Chapter 72: Where is Reincarnation?
Nine Lotus Mountains.
It is located in Hengdong City, Xiangnan Province, with an altitude of more than 2,000 meters.
The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the strange peaks are prominent, stretching for thousands of miles.
There are more than 200 temples, monasteries, nunnery, and temples in China.
Puhua Temple is located on the highest peak of Jiulian Mountain, the top of Yannan Peak.
The buggy was parked in the parking lot at the foot of the mountain, and the two brothers began their hiking journey.
Gao Yan did not take a trick, and walked up from the foot of the mountain to Puhua Temple step by step along the winding mountain road.
Worshipping the Buddha is about sincerity, and he intends to experience the whole path of the mind.
Gao Lan followed behind step by step, snorting and panting all the way, but there was no complaint.
The two brothers are about to separate, and they both cherish the rare time together.
Gao Yan didn't know how long it would take to turn around, and he didn't know the bottom in his heart.
Along the way, there are many people who go to the mountaintop temple to worship the Buddha and travel, and they greet the twin brothers warmly.
There was even a young lady who asked for a group photo and took a video together, and the Gao Yan brothers couldn't cry or laugh.
Puhua Temple is magnificent, the mountain gate is tall, and the incense is prosperous.
The little novice who swept the floor at the door was informed of the names of the two and hurriedly ran into the Buddhist hall in the hall.
After a while, an old monk and a few young monks quickly walked out of the Buddhist hall and came towards the gate.
"The little benefactor came from afar, and I welcome the two on behalf of the abbot and his brother, please inside"
Master Huizhi was full of smiles, he had a very good impression of Gao Yan, it would be better if there were a few more pots of spiritual tea.
"Masters, please!"
Gao Yan hurriedly returned the salute, took Gao Lan to follow behind a few people, and entered the meditation room on the side of the Daxiong Treasure Hall.
Jiang Ming and the three have returned to the team, Gao Yan knows it, and his friend is not there, so he can't help but feel a little regretful in his heart.
The meditation room is not large, with an arhat bed, a table, two chairs, and a few futons.
A painted Buddha image hangs on the wall, and an incense burner is in front of it.
A fat monk stands in front of the Buddha statue, holding a nine-ring iron Zen staff, with a chest and belly like Maitreya Buddha.
"Senior Brother Huixin, this is Gao Yan's little benefactor, this is his younger brother Gao Lan"
"Two little donors, please take a seat," Master Huixin's voice was thick and wide, full of magnetism.
Gao Yan was a little surprised in his heart, the abbot master looked like he was in his early fifties, tall and strong, and his qi and blood were extremely vigorous.
The Grandmaster Realm Ren Du has two veins, and after all, the head of the Chongxu Dao is over the age of the ancient, and his strength is still a little worse than Huixin.
Lying silkworm eyebrows, slender eyes, wearing an apricot yellow Baina monk robe, and a pair of thick-soled cloth shoes on his feet.
The most impressive thing is the two big ears, the earlobes are close to the shoulders, which is a deep blessing.
"Senior brother, two donors, you talk, let's say goodbye first" Huizhi folded his hands and left with a few little monks.
Hui Xin smiled and looked at the two of them a few times, "You have told me about Baimei, the world is really wonderful!"
Gao Yan smiled and said, "What the master said is that before the change, I couldn't believe that there was such a strange thing in the world."
"I look at the face of the donor, and I have a relationship with my Buddha, why don't I stay in the temple for a few more days, how about it?"
"If you have this intention in the next place, then you will disturb the master" The purpose of Gao Yan's trip is to learn Buddhist scriptures, so naturally he will not be polite.
"The old man took the two of them to the guest room to rest, and went to deal with a little chores first, and we'll talk about it later."
"It's all up to the master's arrangement" Gao Yan bowed, and Gao Lan hurriedly followed suit.
Puhua Temple Rooms.
Gao Lan stayed for a while, couldn't bear the loneliness, said hello, and ran out to wander around and play.
Gao Yan shook his head when he saw this, and simply went out to visit around to see what kind of scene the Buddhist temple was.
The Daxiong Treasure Hall enshrines the statues of the Buddha and several Bodhisattvas under the seat, with six golden bodies, and the treasure is solemn.
There is a statue of Guanyin Dashi in the main hall on the right, and there is a red child and a little dragon girl next to it, and the door is a statue of Vedic God.
On the left is enshrined the Buddha Miller, laughing with his mouth open, caressing his belly, extremely festive, with a couplet next to it.
A big belly can tolerate it, and the world can't tolerate it!
Laugh always, laugh at the ridiculous people in the world!
Gao Yan was also infected, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, the sea was tolerant of all rivers, and it was a true portrayal of thousands of years of Chinese civilization.
"It seems that the little benefactor also likes Miller Buddha," Master Huixin appeared beside him at some point.
Gao Yan smiled and nodded, "Buddhism does have its own uniqueness, and I admire it very much."
"It is very gratifying that the donor has this intention, and the old man is willing to help you"
"Thank you, Master, these good men and women are here to burn incense and worship the Buddha, what do you want?"
Seeing many people in the temple kneeling in front of the Buddha to burn incense and kowtow, chanting words in their mouths, Gao Yan wondered.
"Living in the world, eating grains and grains, it is inevitable to have selfish thoughts, seeking wealth, seeking lust and good luck, and so on."
Gao Yan nodded and said yes, will the Buddha really satisfy these selfish distractions? .
What if it's a suspicious person?
As if reading through his thoughts, Master Huixin said.
"People with evil intentions are very wrong to think that they can escape karma in this way, and they just want peace of mind."
"What the master said is true, only seek peace of mind! But how many people in the world can really have a clear conscience?"
"Hehe, the words of the little donor imply Zen opportunity, and it really has a fate with my Buddha"
There is a fate to say, the benevolent see the benevolent, the wise see the wise, Gao Yan did not take it to heart.
"I came to visit this time, I want to borrow the Buddhist scriptures of your temple, I wonder if I can agree to the request?"
"No problem, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of Puhua Temple is famous all over the world, and there are a large number of Buddhist scriptures, which should be able to meet the wishes of the donor."
"Thank you to the master for your success, the courtesy is still exchanged, and please accept the little care of the master"
Master Huixin was about to open his mouth to refuse, but suddenly stopped, Gao Yan's hand was a hand bone joint as white as jade.
"Buddha bone relics!"
As a Buddhist monk, how can he not know? Master Huixin took it with both hands, looked at it carefully, and looked happy.
"There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, and the old man is in the same place" The master folded his hands.
Gao Yan smiled slightly, even the great monks who have cultivated to a high level still have greed, let alone the world?
Isn't that the case like this? Treating others with oneself is just 50 steps and 100 steps of laughter.
Cultivate the Tao and cultivate this life, worship the Buddha and seek the next life!
The two families of Taoism and Buddhism have their own needs, and the same is true of everything in the world.
The divine thought was swept over, and the younger brother was still wandering around the top of the mountain, bidding farewell to the master, and Gao Yan went straight to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
In the scripture pavilion, the bookshelves are full of Buddhist classics.
There are all kinds of materials and all kinds of words, but Gao Yan doesn't understand Sanskrit, so he can only give up with regret.
Diamond Sutra, Heart Sutra, Lengyan Sutra, Boyaprami Heart Sutra, Lotus Sutra, Amitayus Sutra
Gao Yan flipped through them one by one, indulging in the sea of Buddhist scriptures.
If you don't understand something, you will record it and leave it for the abbot to explain his doubts, but there are many commentaries on these Buddhist scriptures, which is difficult for him.
The more I looked, the greater the doubts in my heart, what exactly is Buddhism cultivating?
The sins and sufferings of this life are all the sins and karma created in previous lives!
Buddhist scriptures say that it is a cycle of cause and effect, and the cultivation is good fortune in the next life, but is there really a past life and an afterlife in the world?
In ancient times, there was a saying that there were six reincarnations, but now, where are the six reincarnations?
What is the role of the six realms of reincarnation?
