Elder Fajing said slowly: "Fa Jue, the disciples of the Discipline Hall, those who violate the precepts, punish them with the law, I will never be partial, you should not be impatient." The Buddha said: guard against arrogance and rashness. ”

"Yes, follow my brother's teachings. Fajue's face was hot, and he bowed down to answer.

Elder Fajing looked at Jiang Liu'er and said slowly, "Senior Brother Fajue, is there a precept for the Three Purifications of Flesh on the Vinaya of this temple?"

"Senior brother abbot, no, Jiang Liu'er is pure nonsense. ”

Elder Fajing looked at Jiang Liu'er, his tone was calm and soothing, with a faint hint of inquiry: "Jiang Liu'er, what is the Three Pure Meats?"

"Uncle Abbot, Master once told me that there are a total of twelve scriptures in the "Law Collection", and only four of them have been introduced into my Tang Dynasty, and these four "Law Collection" are only in the Hongfu Temple in Chang'an City, and the "Law Collection" in our Jinshan Temple is only one of the translations, and many places in the translation are not perfect. The four monks are empty, abstain from alcohol, lust and wealth, and abstain from killing, but in fact, they do not abstain from eating meat. Jiang Liu'er spoke calmly and leisurely.

Fa Jue was furious in his heart, and scolded: "Jiang Liu'er, monks who quit drinking and meat are all the same in ancient and modern times, you are untrustworthy and despicable in nature, which is really a great rebellion. Senior Brother Abbot, please order Jiang Liu'er to be beaten out of the precept hall, otherwise he will talk nonsense, disrespect my Buddha, and even insult and kill my pious disciples. Fajue's eyes were blazing with rage.

Jiang Liu'er said: "Uncle Abbot, last month, Master took me to Chang'an Hongfu Temple to see Master Fazheng, and asked to transcribe the four original scriptures of the Vinaya, but Master Fazheng politely refused. However, he promised the master that he could borrow books in the temple. I followed Master and in one day, I read the four Vinaya scriptures, a total of 32 volumes. ”

After reading four scriptures and thirty-two volumes in one day?

Fa Jue saw that Jiang Liu'er was still bold and open-mouthed, and he couldn't wait to immediately rush up and punish him with a stick.

Elder Fajing was overjoyed and said with a smile: "What about the four scriptures? Have you and Senior Brother Faming written them silently?"

"Uncle Abbot, the disciple has all completed the four scriptures silently, and when the master comes back to proofread again, he can submit it to the abbot Uncle for inspection, our Jinshan Temple's Tibetan Scripture Pavilion will be the temple with the most complete "Vinaya" after Chang'an Hongfu Temple. Jiang Liuer said with a smile.

Fajing clasped his hands together and said solemnly: "Amitabha, Jiang Liu'er, you have made a great contribution to the development and growth of this temple, and Uncle Shi thanks you for your efforts." ”

Jiang Liu'er also folded her hands and said humbly: "Uncle Abbot, Jiang Liu'er grew up in Jinshan Temple since she was a child, Jinshan Temple is my home, and Master is my relative, I should do my best to do my best for Jinshan Temple." ”

Fajue and the monks of the Precept Hall looked at each other's answers in amazement.

Fa Jing's expression became happy, and he smiled at Fa Jue: "Senior brother, Jiang Liu'er is talented, his memory is amazing, he never forgets, the five talents are unmatched, all the books in the temple's scripture pavilion, he actually read them all half a year ago and comprehended them, I and Senior Brother Fa Ming once tested with him, in the Discussion Hall, I and Senior Brother Fa Ming interrogated Jiang Liu'er, which lasted three days and three nights, and finally, I joined hands with Senior Brother Fa Ming to discuss Buddhism, and lost to Jiang Liu'er. This is also the reason why Senior Brother Faming and I have always spoiled him. He usually has a lot of amazing words, but it's not that he doesn't say anything, but you can't understand the profound Zen meaning of his words. ”

"Senior brother, I, I, I really can't understand!" Fajue and the precept monks were all taken aback, and everyone changed color.

Although Jinshan Temple is a small temple, there are still thousands of volumes of scriptures in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and this Jiang Liuer has already read all the scriptures half a year ago and understood them thoroughly?

How is this possible?

Fajue made several ahhhh

All the monks in the precept hall looked at Jiang Liu'er in amazement.

The abbot elder Fajing sighed and said slowly: "Jiang Liu'er is a Buddhist son given to Jinshan Temple by God, but unfortunately my Jinshan Temple is too small, and I am stupid and unable to teach Jiang Liu'er more profound Buddhism. Jiang Liu'er has been a Buddha since childhood, and after reading the scriptures, he already understands it, and he doesn't need me and Elder Fa Ming to guide and explain his doubts. On the contrary, I have been thinking hard about difficult problems for many years, but I have been prompted by Jiang Liu'er's words to make the meaning clear. ”

The entire precept hall was extremely quiet, and everyone could hear their own heavy breathing.

"Elder Fa Ming believes that we should give Jiang Liu'er greater and better development space, which is also the fundamental reason why we have not shaved Jiang Liu'er in Jinshan Temple, with his talent, he should go to Hongfu Temple in Chang'an City to become a monk, worship under the door of Master Fazheng, and attain the Arhat Dao Fruit. ”

Tang Kingdom, Chang'an Hongfu Temple is known as the first temple in the world, the master of Fazheng in the temple, Bo Gu Tong Jin, known as the world's first monk. There are tens of thousands of scriptures in the Tibetan scripture pavilion in Hongfu Temple, and the Buddhist scriptures are known for their rigor.

"Senior Brother Fajue, all the disciples of the Discipline Hall, today I told Jiang Liu'er's secret because I have discussed it with Senior Brother Fa Ming, and decided to send Jiang Liu'er to Chang'an Hongfu Temple to be ordained as a monk, so that he can worship under Master Fazheng. I think Jiang Liuer must be a Buddhist monk from all over the world, and the monk should stay in the first temple in the world to study Buddhism and cultivate the supreme Tao. ”

Fajue's heart was shocked, and he was speechless for a while.

"Uncle Abbot, after Jiang Liuer's junior brother shaved in my temple, he can be sent to Chang'an Hongfu Temple to study, and when he returns, he will make my Jiangzhou Jinshan Temple carry forward and become famous in the world. A precept monk said with his hands folded.

"Uncle Abbot, Jiang Liuer will never go to Chang'an Hongfu Temple to shave as a monk, I am a monk of Jinshan Temple, I want to shave, I will only be in Jinshan Temple. The Buddhist master I want to take refuge in will always be Elder Fa Ming. Jiang Liu'er said calmly, her tone was unquestionable.

Elder Fajing clasped his hands together and whispered, "Amitabha!"

Elder Fajue couldn't help it, he was a straightforward person, daring to act, knowing that mistakes can be changed, loving and cherishing talents, and immediately said: "Senior Brother Abbot, I see that Jiang Liu'er is sincere, let's let him be shaved in Jinshan Temple." ”

Elder Fajing was silent.

Elder Fa Jue said: "Jiang Liu'er, what is the Buddha's righteousness in the Three Pure Flesh in the Vinaya that you said, if you can relieve our doubts, I will persuade Senior Brother Fa Ming to let you shave in Jinshan Temple." ”

Jiang Liu'er folded his hands and said, "Thank you Uncle Fajue for the fulfillment, the Buddha said that there are three conditions for the three pure flesh that bhikshus can eat: the first is to kill without seeing it, the second is to kill without hearing it, and the third is not to kill it for yourself." ”

Fa Jue suddenly had a feeling of being overwhelmed: "Jiang Liu'er, do you meet these three conditions, and all the meat is edible for us?"

"Nope. Human meat, elephant meat, horse meat, dog meat, snake meat, lion meat, tiger meat, leopard meat, bear meat and coyote meat, these ten kinds of meat, the "Law Collection" stipulates that they cannot be eaten, and they are the ten forbidden meats of Buddhism. Of course, if there is a bhikshu who aspires to abstain from all meat, this is commendable. However, they should not criticize, let alone attack, Buddhist disciples who eat the three pure meats in the same way, so that everyone can live in harmony, love each other, promote the Dharma, and attain the fruits of the Tao together. ”
