowers, and their eyes were full of surprise.

On the top of the stone monkey's head rises three colors of energy, and these three colors contain all kinds of things. There is a golden light born in the void, not like the three colors of the qi, there is a color qi out of the air, turning into a golden body of the Buddha. The Buddha recited the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra cross-legged, and with each word recited, a golden flower bloomed. The golden flower turned into a lotus platform and supported the Buddha. Eventually, the lotus platform turned into a golden lotus, and the Buddha was like a stamen.

Sariputta looked at the three-colored aura and said to the Iron Fan Princess: "I didn't expect the stone monkey benefactor to obtain the true inheritance of the Buddha, Taoism, and Confucianism!

The Iron Fan Princess replied: "I don't know about this, I only know that the little brother of the stone monkey is conceived from the colorful divine stone left by the great god Nuwa to mend the sky, and enjoy the merit of mending the sky!

Seeing that the princess of the iron fan didn't know, Sariputta no longer dwelled on this question, and instead sighed: "No wonder the Buddha said that the stone monkey donor is a Buddha, and a copy of the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra will make the stone monkey donor reach the realm of three flowers! It seems that the stone monkey donor also has a large world in his heart, and his knowledge of the world has far exceeded ours!"

Princess Iron Fan didn't answer, but she was amazed in her heart: The little brother of the stone monkey has only practiced for more than 300 years, and now he has reached the realm of the three flowers gathering at the top! No wonder the husband often sighs that he is far inferior to the little brother of the stone monkey. The gods and Buddhas of the heavens are only the great gods of the beginning of antiquity, and the great gods and Buddhas of Shakyamuni can be compared with the stone monkeys!

But at the same time, Princess Iron Fan couldn't help but worry about the stone monkey. This is because those who have great creations and who are favored by heaven and earth must have their mission! Whether or not they can achieve positive results in the end depends on their personal perseverance.

Sariputta looked at the stone monkey and finally thought of how to build this impermanent courtyard, so he turned to the great monk who was guarding the side and said: "Build a hall in the impermanence courtyard, decorated with silver, and build a platform in the four corners to place eight bells, four silver, and four pears. When the sick hear the sound and get rid of suffering, they will be cool and happy, as if they are born in the Pure Land of the Three Meditations. ”

When the stone monkey came back from the epiphany, he knew that he had finally reached the realm of the three flowers, and he couldn't help but be secretly happy that he would finally live up to the cultivation of the Bodhi Patriarch. Now it's the same as the ancestor.

Seeing that Princess Iron Fan was still guarding the side, the stone monkey couldn't help but immediately grateful: "Thank you sister-in-law for protecting the Dharma for your little brother!"

Princess Iron Fan hurriedly picked up the stone monkey and said, "Little brother the stone monkey, this is polite, isn't it? ”

Even so, the stone monkey saluted the princess of the iron fan again, and then asked, "Sister-in-law, I don't know how long it took for the little brother to have an epiphany?"

Princess Iron Fan smiled and said, "Little Brother Stone Monkey don't worry too much! Your epiphany only took one day, and there are still two days enough for us to rush to Mount Meru, so we won't be late! ”

Hearing the words of the Iron Fan Princess, the stone monkey was relieved, and looked around......

When Princess Iron Fan saw the stone monkey looking around, she said, "In the afternoon, the elder asked Sariputta for help in the lonely matter, and Sariputta left first. ”

The stone monkey couldn't help but say with some regret: "I haven't thanked Sariputta for explaining the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra to me! ”

Princess Iron Fan said with a smile: "Sariputta knew before he left that the little brother of the stone monkey would look for him to thank him, so he deliberately left a message: The stone monkey donor does not need to be polite! I also hope that the donor will not forget the kindness of the Bodhisattva of the King of Jizo, and when the time is ripe, please help him become a Buddha. The Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra still needs to be recited every day before it can attain positive results!"

When the stone monkey heard this, he said, "The stone monkey is here to thank the teachings of Sariputta, not forgetting the kindness of the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth, and reciting the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra every day in the future." ”

When the stone monkey finished speaking, the princess of the iron fan said, "Let's rush to Mount Meru! ”

The stone monkey asked, "Then don't Sariputta go to Mount Meru?"

The Iron Fan Princess replied, "Sariputta was instructed by the Buddha to build a Yuanyuan Monastery here, and he can't leave it easily! ”
