Chapter 204 The Principle of Cutting Meat and Feeding Eagles

This little monk saw that the frog he often saw was so vainly dead, and he couldn't give up in his heart, and when he was about to speak again, suddenly a hoarse and kind voice came from behind him: "Huiming, what's wrong?"

The little monk Huiming looked back, but it was the abbot of Ci, and hurriedly shook it and said, "Abbot." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Abbot Ci walked towards them, and he glanced at Xiao Keran with kind eyes, and then said, "What's the matter? What are you doing here?"

Hui Ming said, "Abbot, Lord Xiao, where are they eating frogs here?"

Hearing this, Abbot Ci also frowned, and couldn't help but look at Xiao Keran.

Xiao Keran was surprised in his heart, he couldn't think of the arrival of Abbot Ci and he couldn't notice it for a while, I don't know if it was Abbot Ci's light work, or the sound of the water rumbling covered the footsteps of Abbot Ci, or because he was caught stealing other people's frogs, he was still a little confused.

But he hurriedly recovered his mind, and said to the abbot Ci: "Abbot, a few of us have been tired from traveling recently, and the two girls are even more haggard, and the younger generation saw that the frogs here were strong, so they had the courage to roast the ultimate frog for them to eat, and the younger generation remembered that in the ancient Buddhism, the Buddha cut the meat and fed the eagle and achieved the golden body and the positive fruit, and now the frog has also been able to transcend the bliss, and the abbot will not blame us, right?"

"Oh, how can I say that these frogs still have to thank you?" said Abbot Ci with some doubts.

Xiao Keran smiled innocently, he could hear the tone of "strong words" in Abbot Ci's words, and then said: "In fact, the younger generation thinks that it is not true, what cuts the meat to feed the eagle, what achieves the golden body and the positive fruit, that is just a myth, the younger generation is a mortal man naturally can't believe in me to believe this, the younger generation feels that this is to tell the world another story to persuade people to be kind, and stimulate people's deep good thoughts." so that men can do good!"

He knew that Abbot Ci knew a lot more than he knew in Buddhism, and the truth said in Buddhism did not need to be said by him and he understood much more deeply than himself.

"Oh?" Abbot Ci couldn't help but be interested, so he asked, "Then what are the principles of persuading people to be good here?" ”

Xiao Keran smiled slightly, and said: "Throughout the ages, there are naturally many literati and scholars who have commented on the Buddha's statement that the Lord cut meat and fed the eagle, although it is said that the Emperor of Heaven is a great deed that the Emperor of Heaven can endure and can endure in order to test the Bodhisattva, but there are also people who are moved by the great feelings of the Bodhisattva who will go to hell if I do not go to hell. At the same time, some people say that this is a kind of life as reckless, and human life is as worthless as pigs and dogs, but the younger generation also has some opinions of their own, if a person sees a pigeon's life in danger, his heart is benevolent, and he pities the pigeon and can't bear it to die, if this person really has such a bodhisattva heart, this person will naturally not kill people and set fires, and it will no longer be a problem to save the world and help the poor. Therefore, the younger generation thinks that the allusion of the Buddha cutting meat and feeding the eagle can also be extended to the fact that the beast kills too much, and there is no need to blink when killing. ”

"Amitabha. The abbot recited a Buddha name, and all living beings in his heart were suffering, and suddenly his heart was desolate.

Xiao Keran saw that Abbot Ci had a sad face. There was a feeling of intolerance in his heart, but it would be good if his words could offset the mistake of secretly roasting frogs to eat before, so he silently watched what Abbot Ci was going to say next.

"Then does Lord Xiao think what he did today is right or wrong?" Abbot Ci asked after a moment of silence.

Xiao Keran glanced at the frog meat in his hand and said, "The juniors just regard it as something to eat." There is no malice in the heart, and there is no evil in it, nor is it wasted at will. Therefore, the younger generation feels that there is no right or wrong. ”

"Amitabha. The abbot sighed again and said: "All beings are equal, and the Lord Xiao just regards it as a thing in the womb. ”

"Amitabha. Xiao Keran also recited a Buddha name, and said: "My Buddha is compassionate and pays attention to the equality of all beings, but all living beings can never be truly equal, just like this quiet Buddhist holy land, don't you also pay attention to the respect and humility of the young and the old, otherwise it will be messed up." ”

"Amitabha. The abbot said: "Respecting the old and loving the young is a kind of virtue, if you don't even have this kind of virtue, how can you do good and save people." ”

"What the master said is that the younger generation was young, and the grandmother once told a story to the younger generation, but there are some truths in it that the younger generation has not yet been able to comprehend, so I have always kept it in mind, I don't know if the master is willing to help the younger generation guide the maze?" Xiao Keran avoided saying something else.

"Lord Xiao said to listen. Abbot Ci said slowly.

"My grandmother said that one year there was a flood under the mountain, but a few of the little novices in the temple on the mountain went down the mountain to play, and when they came back, the old monk asked where the little novices had gone? ”

"Amitabha. When the abbot heard this, his face also changed, and he couldn't help but recite the Buddha's name.

Xiao Keran glanced at him, then ignored him and continued: "One of the little novices said: ' Due to the flood under the mountain, many villagers consciously floated on the water with a raft to see if there were survivors who could be rescued, as a result of a villager saw something moving on the water surface in the distance, it seemed to be a head, the villager saw that there were still living people, and did not think much about it and drove the boat over to prepare to save people, and found that although this is a head, but not the head of a living person, but a tiger of more than 200 catties, the tiger was flooded for many days, and the belly was even more hungry and unbearable, at this time saw a glimmer of life and immediately climbed to the boat, the villager could not dodge, and finally was bitten to death by the tiger, and the villagers next to him were angry, so they worked together to kill the tiger。 The old monk said this, and the old monk recited the Buddha's name again, but the little novice asked: "My Buddha does not want to kill, the villagers are alive, and the tiger is also alive, why does the tiger kill the villagers, and why do the other villagers kill the tiger?"

"Amitabha. The abbot of Lici read again, and said slowly: "Eliminating evil is promoting good, and the tiger is ferocious and vicious, and since he killed the person who saved him, he deserves this catastrophe." ”

"The tiger is a wise thing in the mountains and forests, and it has no choice but to be washed into the world by the flood. If the farmer sees a big insect infested and bites someone to death, it is not wrong to kill it, in the eyes of the tiger should not bite a person to death, but in the eyes of the tiger, the person who bites to death is only the food and clothing in its belly, and it is even more evil for people to kill it. Xiaoke Ran Lang Lang said, and asked, "The master doesn't know if what the junior said is right?"

"Amitabha. When is the time for retribution?"

"The idea of killing is born, karma is born, although killing the tiger is to eliminate evil for us, but this is still killing, but it can increase our killing intent, and it may still lead people to the abyss of sin, after all, if you can kill a tiger today, you can kill people in the Ming Dynasty. ”

Abbot Ci didn't object to Xiao Keran's idea, so he asked, "What is the high opinion according to the words of Lord Xiao?"

"The tiger returns to the mountains and forests without worrying about food. Naturally, it will not hurt people, if the people of the world have no worries about food and clothing, and have good hearts, how can they steal. If everyone in the world is like this, wouldn't it be peaceful and the world will be the same. ”

Hearing this, Abbot Ci and Monk Huiming were silent for a while. There seems to be a longing in my heart, the old have something to rely on, and the disease is cured. Pedestrians are harmonious, children are playing, and the road is not left behind, and the abbot of Lici suddenly asked: "Amitabha, Xiao Shi's opinion is much more clever than that of Lao Gao." He said that he would not pay attention to anything else, and turned to leave.

Hui Ming saw that the abbot no longer pursued Xiao Keran's matter, and he was very puzzled in his heart, but he didn't want to say anything, so he followed Abbot Ci and left.

Xiao Keran looked at the figure of Abbot Ci leaving, and was really relieved in his heart, he felt that there was nothing before he came here, but when he faced Abbot Ci, a crime of killing in the land of Buddhism was a big deal, and now that Abbot Ci left, he must not be held accountable, and he secretly screamed in his heart to be happy, and he lost his mind when he thought about it, and he couldn't help but pick up the frog meat in his hand and eat it.

"Hey, young master, what are you doing?" Ji Xiaoke noticed Xiao Keran's abnormality, and hurriedly reached out and grabbed Xiao Keran's wrist.

Xiao Keran couldn't help but smile, then squatted down and continued to roast frogs, and talked and laughed with the second daughter.

Ji Xiaoke suddenly said: "Young master, I didn't expect that you also have a lot of research on Buddhism, why didn't I know about it?"

"Actually, there is nothing, I just talk about it, if it is profound...... I'm afraid that I am only a superficial truth, but the abbot may not have heard of it, so it seems more novel to him. "Xiao Keran actually just said it casually, and I really don't know whether it's right or not.

"Abbot Lici is a high-ranking monk, I don't think he will come to us because of the frog, just think about it's really not good to eat frog meat in the Buddhist gate. Lu Jingrou thought of the appearance of Abbot Ci, and she was really a little afraid in her heart, if they really investigated it, it would be terrible.

"I don't think we've done a good job of doing it now, but now that we've done it, it's useless to regret it, and now I just hope that tonight will go smoothly. Xiao Keran said lightly.

"Didn't you make an appointment with the good Zen master to play at night?

Xiao Keran smiled: "Some things are actually better without how to do them, and some things are said too much to make people feel that they are covering up their crimes." ”

Hearing this, the two girls glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of incomprehension in each other's eyes, and suddenly they felt that Xiao Keran was very esoteric and incomprehensible, but they didn't say anything, since they came and were seen again, then don't be polite, just eat more roast frogs.

Several people talked for a long time, and played in the back mountain of Shaolin Temple, and only in the evening did they go back to the wings, and in the evening, the good Zen master was invited to Xiao Keran's room, Xiao Keran was overjoyed, regardless of whether Lu Jingrou and the two daughters wanted them to come over to watch the game between the two of them.

As long as Ji Xiaoke is accompanied by Xiao Keran, she naturally refuses to go anywhere, and Lu Jingrou is curious about what Xiao Keran is thinking, so she also follows Ji Xiaoke to Xiao Keran's guest room. (To be continued.) )
